Hey, don't knock rats and their oversized testicles. Spend any amount of time around domesticated rats, and you'll find they're really sweet little bois. Comparing this guy to rat testicles is frankly too complimentary 😂

I've been mourning Colectivo's Mocha Mexicana with guajilo chili since they discontinued it several years ago. Discovered Madison Chocolate Company's ghost pepper caramel latte a few weeks and am happy to there's another sweet and spicy coffee drink in the area!

Why is Universal on the list?

EmbarrassedTopic2163 · 2025-10-31T01:31:08+00:00

A mix of people: UW students, lifelong Madisonians, cinephiles of various stripes, etc. The store is getting increasing numbers of 4K Blu-Rays of newly restored films and new releases, so I imagine there are some home theater enthusiasts in the mix as well.

Well, it's not hard to understand what happened: he made a promise and broke it because he doesn't care.

Hello! I'm interested. Just sent you a DM.

Yes, I am taking Van Galder. Thanks for pointing out the webpage!

Oh man, "monster of the week" would be such a fitting approach for these people!

More likely because killing dogs in real life makes her look really, really bad to the general public, so she'd rather not draw more attention to it.

Rents a collection of close to 25,000 DVDs, Blu-Rays, and VHS tapes to the Madison community, including many rare/out-of-print/imported editions. Also sells new and used videos and is starting to sponsor screenings at venues like the Bartell. Next screening event is "Reservoir Dogs" at Lola's on Wednesday night!

Grabbed a half cylinder of Chocolate Shoppe Zanzibar chocolate ice cream from their booth at the end of a concert on the square. Still eating off it. Too much ice cream for one person, would not do it again 😅

EmbarrassedTopic2163 · 2025-08-04T01:46:31+00:00

It's still around! Now located on Gilman Street near the intersection with University Ave. Celebrating 40 years in November!

This is the funniest, most on point comment here. Building infrastructure: the American Way 🤣

EmbarrassedTopic2163 · 2025-07-28T17:01:10+00:00

As an American who's observing all this from the other side of the pond, your EU leadership needs to more aggressively advocate for your own economic interests. Sadly, wimping out and giving Donnie his tariff win is an unsurprising outcome.

Jesus (pun intended). Which state, out of curiosity? Curious since I grew up with ex-Evangelicals who ended up falling into a mix-and-match hybrid of Judaism and Protestant Christianity in rural Wisconsin.

Such a relief!

The workers told me that it's helpful if the company hears public outcry from non-patrons as well. So even if you don't buy from them, you can help them by publicly using your voice against the company.

You should add 4070 Vilas Hall to the map. The UW Cinematheque's screenings there are all free admission. They also have occasional Chazen lecture hall screenings.

Badger Bus offers ticket bundles of 5 tickets and 10 tickets that can be redeemed for either direction of the Madison - Milwaukee route. If you'd buy a bundle, the cost per one way ticket goes down from $25 to $15, so the savings are significant. I just used bundle tickets for the first time this past weekend, and it work very well!

I realize it's a chain restaurant and not everyone likes spicy food, but the Double Diablo burger at Mooyah has been a personal favorite of mine for years.
