University Park businesses continue to rebuild and repair damages after the Goff’s fire on Aug. 12. So far, only Olivella’s has re-opened doors on Sept. 2.

University Park businesses rebuild, recover after Goff’s fire OLIVIA NGUYEN & JACQUELYN ELIAS Contributing Writers Approximately three weeks ago on Aug. 12, an accidental grease fire burned down Goff ’s Hamburgers located on Hillcrest Ave., a 65-year-old independent restaurant that was home to the SMU and University Park communities.

The fire, originating from a grease trap, led to vicious, dark clouds of smoke to fill the establishment and surrounding areas.

The blistering squeal from the restaurant’s multi-fire alarm resulted in staff members and customers evacuating the scene while Dallas Police and Dallas Fire Rescue came to safety, patrolling the area and spraying out the fire. After hours of battling smoke and flames amid traffic, the beloved restaurant reached its demise as only fragments of the building struggled to stand.

As the dust began to settle, it was clear Goff ’s Hamburgers was not the sole business affected. The strip of businesses along Hillcrest, from Pizza Hut to McCartney’s Spirit to Olivella’s and more suffered collateral damages.

University Park businesses are currently in the process of rebuilding and beginning to reopen, with Olivella’s leading the way,

re-opening doors on Sept. 2.

According to Charlie Green, owner of Olivella’s, the University Park location was open for 10 years before having to temporarily close due to minor flood damages.

“We started making plans on how to reopen as quickly as possible as soon as we saw how intense the fire was, if our building would even be left standing,” Green said.

“Luckily, we only had cosmetic work that needed to be done with the floors and ceiling, mechanical fixes with the air conditioning and replacements for our electronics.”

Olivella’s repaired all said damages within 20 days, and opened their food truck on Sept. 1 to thank SMU and University Park residents for their support, following restaurant doors opening at 6 p.m. on Sept. 2.

Olivella’s and Goff ’s Hamburgers neighbor, the Lawrence G. Newman firm, unfortunately suffered major damages.

According to owner Lawrence Newman, a few of the hoses spraying water to put out the Goff ’s fire were directly pointed in the office windows, flooding the building.

“I lost all my client files and documents that go back 10 to 20 years,” Newman said. “Fortunately, I had backed up a

majority of my electronic documents so I have the past 4-6 years [on my desktop].”

As Newman slowly rebuilds his business, he’s set up a virtual office downtown at the Crescent and a studio office at home during the interim.

He’s thankful the clients have been understanding and sympathetic, and believes

customer loyalty and community support has been great during this time.

“All my [business] neighbors have been very supportive which is much appreciated,” Newman said. “There’s nothing you can do in this situation but try to find a silver lining...so I’m trying to look for mine in all the smoke.”

Students and faculty adjust to the new layout of the new Harold Clark Simmons Hall building.

Students, faculty adjust to new layout, technology in Harold Clark Simmons Hall KLARA BRADSHAW Contributing Writer kbradshaw@smu.edu As a new semester rolls around, some students are finding themselves experiencing new classrooms in the newest building on campus.

Harold Clark Simmons Hall is the second building created for the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.

The 40-thousand-square-foot building provides offices for its faculty members while also providing students with innovative technology in state-of-theart teaching laboratories and a unique design lab that includes 3D printing and a

laminating machines.

The hall is not only offering new technology like virtual simulations and ‘real-world’ classrooms, it is also providing plenty of much needed space for both students and faculty that wasn’t available before.

Nancy Roberts, director of undergraduate programs and also professor of the masters level practicum for Teach for America, is happy to have all of the faculty under one roof after years of half of the faculty being located in the expressway tower and half in Annette Caldwell Simmons Hall.

“We love it. It’s been great, because we were really crowded over there,” Roberts said.

Reported alcohol violations rise in first week of classes compared to 2015 GEOFFREY SHORT Contributing Writer gshort@smu.edu The SMU Police Department recorded 13 consumption of alcohol by minor charges Aug. 20 to Aug. 28, according to their police records. Only four such cases were recorded during the first week of classes last year.

Students are briefed on alcohol education by the SMU Police Department which works closely with the orientation and transition office. Responsible for planning first-year student orientation programming each

summer, the orientation and transition office is aware of the annual alcohol violations each August.

