Spring Break
Dan Cramer, who graduated in December as an economics major, is just one of 32 fighters competing for a six-figure UFC contract tonight on the premiere of SpikeTV's "The Ultimate Fighter." The show airs at 10 p.m. and Cramer will be at Thirsty Dog Pub & Grille to watch with friends, explain the show to patrons and either celebrate his success or mourn his failure - he isn't allowed to say whether he makes it past the first round of the show or not.

College is a time to learn different life lessons. Some learn the "don't walk around UConn in Uggs when it's raining" lesson, while others learn the "don't park next to your dorm during the week if you don't want a ticket" lesson.

Totally factual: all men look at porn every day, all the time. It is hiding under every pair of boxer shorts and in every folder labeled "Games." If you have a boyfriend, he is looking at porn right now. Also true: women, when exposed to porn, have a violent allergic reaction that causes them to vomit their kidneys over five feet. (1) comment
Some might not think that a film where a man leaves his future wife at the altar with their unborn child would be predictable. And for the most part, it is. "Run Fatboy Run" proves to be the right balance of light, fluffy cliché mixed in with raunchy, crude humor but proves to be an all too familiar story just placed in the different setting of London.

Many UConn students know firsthand just how laughable some of Connecticut's laws are. Students who have crossed state lines after 9:00 on a Saturday night to replenish their alcohol supply can discuss this silliness at length. But there are plenty of other laws at work around the state, both covering individual towns and the whole state. (1) comment
