Not only was La Lengua the subject of a newspaper article yesterday, it also made its debut on the local news. CBS 5 talks to Burrito Justice and a few other La Lenguans, and gets a lengua taco at some place called “Taqueria Can-Can.”

Watch it here.

That just ain’t right.

It’s tonight at Kitsch Gallery. Read all about it:

Once there was a time when people knew the difference between sacrifice and compromise. Which is to say, they knew the difference between a walrus and a robot. Which is to say, they knew the difference between a hole in the ice… and the ice itself. They knew each of the 18 hand movements prescribed by Time Motion Study, and they knew how to use them in a way that was restful. This play is a television mini-series about that remarkable period of time.

As always, The Missoula Oblongata is asking the big questions here: Can inefficiency be cured? If a robot is smarmy, is it only a reflection of your own smarminess? What exactly does it take to get oneself on a postage stamp?

This April, The Missoula Oblongata will be touring their new play, The Daughter of the Father of Time Motion Study around the country. It’s the company’s sixth touring production–this one half the size of their usual main-stage fare, but with all of the moving parts, twisty dialog, and duct-taped together lighting that the company has become known for. And all of it is created, performed, and operated from the stage (that is, a 6′ x 6′ x ’6 box) by the three full-time members of the company: Madeline ffitch, Sarah Lowry, and Donna Sellinger.

Sexpigeon today published a devastating treatise on the donut in modern American society:

There have been efforts in our nation’s cities to better the donut. The concept of a donut is simple and unassailable, the manifestation of a donut is cheap to execute. How, then, to better a donut? So far the answer has been the same answer pizza and coffee were given back in the 1990s: get goofy with the flavors.

So now we’ve got hibiscus donuts, pb&j donuts, passionfruit donuts, carrot cake donuts, blood orange donuts with candied blood orange slices on top. These retail for two to four times the cost of an ordinary donut. You don’t mind paying this because the product is so very novel. You can tell your mom that in [American city x] they sell donuts that taste like Earl Grey tea, and she will be delighted in the mode of “what’ll they think of next,” and you can congratulate yourself for being a well-informed man-about-town. Rather large rewards for what amounts to an extra dollar or three.

Read on for the author’s take on how to better appreciate donuts worth appreciating.

Our buddy Kati J. spotted this on the ground somewhere in the vicinity of Mission Cliffs the other day — and for some reason DIDN’T PICK IT UP. For shame, Kati.

I hope somebody snagged it, and will soon bless us with some dope screencaps.

UPDATE: Kati J. defends herself:

Well, I thought it might be more beneficial to a tourist.

How thoughtful! You’re the best, Kati!