“SMU PD participates in AARO, which is our first-year student orientation,” said Lindsey Koch, director of student transitions and orientation. “During one of the presentations, they discuss Texas law and how it relates to alcohol.”

Over 10 of this year’s drinking incidents have been recorded in residential commons such as Loyd, Ware and Crum Commons, according to the SMU Police website. Not all incidents ended in arrests.

Dallas coined as a “foodie” city ALLISON GLANDER Contributing Writer aglander@smu.edu Anybody considering attending SMU has heard the selling point that Dallas is a food city. Dallas takes a lot of pride in its culinary scene and is home to diverse restaurants, award-winning chefs and the newest food trends.

According to the Dallas Morning News, North Texas had 13,763 restaurants in the fall of 2015, almost two percent more than fall 2014.

Dining out is a popular pastime among Dallas residents, and the variety of restaurants in the metroplex reflects that. While Dallas is known for Tex-Mex and barbecue, it’s also home to ethnic restaurants, vegan spots and more.

It also has its fair share of quirky restaurants, where chefs prepare foods that go beyond the normal palette.

Here is a roundup of some weird foods you can try at popular places around Dallas.

Chocolate marrow cake – The Blind Butcher This American gastropub on Lower Greenville specializes in sausage and small bites. But it’s also home to some dishes not normally on the menu: pastrami egg rolls, a mug of bone broth and a Canadian dish of French fries covered in gravy.

But the quirkiest dish on the menu is the chocolate marrow cake dessert. Chef Oliver Sitrin came up with the idea in the middle of the night and made the concept a reality.

The cake is baked in a

bone split in half and served warm with ice cream on the side. Diners use a spoon to scrape the gooey chocolate cake out of the bone.

Marrow bones – Henry’s Majestic Uptown restaurant and bar Henry’s Majestic also utilizes bone marrow in a quirky item on its menu.

Here, the bone marrow is the main component of the dish.

“I consider marrow to be amazing ‘beef butter,’ perfect for spreading on crusty bread as a starter to a great meal,” chef and creator Adam Kovac saidThe bones are topped with a mix of panko breadcrumbs and oregano, which provide an earthy complement to the marrow, according to Kovac. texture To learn more, visit www. smudailycampus.com

Ke’Mon Freeman, last-minute signee, emerging fast for SMU PATRICK ENGEL Associate Sports Editor pengel@smu.edu In February, Ke’Mon Freeman was a man without a position. He had committed to SMU under the “athlete” label on the eve of National Signing Day as the 25th and final member of the Mustangs’ 2016 signing class.

SMU’s freshman class had plenty of hype long before any one of its members had played a college snap. Fans and recruiting analysts focused on Jordan Carmouche, Michael Badejo, Ken McLaurin and others, many of whom had spurned Power Five offers to play for SMU. Few fans, though, said much about Ke’Mon Freeman.

For most of the recruiting process, the former Stephen F. Austin commit without a true position was only a well-kept secret of recruits and coaches.

SMU head coach Chad Morris knew he might have found a steal in Freeman before he even signed.

“A guy that when we get him here on the Hilltop, he’s going to flourish. He’s got huge upside,” Morris said in February. “Talking to other coaches, they talked about this kid. They said, ‘Coach, you better go get this kid. He’s a game-changer.’”

After a strong fall camp in which he rose up the depth chart, Freeman has settled in as SMU’s bigger running back as a complement to smaller, faster backs Xavier Jones and Braeden West.

He rushed for 39 yards on five carries in last weekend’s 34-21 win at North Texas.

Since he arrived on campus in June, he’s drawn consistent praise from SMU coaches and players.

“He’s picked up really quick,” SMU offensive coordinator Joe Craddock said. “I think he’s going to have a great career here, once he keeps developing at the running back position or if we ask him to play more quarterback. That’s the thing you love about the kid, he’s so coachable and he’ll do whatever you tell him to do.”

Freeman played quarterback at Texarkana (Texas) Liberty-Eylau High School. SMU’s initial plan was to give him a chance at quarterback, but leave the possibility open that he could move to running back, safety or elsewhere.

SMU offered Freeman in the summer of 2015, but had higher priorities on its recruiting

Freeman was signed as a last-minute recruit.

board. He committed to SFA in January 2016.

