Monday Match Up

here we see three mugs from three baristas. some people would have you believe that you that a coffee mug reveals alot about a person... i don't think that's the case today. however, if you know which mug belongs to jerry, dave, or nate you'll get double punches toward a free drink today! oh and the answers to last tuesday's match up trivia: A2, B3, C1.

Live Plastic Dinosaurs

tuesday morning i was listening to NPR on my way to homer's. i heard a story about a new book called what the dinosaurs did last night. two kansas city parents wrote this book for their children. since 2012, refe and susan tuma have positioned their children's toy dinosaurs to appear as if they have come to life overnight.

Tuesday Match Up

yesterday we played a few monday songs @ homer's: manic monday by the bangles, monday monday by the mamas and the papas, and i don't like mondays by the boomtown rats. today we'll see if you can correctly match up the tuesday song with the recording artist.

if you match up the song with the artist correctly, you'll get double punches toward a free drink today! the mystery customer in last thursday's throwback photo: jeff todd

Seinfeld's Ferrari

jerry seinfeld picked up amy schumer in a ferrari yesterday on his web series, comedians in cars getting coffee. the sporty ride vroomed, sputtered, smoked, and eventually stopped. they walked to a nearby diner for coffee and breakfast.

Kick In The Face

late sunday afternoon jenny & i drove to gardner for the groundhouse coffee experience. she ordered an egg nog latté, and i ordered a kick in the face. every coffeehouse has a different name for this drink that combines espresso and drip coffee. this blog listed at least 10 alternate names for a shot in the dark (that's what it's called @ homer's) over the last couple of years, if you can name one of those other names you'll get double punches today! the answer to last week's trivia: joust.

More Shows About Nothing

jerry seinfeld picked up kevin hart in a 1959 porsche today to start off season five of comedians in cars getting coffee. this is only show where you can see espresso shots being packed and pulled in every episode. don't look for it on TV, comedians in cars getting coffee can be seen on its own website, youtube, or crackle.
