what's going on this weekend?

I'm sure everyone's anticipating the three-day weekend right about now.

Milk Labor Day as much as you can -- there's not another holiday until Thanksgiving in November.

Anyway, it seems like things are going to be kind of quiet as far as nightlife goes. Don't forget about the Friday bar crawl downtown, though. You might be able to actually hit your favorite party spot without worrying about too many crowds.

Saturday, I'm going to be at Loco's Grill & Pub for an upcoming bar profile. If you've never been there, you should totally check it out. It's a nice atmosphere and an especially good option if you don't like military guys. I've never seen one there.

I also need to hit up Belloo's on Saturday for Little Black Dress Night. You know the drill, ladies. Wear a black dress, get in free plus a $10 gift certificate for the bar.

Finally, if you find yourself longing for a hardcore nerd fix this weekend, check out Alan's blog. He's blogging live from Dragon*Con, North America's second largest sci-fi/fantasy convention.

TGIF

Happy Friday!

If even the upcoming weekend isn't enough to curb your workplace angst, maybe you should apply for this reality show. It lets contestants beat up their co-workers. Seriously.

The best part is that the majority of you probably already know who you'd punch first.

map this

By now you've probably heard about Miss South Carolina's failed run at public speaking during the Q&A portion of the Teen USA pageant. When asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate America on a map, she responded:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us."

Amazingly, she still finished third.

Nerves or stupidity?