When SMU’s final recruiting target, fourstar wide receiver Audie Omotosho, committed to UCLA the night before Signing Day, SMU offered Freeman his spot. He accepted.

As fall camp neared, SMU decided it would move Freeman to running back. Craddock was anxious about telling him about the move. He worried Freeman wouldn’t be open to it. It proved to be a baseless concern.

“Team truly comes first with him. He could have very easily come here and said, ‘No coach, I came here to play quarterback,’” Craddock said. “He could have had a bad attitude about it. Instead it was, ‘OK, sounds good coach, whatever you need me to do.’”

Coachable? Check. Versatile? Check. In ridiculous shape? Also check. Take one look at the 5-foot-11, 212-pound Freeman, and it’s hard to miss his build.

“When you touch him on the [shoulder], there’s nothing but solid rock,” Craddock said.

“I think he’s got like 4 percent body fat. It’s unbelievable.”

One big adjustment for quarterbacks moving to running backs is learning how to pass protect and pick up blitzes.

On one of Freeman’s first days of camp, he was tasked with blocking senior linebacker Jackson Mitchell on a blitz. He displayed his strength and stopped Mitchell clean in his tracks.

“Ke’Mon got him pretty good,” Craddock said. “All the coaches were like, ‘whoa, that just happened. This kid just started playing running back.’ The moment’s not too big for him. He’s just a football player. He’s a guy that just understands it.”

As Courtland Sutton jogged to celebrate with teammates after catching his third touchdown of the game, he shrugged.

He just made a onehanded catch in midair on a short fade route while a defensive back interfered with him.

No big deal, apparently.

Sutton was asked after the game if he truly made a one-handed catch. His response: “Something like that.”

Yeah, no big deal.

Following a 2015 season full of acrobatic and improbable catches, Sutton wasted no time showing off his ball skills in the 2016 opener, a 3421 win at North Texas.

Anything less would have been a surprise. His three touchdowns were an 88-yard catch-and-run, an implausible 46-yard reception on a 3rd-and-45 heave, and the 4-yard onehanded grab.

The lone nontouchdown catch? A 24-yarder on a tricky back-shoulder throw on Ben Hicks’ eighth career pass attempt.

Sutton couldn’t pick a favorite touchdown of the three.

That’s unsurprising for a player who doesn’t try to draw attention to the impressive and acrobatic

catches that look effortless when he makes them.

“Whenever I get a chance to help the team in a positive manner, that’s something that brings joy to me because I’ve been blessed to be put in this position,” Sutton said.

“My team looks to me for a spark...Seeing the joy on my teammates’ faces is awesome.”

Picking out one spark from Saturday’s win is hard.

On SMU’s fourth possession, head coach Chad Morris put Hicks at quarterback to make his college debut in a planned one-series substitution for starter Matt Davis.

After a shaky first pass intended for Sutton fell incomplete, Hicks linked up with him on 3rd-and-11 for the 88-yard score.

“The coaches always tell me, ‘be that spark,’” Sutton said. “So I go out every day and I prepare to be the best so that I can give my team the best opportunity to be successful.”

In the second quarter, SMU

faced 3rd-and-45 on UNT’s 46-yard line, a situation where a spark is the last thing on a play-caller’s mind. Even the always-upbeat Sutton didn’t think SMU would try to score on that play.

“I thought we were just going to get some of the yardage back, but then I heard what play was called and I thought, ‘OK, we have an opportunity.’”

On a rare second-quarter Hail Mary, Sutton out-jumped three defenders and hauled in Matt Davis’ pass.

The score gave SMU a 24-7 lead with two minutes to go until halftime.

“As I was running down there, I thought there was no way Matt was going to throw it,” Sutton said.

“I looked up and it’s coming, so I had to make sure I made the play.”

After Sutton caught it, he saluted, flexed and crossed his arms in celebration as teammates mobbed him.

It appeared, for a moment, that this was a big deal.

SMU scores unusual touchdown, survives injuries for win at North Texas PATRICK ENGEL Associate Sports Editor pengel@smu.edu DENTON, Texas – A 3rd-and-45 is hard to produce in a video game. Yet there was real-life SMU, facing one from the North Texas 46-yard line in the second quarter.

A play that gains 15 to 20 yards to set up a field goal try seems like the common sense call.

