The Dallas Observer’s own Cheap Bastard, Alice Laussade, stopped by the Old Monk to talk about her upcoming Meat Fight fundraiser on the newest episode of EarBurner, and she brought plenty of salty language with her. Consider this your mature-content warning. Maybe skip this one if you’re listening with the kids.
Otherwise, on to the notes:
1. Once again, this story is the reason Troy Aikman dislikes Zac.
2. See Larry Wilmore’s visit with Ahmed Mohamed.

5. Meat Fight’s website is, unsurprisingly, meatfight.com.
6. The first copy Alice Laussade ever wrote for the Dallas Observer includes no foul language.

It can take minutes to realize that you have to push the wall—a Mensa-test experience so disconcerting that one diner wound up down the hall in a storeroom. Another made it in and then forgot to lock the door—probably not quite the see-and-be-seen experience that WD-50 is striving for.” Grub Street has a photo of what diners confronted downstairs.
9. Meat Fight’s Facebook page.
10. This one goes out to Brian Luscher:
