Thursday, 24 December 2009Best Pet: The Very High Maintenance Cat "Chillin"
Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 4:46 PM ESTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller TerriB325 of Warren, MI. Meet the very relaxed "Chillin"! Distinguishing Personality Traits TerriB325 had this to say about her furry friend: "This is my baby, 'Chillin'! He couldn't have been given a more fitting name. He just chills, chills, and chills some more. The only drawbacks to having a full-blooded Persian is that his hair gets everywhere and he is very high maintenance. I usually have to brush him everyday and groom him so that looks like a baby lion. I have never felt closer to an animal than this cat. He is very perceptive thought and knows just when I need some TLC. He is truly the joy of my life." Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Posted by ohryankelley at 3:04 PM ESTCongratulations to Gamesviller Tsmustang2 of Leitchfield, KY, who received an early Christmas gift to the tune of a $335 jackpot this morning in CatchUp CoverAll! And she wasn't alone, as four other lucky members joined her with their Lucky Ball selections and each took home $25! Congratulations to Gamesvillers Jackpinemom, Bsnell, Abbynormal-bot-brat and Mschardnae1 on their stocking stuffer wins! Useless Fact! Tsmustang2's hometown of Leitchfield, KY, was once the source of some world record controversy when in 1955 a local fisherman caught an 11-pound, 15-ounce smallmouth bass, a pound larger than the previous record. However authorities found a document suggesting the fish had been stuffed with three pounds of lead weights to falsify the fisherman's record. The fisherman was stripped of his title, but after a six-month investigation, which even included lie-detector tests, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency found conflicting evidence and said the world record should be reinstated.

Topic: New Features
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:21 PM ESTSome of you have already noticed a change we've made to our Recent Winners pages with the addition of coin icons to the left of each winner's Gamesville member name. We've created this fun color-coded system to denote whether a winner is a free member or a GV Gold subscriber at the time of their win. Taking a quick look at the Recent Winners lists you can see while it still pays to go gold and treat yourself to an ad-free gaming environment, it will ultimately not effect your chances of winning a jackpot here on the site. What you think about this small update? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section of the blog!

Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:07 PM ESTA mysterious 'UFO' seen in the sky over Moscow this week has sparked speculation that an alien spacecraft is visiting the city. The UFO appeared on December 9th, the same night that a mysterious blue spiral light appeared over Norway that was later attributed to a failed rocket launch from Russia. The fuzzy grey shape was apparently captured on film in at least two separate videos, one filmed during the daytime and another at night, which has lead to the growth of the story.

Distinguishing Personality Traits Rj43023 had this to say about her frisky friend: "Here is my new cat Sadie! When I had to put my 22-year-old cat to sleep I decided to adopt this little tortoiseshell kitten from a local rescue. She is a ball of energy but so lovable and friendly. This picture was a lot of fun to take, but I always make sure Sadie is NOT in the dryer when I turn it on!" Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Topic: Recipedia
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:09 PM ESTToday's recipe comes from Gamesviller Kpk830 who wanted to share one of her holiday party favorites, her tasty Parmesan Chicken Wings. Here's what she had to add about her creative appetizer, "I'm going to a holiday party this weekend and these are a great crowd pleaser. They're simple to make and go great with several different dipping sauces. At this point my family is begging me to make them for multiple parties!" Here's what you'll need to put together her delicious finger food recipe:
Ingredients:
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400° F. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry. Cut each wing into three pieces and discard tip portions. In a plastic bag combine dry ingredients: cheese, flour, basil and salt. Pour milk into a medium size bowl, dip chicken wings pieces and then add into plastic bag. Shake several pieces at a time in cheese mixture. For a heavy coating follow instructions for dry mixture and make more if you run out. Place chicken pieces on greased baking sheet and drizzle with butter. Bake for 35 minutes, turning wings after 15 minutes. Cook until brown and crispy.
