Daily roundup: Zambia remains a figment of the collective Northside imagination, pretension is so out and Skype defies linguistic boundaries

From today's menu:

• The Daily remains reasonable sure Evanstonians' African geographical ineptitude is as big as the Ngorogoro crater.

• Faux gras introduction is definitely detering seitan-chomping South Side masses from schlepping to Evanston for their fattened goose liver pate fix.

• Devo writer Kathrin Hanek flaunts the syntactical verve of an exchange student ("Skype is recently finding favor among Northwestern students") to better explain the keyboard dialings of hundreds of foreign students phoning home. No, Kathrin, we haven't Skyped anyone yet. After reading your article, we don't think you have either.
  
• Reader brands Daily's music coverage pretentious ("Because pretension is out, guys. It's so out.") Her reaction to GossipDesk remains eagerly awaited.

• And, finally, because color commentary grinds EIC Ryan P. Wenzel the wrong way like Whoa, drunken football fans at the Globe Café calmly chant, "get them, get them" after touchdowns. And yes, friends, café has an accent.
