As @SunUp pointed out upthread. Lotta ways to do dumb stuff when you’re persuaded you’re too cool for school. ---

> [@Johanna](#): > > I’ve heard tell of state fair fry booths offering deep-fried sticks of butter. It sounds gross but _usually_ what ends up happening is that the butter gets absorbed into the batter, so what you’re eating in the end isn’t a stick of butter inside a shell of batter like some kind of mutant mozzarella cheese stick, but just a really buttery sort of pastry. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5vFOKe-G9ZI/maxresdefault.jpg) ](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5vFOKe-G9ZI/maxresdefault.jpg) But there is still a _lot_ of butter, it kind of drips everywhere, so it’s still messy and fatty and you have to really like butter, but it’s not much worse than your standard carnival food. (Which is a low bar, I know.) ---

I am not immune to the powerful seduction of _mozzarella in carrozza_. It’s some deviltry that something so bad for you tastes so damn good. ---

The O.S.U. Office of Institutional Equity investigates claims of “harassment, discrimination and sexual misconduct”. Hopefully, this case amounts to nothing more than miniscule, squeaking vagaries. ---
