I think everyone missed posting the Denny's free grand slam day today.

I wouldn't say I've been MISSING it, Bob.

Reminder bump on the IHOP free shortstack tomorrow.

This year's Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day is April 21, 2009. That would be next week.

Free cookie at subway tomorrow for tax day.

Apparently this promotion is only at selected Subways. I just went to the one by my office and the owner looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for the free cookie.

I was going to complain about giving away cookies during Passover until I realized that if you're keeping Passover, you're probably not having lunch at Subway.

Ben & Jerry's reminder bump for tomorrow.

No B&J's shops here, but my local grocery store had a sale, that I think worked out to way less than 1 cent/calorie. I highly recommend their new flavor "Cake Batter". Cake and ice cream and no wait. Frosting is included.

1 cent/calorie is usually the deal over at Starbucks, in case anyone is counting calories.

It's all Oprah's fault.

If I'm reading this right, buy a ticket to a Columbia football game, get four free beers.

I'd be willing to bet it's not free and that they probably didn't realize that the way they worded it was funny.

Where does it say you have to buy a ticket? I see "show up before the game, show us ID, we give you beer."

Tickets and Access: Admission to the Picnic Area will be free for Columbia University and Barnard College students with valid Columbia Card and Barnard College ID. Game tickets are required for admission to the Picnic Area for all other patrons.

It's certainly possible that this is an error, although this isn't particularly ambiguous wording:

The Pre-game Picnic Area features communal barbecue grills, picnic tables and a beverage concession stand serving soft drinks and beer. The concession stand will open ninety (90) minutes prior to kickoff and close thirty (30) minutes after kickoff. All beverages will be free of charge.

I mean, if soft drinks were free and beer was not, why would you say "beverages" rather than "soft drinks"?

Either way, this got picked up by the Wall Street Journal, so perhaps it'll be called to their attention and they'll correct it if it's wrong.

Or maybe key them into a great promotion. I mean, if you're willing to schelp all the way to 218th street for free beer, you might as well take in some action of their craptacular football team for the effort.

Cold Stone Creamery will be giving out free 3 oz. servings of "Make-a-Wish Creation" when you donate to the Make-a-Wish foundation, from 5-8pm on Thursday, Sept. 24.

Sponsored by a cardiology group looking for billables. Grand Slam refers to all four chambers of the heart.

I'm making room on the 100 Things to Do Before Dying List: Go to Harvard sport event, grab free T-shirt fired from air cannon, unroll shirt, see Harard logo, look disgusted, ball up shirt, toss shirt back onto ice.

I did more or less exactly that at a Dartmouth game in Thompson once. I got chewed out for not just giving the t-shirt to any of the several Dartmouth-fan small children in my vicinity.

It's Harvard. They've got no heart.

I bet they just shoot out blank t-shirts. I caught a t-shirt at a Long Island Ducks (a minor league baseball team in the independent Atlantic League) game once and it was just a plain white t-shirt. Harvard sports seems to be a lower level than the Ducks. If the Ducks won't give out free t-shirts with logos, Harvard won't either.

To be fair, I'm sure they probably threw the shirt back into the stands, so it's not like it went to waste.
