PIXY STIX AND WATER.
BY: MATT CARLSON
Do you remember Pixy Stix? I don’t even know if they sell them anymore, but when I was a kid it was like crack to us. I used to get a little tremor just hearing the Good Humor man’s bells jingling on a summer day. If you don’t know, Pixy Stix were thin paper tubes filled with a powder of sugar and artificial fruit flavor. Their only real failing was that the tube would clog when it got wet, an indictment of the engineering department at Pixy Stix, Inc., who somehow forgot that the whole idea of Pixy Stix was for kids to put the tubes in their mouths. Anyway, every kid who ever ate Pixy Stix, at some point got a hankering for Kool-Aid when there wasn’t any around. Faced with this dilemma, every kid gets the idea to pour Pixy Stix into a cup of water to make homemade Kool-Aid. Recently, I think Bob Bradley has been trying to make Kool-Aid out of Pixy Stix and water.

A STROKE OF GENIUS
BY: MATT CARLSON
I spent a lot of time working on an article about how to handle the USMNT midfield for the upcoming Friendlies and the Gold Cup, but circumstances forced me to change my plans. Thank you, Jonny Evans. I did not let this get me down, though, because I know the story of chemist, and fellow genius, William Perkin.
