Are you one of those people annoyed by the word meme? Well, turn away dear friend. Yesterday, the Daily Mail posted an incredible photograph from the Ryder Cup–one depicting a golf ball not much more than a nose hair away from the lens. Of course, the Interneters of the world…
Before Texas-OU rattled the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, Shakira brought her tour through Dallas’ American Airlines Center for her own bit of shake-n-bake. And the already-elated crowd got a taste of pure Shakira-heaven when she made her way to the stage… through the crowd.Our photographer Kevin Todora had to bust…
Between the Rangers’ and University of Texas’ weekend losses, there might be enough desk-chair-throwing sports talk to last the morning.

On October 25th and 26th, Cassie’s Frozen Yogurt in Grapevine is honoring the scrappy plummer’s 25 years in the gaming world by offering up eight-bit gameplay and discounts for those who wear video game-esque costumes.

It was bound to happen. Here we are hurdling hurtling through space, and no one has created a bust of Kevin Bacon, made of bacon yet? Wait no longer! From the people who brought you “bacon salt,” partnered with “What Would Bacon Do?,” it’s bacon Kevin Bacon! More literally: “Statue…
You may need to sit down. Take a breather. The State Fair is beyond space-epic, at this point. You’ve eaten a good chunk of the fair’s fried foods already, haven’t you? Maybe a giant, throbbing red pickle or too? (Maybe you’re throbbing too). If you’re not at critical mass yet,…
This Saturday at the Dallas Convention Center, B-Hamp and some of his famous friends hosted an official Grambling vs. Prairie View after-party with a big goal in mind: to set the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Indoor Party.” (The goal was to have over 10,000 guests–we’re waiting on confirmation…
There really is no shortage of incredible burgers in this town. We gave Angry Dog our Best Of Dallas nod for their always juicy, shredded cheese-topped hamburger–knowing full well the worthy contestants in the mix. Let’s just say, it was a difficult decision. With Wingfield’s, Plano’s Holy Grail, The Grape…
When your Slave Leia Apron isn’t enough, there’s always room for Shatner’s favorite pizza cutter. In our minds, William Shatner slices hors d’oeuvres-sized pizzas with this to impress guests. “What’s that you say? You like my pizza cutter? Oh, this old thing [laughs].”…
Dubstep producer and game-changer DJ Rusko, stopped by Dallas’ Lizard Lounge on a leg of U.S. tour dates (he’s on to Denver’s Ogden Theater next) to promote O.M.G! with DJ Titan. As usual, he managed to enthrall the pants off–literally in some cases–of the audience. Check out more Lizard Lounge…
In Darryl Smyers Q&A with Tommy Thayer, who has played guitar in KISS since 2002, Thayer mentioned his weight-loss from the strain of the tall shoes and heat of the lights. Bottom line: it’s hard work to dress up like KISS. Clearly, fans don’t mind. This past Saturday, KISS headlined…
The first 50 people in line for Tegan and Sara’s in-store on Friday, September 10, got to meet the adored duo. But plenty others waited for the chance–and early, too. Good Records’ Chris Penn reports that people were lining up at the Greenville Avenue record store as early as 5…

It’s salty. It’s alcoholic. That’s right, it’s, now famous, FRIED BEER! You knew you were ready for it. Though it didn’t win “Best Taste” at the Big Tex Choice Awards (Fried Frito Pie did…mmm…fried chili), it took home the “Most Creative” fried fair. The good thing: the fried delicacies of…

The Sun-Times reported that Burger King’s breakfast menu provides 12 percent of the chain’s revenue, while McDonalds gets a whopping 25…
Some people spend their Labor Days grilling by the pool. Others wallow pool cues and eat fire. The Hellzapoppin Sideshow Revue, which features “electrical death defying stunts” and fire eating, stopped by Trees on Friday night–and it was merely one of our photographers Ray and Peter Lek’s stop this Labor…
Thanks to Instructables (via BoingBoing) any apartment-livers out there, or people of a future, Road-esque apocalypse, may be able to grill for Labor Day. Sure it probably does one slider, or one hot dog round at a time, but it’s portable. Any ensuing fire can most likely be put out…
If you haven’t witnessed intense theatre eroticism, than you’re seriously missing something in your life.

This version, adapted and directed…
Earlier today, Steve Jobs unveiled “Ping,” a new social media platform within iTunes. We think it’s going to really take off–as well as solidify Apple’s burgeoning reputation as the future Cyberdyne systems. In this light, we propose a few apps that Jobs could-have possibly unveiled today (or perhaps, might in…
August was a real scorcher–which meant that some of the best parties and concerts in Dallas happened after-hours and were occasionally NSFW. (Science tells us that it’s cooler without clothes on.) So, on that note, after the jump, we’ve provided links to all those night moves slideshows–with photos by Roderick…
Sorry. No more. We wouldn’t want you to get angry and blow up like T.N.T., would we?(Dry cough.) Uh, just go check out Rachel Parker’s full slideshow for more photos of Iron Maidens and Dshe’s show. Cool? Cool…
