Dallas' Current Score

-173

Here's the game:

We’ve given Dallas a starting point value of -124. Every week or so, we’ll try out something new and report back. If Dallas sucks even a smidge less as a result of our outing, we’ll give the Big D some points back. But if it sucks or the city does something particularly heinous, Dallas will sink further into negative territory. Can Dallas break even before we escape?

PSA: DAILY CANDY IS STUPID

Aimless and I signed up for Daily Candy Dallas to get some ideas for new things to try in Dallas (more to come - we actually tried one this week!). Daily Candy also sends out emails for the entire nation and this little gem arrived today.

That's right, they'd like you to spend $20 on socks (!!!) for your chair (!!!). From the manufacturer's website: "Trust us, you'll have a conversation starter in seconds!" I imagine the conversation going something like this:

Sane Person: What the hell is on your chairs?
Idiot: Socks! Aren't they funny?
Sane Person: Socks? Were your chairs complaining about their feet getting cold?
Idiot: Uh, no. But aren't they funny?
Sane Person: Did you make those yourself or did you actually waste money on them?
Idiot: Uh, I bought them. But aren't they funny?
Sane Person: How much did you blow on socks that you can't even wear?
Idiot: Uh, $20. But aren't they funny?
Sane Person: You wasted $20 per chair just to make your dining set look like they are relaxed enough in your home to kick off their shoes and run around in socks? Will you buy them shoes when you have company over?
Idiot: But...aren't they funny?

    Gem and I are starting a romance. Unfortunately, I bought her a little hat for the blender.
