Dating tips for Austinites and Frequent Austin Visitors
If you are serious about staying out of the tabloids:
Lance Armstrong: Stay away from twins, especially gossip bait like the Olsens.
Owen Wilson: Keep clear of celebutantes (hands off, Jessica Simpson).
Matthew McConaughey: Do not, under any circumstance, get engaged to a 24-year-old Brazilian model, no matter how tantalizing.
Do us a favor, boys.

Vegetarian chili cook-off at Austin Zoo
What’s the point of vegetarian chili? The folks at the Austin Zoo, who have been raising bucks through a veggie chili cook-off for almost two decades, know. Almost every offering in the dusty, village-like marketplace on the zoo grounds threw in a twist: unexpected ingredients, varied consistencies and a wide range on the heat index. Particularly picante was the white chili — no tomatoes or red chile powder — from Team GRITS (Girls Raised in the South), which included smoked corn, mushrooms and jalapeno that remarkably mimicked the flavor of bacon. And after the treats, off to view the lions, tigers and bears — plus less frightening species, most of them rescued and all housed in up close and personal enclosures.
“Adult chili!” they yelled, when they were not flipping their coconuts.
Sophie Caillabet, 3, of Dripping Springs, attends the zoo twice a week. No kidding.

These mad scientists obviously enjoy their brew. The one on the left kinda looks like Henry from “Ugly Betty,” a show he doesn’t watch.
