The Midwest is the Best

In the words of our lovely hometown heros, the Headlights, B just wants to reiterate the fact the the midwest is the best. Not to be biased or anything, but I fucking love the fall. I love the colors and the crunching of the leaves and the FABULOUS scarves that I get to wear. Had to share after a lovely snark-free stroll.

Don't worry, we're usually much less agreeable but we're drunk on the autumn fashions currently....

Snark-free Shoutout

J was lucky enough to catch a showing of Jekyll and Hyde, the Champaign-Urbana Theatre Company's latest production, last night at the Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign (yes, that's Illinois, kiddies). IT WAS AWESOME. Like, truly outstandingly phenomenal. We'll spare you any geeking out about the play in context with modern research (it's incredibly relevant) and instead just tell you that the stage design was brilliant, the costumes were beautiful, and the performances were absolutely breathtaking. If any of you Snarkers are out there in CU (fuck it, if anybody's in the state), get your booties down to Champaign and check out the last performance TODAY at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $19 for adults, $17 for seniors/students, and $6 for kiddies.

Ketchup-Flavored Potato Chips - Upgrade or Downgrade?

We here at Room for Snark have a shared love of a lot of things, potato chips included. However, one flavor we're not seeing eye to eye on is ketchup.


B has unearthed the fact that our great neighbors to the north, in addition to having great healthcare and being the butt of many a How I Met Your Mother joke, sell quite a few of these condiment-flavored gems. Google has also revealed that these...um...delicacies are fairly common in other locales, too. And this is where the dilemma begins. B would be more than happy to munch on these; J would rather eat dirt (and not the delicious pudding/Oreo concoction).

So what do you think, dear Snarkers? Ketchup-flavored chips - upgrade or downgrade?

Saturday Morning Danny Tanner-ism

Being children on the 90's, we along with the rest of our generation were in love with Full House. We thought DJ was the cool teenager that we totally wanted to be, that Steph was witty and in later years almost bought flannel because of her, that Jesse was the coolest uncle and definitely wanted to ride his motorcycle (ha...), and even then, we thought that Michelle was fucking annoying. But the one thing that we believe was completely under-appreciated by the bulk America was the hottness of Danny Tanner. That hair, those sweaters, that mild OCD - what's there not to love? With that being said, we're now instituting a weekly Danny Tanner-ism so you and us can get our fix for the week. Enjoy.
