Those who have enjoyed Achilles’ moves in Troy will love this one. A note of warning though: there’s a lot of blood and decapitation, so this is not for the faint-hearted.

I love this one! Shift is a Dave kinda game, but with a twist … go check it out! Here’s the link.

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He’s got two large bags over his shoulders.

The guard stops him and says, “What’s in the bags?”
“Sand,” answered Juan. The guard says, “We’ll see about that. Get off the bike.” The guard takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand.

He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man’s shoulders, and lets him cross the border. A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, “What have you got?” “Sand,” says Juan. The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events is repeated every week for three years. Finally, Juan doesn’t show up one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico.

“Hey, buddy,” says the guard, “I know you are smuggling something. It’s driving me crazy. It’s all I think about….. I can’t sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?”

Juan sips his beer and says, “Bicycles.”

Tripeaks Bahamas Solitaire offers an interesting twist to the hugely popular solitaire game people have grown to love over the years.

The rules are simple:

• The goal is to bring all the cards from the playing field at the top to the open deck at the bottom.
• You can bring a card that is one lower or higher than the existing card on the open deck; so if the open deck shows a Jack, you can put a 10 or Queen from the playing field on it.
• If there are no open cards in the playing field which can be placed on the open deck below, click the closed deck below to get a random card (the number of remaining cards is shown on the leaf)
• In the playing field, when all the cards covering a closed card are removed, the closed card is revealed.
• There are two type of bonus cards: butterfly card, which allows you to remove any card from the playing field (usually to reveal a lower card), and magnolia card, which is a wildcard to place on the open deck, allowing you to then place any card on top of it.

That’s it :o) It’s very simple when you start playing it. Do let me know in the comments how you liked it, or if you know any better versions of solitaire out there.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his throat to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.” The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan’s offer.

One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.

The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.

The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement.

The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”

The Irishman replies, “Oh… I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.
