    Reality shows never cease to amaze
    By on September 16, 2004 at 12:00 am • 0 Comments •
    It never seems to end-reality TV shows will never die. Everyone was so into it four years ago, but now I think I'm just about tired of it. Reality shows and any show that has anything to do with the law has been run into the ground and broken off. The latest joke-the Benefactor.
    CD Review

    There are two things that had me speeding through the deserted streets of Fayetteville the other night: the end of my girlfriend and the new Taking Back Sunday album. I don't mean the end of my girlfriend as in her demise, but instead the end of her as my girlfriend; then came Taking Back Sunday to the rescue.
    Delicacies make for a “taboo” show

    Just this past weekend, I took a northbound trip to the towns of Wamego, Kan. and Hannibal, Mo. Part of the trip was business related, but the latter half consisted of relaxing in my hometown. Unfortunately, with not a lot to do in Hannibal, laziness is bred and you end up sneaking in some mindless TV time.

    We've all seen it before, at least in the movies: the stereotypical college girl walking home from campus late at night, when suddenly she is accosted or physically harmed and everyone is left in fear of the university in the dark.

    It appears I've been challenged. Let's start by defining the word "art," for those of us who aren't rocket scientists. My good friends at dictionary.com tell me "art" has several different meanings, including: 1) A high quality of conception or execution 2) A system of principles and methods employed in the performance of a set of activities: the art of building 3) A skill that is attained by study, practice or observation: the art of the baker; the blacksmith's art.

    For most of the football season Razorback fans are willing to tailgate. But when it came to Arkansas' long-standing beef with Texas, fans took it to the next level with a multi-night camping trip to gate 17 that started Wednesday. This small but dedicated group was willing go to any length to get good seats for Arkansas's ultimate test of wills, the Texas game.
    Brown seeks to unify UA campus

    Helping students, chasing after people and making plans to better the UA is not a typical daily agenda for the basic college senior, but it's not unusual for Associated Student Government President Randy Brown. His office seems plain enough, with a few pictures of family, a student handbook, along with a bunch of papers and plans and names scratched out on a marker board.
    Remembering 9/11

    On Sept. 11, 2001, the United States was changed forever. What was unthinkable to Americans became reality, and what was unbelievable became true. But three years later, Sept. 11, 2004, will be just another day. The Hogs will play the Longhorns. Students and fans will fill the stadium and hover around TVs to watch the game.
    Two Big Macs with extra stressing, please

    All I wanted was to eat my two fillet o'fishes from McDonald's and make it to my appointment on time. It's not an outlandish request, nor is it insurmountable. But a few weeks ago, you'd think I'd asked for Ralph Nader to win the presidential election. My little Dodge Neon was four cars back from the speaker box in the popular fast food restaurant.
    Dog Fashion Disco a total carnival ride

    More often than not a band's name will instantly create preconceived thoughts as to how listeners can classify the band's music. With a name like Dog Fashion Disco though, ears perk and eyebrows rise. Dogs? Disco? What? Dog Fashion Disco, it's a name that strikes fear and curiosity into the hearts and ears of unsuspecting listeners.
