Sesame Street Live Thru The Eyes Of A Child

Reesha — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 05:22:03 +0000

Yesterday, I took my 2 year old to see Sesame Street Live. It wasn't her first concert, mind you. Her very first concert was some show I saw at The Seasons Performance Hall, when she was just a wee little thing growing inside my uterus (lol, sorry to gross you out). She began thumping her little fe

The New K-Mart Commercial Is Not Offensive To Me

Reesha — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:07:05 +0000

I got a shout out earlier today from K-Mart (on my Twitter)!!

The religious-based boycott group, One Million Moms, declared Kmart's latest commercial to be unsound and unfit for television. I understand that as a parent, you want to shield your kids from unwholesome and/

John Riggs — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:23:30 +0000

Comedian and actor, Patton Oswalt, has a great way of looking at things. He posted this today on his Facebook page. Go ahead and read this and see if you agree. Warning: Explicit Language It reads: Boston. F(ing) horrible. I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, “Well, I’ve had it with humanity.” But [...]

The Fisher-Price Activity Center Was Our iPad

John Riggs — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:22:19 +0000

I found one of these bad boys at an estate sale and knew I had to get it. This was my iPad when I was a baby. You can spin the dial for a while. When you bore yourself of that, push the button to make the bell ring. It was full of sounds and [...]

Double Stuf Not Enough? Try Mega Stuf Oreos

John Riggs — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:40:21 +0000

As a fan snack foods, I feel obligated to try them all at least once. Oreo, within the past few years, have certainly branched out with different ideas and flavors of their popular cookie. Yesterday was the first time I was surprised with their new Mega Stuf Oreo. But, is it worth it? You know [...]

John Riggs — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:43:54 +0000

Usually, the last thing I’d ever order at a restaurant is a non-beef burger. I’m a dude, I want meat! When I heard about a Jalapeno Turkey Burger at Carl’s Jr. with pepper jack cheese, I had to check it out. Was it good? Oh yeah! And not just good, but really good. Let me [...]

'Storage Wars' Show Apparently Not 'Reality' TV

Rik Mikals — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 23:08:14 +0000

I’m a huge fan of Storage Wars on A&E and now one of the stars has filed a lawsuit claiming that storage units are “salted”. Dave Hester, the so-described “Mogul” has been with the series for 3 seasons. He was asked to come do a 4th season of the hit series but complained that the [...]

Will Disney Buy Hostess?

John Riggs — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:03:37 +0000

Since the news of Hostess going bankrupt is shattering snack fiends around the country, it brought up this thought. Hostess is going bankrupt, but the products probably won't go anywhere since the brands are so strong. More than likely, they'll auction them off to another company. But who will step up to buy them?

Breyers Is No Longer 'Ice Cream' as Cost Cutting Measures Cheapen Their Product to 'Frozen Dairy Dessert'

John Riggs — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:22:59 +0000

To save the boring details up front, next time you’re looking for ice cream and you see some awesome, fun flavors of Breyers that are on sale, know what you’re getting. Breyers have cheapened their ingredients so much that they are no longer allowed to call their product ‘ice cream’. There was a commercial about [...]

Breaking Ice as a Kid [POLL]

John Riggs — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:43:03 +0000

Not that I’m looking forward to colder weather, but this is one thing I am looking forward to – breaking these little iced over pools of waters. I’m not sure what’s so satisfying about destroying these. I think it’s the same satisfaction as popping bubble wrap. You can an affirmative sound and destroy something at [...]

Head's Up Seven-Up Was Played to See Who Cheated in Class [CONSPIRACY]

John Riggs — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 22:53:35 +0000

I got it! The teachers used to have the kids play my favorite grade school game, ‘Heads Up Seven Up’, to see who the cheaters were. Right? Well, according to my friend, Ali, a teacher in the Sunnyside school district, she denies it. But, still, you have to figure that with all of that cheating [...]

John Riggs — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 03:55:53 +0000

Monday night, Jack-son’s Sports Bar had chicken and waffles on the menu for that night only. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to actually have chicken and waffles – something I’ve heard about for so long but never had in a true setting. How were they? I’ll tell you.

Taylor Swift, 'State of Grace' – Song Review

Jessica Sager — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 03:46:34 +0000

Taylor Swift released ‘State of Grace,’ the fifth single from ‘Red.’ Has it really been that many already?! In any case, the quality matches the quantity: ‘State of Grace’ may well be a perfect pop song. When Swift previewed the track on ‘Good Morning America,’ she described it as “about when you first fall in [...]
