Hump This
Munch: Good 2 Go Taco
Daily 7a-3p; Inside GreenSpot, 702 N. Buckner Blvd; East Dallas; 214.668.0831
Just opened by a pair of vet chefs (Green Room/Kitchen 1924) inside a White Rock Lake-proximate grocer/biofuel station, Good uses local organic ingredients to create a rotating menu of criminally tasty, from-scratch soft tacos like the jerk chicken/mango "Jerk", the chili/cheese fry "Hot Potato", and the chorizo/mashed red tater "Late Riser" -- but, sadly for the world of comedy, not the "Late Reiser".
Side patio, walk-up window & late-night hours coming; take a peek at the rotating blackboard menu
Invest: FantasySports Trader.com
Based on the premise that you know more about A-Rod than Enron, this real-money, Dallas-based "jocks = stocks" site differentiates itself from competitors by "paying out prizes on each individual stock and not just for the top 3 users", and by tying value purely to fantasy performance, not supply and demand; player IPOs are determined by an actuary, defined by the site as "somebody who does math for a living and is also incredibly good looking" (physics will miss you, Stephen Hawking).

Lubricate: Free cocktails at AMPM Lounge
5-7p, Through Fri: In Mosaic Dallas, 300 N. Akard St.; Downtown; 214.969.5550
The slick, mirrored ball-festooned ultra-lounge wants you inside it, so it's giving you inducements: 1/2-price gourmet Southwestern apps (pulled-pork sliders, nachos, etc) plus a free happy hour cocktail every day through Friday; given that "one-per" sometimes ends up more guideline than rule, you could end up out-of-commission every day through Sunday.

Rock a Jock: Ovadafut Fall Line Trunk Show
1-7p, Thur Aug 27: Ken's Man's Shop, 309 Preston Royal Shopping Center, Preston Road at Royal Lane; North Dallas; 214.369.5367
Delight the crap out of yourself with free wine and Molto Formaggio cheese as you check out VK Nagrani's so-new-its-not-public-yet fall offering of crisply designed, subtly colored/printed socks, tees, and Pima-cotton under-things; named "802 Woody", the new-style boxer-briefs' center is "hand sewn to be anatomically correct", though whether that means the unaroused or eponymous state is uncertain.

Fair Warning: Carnival Corn Dog Maker
Set to ship by the time the State Fair hits, this counter-top friendly, Foreman-esque griddle'll operate sans fryer pit to cook up corn dogs and pretty much anything on a stick, from cheese sticks to candy bars -- throw in some post-traumatic vomiting, and you can have the complete Fair experience right in your very own kitchenette.
