Beep baseball is a game that can be played by […]
Dear Badvice, The elections were yesterday, and I’ll be damned if I let those whiny-ass liberals take over my country. We need leaders with a spine, not bleeding-heart snowflakes that incite mob mentality. Now, I don’t mean to sound so brash but needless to say, I am deeply disappointed in […]
Dear Badvice, It’s Halloween, and ever since I can remember, it’s been my all-time favorite holiday. I’ve always idolized horror legends like Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers and Leatherface. I often fantasize I’m the one partaking in the perfectly natural and totally relatable monstrous activity when I watch their movies. As […]

Dear Badvice, Ever since I can remember, my sister and I have had very similar tastes in men. So similar, in fact, that when she got married to her current husband, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him too. Honestly, I am conflicted about it. My question: is […]
Clayton Koff Staff Writer This weekend, I had the pleasure of watching ISU’s production of the contemporary musical “First Date.” Never have I witnessed such a display of dedication and passion delivered in such a sexy, witty and cohesive way. Every actor and actress involved went above and beyond during […]
Dear Badvice, Last weekend, I went a pretty wild party, and I ended up going home with someone. As I’m sure you can guess, things escalated rather quickly and we ended up making Jesus cry. I was intoxicated enough that I didn’t care that they used protection. I haven’t experienced […]
Dear Badvice, Lately, I’ve felt unhealthy and disgusting. I have a terrible diet that includes a two-liter of diet soda with every meal, cheesy puffs and at least six Big Macs a week. I also don’t go to the gym and I have no desire to, but I would really […]
Dear Badvice, As a broke college student, I need a job, but can’t seem to find any. I have a pretty good work ethic and some job experience but could still use your advice. What is the best way to make money in Bannock County? Sincerely, Broke But Hopeful. Dear […]
Clayton Koff Staff Writer I often contemplate why music is such a polarizing activity. It is one of the purest and most natural forms of enjoyment on the planet. As a species we are completely saturated in music, from movies, videogames, the radio and even the rhythmic sounds of nature. […]
Dear Badvice, I’ve been seeing this girl for a while now, but I can’t really figure out if she’s into me or not. Every time we are alone together, she starts acting super strangely. One minute she’s into it, the next she isn’t. Please help! Sincerely, Hopelessly Enchanted Dear Hopelessly […]
