By Nina Anthony

Foreplay? Fore-PLEASE. If I run across one more kid who thinks it is proper etiquette to just stick it in, I'm going to scream. Why can't we be more like the French - a minimum of three orgasms before penetration? I'd ev...

It's good to be the weatherhuman. Not only do you get to say whatever the hell you want to 20,000 people (well, let's be honest: 2,000,000 people), you get to be in control of the weather.

Root of Isla Vista Evil Not Lost on darksideofUCSB.com

By James Baron

Right Rant, Wrong Rag? It would appear that Adam Graff may have submitted his diatribe entitled "It Takes an Isla Village" (Daily Nexus, Oct. 17), to the wrong paper. Adam's comments about rude drivers, pathetic-looking ...

Yesterday I was driving on Camino Pescadero, when some crazy lady flew through a stop sign and made a left turn right in front of me. I missed her by a fraction of an inch. As I craned my head to scream at her, I caught ...
