'Tik Tok,' Russell


CFN

Gazette staff
It is hard to imagine electropop party girl Ke$ha taking time out of her busy days to tune into the NBA. This is, after all, the woman who begins the morning by brushing her teeth “with a bottle of Jack,” if her 2009 No. 1 hit “Tik Tok” is to be believed. If that is truly the start of her schedule, it might be a struggle for her to make the evening tip-off.

Card sharks


CFN

Gazette staff
We at Chicken-Fried News believe in the power of print. (We like having jobs; go figure!) So for Valentine’s Day, we’re buying our Special Someone a real-deal card. The kind that opens on the right-hand side with a modicum of energy. The kind with flowery fonts you don’t often see outside of church bulletins and/or funeral programs. The kind you have to visit a brick-and-mortar store to buy.
