Smackdown Saturday!

It's like professional wrestling for major retail chains...

Smackdown Saturday is easy to understand...for most people. I am going to compare two very similar businesses. How similar you ask? Yankees and Patriots similar. Richard Pyror and Mitch Hedberg similar. See what I'm saying? Well, like I said "most people". Like all of the weeklies there are some simple rules. One, I have to have been to both places at least three times and sampled a variety of their products. Secondly, I will tell you some strong and weak points of each. Last but not least, they have to be almost lawsuit worthy similar. I'll let you know which one is worth your time and New Adult budget. Want to hear my qualifications? Well, I can cook, eat, and go places. Also I am a jackass which is basically like having a PhD. in everything. Some of the chains won't be everywhere, so I will make liberal comparisons with national brands.

This week on Smackdown Saturday:

Find Fun Friday!

Welcome to the very first ever in the history of time, blogs, and even the Internet, Find Fun Friday on The New Adult Life! It's also the first time I'll be adding the pick of the day to a weekly! That means a good book, album, or other piece of crap dubbed by yours truly to have some value. I don't put anything up I haven't read, and I promise they're good. Book reviews will still be a weekly!

Here's the break down for a Find Fun Friday! I go on a little adventure and share it with you. I have a couple of rules. It has to have good dollar to time value. That is I won't do anything that cost more per hour than an entry level hourly job pays. So if you make $6.00 and hour then the activity should cost $6.00 or less per hour. It's a good practice. That way work equals fun. I have a little liberty with what that is since I make $12.00 an hour, but I live in a major metro and understand a lot of you are at $7.25 until your ship comes in. Keeping that resume up to date? Good. Secondly, it all has to be for folks our age. Maybe not just our age, but I am not going to send you to Chuck E. Cheese's. Even though I do love tokens. Mmm...Tokens.
