NEWS OF THE WEIRD
Sensitive types Los Angeles psychologist Michael Cohn filed a lawsuit in May against the Los Angeles Angels baseball team because he didn’t get a red nylon bag that the team was giving to women for “Family Sunday” on Mothers’ Day last year. “Carlos the Jackal,” who is perhaps the world’s most notorious terrorist and who…
LETTERS
Wake up call I picked up the Orlando Weekly a few days ago due to “Hey Dems!” on the cover `Aug. 31`. I read with great glee your write-up on the Democratic candidates for Congress. I laughed out loud while reading this to some friends, especially the article on Alan Grayson. This guy would be…
SELECTIONS
;Friday•8 ;DJ Onionz and ;Patrick Turner ;;Schooled in Queens, DJ Onionz years ago described his beat mix as “Grandmaster Flash meets Frankie Knuckles and Sven Vath.” If you recognize those names, you’ll also be familiar with Baltimore’s Patrick Turner, who’s been behind the decks since he was 16 and is well-respected for his hard-charging ability…
ROARING IN THEIR 20s
;For the release of Rory’s first full-length record, We’re Up to No Good, We’re Up to No Good, on Orlando-based One Eleven Records, the band isn’t just planning your average “We released a record, let’s play it” type of show, guitarist Jordan Shroyer says. He hints that the event may feature ice cream-filled guitars and…
FAST AND DIRTY
; The disco ball at the sakting rink in DeLand spins as AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds” blazes in the background. Ten ladies dressed in ballsy getups are whipping around the makeshift derby track, much narrower than the usual rink and marked with tube lights. Once in a while, one of the Florida Rollergirls spills into the…
WHITE LIGHTNING
They operate in the shadows, skirting the law to exchange hard cash for the cool white liquid. What is the illicit substance that drives these seekers to such depths? The answer may surprise you: pure, unadulterated milk — not the kind that’s advertised with dripping mustaches but the stuff that comes straight from the cow.…
THE THIRD PLACE
It’s a typical Thursday post-work comedown outside the 903 Mills Market. An older couple quietly picks at their sandwiches and sips their sangrias, a guy and his gal pal chatter over Bud Lights, a huddle of hipsters with new beer guts lean back in their chairs and smile. “Don’t it always seem to go, that…
BLISTER
There are certain pink flags each and every smaller blond half should pick up in the behavior patterns of their larger half: the anger twitch, the collar lipstick, the balled-up credit card receipts in the front pocket of his three-day jeans. The less obvious the evidence, the more lushly imaginative the jealousy screenplay; typically it’s…
SAVAGE LOVE
;I am a 22-year-old woman, generally happy, but I have a problem with cheating. My peers seem to have no problems staying faithful, but I do. I have never been faithful to anyone, and I have had many relationships with men and women. Some found out, some didn’t. I have finally found someone I feel…
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
ARIES Five years ago, I began making daily bike rides. Early on, I realized I’d regularly have to deal with loose dogs running toward me with the intent to bite. For protection, I armed myself with pepper spray and yummy treats. In all that time, I’m happy to report, I’ve squirted just one dog in…
I LOVE TELEVISION
;We need to discuss this Kevin Federline problem. As in … WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? “Ooooh,” you say in an effeminate voice. “I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about, Humpy.” Don’t play coy with me, you lying pile of peehole. You know very well that Britney Spears’ deadbeat hubby,…
WISDOM OF THE AGES
The first time I saw one of Grady Kimsey’s primitive tribal sculptures was approximately 20 years ago at the Maitland Art Center. Among all the pretty paintings and lovely vases, here was this figure formed from dark clay, looking not of this earth yet clearly composed of its substance. A wise mentor of mine at…
HAPPYTOWN
