Print1. Nutella: I can justify eating it by putting it on healthy things like whole wheat bread or fruit, so I eat it all day long.
-Catherine Rice, dance editor
2. Football: Congratulations to the Lions on their big win over Princeton!
-Sophie Meislin, View from Here editor
3. “Hark! A Vagrant”: Kate Beaton’s online comic is a hilarious, often accurate portrait of historical greats doing really silly things.

4. Ammon Shea: Any person who reads all 21,830 pages of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is God. And only God can get away with writing a book about telephone books.
-Yin Yin Lu, books editor
5. The Twelves: This Rio de Janeiro duo has the Midas touch when it comes to making great songs even better. My favorite, at the moment, is their remix of Black Kids’ “Hurricane Jane.”
–Helen Werbe, style editor
6. My Sandy the Seagull bobblehead: Sandy is the Brooklyn Cyclones’ mascot. I went to a Cyclones game this summer and got an unpainted Sandy bobblehead. My little cousin painted it for me. It sits on my bookshelf and is awesome

8. Wafels and Dinges truck: I went there for the first time Monday and had a waffle with chocolate syrup, graham cracker, caramel, and gingerbread, and it was transcendent. I always thought I was a crêpe person when it came to ironic European street food, but this had me seriously rethinking.
-Joe Daly, TV editor
9. Lerner hot dog machine: I don’t plan on eating it, but just knowing it’s there gives me a good laugh.
-Peter Labuza, film editor
10. Big Hair: Maybe it’s my impending debutante presentation, or my Texas roots, but I’m currently of the opinion that bigger is better when it comes to your coiffure. In my quest for a bangin’ bouffant, I have acquired beauty pageant-style velcro rollers, four different types of hairspray, a full-size hot roller set, a curling iron, and, most importantly, a teaser comb. My mother would be proud.
