Miniature Golf and Beer?

Beer and golf seem to go hand in hand. They bring the chart with the beverage girl around while you are on the golf course. After you are done on the golf course, you can go to the 19th hole and drink beer. For me to sit down and watch golf on TV, I would need beer. But the combination that you never think of is miniature golf and beer. Well Widmer changes all of that. Check out their site where you can play online miniature golf but yet it still involves beer.

How DO you sue a deity????

Prisoner Sues God - UM... How does that work exactly? And who gonna pay if he wins? Talk about retribution!

King Kong in 3D??? - You may have guessed from my previous post about King Kong that I am Siked about his movie. This is an interesting article on the possibility of also having a "good" 3-D version of the movie. One that doesn't use those awful red/blue glasses we had as kids.

18 year old mayor. -- It is really fun to see someone so young get involved. I also like that he's running the city/town out of his bedroom.

Google Risk - My wife and I used to be BIG Risk players. This is an interesting use of Google Maps and the Game Strategy.

Rubic's Cube World Championships -- I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but when I was in Jr. High, I could solve a random 3x3x3 Rubic's Cube in just 2-3 minutes! Not anymore unfortunately. Sorta like Pac-Man, I forgot the patterns.

Simpson Downloads. - For those of you that are fans of the show, a lot of great downloads including most of the Songs in MP3 format and wallpapers for your desktop.

Enjoy!

Fun and Games today... but Beware!

Blue Ball Machine -- Interesting visual... Think Rube Goldberg meets Marbles...

Then comes the enevitable tragedy from the Blue Ball Machine room. -- Very funny! Especially the "life flashes before his eyes" bit.

Books your kids shouldn't read -- Warning! This is not even remotely for anyone who is easily offended. I did LMAO though and had a co-worker looking over the cube wall to find out why I was almost crying.

These come from this site... you're the main now dog! Just be aware that not all of the links are kid friendly.

Interesting chain reaction game. I scored 1772 on my 6th turn. 1546 on my 15th turn. -- I love watching the patterns once this thing get going. Must be the math person in me.

Enjoy!

E-mail time capsule - Yahoo! and Forbes let you send yourself (or someone else) an email in the future.

Online classic arcade games - And finally a little playtime fun. Lots of classic games those of us who grew up in the '80s remember. Too bad there's not an online version of Gauntlet.

Have fun.....
