International Universal Singing Supernova Justin Bieber performed in front of a screaming, frenzied audience of over 12,000 people and several hundred animals at the Maryland State Fair on Sunday, sending humans into frothing convulsions coupled by uncontrollable sobbing and child worship. The condition, known as "Bieber Fever," was previously considered to be a mild disorder with a relatively short disease course of several hours, or concurrent distance from the teenage singer, with very few if any lasting effects.

That is, unfortunately, until Sunday when it became apparent that Bieber Fever is contractible to livestock. [...]

Continuing the tradition of chronicling our society's decline, yesterday's Labor Day celebration included the annual Buffalo Wing eating contest in (where else?) Buffalo, New York. The winner, 42 year old Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas, ate 181 wings in 12 minutes. Try to watch this entire spectacle without vomiting just a little:

SpaceManAndy’s Advice for Spelunked in Baltimore

SpaceManAndy — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:53:42 +0000

Dear SpaceManAndy, A few friends and I are planning on doing some urban exploring in a few days. With that said, could you possibly give me some advice about breaking & entering abandoned buildings, running from the law & the proper way to stab a bum? Thanks, Spelunked in Baltimore (not the urban dict. meaning) Dear Spelunked, Please read the following in the voice of the narrator from those old Goofy cartoons: Urban Exploration, that time honored tradition of investigating and photographing those places that have been forgotten by time (but not crackheads). Urban Exploration can be fun and safe as long as you follow these simple dos and don’ts.

T&T&A Book Party at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club

Evan — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:50:31 +0000

Next Thursday, September 9th at Larry Flint's Hustler Club (409 E. Baltimore St., Downtown) from 8-11pm comes one of the more unusual book signings/parties I've heard of in a while (and by that I mean ever); NY based photographer Tony Stamolis' recent release T&T&A - a book solely devoted to pictures of topless women alongside pictures of tacos and other Mexican food - is coming to town and doin' it up The Block style right here in Baltimore. I thumbed through a few pages of the tome and what can I say, it's a bunch of topless women and dirty Mexican food. So, if that's your thing then by all means grab yourself a copy of the book next Thursday!

Baltimore Beer Week 2010 (aka BBW 2010)

Evan — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:04:01 +0000

The cooler days of Fall are approaching (thank God) and it can mean one of several things for you personally, be it impending yardwork, giving birth to a child, whatever floats your boat. But certainly, one thing it should definitely mean for you personally is your participation in the 2nd Annual Baltimore Beer Week, put [...]

Baltimore Mad Libs!

Evan — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:05:23 +0000

Everybody loves Mad Libs. It's a scientific fact. And at some point recently the thought occurred to me: "Hey there should be some Mad Libs about Baltimore, that'd be pretty funny." And then I thought "Hey I should run a contest where I make a Mad Lib about Baltimore and people fill it out and the best submission wins, that'd be pretty funny."

And so here we are folks: we'll be launching a 2-fold "Baltimore Mad Libs" contest, with two totally awesome prizes - one for the best "fill in the words" for a Mad Lib about Baltimore we provide, and an even BIGGER prize for the best "make your own Mad Lib about Baltimore."

(If you've been living in a cave for the past 30+ years and just recently attained internet service and don't know how a Mad Lib works, go here)

The "fill in the blanks" Mad Lib will go live tonight and submissions will be accepted until Midnight Sunday. If you're even more creative than most and would like to create your own Mad Lib about Baltimore, type it up in whatever text program you see fit and email it to us by next Tuesday, September 7th (here's an example of what it should look like). The best ones will be featured in a future post/contest all their own and will win a prize package consisting of some seriously awesome stuff.

So get your creative juices flowing people, let the zany hilarity ensue!
