Packers Out of the Playoffs

The Green Bay Packers didn't have much of a chance at making the playoffs before their game this week, but they sealed their fate by losing to the Jaguars -- by only 4 points (again). They lost way too many games by 4 points or less this year.

I still think they're better than the Vikings and the Bears though.

Cable TV Reboot

Sometimes the cable TV can set itself so that it looks like you have to pay extra to watch every channel -- even the "free" ones that you're already paying for. Just reboot.

T-shirt Slogan

[For 12/12]

A T-shirt reading, "I beat anorexia" is a funny thing when worn by a fat man.

No, I didn't say that anorexia is funny. No hate comments needed, thank-you-very-much.

Barter

[For 12/11]

It pays to barter (sometimes). Prices that look hard and fast might come down more easily than you think, if only you ask.

I can't say what the item is because the goose is getting fat.

Food, Glorious Food

[For 12/10]

If you can all get a lot of easy food when playing Agricola, it makes for a tighter, higher-scoring game.

Metro Piece

[For 12/9]

We lost a tile from the game Metro. I asked the publisher about it. They agreed to send a replacement. They are located in Germany! The piece cost 4 Euros to mail. Isn't that about $8.00? Hurrah for Queen Games, Germany!

Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree has almost 600 lights adorning its branches this year. And the ornaments are themed: They all relate in some way to a (board) game.