But Matt Davis spun away from a rusher to heave a pass to the end zone, a Hail Mary in a non-Hail Mary situation.

Improbably, it landed in the arms of Courtland Sutton, who reached over three Mean Green defensive backs to haul in the touchdown.

“There’s not many [plays] on your sheet when that happens,” SMU head coach Chad Morris said. “Throw it to your All-American is what you do.”

The unusual touchdown was one of only 13 completions for SMU quarterbacks in Saturday’s 34-21 win at North Texas. SMU used 243 firstquarter yards and two takeaways to build a 17-0 lead. Davis and running back Xavier Jones combined for 206 of SMU’s 272 rushing yards, but neither finished the game. Davis left after he was hit on a scramble in the third quarter. Jones exited after he sustained a non-contact injury on a 34-yard run that he would have otherwise taken for a touchdown.

Morris did not have any updates on Davis’ status, but said Jones sustained a cramp in his

hamstring and should be fine.

Ben Hicks replaced Davis for the rest of the game. Hicks didn’t come in cold, though: he initially entered on SMU’s fourth offensive series in a planned substitution for Davis. On his second pass, he threw an 88-yard touchdown to Sutton, the first of Sutton’s three scores.

“We don’t know the situations that will arise throughout the course of the season,” Morris said.

“We want to have a quarterback with some game experience when there’s a game on the line, not out of reach.”

After replacing Davis for good, Hicks went 4-for-7 for 57 yards. Those are the injury situations that Morris wants to be ready for by playing his backup earlier in games. He said it wouldn’t have been as easy a transition after Davis’ injury had Hicks not made the scheduled first-half appearance.

“I thought it helped him a lot,” Morris said.

“He made a back-shoulder throw that looked like a veteran throw to Courtland Sutton. Could he

have made that if it had been his first series, I don’t know. But it helped settle him down a little bit.”

Although SMU quarterbacks completed only 48 percent of their passes, they passed for 300 yards. Three plays accounted for 186 of them.

Saturday’s win snapped a couple disparaging streaks. SMU had not won a season opener since 2009, when it beat FCS Stephen F. Austin.

The victory gives the Mustangs a winning record for the first time since December 2012, when they had a 7-6 record after beating Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl. Saturday’s victory was the first time SMU has won a road season opener since 1986, when Chad Morris was a senior in high school.

“With this being one of the firsts for SMU, we’re going to celebrate this,” Morris said. “Our goal eventually is that this is the standard we set, that every game we step on the field, we expect to win. We do, but we need to gain the respect.

That’s part of our ‘take back our respect’ tour that we’re on.”

The “Willy Wonka” of stand up comedy JESSYE BULLOCK A&L Assoc. Editor jjbullock@smu.edu Known as the “Willy Wonka” of comedians, Kurt Braunohler brings his comedic genius to the Dallas stage Thursday, Sept. 15th at the Sons of Hermann Hall.

While Braunohler is no stranger to the limelight, having been featured on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Lately and is the host of his own podcast “The K Ohle” with Kurt Braunohler to name only a few, he had humble beginnings performing street comedy sketches in New York City after graduating with a degree in Philosophy from John’s Hopkins University.

His most recent stage in Dallas is set to be filmed for his one hour comedy show on Comedy Central. His extravagant set performances transcend the stage and continue into his everyday life. This man may quite possibly be the most interesting comedian in the world with titles that range from comedian to skywriter to jet skier.

Ditching the traditional post-grad job, Braunohler took to the streets of New York to share his witty and outlandish humor.

However, it was not until he hit the stage that he realized how much he enjoyed the spotlight. “I want to do this forever,” Braunohler said.

It would appear that plenty of people would agree that he does in fact belong on the stage.

According to Braunohler, that word “stage” is not limited to a physical stage, but rather the world and

environment around him.

His most impressive joke come hundreds of feet above the Los Angeles skyline. Braunohler had the joke: “How do I land?” written in the sky by a prop plane. He also likes to use his humor for good and did so by participating in a charity event that involved jet skiing from Chicago to New Orleans to raise money to send 500 goats and 1,000 chickens to families in Africa.

The entire event can be viewed on Comedy Central’s website in a web series titled “Roustabout.”

