From the reasoning of the Dawg name to the best comic book authors, from the history of the Hot to a timeline of industrial music, Cory has the trivia, and the opinions to mouth off about it.

I just got back from Minneapolis, a city with some of the absolute best history in cycling here in the USA. Last year, Bicycling Magazine crowned Minneapolis the number 1 bike city, dethroning Portland, and swapping nicknames from Portland East for Minneapolis to Minneapolis West for Portland. Having been to Minneapolis in the winter a few times now, and growing up in a slightly warmer Midwestern city, i will say that the cyclists of Minneapolis are more hardcore than anywhere I’ve ever been. Riding on ice in negative Fahrenheit temperatures is insane, but it’s almost blase there.

Here’s a fantastic video on the Stupor Bowl, which i’ll describe a bit more below the break. Be aware that this is NSFW due to cussing and a bit of vomiting towards the end. All in good fun…
