Glenn Beck was touting the “double-fried cherry pie” from the Chip Shop in Park Slope today on his show. How do you feel Brooklyn? FYI, here’s more on the Chip Shop’s fried desserts in a Gawker post I did last year.

In fact, we’ve blacklisted more songs than we have approved. One of the biggest names on that list is Journey — I’m fraking sick of hearing “Don’t Stop Believing.” Well, that was until tonight, when I heard “Oh Sherrie” by Steve Perry on the radio. The DJ will play this song for several reasons. 1. It’s awesome — but not in a good way. 2. It has not yet been co-opted by drunk d-bags at fratty bars in lame neighborhoods. Key word: Yet. 3. BASEketball. When I was in high school, we loved that movie. So much, in fact, that my friends started their own BASEketball leagues, complete with Journey psych outs, just like in the movie.

And that’s why I can’t wait to sing this terrible, terrible song at my wedding reception. Also: The original video.

I put little effort into the post and, for “snowicane,” just combined the word snow with hurricane. Easy. But just a bit ago, while reading Gothamist, I noticed a different spelling: Snowacane (emphasis added). Concerned I somehow muffed the spelling I turned to Google to see which was more correct. Snowicane:

Snowacane:

Obviously, this is a pressing matter. Judging by Google results alone, I’d guess I’m correct, and being the nerd that I am, this matters. And when have Google search results ever been wrong? (Ed. not: Seriously, there are more than 2 million links for that search!) But here’s my question: How the frig did someone decide to use the letter “a” rather than “i”? “Snowicane” is a combination of “snow” and “hurricane,” not “hurracane,” right? How did a newspaper editor let that spelling slip by? Have I been spelling hurricane wrong my entire life? Is Firefox’s spell check lying to me now? Do I have too much time free time on my hands? You know what? Don’t answer that last one.

So, yeah, I’m excited about getting this.
