Easter Recipe #1: Maple Eggs

By Allie Ferrara / New York City

I have great memories of Easter holidays past. Who doesn’t love an excuse to gorge on chocolate bunnies, wear pastels unashamedly for one day of the year and if you’re the church going type, don a Kentucky Derby-esque wide brim hat to services because it’s Easter and why the hell not.

I’ve Always Been With COCO

By Katie Kenny / Boston

Out of the Leno’s, the Letterman’s and the other late night talk shows, in my opinion, one host (not just his bold red locks) has always stood above the rest: Conan O’Brien.

It could be his sideline comedian, Andy Richter, it could very well be the hilarious skits (his trip to Ireland is a dear one) or maybe it really is his hair that makes him get people chanting “Coco! Coco!” All I know is that he doesn’t need to take a coveted Late Night seat to be the best because as audiences have proved: He is the freakin best.

I could go into great detail but instead I will leave these videos to do the talking.

Nintendo’s Next-Next Gen Console

By Ian Kenny / New Jersey

It came a little earlier than expected but the rumors are flying that Nintendo will be announcing it’s newest console at this June’s E3. Codenamed “Project Cafe,” the new hardware will reportedly not be the heavily rumored ‘WiiHD’ but an entirely new console that boasts better graphics than the PS3 and the Xbox 360. This comes as a very bold statement considering Sony’s claim, made earlier this year, that the PS3 had not yet reached the halfway point of it’s lifespan.

Yes, this is very much a “being Asian” thing. Let me break it down for you.

Imagine emigrating to Uzbekistan and never being able to have a Slim Jim ever again. Furthermore the only Uzbek equivalent is chewy goat rectum. What a devastating blow! My friend, I too have a similar plight.
