Homemade ice cream from Sick Science! A perfect DIY for a long weekend…
I feel like Columbus doesn’t really have a great catch phrase, like “I Love New York” or “The Windy City” or “Cleveland: At Least It’s Not Detroit”. I would like to purpose a few ideas of my own.
Columbus: Come for the clouds, stay for the rain!
Columbus: Experience all four seasons in a day!
Columbus: Our highways are America’s greatest obstacle course!
Columbus: Where two inches of snow is a level-4 emergency!
Columbus: The Football of It All.
Columbus: Everything is Buckeyes and Nothing Hurt.
Columbus: Where Sunshine Goes to Die.
Columbus: What’s a parking garage?
Columbus: America’s Gayest City. Almost.
Columbus: No, we can’t get you Urban Meyer’s number.
Columbus: Six hours from where you want to be.
Columbus: America’s Retail Guinea Pig.
Columbus: Come for the fun, stay because you’re stuck in traffic.
Columbus: Where No One Really Cares About Pro Sports.
Some of these are painfully accurate
Columbus: At Least There Are No Tourists!
Having lived in Columbus for four better years of my adult life, I can totally relate. Sadly, I cannot let this go without nagging about the type of “purpose” instead of “propose” above.
Also, being me, I have to add that Columbus itself has no tourists yet is all tourists, as they’re all clogging up the two-lane roads in Amish Country.
And now, kind of an alteration of one above…
Columbus: Where the speed limit is 30 whenever it rains or snows at all. And we drive 25.”
Of course, according to Google Maps, it’s actually called Wall Street Road for some reason. Who’s occupying there?
Mike Huckabee, encouraging voter suppression this Friday in Mason, Ohio.
He was speaking in support of Issue 2. Issue 2 is the ballot referendum on Senate Bill 5, the bill in Ohio that stripped collective bargaining rights. Enough signatures were gathered to put SB 5 on the ballot as Issue 2.
A ‘yes’ vote means the voter supports SB 5 and Issue 2. A ‘no’ vote means the voter does not support SB 5 and Issue 2. So if you don’t support it, and you’re the relative of someone who does, Mike Huckabee thinks said relative should keep you from voting.
Thought experiment: What if a Democrat said this? What if Howard Dean said this at a fundraiser? Fox News would have a collective aneurysm. Instead, Huckabee’s comments are defended as “just a joke” online. Gotcha.

I’ll vote “No” if I have to walk there on crutches. Assholes.

Remember yesterday’s post about Highball Halloween stealing my image? Well, turns out they they don’t think the internet is the same as print advertising. Here’s them using my stolen image on the Short North Arts District’s website — artists stealing from artists!?
Thanks so much for all of the support, reblogs, and retweets so far. I’m not staying silent on this one.
So let me get this straight…. 250 VIP tickets at $65/ticket comes out to $16,250… yet The Official Short North HighBall Halloween still decided to STEAL my image to use in their large print advertising (a sign on High Street) and weren’t even willing to pay me for it? PLUS they charge everyone else $5 to WALK ON HIGH STREET (and I’m sure that they’re charging vendors a booth fee). Not only was the PERSONAL image taken from me without my permission, they admitted on the phone to me today that they KNOWINGLY cropped out my watermark. I was told that it wasn’t “in the spirit of Highball” for me to get paid. So what is the spirit of Highball? Artists stealing from artists? Plus they neglected to give Bob Kueppers and company credit for their amazing costumes that night. They claim that the sign is being taken down, but I still call for a BOYCOTT.
As an addendum… there is only one church in Ohio that has a profile on this site, 17 in Washington, and 86 (correction: 88) in Oregon. Somebody’s a bit more high tech or something!
Oh, that one Ohio church happens to be from my area: New Hope Community Church in little ol’ Loudonville.
So my professor last night said that unions are what ruined GM. And he said teacher unions’ original purpose was to improve teaching methods. He’s not totally against unions, but feels they have too much power and have gotten too much, costing companies and the economy lots of money.
What do you think?
Love it.
Before you get your Underoos® all bunched up, I think SB 5 was only moved from committee to the Senate floor for a vote. Not passed into law, as you imply. It still needs to pass the Senate and the House and be signed.
Yes, these are stupidly likely, but have not happened yet. And then, after Wisconsin and Ohio get their idiotic “budget balancing” acts passed, I hope every public servant in both states sits in front of their respective places of employment and refuse to work. Then we’ll see what these popularly elected politicians do when the entire infrastructure of education and civil protection (and… and… and…) comes to a halt.
[EDIT: I didnto realize that they had moved to vote on it so quickly on the Senate floor. My bad.]
