About The Lounge Lizards

Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

A quiz to end hunger

By alarsen | Wednesday, March 12, 2008, 09:00 AM

A couple of fun sites to test your knowledge …

An “Arrested Development” quiz. I’m still mourning its cancellation. Dysfunction has never given me such a warm and wonderful feeling before. I still can’t believe it’s gone. Relive those Bluth family antics with this quiz courtesy of our fine friends at Mental Floss.

Freerice.com. Once you’ve revisited the Bluth family selfishness, it’s time for something selfless. This site will test your vocabulary. For each word you get right, 20 grains of rice will be donated to the UN World Food Program to end hunger. The site says it has donated 21,665,153,990 grains of rice so far. A win-win situation it seems.

An Excuse to Celebrate

Mad Hatter Day

Mad Hatter Day is a day to do and say things that are usually considered absurd, but actually are very logical; and to avoid things that are considered normal, but are actually quite ludicrous. Kinda confusing, so today it should make perfect sense. Celebrate this mad holiday by doing…pretty much whatever you want. Things to do »

Get in the Halloween spirit with a ghost hunt or a haunted house tour [things to do]

Perhaps you've heard stories from Room No. 4 at the Hammel House in downtown Waynesville — the site of a gruesome 19th-century murder. Or maybe you've heard tales from the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. A candlelight flickers in the window, perhaps signaling long-dead conductors on the Underground Railroad. With more than 30 haunted houses, Chris Woodyard of Beavercreek, author of the "Haunted Ohio" book series, says Waynesville is easily the "most haunted town in Ohio." Call and schedule a haunted tour, and maybe you'll spot some ghosts. More »

The Melting Pot in Washington Twp. [review]

The Melting Pot, Washington Township, Ohio

Whether you're looking for a new spot for a date, a night out with the girls or whatever, The Melting Pot offers delicious fondue fun for everyone at its first area location in Washington Twp. The Melting Pot's fondue dining concept is certainly distinctive. Here, the diners are the chefs.
