The Stroller

Top 2 picks

On the big screen: Not that any female needs another excuse to admire Robert Pattinson, but if you’re interested in seeing him as a non-vampire, check out the March 12 release of “Remember Me.”

Sci-fi thriller remake won’t make moviegoers go ‘crazy’

"The Crazies” is a remake of a 1973 sci-fi thriller. The only difference between the movies is the setting. The ’73 version is set in Evan’s City, Penn., while the 2010 version is set in Ogden Marsh, Iowa.

Your Man has heard enough

It seemed like it would never happen, but Maryville is finally shedding its thick blanket of snow. It’s emerging from the frigid depths of winter like one of those crazy people who jump into Colden Pond for charity.

Coming to Theaters: “Alice in Wonderland” will finally be hitting the big screen after nearly a year of hype and promotion on Friday.

‘Shutter Island’ proves next great psychological thriller

In the movie world, there are two types of horror films. One are the dime a dozen slasher films that are thrown out like ticker tape.

Your man wants the right to choose

Yesterday, I saw a flier posted in a campus bathroom that read “Stay home if you are sick! Stop the spread of cold and flu germs!”

Your Man wants a principal

Some people never really grow up. I know five-year-olds who are more polite and well-behaved than many of the “adults” who attend this school.

Your man says no more flowers

 What is this world coming to? Capitalism has ruined the true meaning of Valentine’s Day. Hallmark and Russell Stovers have a monopoly over love, and exploit women’s insecurities. 

Your Man wants a building

Surely you’ve noticed the huge, abandoned building on Main Street, sitting vacant since Wal-Mart moved into their new “Supercenter” building a few years ago.

Your Man is sticking it to the man

Why did students stop protesting? Throughout this country’s history, it’s been the responsibility of the youth to take a stand against society’s ills, and to affect change whenever injustice rears its ugly head.

Your Man wants a Bearcat win

Five in a row, and back up against Grand Valley; way to go guys.  I hate to point it out but in the past we have had some trouble winning the big game.  I am sure Coach T has got some sure fire strategies, but I have some ideas of my own how we, the student body, can ensure victory. 
 

Your Man wants a real dead week

I hate to point it out but finals are right around the corner.  Let me be the first to say it:  I hate finals.  I don’t just hate the actual taking of the test, I hate the whole thing;  the studying, the stress and the time it takes away from playing “Left 4 Dead 2.”

Your Man needs a better computer

I hate computers, I really do.  They are great for screwing around and wasting time, but when it comes down to doing any actual work, the only thing you can count on them for is to mess up.  This week I am especially bitter about my computer situation after a certain hard drive mishap.
 

Your Man says feel free to light up

Let the record show that Your Man is no smoker. But one thing is for sure, if I was a smoker, I would be rather upset. This recent smoking ban proposal is just lunacy, and I’m not scared to say it. Offices; sure. Private businesses; ok, yeah makes sense.  Retail stores and recreational centers; right on. Bowling alleys; now you’ve got me asking questions. But bars? Are you joking?

Your Man loves to play dress-up

I love the evolution of Halloween. As I get older and older, it gets better.

Your Man asks what’s so great about a penny

The headline comes up every nine months or so in your money section of the newspaper, “Is there any value in the penny?” The dollar is worthless overseas, so what is 1 percent of worthless? Yet we’ve all been stuck with 80 pieces of nothing at some point.
 

Your man wants his arm back

I hate spooning. The act of spooning has no redeeming qualities for me.  Sure it’s great to go to sleep next to someone, but the consequences of the spooning act are not worth it.

Your Man could not care less about polar bears

I am 98.73 percent sure that global warming is a sham. This last weekend I froze my butt off.

Your Man says no to bumper stickers

  I was following this Ford Taurus down Fourth Street the other day that was covered in bumper stickers of bands I had never heard of.

 

 

Your Man says high school is over

Your man wants to know why freshmen aren’t out getting drunk.

Your Man says Aramark is a liar

So this week, this is who is on my naughty list:  The Northwest Missourian Opinions page, Campus Dining and Congress.

Your Man welcomes you to Northwest

Every week your student newspaper gives me space to be “That Guy”.  According to Webster’s, “That Guy” is the guy that says whatever needs to be said when it probably shouldn’t be said. I’ve been called many things, but feel free to call me “Your Man”.

Your Man hates bad roommates

Using floors as toilets and cooking while intoxicated are two completely unacceptable behaviors when you live with others.
