Jimmy Johns is a delicious sandwich sub shop soon to be opening in Tyler Texas and several other East Texas cities. They are now open for business in the old Blockbuster location by Lack’s Furniture and Green Acres Baptist Church.
Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches
Keep an eye out for this new lunch time hot spot that will be competing against the likes of Quiznos, Subway, Jersey Mikes, and I think that’s just about it.
Oh ya, Brookshires, Wal-Mart, and Albertsons sale pre-made disgusting sub sandwiches. Why buy pre-made when you can get fresh to order sub sandwiches at Jimmy Johns in Tyler Texas.
The Fushigi Ball infomercial actually is very controversial among the hard core contact juggling artists that do this on the street, sidewalks, subway, etc.
They feel as though an infomercial guru and large manufacturing plant in China is attempting to rebrand their art form known as “contact juggling” to “Fushigi”.
They also believe that they are hoping for these commercials to create the new Hackie Sack phenomenon among emo and wolf pack teenagers in highschool.
This fad would than spread throughout the world as Fushugi instead of it’s proper name, “contact juggling”.
Wow! The controversy has me dumbfounded as I would have never imagined there was a pist off “contact juggler” out there crying fowl.
Has anyone in Tyler seen the Fushigi Ball on TV? There is an ad spot on kids TV channels showing this amazing ball.
They say things like “Gravity Defying” and other amazing language.
All it is is a metal ball incased in a transparent bouncy ball type inclosure.
There are several adults and kids on the commercial moving these balls around on their arms and hands and exclaiming how amazing they are.
What the commercial doesn’t tell you is that these people are all skilled “contact jugglers”. I don’t think I could roll a basketball down my arm very well and definitely not a rubber bouncy ball with some metal in it.
The balls seem to have a little bit of a gyroscope type of movement.
Is this ball worth $19.99? Heck no! I don’t think the infomercial is going to make any money although when they use the infomercial to launch their product in local Walmart’s as well as our very own Tyler Walmart I think they will make some serious money on this.
For whatever reason people love new and different ball creations. I gave personally been the recipient of those balls that have goo and smaller balls inside them with netting on the outside.
I have broken a couple of them in the process of playing with them. I think I only paid 99 cents for these balls. I don’t think I would have paid $19.99 for the experience of squishiness.
Would I pay 19.99 for the therapeutic feeling of defying gravity on my hands and arms? I would not but I might pay 99 cents for it if I saw it on the “as seen on TV” section at Walmart in Tyler.
These infomercial guru’s may very well create a whole new hackey sack type of phenomenon and we will see these things everywhere.
Tyler TX teachers will be taking them up in class along with hackey sacks, yo yo’s and the all new glow in the dark Fushigi Balls.

We enjoy home-made pizzas so I had to be persuaded to try out Papa Murphy’s. I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome!
Papa Murphy’s isn’t your usual pizza place. It’s a bit like – Hmmm – Subway for pizzas!
First you choose and pay for the size and type of pizza you like and if you want a custom pizza you look at all the toppings and decide which you want. Then you watch while they artistically make your pizza in front of you using lots of fresh ingredients. You can comment as they add the toppings – ‘a little more please’, ‘onions on just half the pizza’ and so on until hey presto, the pizza is finished and ready to take home and cook. We had a pizza that was 1/3 pepperoni and 2/3 crispy bacon and pineapple. They absolutely loaded on the toppings, there was no holding back at this place! I haven’t tried the side dishes but they look good too. There is also a low fat ‘lite’ pizza.
The pizzas are double wrapped and baking instructions are included. I love that you can cook it on the tray it comes on too. The result was delicious.
I have to admit to stopping at Papa Murphy’s most Fridays now (it’s our ‘family night’) and in fact, I have now completed a rewards card – if you buy 6 large pizzas you get one free. Sometimes I call ahead with my order so I don’t have to wait for it to be made and at other times I just like to go in and watch it being done!
Try Papa Murphy’s – there are 3 in Tyler so there’s no excuse!
