Ty Takes a Meal

Our weekly photo game

 
 

Congratulations to emptyv for identifying the wood stove in Cecilia's downtown dining room!

I get the feeling that this week's restaurant might be a little more challenging for you guys (the clientele seemed a bit more ... midwestern than I peg our readership [that's a hint]), but feel free to prove me wrong.

A quick rules run down: See the picture? It's from a restaurant that I've been to recently. Figure out where it is and post your answer in a comment below (not on Facebook, don't email them to my Alibi account, don't tap it out in code on the wall of your prison cell; put them in the comments section or you won't win). The first person to do so with the correct answer will be declared Dark Lord of the PhotoGuessers for the Week AND, at the end of the month, will be entered into a drawing for an Alibi Bucks prize along with the other Dark Lords of the PhotoGuessers.

Got it?

Now, one more thing. If you win, I'll be notifying you via Alibi.com's message feature, which some of you may not know about. Look at the upper-right hand corner of the screen. See that block of red text that tells you if you're logged in, etc.? If I send you a message, that block will also display a notification along the lines of "2 messages." Click on it, and it will take you to your inbox where a cheery "YOU ARE A WINNER" message may very well be waiting. Read it and then write back to me to acknowledge that you've received it. You can also get to your inbox through the "my alibi" drop down menu.

Okay, GUESS.

The Daily Word in Gay Marriage, Goat-splosions and Snotwinkles

The Daily Word

Hey, guess what? We can all stop arguing about same-sex marriage in New Mexico, because it turns out that it's totally protected by the state constitution! Shwew. So glad that we finally settled that one.

The area around the Pit won't be the pits anymore.

Remember how everyone always thought Michelle Shocked was gay? Well, she just came out! As a huge asshole!

Speaking of assholes, Sandy Hook truthers are still insisting that those kids never got killed. Won't their parents be relieved.

The Westboro "God Hates Fags" Baptist Church is really warming up to the new rainbow colored house across the street.

Why are goat populations exploding? Global warming.

And finally: Who wants snotwinkles?!?

Congratulations to Okeefine for correctly identifying O'Niell's Irish Pub in Nob Hill (and even spelling the name right) from some table-side metalwork. Now, send me a message Okeefine (ty@alibi.com)

A quick reminder of what this contest is all about. See the picture I've posted there? It's of an Albuquerque restaurant. If you are the first one to name it correctly in a comment below, you will be declared Grand Moff PhotoGuesser of the week, and what's more, you'll be eligible for our prize drawing (free Alibi bucks to a local restaurant!) at the end of the month. Not too, shabby eh?

So, get to it! Figure out which restaurant I've been to recently!

One more thing: If you win, I'll be sending a short message to your Alibi.com mail account. Look in the upper right hand corner of the screen; if you're logged in and you've got a message, you'll be notified in that little block of text up there. It's important that you write me back after you've won so that I can notify you if you win the big prize at the end of the month.

The Daily Word in book banning, disenfranchised Republicans and gun deaths

The Daily Word

A new election rule looks like it will make it harder for Republicans to become Mayor of Albuquerque, even when Dems split the vote.

And Republicans in Rio Rancho are also feeling disenfranchised.

That whole minimum wage law thing? We're still talking about it. Now the servers have their say.

New Mexico legislators are fighting about whether or not they should be allowed to ban books, especially ones about brown people.

2,635 people have died via gun violence since the Newtown massacre. At least.

Who doesn't love trolling celebrities on Twitter? Watch out, though, because sometimes Internet tough guys meet the real deal.

This just in: Kids everywhere love toys.

Pope? Nope.

Update: Smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel signifying that a new pope has been chosen.

    A new month, a new chance to win free Alibi Bucks to a local restaurant. Just yesterday, commenter Schmeltzy won $20 worth of Bucks to Cafe Lush, and last month Msanchez won the same for Tia Betty Blue's.

