Today In History: Bacon’s Rebellion, The First Mother’s Day, And The Go-Go’s Go

Written by chriscummings101 / May 10, 2013 1:20 pm / 95 Comments

Useless Facts time! On this day in 1676, young Nathaniel Bacon led Virginian settlers in an armed rebellion against Governor William Berkeley. The farmers didn’t succeed in their goal of driving Native Americans from Virginia, but Bacon’s Rebellion did result in Berkeley being recalled to England.

But did you also know…?

On this day in history:

  • The first Mother’s Day observance takes place during a church service in Grafton, West Virginia (1908);
  • The chart-topping, all-female rock band the Go-Go’s announce their breakup (1985)… which lasts until a reunion in 1990; and
  • Chris Daughtry gets voted off Season 5 of American Idol in a shocking twist as he was favored to win (2006).

Let’s rock into the weekend with the Go-Go’s hit song, Vacation…

Baby Mugshots

Written by chriscummings101 / May 7, 2013 8:21 am / 25 Comments

Fun-loving moms are “baby mugging” — not stealing lollipops from babies, but posting pics that look like their babies are popping out of coffee mugs. Check #babeinamug on Twitter to see the latest pics!

Mugs!

Have a mugshot of your own to share? We’ll give you 10,000 GVs for it!

Mugshots are easier to make than you might think. No special software or apps are required. Just hold a mug in front of your baby to obscure their body, and take the picture.

Send photos to: members@gamesville.com

In addition to your mugshot picture, please be sure to include:

  • Your Gamesville member name – we can’t award you GVs without it!
  • Something about the person in the mug.

If we publish your mugshot, we’ll give you 10,000 GV Rewards.

Don’t fret if you don’t have a baby — dogs and older people fit just great in ceramic, too!
