For a brief moment yesterday, Mark's photo became an Internet sensation! Sweeping the nation! He even got name-checked by the New York Post (sadly, no salacious headline). Now too big for his britches, he agreed to let us re-run the shot ... for a small fee. I told him I wouldn't rat him out for buying his lunch yesterday, and we called it even.

LeBron, LeBacle, and LeReallyExpensivePlayoffTickets: Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been knocked out of the NBA playoffs, a ticket to the Eastern Conference finals will cost about $157 (resale), reports Justin. If LeBron had led the Cavs to the finals, prices would have been more than double. So, um, thanks, Celtics. And yes, the NBA playoffs are still happening.

You have to cut off the face: And other lessons in soft-shell crab killing and new fish exploration, in part two of Greg's series on a local community-supported fishery in Durham that sells "shares" of its harvest each season. The benefits? New flavors, low prices, and no guilt about overarmed supermarket-purchased fish. The downside? The whole cutting-off-the-face, scooping-out-the-goop thing. I'll never look at soft-shell crabs the same way.

No baby? Go backpacking! That's the consensus from Bundle mom Kate and Bundle dad Mark, in response to Moriah's question about the pre-pregnancy bucket list. (Not imminent - she's just wondering.) A napping baby will let you catch up on Six Feet Under, but that hostel owner in Budapest may not be too enthusiastic about your 10-pound bunkmate.

The taste of cuteness: Our lunch contest is in full-swing, and now Brandie's gone and raised the bar on presentation. Everything tastes better when it's adorable, she asserts, extolling the taste-enhancing charms of a bento box, the Japanese-style plastic ware that can makes any lunch prettier.

Thieves! Mike won't pilfer, but I do (bank pens), and so does Brandie (ketchup packets), Presh (mints), and Kate (candy, via Twitter). You can call it theft. I'll call it "free stuff."

Question of the day: Cities and states are totally broke these days. Which means they need to raise money in a hurry. So we're asking: What do you think they should tax? You know it's going to be something.
