August 27th, 2007 · 4 Comments

OK, Doughboys, you really need to get your sh*t together. Doughboys on 3rd Street is closed again, this time for vermin infestation. They posted this notice saying termites are the issue, but vermin could be all types of creepy crawlers, and we could definitely not be getting the full scoop here. This, on top of […]

Saturday Billboard Wake-Up Call

July 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

Chip & Pepper University ‘T’ Sound Off

March 28th, 2007 · No Comments

This is the thing, I went to Stanford and am always psyched for a cool new T-shirt, sweatshirt, etc. That being said, is it just me, or does it seem incredibly lame to buy a university shirt, not from your alma mater, but from Chip & Pepper? Granted, I appreciate the slimmer fit and the […]
