NOT A LOT of people have heard of a baseball player named Charlie "Chuckles" Nagy. He was a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians in the 1990s, and despite having a productive career he is probably best known for giving up the winning run in extra innings of Game 7 of the 1997 World Series, which resulted in the Florida Marlins becoming champions. I was in second grade at the time and was forced to endure this conflagration.

AS YOU wade through the jumbled catalogue of '80s sitcoms and straight-to-DVD sci-fi movies that is the Netflix "instant play" list, you might come across a gem or two.
IF YOU were born anywhere between the mid-1980s and the early 2000s, then you are officially a member of Generation Y or, as they are commonly called, the "millennials." Individuals from Generation Y spent most of their formative years in the 1990s, which means that if you are reading this article then you are most likely a member of this group. As a member, you are probably now silently waxing philosophic about which Nicktoon was superior and which grunge band was the best.
The political character of college campuses is the subject of much debate among pundits and the like.
EVERYONE loves local news stations. Maybe part of that is from the culture of "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," but who doesn't love the fun banter and painfully forced earnestness of reporting on fluff pieces as if they were apocalyptic calamities?
