‘Sit down! We serve anyone!’<\/p><\/div>\n

Hey, buddie! Pssst! You, over there…c’mere! The Southland Corp. wants to give you something for free today…today only! <\/p>\n

We don’t shill for just any quiescently frozen beverage. There are many imitators, but there’s only one Slurpee. Don’t forget that today, numerical date 7-11, means you can get your itchy, sweaty palms on your very own small-size Slurpee without paying for it. Refills will cost you, however.<\/p>\n

You can’t go wrong with straight-Cherry, but some of those soda-flavored Slurpees provide that extra tingle of ice-cold carbonation in the back of the throat. Delightful!<\/p>\n

Remember, that’s your friendly neighborhood 7-11 store. Not those cowboy-kickers at Circle K. Not those Armenians who own the 6-12 ripoff racket in metro-D.C. Not Wawa or Pink Dot or Duncan’s Doughnutsz or *$$ Kafé…only 7-11. Skol!<\/p>\n

Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n

Calder<\/strong> \/ Gulf<\/strong> Gulf 4<\/em>, 5, 6, 9
\nLos Alamitos Thoroughbreds<\/strong> 2, 3, 6, 8<\/em><\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Arlington<\/strong> 4, 6<\/em>, 9
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 1, 3, 4<\/em>, 7, 8<\/em>
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 3, 8
\nLone Star<\/strong> 2, 3, 4<\/em>, 6, 7, 10
\nMonmouth<\/strong> 5
\nWoodbine<\/strong> 1, 4<\/em>, 6<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: None today, but what’s going on with King LeJames? Bosh? ’Melo? Hoopball…too much absolute control with the handsz, just like American Gridiron Throwball…too much use of the hands. At least in beisbol<\/em> and ice hockey and golf and tennis, direct handling is frowned upon, and various long-shafted implements serve as proxies for the hand. And of course there’s fútbol<\/em>. Remember this goal from the Arse last season?<\/p>\n
