After a tame office coup, we are not scheduled for work today, so...

Never say that Cheap Eats don't exist around here anymore. On our way to the CSU-Kent game last night, we headed over to Lincoln Park Pub for what may be one of the longest-running Taco Tuesdays in the area.

On Tuesdays, you get beef or bean tacos for $1.25 and the combo ones for $2.00. Toss in Mexican beers (They have Bohemia!) for $2.25 and you have yourself quite the frugal, but tasty dinner. Plus, when it's cold, the fireplace is on. The place still holds up well.

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas...

Terrible band merchandise. The Kiss Kasket may take the cake.

The most Underrated Christmas specials. This includes the classic ending of the U.K. version of "The Office" and Johnny Cash, believe it or not. And the Mr. Magoo cartoon that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

Hurry, the last of the VHS tapes are dwindling. I still have some old ones laying around, including the Jets-Browns playoff game from long ago.

Hotels to stay in before you die. There are some awesome sites listed.

Twitter just can't stay out of the news. Like GPS, I'm having a hard time grasping why I need this.

Is Barenjager new?

Here are all of the upcoming Christmas marathons for your viewing pleasure.

My brother and I attended last night's CSU-Kent game, where a season-high 4052 (er...uh...mostly Kent crowd) showed up. One of the best games CSU has played in the Gary Waters era. This one was done early and the lead extended to as many as 28 points in the second half. My personal whipping boy, George Tandy, played the game of his life. Big-time dunk, 7 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks. He was so unconscious, he even delivered a no-look pass in the second half. The fatal flaw for CSU right now is foul shooting. 53.8% for the game. Ouch.

CSU wins, 67-41 to give everyone a Christmas present.

Then we were sent off into an ice storm. Folks, never where tennis shoes with a threat of ice. You fall down and go boom. I'm amazed this one poor guy who we saw didn't break anything.
