Dude, Get With the Program

I had to suffer through many battles against my suitemate last year; this subject happened to be one of them. He preferred under the roll, whereas I happened to side with the over the roll contingent. Seeing that I was the one actually providing the toilet paper (and not stealing it from around campus), I won out.

Obligatory "that's how I roll" comment goes here.

Vox Hunt: Cover Me

Audio: Let's hear your favorite cover song.
Submitted by Suzy.

The Clash - Police and Thieves

The Clash

The Clash's rendition of Police and Thieves has an entirely different feel to it when compared to the original, yet it works. That, my friends, is the hallmark of a good cover.

Original included for the hell of it:

Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves

Junior Murvin

I was at a show where the original was playing over the sound system before the headlining act (I think it was the Slackers) took the stage. The fellow behind me was telling his friend how awesome this reggae cover of a Clash song was. I couldn't help but shake my head in disgust at that statement. Ugh, music snobbery!

I don't have remotely enough friends to justify having these many controllers.

QotD: Pizza Preference

How do you eat your pizza: folded, flat or with a fork and knife?
Submitted by danimass.

No self-respecting New Yorker eats pizza flat or with a fork and knife. You eat a pizza folded, my friends.

Don't even get me started on the people who dab their pizza with a napkin.

I can't help but think that the stupid Dominos Brooklyn Style Pizza commercial inspired this QotD.

QotD: I Can't Believe I Ate This

What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
Submitted by Megan.

If by "weirdest" you mean "most regrettable" then undoubtedly it's the Hamdog from Mulligan's. The infamous Hamdog is a hot dog wrapped in hamburger meat, served on a hoagie, topped with bacon, chili, cheese, and a fried egg.

It lasted me the entirety of the trivia night there, though,
