A Toast to the State of the Union

Wondering how to make watching the state of the union address fun? How about making it a drinking game? That's right, every time you hear something along the lines of "hopey, hopey, change, change," you can take a drink. If you're wanting something more sophisticated, check out the drinking game these guys made up: http://www.drinkinggame.us

They may have too much time on their hands, but it certainly could make it a more interesting party. Next up, drinking game for the Republican gubernatorial debate in Texas. Shot every time Medina talks about guns or just generally does ridiculous banter. Shot every time Kay looks like stone or waffles on abortion. Shot every time Rick makes some stupid reference to him as being Texas and to Texas being so great that we should be subjected to another term of him. Good luck making it past the first 10 minutes without losing consciousness.

It's Time for a Woot Off

In case you haven't discovered the good time known as http://www.woot.com/, today is your lucky day. Not only is the super cool site the home of one amazing deal a day, but today is their Woot Off! Day. Here's the deal, straight from the source:

In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)

Check it out ASAP at www.WOOT.COM

They also have a cool wine site and kid site.

Adios Sala

Here's one more for the "Another One Bites the Dust" File. Sala, the Tex-Mex eatery founded by chef Doug Brown in his former Amuse space at 1326 S. Lamar closed on New Years Eve.

Word on the street is that a neighborhood bar called Stop-Play-Rewind that was slated for Victory Park iss now moving to South Side where two-time Superbowl winner and Oak Cliff native Brian Williams will debut the concept under a new name.
