Lyrically interesting and varied.

These are well-written and arch. The plot elements - vampires, werewolves, steampunk London, Cthulhu imagery - have rarely been used to such good effect.

This is awesome - an easy, single-page graphic. If only crunchy vs. mealy were incorporated it would be perfect.

Delicious and portable. Cherries stain one's lips a color that is attractive on almost everyone.

This show is reliably funny and does not require following a plot thread. Many silly references to sillier pop culture, historic events, etc. In short, the perfect television show for the ADHD.

Entertaining and amusing, yet does not require a whole lot of thought. Also one of the few television shows that has characters who have actual jobs they to which they must attend and money problems.

Bouncy bad attitude! It's like being in high school all over again, except with fewer tests, detentions and eyeliner.

Exceptionally well-made clothing built to last. Recognizable house aesthetic. Stage-like pieces balanced with wearable mainline items. Pieces generally exceptionally flattering for most women.
Cons: Expensive.

Non-Indo European language spoken in Europe. Similar to Finnish although not necessarily mutually intelligble.
Cons: Limited geographic distribution of speakers. Some nationalist politics around Estonian make it a politically non-neutral choice.

Widely spoken in South Africa, provides lexical base for some pidgins. Interesting morphology with robust noun class system; phonology includes some click consonants. isiZulu is a written language and there are available print materials.

Scavenger Hunt. Many of your fellow students will be the kind of nerds that do all the reading.
Cons: "Hell Does Freeze Over" t-shirts depressingly hard to find. Crossing the Midway in winter will cause you to have nightmares for years afterward. Responsible for Milton Friedman.

Uses a tiny lens to capture enormous detail. Clever dialogue in her short stories.
Cons: Too long an interrupted reading period will lead to lasting bitterness until chased away by snacks.

Alexander Cockburn's column, with all its red appeal and tinfoil hat allure. Not ashamed of being left wing.
Cons: Occasionally badly-sourced pieces lead to the sense one might be able to sell the editors beachfront property in the Dakotas.
