A Good Reason to Cheer for the Cowboys on Saturday

Dunkin’ Donuts will give away tasty treats if the Dallas Cowboys win this weekend.

The Cowboys will try to win their first playoff game in 13 years when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday at 7 p.m. in Cowboys Stadium.

Dunkin’ Donuts hopes to celebrate a victory with free donuts for fans at participating stores on Sunday.

The offer is good for one donut in any flavor per customer during store hours, which may vary by location. No purchase is necessary.

Yum.

You Enjoy the Suite Life

Looking for a surprise in town getaway (because staycation is a stupid made up craptastic word)? The Magnolia Hotel is giving you a free suite upgrade on selected nights that only cost $109. You don't have to tell the Sig-O that it's free, you can just let him or her think that how you roll. Roll on.



Arena Football is Coming Back to Dallas!

When the AFL disbanded in 2009 Dallas lost, quite possibly, its best sports team - your Dallas Desperados. If you never had a chance to make it to a game, have no fear because your chance has suddenly reappeared with the creation of Arena Football One. The season will start in April and they say tickets are already on sale, although I haven't seen the team website up yet.

And, seriously, Arena Football is awesome. It's like football, but better because it's much faster and more exciting. :30 left in the game and your team is two touchdowns down? Don't worry, they can come back and win. At least the Desperados always did. Go Desperados!

Adios La Cubanita

From the old cut-and-paste from a press release department:

"Lombardi Family Concepts has announced today that it will sell its holdings in La Cubanita restaurant on McKinney Avenue in Dallas to its partners in the operation. "La Cubanita received such good reviews and excellent feedback from the guests," says creator Alberto Lombardi, "but it wasn't able to garner the numbers necessary to make it a success. Lombardis' partners will reopen the location with a new concept." La Cubanita will close immediately."

Bummer.

How Long Can You Survive Chained to a Bunk Bed with a Velociraptor?

I can make it 1 minute at 10 seconds. Beat that. Although I wouldn't really want to try it. It's not a deal or a steal, but it's something to entertain you for 30 seconds at work: http://theoatmeal.com/quiz/velociraptor_bed

Let me know how that goes for you.