“I do a lot of big performance art,” Braunohler said. It would appear based on his past actions that this statement is an accurate description of exactly what to expect from the larger-thanlife comedian.

However, he does occasionally contain his comedy to the physical stage.

Braunohler said his main goal for his Dallas show is

“all about convincing [the audience] why they shouldn’t trust me.” So it is safe to say that one should expect “a lot of surprises” and “a little absurdity.”

The aptly named “Trust Me” tour is Braunohler’s latest venture in his comedic stylings. Having spent time exploring all the facets of comedy available to him, Wonka himself is excited for his stop in Dallas. When asked what separates the upcoming show from others, he simply and humbly answers, “I’ll be at this show, so that’s amazing.”

All in all, any audience member should be prepared to witness a real-life brainteaser presented by the game maker himself, Kurt Braunohler.

If you find yourself unable to make it to Braunohler’s live performance, Comedy Central will be airing the special on their channel, but who knows if it will be the same.

Bay Area rapper “Watsky” talks his music, poetry RILEY COVEN Arts and Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Watsky, a young hip-hop artist from San Francisco just released his latest album “x Infinity.”

This marks his fifth studio album since his debut in 2007. With a background in slam poetry, Watsky brings a unique style to the microphone when he gets in the booth.

The rapper is coming into his own as an artist, and SMU Campus Weekly was lucky enough to chat with him about his music and more.

SMUCW: What made you want to follow music as a profession?

Watsky: I’ve always wanted to be an artist. I’ve loved to make things my entire life, and I started dreaming of a career in music when I was 14 or 15, and I started going to concerts religiously.

My passion started with the love of the live show, seeing an artist up on stage and pouring their heart and soul into a microphone.

SMUCW: How did you get your start professionally?

Watsky: My first ‘break’ was a slot on a late-night poetry show on HBO called ‘Russell Simmons’ Def

Poetry’ back in 2007.

I’d been doing spoken word all through high school, performing at open mics and entering competitions.

But after that appearance I started getting little paid gigs here and there and after that spent four or five years touring heavily doing little coffee house appearances at colleges.

SMUCW: Do you think growing up in a place like the Bay Area, where hip hop is so prominent, influenced your sound at all?

Watsky: I think if anything growing up in the Bay Area has influenced my politics and worldview.

It’s such a diverse place, and my generation was basically the kids of the grown-up hippies who moved to San Francisco in the late 60s. So we grew up going to rallies and protests and being asked to think about identity politics starting in elementary school.

That emphasis on selfexploration and identity is also the heartbeat of the spoken word world, and for sure plays a big part in my music.

SMUCW: You’re about to kick off a huge tour.

Is there anywhere you’re looking forward to?

Watsky: Man. Boston, ‘cause I went to school there. San Francisco and LA, because that’s my forever hometown and my new hometown. Oslo, because we’ve never played Norway. And Lawrence, Kansas, because for some reason Lawrence is always insane.

SMUCW: Having released numerous albums and mixtapes in your career, do you think your style has changed or evolved?

Watsky: I think my perspective on life has gotten more nuanced. I wrote a lot of ‘work hard and follow your dreams’ anthems a few years ago.

I wrote them because I believed it, and to some extent I still do, but my life is no longer focused purely on career aspirations. My goals involve trying to live a balanced life, and that’s reflected in the new music.

SMUCW: Are there any artists you would call inspirations?

Watsky: My biggest

Rapper Watsky hails from the San Francisco Bay Area.

artistic inspirations are people who haven’t been afraid to experiment and try different things.

People like Andre 3000 and Donald Glover. I was just thinking about this St. Louis Cardinals player named Rick Ankiel the other day. He was a rookie pitching phenom, but suddenly he lost his ability to throw strikes.

He converted himself to outfield, and after three years in the minor leagues learning a new position, he made it back to the majors as a position player, hit three home runs in his first two games back in the big leagues, and spent five more years in the majors as a center fielder. He had success, but wasn’t too proud to go back to the drawing board.

SMUCW: Do you have a favorite song of yours?

Watsky: I’m proud of ‘Lovely Things Suite’ on my new album. It’s a collection

of four through-composed songs tied together by narrative and musical themes and one of the more ‘high concept’ pieces I’ve done.

SMUCW: How would you say your poetry has helped your musical career?

