Code Blu Juice Bar on AllenCategory: food
Finally, something is opening up on the desolate corner of Allen across from Cathode. Its a juice bar called Code Blu. While I am excited about tge potential for something new and tasty, I think that might have been an unfortunate choice in names - considering they are a block away from a massive medical campus whose workers could potentially be a large percentage of customers.
As per Wikipedia:
I realize they dropped off the "e" but that doesn't come across verbally.

Code Blue - Generally is used to indicate a patient requiring immediate resuscitation, most often as the result of a cardiac arrest.

That name has potential. "hey man, I am code blu-ed out! Oooh a code, blu smoothie will resuscitate you!"

It's been "coming soon" for several months now. Definitely a code blue situation.

For amusement onlyCategory: games
This video game machine at New York Pizza on Allen is so old fashioned. The graphics are about the quality of an intellivision game from the same era but it has a nostalgic feel.

For amusement only? What else is a videogame supposed to do?

This is (not sure when they started doing this) a new old video game... At the time all it had was Galaga but now you can play many games from that time.... Now what I don't know is if they are full level of those games.... What I mean is if you where good enough at some of those old arcade games you could go pretty far not sure if you could ever really win them or just get the high Score.... I think the reason for the Amusement only is that (this may have only been a rumor) but they had games that if you did well enough you would win things and they had tournaments and stuff...... But I wasn't an arcade rat or what ever those people where called.... By the way one of the game systems not sure what one has a bunch of those games on one disc if you like them......

High Five HSBCCategory: buffalo
In response to (e:Mike) high giving the sky way.

yes more of a cupping and from a different perspective it looks more like Godzilla giving it a little tap and since he can't control his strength down it goes........

That looks scary. Like you are about to knock it down. Where is (e:Mike)'s high-five face reciprocal?

that's actually more cupping it gently than high fiving

btw, this is WAAAAAAAAAAAY more sweet than Justin's. But at that I didn't know what Justin's would be like so I did like it. Took me around 3 weeks to finish the bottle.
I don't know why they have to put lecithin and assorted gums in every single thing. I know it's for consistency etc (and now I know you were obsessed with gums back in the day) but still, I feel weirded out eating something that I normally wouldn't use in my cooking. It's almost like MSG in way - a kind of texture "enhancement" just like MSG "enhances" flavor. I have started avoiding buying things (especially chocolate and chocolate based stuff) with lecithin nowadays because I don't like the idea... I am sure it's irrational in a way.
On a parallel thought, they sold MSG by the kilo at the chinese store near my flat in rochester. And old chinese parents visiting their kids would buy SEVERAL jars at once. I seriously was freaked out when I saw what the box label said. I thought that old lady was buying cake flour or rice flour or something tame.
I am curious now. What else do they have there?
That's a deal, it's 7.99 at Whole Foods in NYC.
I have had this before, I still think Justin's is the best!
