One of the local news sources I read is The Miami Student, the Miami U student paper. They're students so I cut them some slack since they're still finding their voices. But to call 'Beetlejuice' "...a slept-on Tim Burton film..." is WILD. It was a massive hit - It also had a sequel and a cartoon!

I present this to you, because it's absolutely glorious: Cincinnati-style chili Egg Rolls. skylinechili.com/recipes/skyl...

No lies told.

Wait, it's Friday? Okay. Almost there.

DOINK!
