THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Editor's Note When I was in grade school, my cousin and I used to make disgusting concoctions and then try to get my neighbor girl to try them. We would mix such household goodies as honey, grape juice, hot sauce, cinnamon and mustard with more 'exotic ingredients such as sand. To top it off we would freeze dead flies in ice cube trays. Then we would call my neighbor to come over and hand her the dripping slop when we tried not to let our giggles escape. I can't remember a single time my neighbor did more than sniff her carefully created drink, shove it back in our faces and run home. Apparently I was not the only one fascinated with these four mixtures, and it seems some bartenders and drinkers have not given them up. In "Strange Brews" on page eight, writer Chris Brown examines the ingredients and bizarre appeal of these drinks and lets you know where you can find them in Lawrence. We've also listed a few recipes, so drink at your own risk. Hey, you may even find one you'll actually like. Shot names have always grossed me out anyway the monkey gland, corpse reviver, duck fart, test tube baby, but perhaps the most repulsive is the income tax. And after glancing at what's in the drinks in the article, I can tell you the next time I'm offered a shot. I'll be asking for a list of ingredients. mhuber@kansan.com Inside 3 Weekly choice 4 Bite Don't be farklempt; nosh on kosher foods 6 Manual Playing nice with your roomies 8 Venue Sickening swallows and gross gulps 10 Band Interview Up close with Bob Schneider 11 Bitch + Moan Virgin pressures, allergies & facial hair that tickles 12 Feature DIY venues = manufactured madness 16 Contact Don't let people get you down 18 Movies The Sea Inside, Robots, Kasabian & Tekken 5 23 Speak Most people fight with siblings, she took care of hers EDITOR AKA QUEEN BEE Misty Huber The Jayplayers// ASSOCIATE EDITOR HATES TAGLINES Liz Begas CLERK GETS AROUND TOWN Meredith Desmond DESIGNERS MAKE PRETTY PAGES Emily Homer Joshua Kendall BITE AWAY SAY ALL THE MEMORIES Blira Fioraman Mala Masud Anija Winkwa CONTACT WILL HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEMS Ashley Doyle Samara Navir Erin Shipps MANUAL is ACTUALLY USEFUL.