    The Daily Word in Breaking Bad school boards, really expensive coffee and vaginal displays

    The Daily Word

    This just in: Presidenté Hugo Chavez is still dead.

    The bad news: You spent 22 months in solitary confinement in a Dona Ana county jail without being convicted and had to remove your own tooth. The good news: The county just paid you $15.5 million dollars.

    Attention Breaking Bad fans with kids in APS: Gomie is now on your school board. Thank God it isn't Tuco.

    Governor Martinez' anti-illegal immigrant driver's license bill has been tabled and is probably dead. She'll just have to comfort herself with a really expensive cup of coffee.

    Feeling dry? That's because it's a drought. Feeling thirsty? Try to drink around the jet fuel.

    Images of aborted fetuses publicly displayed on campuses make an important political point. Images of women's vaginas, though, are exploitative and grody.

    Just when you think you're finally done with the frigging Harlem Shake, YouTube decides to go meta.

      Prize day edition

      The Randomizer 4000, ready for action.
      The Randomizer 4000, ready for action.

      Another month has passed, and the day of the TTM drawing is here!

      But first, I must address a point of controversy. A scandal, even. There were three successful photo-guessers last month, but only two will be competing for the prize. Why? It turns out that last week's winner, GardenGnome, was actually ineligible to play and his name has been cast out of the Randomizer 4000.

      With that ugliness out of the way, let us turn to the big event. Our two contestants are commenter Schmetlzy, who deduced Loyola's Family Restaurant from a roadrunner themed lamp, and commenter Evarockstar who correctly identified Limonata Italian Street Food Caffe from a group of crowded shelves.

      Music editor Samantha Anne Carrillo concludes the randomizing sequence.
      Music editor Samantha Anne Carrillo concludes the randomizing sequence.

      As usual, the contestant's names were placed within the secure confines of the Randomizer 4000. Our guest drawer, music editor Samantha Anne Carrillo then activated the randomizing sequence (mixed up the names with her fingers) and then selected the lucky winner. Two impartial observers (myself and staff writer Mark Lopez) were unhand to make sure that everything was on the up and up.

      The winner? Commenter Schmeltzy!

      Congratulations, you've won two $10 Alibi Bucks for breakfast at Cafe Lush.

      Check back tomorrow for another mysterious photograph and another chance to win.

      The Daily Word in restaurant wages, watered down beer and hidden treasure

      The Daily Word

      There's treasure in New Mexico! Somewhere! Go get it!

      The City has decided that yeah, businesses DO have to follow the new minimum wage law after all. Or at least that one malt shop does. Since everybody made a fuss over it.

      Come give your input on making Central Avenue between 1st and Girard a more pedestrian friendly area. Maybe someday they'll get around to the section between San Mateo and Tramway. But probably not.

      Amazing video of a pig rescuing a goat was faked by an advertising team, trained animals and divers. Which is also kind of amazing.

      Belgian owned brewery Anheuser-Busch (makers of Budweiser and Michelob) is accused of watering down their beer. They deny it, suggest that maybe their products are just terrible.

      The Tea Party has gone all tanniny.

      And goodbye, Ratzo!

      UPDATED: See the comments below for a hint!

      First of all, congratulations to NOBODY for guessing last week's photo. That's right, none of you could figure it out. So I'm giving you guys some homework: Get over to Budai Gourmet Chinese as quickly as you can and scarf up some of their excellent food. Don't forget to ask for the secret menu!

      Now, a quick rules run down on how this works: See the picture? It's from a restaurant that I've been to recently and it is SIDEWAYS. Figure out where it is and post your answer in a comment below (not on Facebook, don't email them to my Alibi account, don't write them down in your diary; put them in the comments section or you won't win). The first person to do so with the correct answer will be declared Emperor PhotoGuesser of the Week AND, at the end of the month, will be entered into a drawing for an Alibi Bucks prize along with the other Emperor PhotoGuessers.
