Yesterday, we got in a massive shipment of the Baja Bob drink mixes. We now have every variety on hand. (We got in lots of the Original flavor.) We tried a different type of trivia last night at Buffalo Wild Wings in Plano. The trivia, run by National Trivia Network , is called Buzztime. Each of us competed as individuals with an electronic device that records the answers that are imputed and instantly shows the results on the screen. It's fun to see your name pop up on the screens when you're winning. The nice thing about the trivia is that, while you are competing against everyone else at the location, the location as a whole is competing against the other locations that are participating. T...

Bad Trivia Master

Come into the store today and place an order to be shipped, and we will lower the shipping rate to $6.99 for each boxes. (Don't worry, we have large boxes). The white elephant party proved to be successful this weekend. Though we had to resort to a little spousal trickery, we ended up getting two good gifts. Thanks to Erica, I was able to acquire a new beard trimmer which will come in handy. I'm starting to like the party after Christmas. Unfortunately, the trip to Trinity Hall was not a successful trivia outing. While we didn't come in last, we weren't anywhere near the top. I'm still convinced that there are some cheaters in the hall. For the record, last night one of the questions was impossible to answer correctly. Original question: This 1982 inductee to the MLB Hall of Fame w...

All cones are $1.85 all day long (regularly $2.77). Also, our Pumpkin Pies are $9.99 for today and tomorrow! Come in and get a steal. Last night, two of my friends hosted a game night at there house. One of the things that I like about playing games at their house is that they almost always have new games of which I have not heard. The game of the night was Loot . This piratical game is a fun and easy game to pick up. Great for kids or kids at heart, you play to capture merchant ships on the high seas. If you're looking for a game for your kids that you might like playing with them, I recommend picking this one up and putting it in the stocking. Periodically, it strikes me that I am getting older even though I try to fight it. Last...

Risky Business

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Roasted Almond, Butter Pecan, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Raspberry Cheesecake. Today, you can ship to any of the lower 48 states (UPS ground only) for $6.99. Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you for the lower rate. We didn't have a winner this weekend, so the winning number today is worth 18 dollars. Remember that we only have 3 days left of the 100 Days of Blogger . I got to play Risk last night. This is one of my favorite games of all time, but I haven't gotten a chance to play it in at least 2 years. We played two console versions and three games on the board. I love getting to play it on the board. There is just something about feeling in control when you actually get to roll the dice. Thankfully, I was able to unleash the Australian hoards a few times. In addition to Risk, I also got to go the the first FC Dallas playoff game with my wife. We had a great time cheering on the Hoops. I ...

It turned out to be a very busy weekend for me and my wife. We went out for a date night on Saturday downtown. After we got back, I went out with a couple of my friends to see the Buffy musical episode at the Inwood Theater. After getting some much needed rest on Sunday, my wife and I went to Trinity Hall with our friends to once again try our hand at trivia night. Over the course of a grueling three hours, our team managed s...

Free Stuff

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Maple Nut, Marshmallow (changing to Strawberry Shortcake by 4 PM today) and White Chocolate Raspberry. Tonight, our yogurt is buy one, get one free (limit one, no XL) from 6 PM to 8 PM. Bonus: If you live in the RISD area, you can pick up the Saturday edition of the Dallas Morning News and get a coupon for a free small yogurt in the Neighbors section of the paper. Everyday when I open up the USA Today or Turn on the news channels, it seems that the race for the White House is already in full swing. At least, that's how it appears when the coverage is not focused on Paris Hilton. The coverage seems to come earlier and earlier every time an election comes around. Thankfully, the entertainment value of the elections is also increasing. This year there are two new political games that are free to download. The first is Presidential Pong . This is "a game of Pong using caricatures of prominent 2008 presidential candi...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Coffee Royal, Blueberry Cheesecake and Banana. Today, we have our yogurt special from 6 PM to 8 PM. The yogurt is buy one, get one free (excludes XL, limit one). Last night my wife and I brought out the old Super Nintendo and played Super Mario Brothers for about an hour. It seems that we both came in with the idea that this would be an easy game to just run through; however, when you don't play a game for 5 to 7 years, it is not as easy as you remember it. It seems that there is a bit of a learning curve to the game after all. Nevertheless, we stumbled through the first few levels and got into a little bit of a grove. It was kind of fun to go back in time. It's hard to believe that this game is 17 years old. Back in the day, I remember it had top-notch graphics. It no longer does, but the game design still makes it fresh today. Saturday Distraction: What Is Your Star Wars Name and Title ? Your Star Wars N...

Stuffed Like a Turkey

I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving day. I know that I did because I got to spend it with my girlfriends family and share a wonderful meal with them. I got to cook a little and lounge a little and watch a little bit of football. It was great being able to spend the special day of thanks with a family that I know loves each other dearly. We played Trivial Pursuit (90's edition) during the evening. This version seems to have a lot of focus on pop culture. :( My girlfriend and her grandfather won. Congratulations. I take my games seriously, but I have fun playing them and it was nice to play through a game. The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Cappuccino, Pumpkin and Egg Nog. Friday Fun Fact: The Mason jar was invented by John L. Mason in 1858. Mason was a tinsmith and came up with the idea of screwed threads for the lid on glass jars that allowed them to be reclosable and reusable. The Mason jar immediately changed lifestyles and diets.

Second Place Is Not That Bad

Image
This weekend my friends and I participated in another trivia game. This one was at Trinity Hall. They had been there several times before and thought that the trivia was a little more knowledge based rather than pop culture. They were right. If only we had brushed up on our Greek mythology we would have had first place. We finished second, one point behind the winners. While it is hard for me to say, sometimes second place is all right. Coming fresh off our placing at the Trinity Hall trivia challenge, we boldly return to the Flying Saucer tonight to be knocked right back down. Least pride set in among us as I'm sure it will once again prove to be a humbling experience. But with the 10 dollar gift certificate in hand from our previous beating, it should make the evening a little better. Bring it on pop culture. The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper, Juicy Raspberry and New York Cheesecake. Today is Shake Day all shakes are $3.69 (re...

Worst Winners Ever!

Image
For the second week in a row, we had a small group at trivia night. Our limited brain power in regards to pop culture once again secured us a firm position at the bottom of the power rankings. It was a painful evening where even the waitresses took mercy on us in the final round and helped us with a few answers. Here is the best part-We won a 10 dollar gift certificate again! Apparently, the moderator enjoys watching us suffer for four straight rounds. This time he did say that we were horrible. I mentioned the weather last week and I am so glad that I can mention it again this week. The weather last night was perfect and it looks like it is going to be great for September standards all week long. The cool breeze in the air last night made me excited for the up coming fall season. The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Peanut Butter, White Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla Malt. Tonight, we have our Yogurt Special buy one, get one free special (li...
