Let’s play a game: “Race Horse or Song Title”?

It’s a fun game to play during TRIPLE CROWN season, where gamblers everywhere turn to the KENTUCKY DERBY, PREAKNESS, and BELMONT to crown the fastest horse in the land.

But while we all chuckle over the wacky names that horses are given, one does have to wonder where those names come from, right?

Top 100 Most Popular Drinking Games, and 5 Drinking Game Types


By web gangsta | Published:

Back in the day (and it’s always “back in the day” with these types of stories, isn’t it?), Web Watch would be known to partake in a drinking game or two amongst friends.

Why?  Mainly because the games themselves were kinda fun.  A bit stupid, perhaps, but always a fun challenge.  Drinking was merely secondary to the activity, as one never needs a “game” of any sort to take a drink whenever one would like.

The key, of course, is to know when to say when and back out of the activity.  Drinking too much because of some stupid game rule is never a good idea for anyone.

How to collect every baseball card ever made


By web gangsta | Published:

Everyone has a collection of some sort.

Some people collect spoons, some people collect Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts from cities they’ve been.  Some people do the Disney or Olympic pin trading thing, while others focus on specific types of artwork, or books.

Sure, it could lead to hoarding — but if your friends go out of their way to get you an item “because you have so many other things just like it”, then you just may already have a collection of sorts.  And maybe it’s time to get some new friends.

And while you can take the time to study your challenge bracket of 64 teams, you know that the best way to fill out your bracket is not from the outside in, but from the inside out.

Which squares are most valuable when playing football pool squares?


By web gangsta | Published:

It’s well known that the NFL and the NCAA both frown upon the large amount of office pool sports betting that goes on during their major events: the Super Bowl and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament aka March Madness.

Add to the mix that the high stakes, unregulated dollars are being done mostly in an illegal fashion (that is, sports betting run by individuals may be illegal where you live), you can see why those organizations and local governments may be a bit concerned about the situation.

The Gayest Cities in America


By web gangsta | Published:

Web Watch knows a few people who have moved around the country for their relationships (or lack thereof in their former location).

We understand how important it can be to feel included in one’s neighborhood (whether that neighborhood is as small as a few city blocks, a suburban subdivision, or a larger metropolitan area).  If you’re comfortable with WHO you are, but not comfortable WHERE you are, then chances are it’s not you that’s the problem, it’s those who are around you that are.

What’s your roller derby name?


By web gangsta | Published:

We won’t lie.  Web Watch loves us some roller derby.

The matches are wildly entertaining, it’s a relatively inexpensive evening out, and you’ll be laughing and cheering for your favorites all night long.  We can’t recommend attending a local match in your area highly enough.

But there is one thing that’s always nagging us:

What cities qualify to host the Super Bowl?


By web gangsta | Published:

Have you ever been to the Super Bowl?

The answer is probably going to be “likely not”, due to a number of reasons – not the least of which is how much money it can cost to purchase a single Super Bowl game ticket.

Ten Snowshoeing Tips


By web gangsta | Published:

Growing up, Web Watch spent winters traversing across the countryside on cross-country skis (okay, it was mainly snow-covered golf courses, but to us it was the wild wilderness) .

There’s a reason why the NordicTrak is considered good exercise — cross-country skiing is hard work, and takes a ton of effort and coordination to do it right.  Especially when you’re 6-years-old in a Michelin-man sized snowsuit.

We fell down a lot, but we had fun.
