back board The Department of THINGS WE GOT RIGHT By Josh Moss We're not perfect around here. Great example: In the March issue, we forgot to run half of the Top Lawyers listings. Sorry, lawyers. But hey, thanks for not suing. What we're getting at: Here are some things we've published over the frst half of 2013 that are defnitely not wrong.* Says "June 2013" on the cover. Yep. And it's "Edward Lis." Those banners of famous Louisvillians? Up next: a banner of a building with a banner. That education commissioner guy actually said "academic germicide." The April Haiku Review, which was written in March, predicted Orb's May Derby win. We threw out these possibilities, too: Brown Almighty, Shanghai Bobby, Goldencents, Itsmyluckyday, Overanalyze, Fear the Kitten, Charming Kitten and Golden Soul. We did not hit the trifecta. Damn you, Golden Soul. Buechel is pronounced "Bew-shell," not "Bew-chull." The May issue's table of contents said that a real-estate package would begin on page 34. And when you fipped to 34? Nailed it. Jennifer Lawrence cut her hair! What do you make of that?!?! The length?! Is it more attractive curly or straight? A perm! What if J-Law got a perm? Can you imagine? CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?! Dedicating 38 pages of a single issue to the West End will spark discussion. Bardstown Road has more hookah bars per capita than any other street in the galaxy. Wednesday, Jan. 2: Cards win! Monday, April 8: Cards win! Tuesday, April 9: Cards lose. *But mostly more of the things we totally make up each month to keep you on your toes. 10 8 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 6.13 According to a Feedback page we ran in January, readers adore magazine covers of children smoking toy pipes. Kentucky wine? Eh. We bugged McConnell's bedroom. Sure did. Campaign headquarters! We meant campaign headquarters! Kevin Ware on Letterman? Great. Jim James on Fallon? Even better. U of L athletic director Tom Jurich? Best. Maker's Mark wax is actually taffy. Ashley Judd is running for Senate. That wasn't a misprint: Todd Pletcher was the trainer of every single horse in this year's Derby and Oaks. Ashley Judd is not running for Senate. In the March issue, we correctly predicted the winner of every single NCAA tournament game. Fine, three-quarters. "Best of Louisville" is next month. Rigged for sure. Lynn's Paradise Cafe will win "Best Parking Lot." Teddy Bridgewater + Heisman = Tedman or Heiswater. But really: Judd is running for Senate. Ninety-three percent of Fourth Street Live patrons have a tanning-bed membership. An NBA team is coming to Louisville in the next three to 75 years or never. That team will be called the Kentucky Bourbons. It was a real pipe. With real tobacco in it. Combined, Pitino and Strong gotta be making more than the entire population of Togo. Jockey Rosie Napravnik on 60 Minutes? Good. Except for like half. That dog on page 24 of the January issue was a cutie. That dog on page 29 of the same issue? Not so much. That new pedestrian bridge over the Ohio River is wonderful. The color of the Ohio River is "sepia in motion." Stop asking: Those were Mayor Fischer's abs on the January cover. But, hey, UConn's women's hoops squad could have beaten UK this year. The UK men we mean. Our months-long investigation into our city's famous symbol revealed that the correct spelling is "Florida Lee." The author of this piece attended a musical at the Kentucky Center in January. The song "Flashdance…What a Feeling" might have been in it. Due to a technicality, Jerry Abramson is still mayor. The zoo charging for parking is "attendance genocide." Honestly, though: Ware should've sucked it up and fnished the game. President Rand Paul.
