Rolf Potts On Tuesday I traveled to Metuchen, New Jersey, for a reading at The Raconteur Bookshop. It was the first time I’ve read publicly from Where No Travel Writer Has Gone Before , and I recruited audience members to read the Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Uhura lines from the fantasy sequence in Part Two . They did great, and the whole reading proved quite a hoot.

Iranians line up daily to cross the Astara River to buy and sell jeans, chickens, bras, laptops — and often sex and schnapps and heroin. This commerce, combined with cultural curiosity and shared...

I'm a sucker for a great Caesar salad. Call me old school, but there are few things that can beat it in my book. Garlicky, lemony, cheesy, and anchovy-y, if there is such a word. If there isn't, there should be. Sadly, a great restaurant Caesar salad has eluded me in this city of ours.

Tila Tequila's Happy Time Tampon Marathon was broadcast on her Ustream page and featured her shaking nalgas, flashing her titty balls, playing with her tampon string and waving a gun around like it was a dildo.
