Freebies and free stuff

EDIT: Crudbuckets. They look to be out of samples.

Whew, I thought that long three day weekends off from work are supposed to be relaxing! Not to say I didn’t have fun at my wife’s law convention wearing a fez and my bow tie and quoting Matt Smith for the better part of an hour, but something tells me that I didn’t quite catch on to what the Casablanca theme really was.

Maybe if I had one of these free fishing hooks I would have caught on all hook, line, and sinker…

When this free PreSk8 Energy Shot comes, I have a feeling it’ll keep the folks at work far far away. I mean, if I get anywhere near the office coffee machine, my coworkers start getting jitters and shakes. Its not my fault that caffeine makes me super awesome now, is it?

When I lived in Florida, I think I took the pool for granted. I mean, it was something that even in the cold of January when it was only 57 or so degrees outside? You would head over to the YMCA and jump into their heated indoor pool and be golden. Now, with my new apartment complex only having their pool open from July 4th through the Labor Day Weekend? Well, I forget that some places actually *have* this thing called winter.

So I can only hope that these free SBR Sports samples come fast enough for me to actually enjoy them this year. If not? I might have to fill up my bathtub, put some goggles on my cat, and lube him up to see how well they work for him…

I guess Goob and I both have been dense if we’ve missed National Bowling Week the past few years. And especially with this free game of bowling on August 6th for World Record Day? Well, you could say that we both struck out.

But that would be the wrong sport…

EDIT: It appears that we overwhelmed their supply. Bummer.

There’s a tiny blue “free sample” link at the bottom of this page that will net you a free Nordic Naturals Wellness, Sport, or Pet pack. I have no idea what any of those are. I know Nordic refers to the northern countries in Europe. And there’s that NordicTrack infomercial I see every few days. So … I’m just gonna slowly back away from the keyboard now and hope nobody notices.

[thanks Deal Seeking Mom!]

I used to always think that golfing would get me ahead in the world. Dentists were always golfing in movies, as were lawyers, doctors, and everyone else rich. Then, after Tiger Woods? Well, that sealed the deal.

So maybe if I just get this free golf club wrap, I’ll be a little closer to that richness and fame? Waiter! I’ll have another Bloody Mary, please, hold the blood and the mary!

What’s a ghost’s favorite sport? Boo-ling.
What’s an alien’s favorite sport? Cosmic Bowling.

And with that, I can’t think of any more lame Halloween jokes involving bowling, so before I come up with them, quickly print these free Brunswick bowling coupons for trick-or-treaters that are good from October 31st through November 23rd. And then find an alley near you.

With HIF just reaching over 4,000 posts, its hard for me to fathom that Goob, Shaynon, Jenna, and I have really spent that much time posting freebies. I mean, think about all of the time and effort and blood, sweat, and tears that we put into these few lines to reach you on your RSS feed to make you smile, laugh, cry, and tune in tomorrow for the next episode in the days of our mail lives–or in Goobman and Boy Adam’s lives!

That being said, I need a vacation. Maybe if I jack down the A/C in my apartment, open the windows, and watch this free Non-Stop Ski DVD, I’ll feel like I’m back in Park City…

Happy 4,000+ posts, HIFfers! Thanks for being along with us for the ride, and for the ride to come!

One of the things I’d like to do more of over my vacation is to just spend time doing inane fun things. Amidst the whole “sitting on my rear and clearing off my DVR” and the whole “reading Chelsea Handler’s books” and “jogging crazy long distances” and maybe even the whole “visit Amish country again just to get corn nuts,” I count bowling. Sure, its a fairly simple and everyday item, but when you have freebies like this two free bowling games at AMF Bowling Centers (after completing the survey, a printable coupon link appears), it further fuels its awesomeness.

Now I just need to find a nearby center…

Apparently there’s a National Bowling Week with a World Record Bowling day in August? How did I not know this? I mean, my Oriental Trading Company calendar has so many crazy and random days and events, and yet, August 7th is not on it!

So now, I’ll have to write on it and mark it up for August 7th for World Record Bowling Day and this free game of bowling coupon. The problem is? I’ll be on vacation, so I’ll have to find one near me in Wisconsin…

I’m sure they have plenty of alleys. I mean, bowling: It goes great with beer and cheese.
