Ever Played Klask...?

 I posed the question, a question that I have to answer...

No.

I have not played an epic magnetic battle,

Otherwise known as Klask.

I saw something about the game a year or so ago. There was a video of the Klask world championships. That's when I learned the game originated from Denmark, just like Husker Du. I like things from Denmark. Since I lack information on the game, almost everything you need to know can be found on the game's website. You can access it by clicking: HERE.

I spotted the game for sale at Smith & Edwards. I would have loved to snap it up but that price...just a bit too much. Maybe one day.

I saw the game for sale, thought it was interesting. Perhaps, if you see the game and think your family would enjoy it, you should buy it and try it. If you do, let me know what you think.

Let's Bring Back...The Fun

Tonight, after work, I sat down and checked out what was on TV. By habit, the first thing I checked was sports. Since I'm not the biggest baseball fan, and football season hasn't yet begun, there's usually not much on at this time of year.

At least not for me.

But, I thought I'd check anyway. I did see that a soccer game between a MLS team and a team from Mexico was about to begin. The pre-game show was only on a Spanish TV station. I turned it on for no other reason than to have something on.

I don't watch a lot of Spanish TV. I don't understand the language, and to be honest, some of it--their game shows for example--can get a little risqué. I guess some of their commercials can as well. But it was the commercials that caught my attention. I hit "Rewind" and videoed an example of what I'm talking about.

It's an add for Wells Fargo. A girl listening to upbeat music is dancing in the streets, making everyone who sees her happy. And I wondered, are Hispanics just happier than the rest of us? It seems life in the United States hasn't been as fun as it once was, or at least, that's the message we get from a lot of our media. We don't see ads of people dancing. Or maybe we do--my research is very limited having just thought about this tonight.

I know a lot of ads in the U.S. are funny--funny almost always works. There is, however, a difference between funny and fun. It would be nice to see ads targeting me and other Americans showing people having fun, especially for a bank. Maybe one day we'll return to having fun. I sure hope so.
