QuickNoSpec: Pigs in the Press Edition


The start of Reading Week means the end of the Spectator. But not the end of the world! With finals looming and storm clouds brewing, what will we talk about to lift our spirits? Duh. Swine flu.

In Mexico the spread is slowing, the restaurants are reopening, and everyone’s sneezing into their sleeves.

Is the need for a UK flu leaflet campaign encouraging? No. Is the cover of the UK flu leaflet hilarious? You decide.

China doesn’t discriminate against Mexicans. It quarantines everybody.

Self-medication won’t help, unless it’s the suddenly super popular Tamiflu.

The hell with your swine flu, it’s Cinco de Mayo!


NotQuickSpec: Pre-Flight, Zero-Hour Edition

Most of the Spectator staff departed last night for Aruba having published no issue for today. So, in keeping with that spirit of travel, today’s QuickSpec prepares you for departure with news from the airport. 

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us today, particularly those of you with corporate expense accounts.

A safety card is located in the seatpocket in front of you. On it you will find evacuation instructions and a few inspirational poems from Chesley Sullenberger.

In the event of an emergency, one of our engines will drop down off the fuselage onto homes below.

Please turn off all electronics devices at this time, unless you are paying to access our private, in-flight WiFi network.

And for our travelers making connecting flights today to Atlanta, please also stow your firearms in the overhead compartment.


NotQuickSpec: Where You’ll Be Drunk Next Week!

Instead of giving you a roundup of New York news to make up for the absent Spectator, Bwog has gotten the news from Spring Break hot spots to prepare you for next week. A little pre-gaming, if you will.

Tijuana: This town is so great, you’ll get your head chopped off! Wait, what!?

South Florida: Get smashed, then praise Jesus.

Cancun: You know what, maybe you should go to South Florida, instead.

California Coast: Quick, get here before it disappears!

New Orleans: The rebuilding continues, for the service-minded among us.


QuickSpecBlogs: Midterm Edition

The Good Ship Spectator is in limited production this week, hibernating today in honor of midterm exams. Satisfy your desire for a daily dose of QuickSpec with a round up of Spec‘s ever-so scintillating splogs.

Wonder what Business School Dean R. Glenn Hubbard is up to these days?  Still think he wants to be the Fed chairman

Latino Heritage, invisible no longer.

Cooking with Spectacle, make New York’s most infamous spinach dip.

Tap into your Tuesday Trailers courtesy of Spectacle and realize begrudgingly that Jean Claude Van Damme is still acting.
