After the tractor-trailer exited off eastbound 70 onto north Mid Rivers Mall Drive this morning, it overturned, spilling some of its contents, which St. Peters police believe to be bratwurst.

Two Guys Take the Pointersaurus Challenge, Capture Their Failure on Video

 Posted on March 29, 2011  |  The Editor

The Pointer’s Pizza Pointersaurus challenge has been tried many times, probably because it sounds a lot easier when you aren’t staring at that football field of a pizza. Here are the rules: The contest costs $50 and is a 28″ Pointersaurus pizza which weighs ten pounds. Two people are allowed one hour to eat the pizza with either two meat toppings or four vegetable toppings. You must make a reservation at least one day in advance and the contest is only done at 3 PM each day.

Charlie Gitto’s Toasted Ravioli Will Be on Food Network

 Posted on March 22, 2011  |  The Editor

Last weekend Food Network was in town to shoot a segment for the show “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” and it shot a little deal about the toasted ravioli, the reigning king of “St. Louis foods”, at Charlie Gitto’s on The Hill. The crew was asked if they wanted to go out to St. Charles County to sample their best local flavors, but apparently Applebee’s hanging a Francis Howell jersey on the wall doesn’t mean you have any local claim to the Quesadilla Burger and it’s ability to “Take your taste buds for a Southwest joyride.

The Spandex House of South City

 Posted on March 21, 2011  |  The Editor

We know what you’re thinking: Photos of Kirstie Alley jogging aren’t relatable to you…but wait! Look again. True enough, that’s a large amount of spandex wrapped around a huge immovable object, but it’s actually a house, not Kirstie Alley. Seriously. Keep looking…try squinting a little…the trick is to look through the picture. There you go! See? House. We know, it’s tough. The house is on the corner of Arsenal and Iowa in South City and is indeed wrapped in white, gold chain-patterned, spandex. [Read More]

St. Louis Prepares for the Coming of Snooki

 Posted on March 10, 2011  |  The Editor

So far St. Louis has had Jersey Shore’s The Situation visit downtown herpes petri dish F15teen, we’ve been taken over by New Jersey on South Park and at some point Paulie D played music in town while wearing headphones…but only one ear pressed in to them so he looks like a cool DJ and doesn’t hurt his hair, so the fact that Snooki is now coming to town along with WWE’s Raw next week is of little surprise.

Awesome St. Louis Drummer is Awesome

 Posted on March 9, 2011  |  The Editor

Justin Bess is a drummer for local metal band Aegaeon, which we think is pronounced “never-heard-of-you”, but we love this video of Bess killing it on the drums. Check out Aegaeon’s band page for more videos, a distinct lack of Bess as their drummer, and photos of them looking like they’re unhappy someone is taking their photo. Standing still for a second is so not metal. Update: Here are their more updated Facebook and Twitter pages (the photo thing still applies in both cases). [Read More]

Mardi Gras is upon us, but that’s especially true for the fine residents of Soulard who enjoy the often repeated pleasure of “Dude! You can just get wasted and walk back home!” …but alas, they also have to look at the invading drunken hoards for an entire weekend, and lets face it, some are better to look at than others. Ok, lets really face it: Some of ya’ll are gross. It’s ok though! [Read More]

The Park Hills Subway Wasn’t the Most Friendly Place to Be Saturday

 Posted on February 22, 2011  |  The Editor

It may have looked like Halloween came really early in Park Hills, Missouri Saturday, but it wasn’t, just a bunch of racist dudes in little ghost costumes. For whatever reason Saturday was the day the local KKK decided to get the word out about their organization! …there also may have been a bake sale. None of those “black and white” cookies…just white ones. We’re also guessing a churro was hard to come by. [Read More]
