Parks And Recreation

It's been over a week since the last post on here, I suppose it's time for some Cards and some Coffee.

I have both next to me, so let's get this party going!

*takes a sip*

I get a lot of TV show suggestions time after time and most of them don't hit home. One of those in particular is The Office. I just can't get into it even though it's loved by all.

However, another show with the same kind of premise, I recently really got into recently.

That show is Parks and Recreation. 

The show ran for 7 seasons from 2009-2015 and takes place in a Parks and Recreation office led by Leslie Knope who is played by Amy Poehler. The cast is really solid and works well together as you watch relationships build and the comedy rolls on with the situations they are placed in. Along with Poehler, the cast consists of Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Rob Lowe, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt to name a few. There were also some guest stars as well.

So far, I have only made it halfway through season 2, so no spoilers in comments please! But I have enjoyed every episode all the way from the start.

*takes a sip, thinks about putting on an episode while typing this up but knows the article won't get done if that was the case*

*takes another sip*

After getting into the show, I remembered that back in 2013 Press Pass created a Parks and Recreation card set. I wasn't into the show then when I opened a box and had no idea who or what the show was, but now I do and now I want the cards.

So, a chase happened.

I do have a couple autographs and relics I will show another time, but I wanted to chase the base set and silver parallel set as well.

After weeks of posting on Twitter that I was looking for said sets, I finally had someone replied and we pulled off a trade.

Included in my portion of the trade was an almost complete base set, missing card #6.

 

And roughly an almost complete silver parallel set. I will have to write those numbers down sometime.

 

 

 

I will have to do an Unfinished Cup at some point on this set.

If any of you have any kicking around and want to check in with what I need, just drop me an email at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.

Thanks again to @wolf_and_saint for the trade. I hope you enjoyed what I sent as much as I enjoyed what you sent.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I have also gotten a few other mail days recently as well and will be posting those soon too along with a few other special posts.

Hope everyone has been drinking their coffee during my hiatus on here and saying cheers while waiting for my return.

Have a great Monday.

Man Vs Coffee

*takes a sip, gets ready for a new Cards Over Coffee*

I am not sure what it is about me, but I love watching food on TV. I love seeing what kind of food offerings there are across the country and one of my favorite shows that offers a good look at some delicious food is Man Vs Food.

Not only does the show present food, but it has food challenges that the hosts have to take on in a certain amount of time. Some of them are absolutely ridiculous and I am not sure how the hosts even finished it. You must really have to train for that kind of eating.

Makes you wonder how well Joey Chesnut would do with some of those challenges.

When I first started watching Man Vs Food, the host is the guy featured on my latest card pickup that I snagged for $1.

*takes a sip, wonders if I should take on a coffee challenge*

  

Adam Richman is a TV personality that was the host of Man Vs Food from 2008-2012. He took on many of the nation's biggest food challenges such as 10-pound stuffed pizza for example. His personality made the show even more interesting, and I think he was a great choice for a show like that.

 

Even though Adam doesn't host Man Vs Food anymore, he is still on television hosting a variety of other food related programs.

Man Vs Food was off the air for many years after Richman exited before being revived back in 2017 with a new host in Casey Webb who puts his own spin and personality on it. He does a great job as well.

Someday I hope to check out some of the places featured on this show . I won't be participating in any of the challenges....unless it involves a 10-cup coffee challenge. 

Man vs Coffee....MAN WINS!

I hope everyone has a great day.

In comments today, let me know if you watch food shows like this one and which ones are your favorite.
