- That game we play: The turnoff of texting
- Friday, July 4, 2008
- I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to dating, things guys do that instantly turn me off. At the top of my list is texting, as in doing entirely too much of it.
There was the guy I met at a wedding last year who asked for my phone number and then proceeded to text me for every conversation we had. For a month, every time he wanted to talk to me, he would text me.

- Volley’s offers more than just volleyball
- Thursday, July 3, 2008
- A crowd has gathered at Volley’s on a recent Friday evening. As teams bump, set and spike back and forth, spectators watch in the seats and bleachers lining the courts. Referee whistles can be heard over the music blaring from the bar area, where people mingle as they enjoy happy hour. Volley’s main attraction is, obviously, the volleyball games that take place almost every night of the week. But for every person there to play a game, there’s another person who has come just to watch and socialize. Lacyne Phoenix has been coming to Volleys for years just to enjoy the atmosphere.

- That game we play: The ex files
- Friday, June 27, 2008
- I have a handful of ex-boyfriends, but there is one that is The Ex. I’ll call him Jay. Jay and I broke up for the first time in college. For the year and a half we were apart, we decided we’d try to be friends.
We failed miserably. Our version of being “friends” meant talking (and drunk dialing) a lot, hanging out and watching movies in his room at the frat house — which always lead to making out — and getting incredibly jealous anytime there was even a hint that the other was seeing someone else.

- Mondays are beer pong night at First Ward House
- Thursday, June 26, 2008
- It seems that the best games are often the simplest. Tic-tac-toe, hangman, checkers, solitaire: all games that have only a few components.
At the First Ward House on Mondays, they play another simple game, only this one’s not for the kids. With only a table, some cups, ping-pong balls and a pitcher or two of beer, people can play hour upon hour, and pitcher upon pitcher, of beer pong.
- That game we play: The waiting game
- Friday, June 20, 2008
- It’s one of the oldest rituals of dating: You meet someone, you give them your phone number, and then you wait (and in some cases you wait and wait and wait).
Depending on how interested you are in the person, it can be a nerve-wracking period between the phone number exchange and the first phone call for a date. It’s even more nerve-wracking when they don’t call you right away and make you sweat.
The question is, just how long should you have to wait for a phone call?

- The Kansas City T-Bones host the third annual Redneck Weekend
- Thursday, June 19, 2008
- Come on, you can admit it: You’re a redneck, aren’t you? If not, you probably are related to one or know someone who is. Let’s be real, we’re from the Midwest, Redneck Country.
There’s no need to be ashamed of your redneck ways; they should be celebrated. That’s what the Kansas City T-Bones think, anyway. The independent minor league team is hosting its third annual Redneck Weekend this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, complete with mullets, hunting gear and keg rolling.
