The Founding Fathers held their initial meetings in a neighborhood tavern, which explains why the Declaration of Independence's first draft had a long, rambling subsection devoted to how powdered wigs are a natural icebreaker. Revolt against the tyranny of boredom with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of food and drinks at Big Red Restaurant & Sports Bar.
Big Red Restaurant & Sports Bar slings a menu of hot sandwiches and loaded salads alongside more than 50 TVs, an outdoor patio, and two brand new sand volleyball courts. Patrons can don a bib for a game of shirts versus potato skins ($6.99), or quiet cheese cravings with a heaping order of Macho nachos ($9.99). The fresh 1-pound Big Red bacon double burger ($10.99) pairs with any free-weight set or choice of hearty sides. Entree fans can take a peek inside a Kentucky gentleman’s flask with an 8-ounce, charbroiled Whiskey River steak ($13.99), or go green with a Cajun-spiced chicken salad ($7.99). Big Red carries a vast inventory of beers, mixed drinks, and sodas to quench thirsts or splash in the face of a blind date whose mustache catches fire.
Patrons can also join Big Red Restaurant & Sports Bar on Saturday, October 1 at noon for their 20th anniversary celebration—a massive tailgate party for the Nebraska vs. Wisconsin football game. To channel the spirit of a sports-loving forest ranger, a large tent will be set up outside for viewing the game and grilling, with live pregame music from The Confidentials.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Baby Milestones
Though doctors analyze baby development through a series of tests, including measuring the softness of its hands and seeing if it can balance a cookbook on its head, observation is the best way to determine whether or not a baby is on track to becoming an adult. Here are some signs you should look for:
One Month: Acknowledges sound; becomes irritated when flashlight is shined into its mouth
Two Months: Holds up head; coos, gurgles, graugles, and moans
Three Months: Makes sound that can be mistaken for laughter but is actually the baby clearing lint out of its passageway
Four Months: Uses hands as hammers
Five Months: Able to view magic-eye images
Six Months: Stops mistaking bags of flour for parents
Seven Months: Can sense disappointment; eats solid foods as long as they have been blended into a food slurry
Eight Months: Performs somersaults but only when no one is looking; accepts own mortality