Watsky: Poetry has helped me write clearly and cut to the heart of what I mean. Also to respect every word choice and the effect it has on the work.

I try really hard to make sure every word I choose in my writing is the best possible word for that intention.

SMUCW: Do you have any tips for aspiring artists?

Watsky: Follow your passion relentlessly. Picture the life you would like to lead and take a step toward it every day.

There is luck and good fortune involved, but you have to put yourself in the position to walk through a door if one opens.

With November coming quickly upon us, it is time to start thinking in earnest of whom to vote for in November.

And if we are all being completely honest, this campaign season seems like choosing between the lesser of two evils. Many people have made their decision on who is the lesser evil, but far more remain undecided.

Here are some ways that are common for choosing a candidate and how one might decide to navigate this particularly abysmal election season.

Policy and Issue Voting Does one issue dominate your agenda? On many issues, be it the debate over abortion or education or immigration, people have things which they are not willing to compromise.

Those people have a fairly simple choice; they can figure out which candidate backs their single issue and vote accordingly.

But this is difficult for two reasons: 1) both of these

STAFF COLUMN

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

candidates change policy and stance often enough that it is difficult to tell what they will actually do once they get into office and 2) most people aren’t dominated by a single issue in this way, making this a bad decisionmaking method for most.

Party Voting Many people have an idea of their party allegiance, whether from past voting or philosophy of what government should be, and they are going to stick by that party and its candidates no matter what. Many people vote like this, but this is something that is getting overturned in this election, especially with things such as the #nevertrump movement.

Moralistic Voting With this election, many people are making appeals

to religion or morals to get people to vote for or against a particular candidate. I have seen lots of Facebook posts about why Christians should not vote for Trump or something of the like.

Character Voting Possibly the most popular among “laypeople” and those who are not political enthusiasts, one can vote based on which candidate appears to have the best character or that one “feels” will be the best for the country. It seems as if this is the X factor that many people vote on, the X factor being their subjective feelings toward a candidate. While this is not an illegitimate means of voting, it may be skewed by media coverage, biased access to information about candidates, and the like and may not be the most reliable way of choosing a candidate.

How to choose in this election?

Essentially, each of these ways has its flaws. This is an election which seems to

confound and stand out from most others.

How to pick a candidate in this election? Maybe it will be best to choose some “unforgivable sins” and then see which candidate has broken them. Can’t stand corruption? Don’t vote for Hillary. Can’t stand someone who is bigoted or intolerant?

Don’t vote for Donald Trump then. Something along those lines.

Because I feel as if for this election season that there won’t be many people choosing their candidates for the good that they will bring, rather than perceiving their choice being the lesser of two evils.

While political experts may be able to make more sense of it, this seems to be to be the best way to boil such a complex and disheartening election into a decision point that one can act on – who has done the actions which you perceive as being unforgivable – because both candidates have unforgivable mistakes.

Cartoon of the week: how to question authority

GABRIELLA BRADLEY Fashion Editor gjbradley@smu.edu You’ve heard it a million times: “You can’t wear white after Labor Day.” Although this past weekend marks the seasonal transition, don’t pack up your favorite pearly white pieces so fast because this is one rule of fashion that can be broken and maybe even thrown out forever.

In the early 1900s the summer season was bracketed by Memorial Day and Labor Day, a season which saw society trading their city residences for those by the seaside, tucked in the mountains or, in the case of

Gatsby, West Egg. When they left their homes behind for the season they also left their city wardrobes of dark suits and formal attire, perfect for masking the soot and dirt of the city centers.

Summer for them meant finally breaking out their lighter and whiter summer ensembles.

Today, with modern technology and dry cleaning as it is, we have the luxury of wearing white garments all year round. While only recently this superstition has been challenged by fashion bloggers and personalities, it is still going strong this season.

A pair of white jeans

can elevate any chunky knit sweater and can be perfectly paired with pointed flats or over-the-knee boots. White sweaters are another staple to keep in your closet.

Here in Dallas, where winter never comes in fullforce, we have the luxury of wearing sweaters and vests instead of parkas and fur coats. Pair a soft white sweater with a skirt and ankle boots or your favorite pair of jeans.

Regardless of how you like to wear your favorite white pieces, don’t stash them away just yet as we move into fall.

Trust me, you won’t regret kicking the known faux pas to the curb.
