In light of MTV’s The Buried Life, the Cowgirls made a list of their own:

The Buried Life asks the question: “What do you want to do before you die?” It’s a brilliant concept for a show, and we’ve been watching it religiously. But the Cowgirls decided to write a different kind of list – asking what do we not want to do? There are the obvious answers like “drink a bottle of Windex”, but there are also the everyday activities that we in particular avoid at all costs. Here is that list:

With the Olympics in full force right now (and various Olympic gear enroute in the mail), we thought we’d take Friday down a notch with a friendly game of Texas Hold ‘Em. Trouble is, a game isn’t a fun game unless you win it. So here’s how to bluff in your next poker game:
