OTDOD - 11-12-8 Nothing Left to Talk About Edition

PrintThere looks to be a shortage of topics, since we appear to have burned through our weekly allotment of topics in yesterday's OTDOD.
We have to conserve topics for the rest of this week, so today's topics will be all about me and my trip. Any departure will get a stern (read: no) reprimand, which will be roundly ignored as you continue to talk about whatever the hell you want.
Topics for today include:
- What is there to do in a rural Mississippi casino besides gamble, drink, and selling electronics to hicks?
- Interesting things to do when you're on a plane for over 12 hours in the next week and a half.
- What is there to do in LV (for little to no money) besides strip clubs, gambling, drinking, and selling electronics to rich snobs?
- Does anyone want any pictures of anything in either of these places? Keep in mind, they have to be in running distance of the strip.
- Is there an app for BB that will let me participate in LL comment threads? Opera mobile crashes at the long-ass cookie that SBN tries to give you, the BB browser is more than useless, and neither let me log in.

You're going to go into LL withdrawls.
And yes, you can mock the locals in Mississippi. That’s more or less all I did.

Yes, I want a picture.
Of you with two half-naked midget-strippers standing in front of the MGM. Stripper gender is up to you.
They make those?
If so, I want that picture too.

Nice thing is,
after eight years of dedicated service to my company, they’re pissed that I’m missing four days in a row being sick, even though I have doctors orders NOT TO GO TO WORK until Friday because I’ll infect everyone in the office. I’m a litle pissed about that.
Then my assistant called me today because the computer system crashed, and our IT guy can’t be there until 8:30 tonight, so I can’t even chug some NyQuil and go to sleep and rest because I have to be available if he calls.

My fever seems to have gone away,
I was up to about 101 yesterday. The sore throat is slightly better than it was too. Hopefully one more day off to rest an recuperate, then back to work to deal with the apparent hellstorm caused by my absence. Can’t wait until I’m gone a full week for my honeymoon.

Although I'm not sure if it was a stripper or not
I have some pictures taken of myself and a midget in Vegas when I was down there for my 21st. I don’t remember much of the circumstances, but she tried to molester me and there are pictures.

Given Thingray's stated fondness for midgets
I think that a picture of this nature would be right up his alley.
Speaking of,
I have pictures from my last vacation of the Roloffs when they were on the same flight as me. Talk about mean people.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to ask.
I thought I would just play it cool and Google them later haha.
I mean,
I don’t think we are missing that much. It’s from a subthread about midgets. I don’t think this qualifies us as morons. Maybe behind on midget culture though.
Haha, woefully behind it seems.
However, I really am a dumbass about most things and have to plan my life accordingly; taking my dumbassery into account so I don’t perish in some spetacularly moronic fashion.
It's some show on TLC, about a family of midgets.
That’s about all I know, I’m sure Thingray would be able to tell you more.

I am aware of this show.
Although I’ve grown tired of these particular midgets. “Little People, Big World” I believe it’s called. I’d llike it better if it was called “Little Midgets on the Prarie” or something.
Man do I love midgets.
Exactly
It’s amazing that I haven’t ended up there yet. Especially since the Army gives me lots of things that go boom.
You know,
maybe if you’re ever home in the summer, you shouldn’t go to LL events. Cause I don’t want you to accidently stick some C4 under my truck or something.

I’ve actually never got to play with any C4. And now that I do Embassy duty, I don’t even have any guns anymore. Hell, I don’t even wear my uniform anymore.

I think one of the most important things I learned
about programming in college — and believe me this one took me longer than it should have — is to not lend any special credence to anything a professor says. I dont think my profs have really programmed anything in years, they just like to read books and talk about it.

My computer just restarted itself. It wasn’t a typical hard crash. It actually shut down all the programs I had open (Firefox, Outlook, AutoCAD), closed my network connections, and restarted.

Automatic updates don't usually auto-restart though.

If the right setting is applied, they will.

It’s something we grappled with here, and we ended up finding the settings to make it install the updates, and just bug people every five minutes until they do it themselves. It’s an option that bugs people, but doesn’t cause any lost work.

People watching is a lot of fun in Vegas
My wife and I like to sit back and make up little vignettes about what they are doing or thinking.
I previously posted as "Man From Nantucket"
yes yes a thousand times yes
One of the best places to people-watch is at either the Bellagio or the Wynn. Here you have all this opulence, and all this…well, you can’t call it “class”, really, but there’s definitely a lot of money sloshing around, and all you see walking through the lobby and casino is people wearing fanny packs and neon sweats. It’s truly mind-blowing.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I get incredibly depressed when I'm in Vegas.
I just can’t get into it. The people make me so sad. It’s like 20% people having fun and 80% degenerate gamblers who look dead behind the eyes.
When I was a kid
we used to visit my family in Reno a few times a year, and at Christmas we always stayed in a hotel because of the number of people at my grandma’s house. Even as a kid, I remember coming down in the morning to go to my grandma’s house and seeing people sitting at slot machines, then returning in the evening and seeing THE SAME PEOPLE AT THE SAME MACHINES OVER 12 HOURS LATER. This happened more times than I can remember, and it’s one of the things that made me not be a gambler. To this day I can play about an hour’s worth of blackjack and that’ll be all I can deal with.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
It really is quite the deterrent.
In college, I played some poker and bet a little on football. Then I started betting more. Nothing drastic, but I was always losing more than I was winning, yet I still loved it. But after a few trips to Vegas, I have zero interest in gambling anymore. I like having food and shelter.
I've just never had the personality for it
not just the “i like food and shelter” aspect, which is definitely there, but it’s incredibly boring staring at a slot machine for 5 minutes, much less all goddamn day.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
My mom plays nothing but slots whenever she goes.
I don’t get it either. Especially slots. I like to feel I have at least a modicum of control over how quickly someone takes my money away from me.

There's a ton of stuff to do in Vegas that doesn't involve gambling though
There’s art museums, great food, and other things – you don’t have to spend a single minute in a casino if you don’t want to. I firmly believe everyone should see Las Vegas at least once – it defies description (and reason), and it’s pretty amazing, in an “oh my god I can’t believe they did this” sort of way.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I love Las Vegas....or more accurately, I love the idea of Las Vegas.
It’s really great that someone built a city just to have a place where normal rules don’t apply.
You can’t really blame Vegas if what many, many people want to do when certain societal strictures are removed is to stare blankly at an electronic slot machine.
The combination of tacky opulence, slots, and desert heat mean it really shouldn’t be my kind of place, and I suppose it’s not, but it really is different and, yes, special. I’m biased, of course, seeing as I got married there, but I will always have a soft spot for LV, even if I really don’t care if I ever go there again.
That's one way of looking at it.
If people want to be stupid, you can try really hard to not let them, or you can try to profit from it (or at least have a good time).
There may not be a lot of sense in debating this, given your stated ambition to become a dictator. For me, I just wish I owned a casino/sportsbook down there.
I just meant the movie.
I think Vegas is like looking 25 years into the future.
Technically, I have been there once.

I’m like, “You live in Seattle, I live in San Diego. These are beautiful cities. You’re killing me.”

I find Las Vegas to be an amazingly fun place. It’s the only place on earth where you don’t have to be yourself – the minute you get off the plane, the real-world you just says “I’ll hang out back here, meet you in a few days”, and you can do whatever the hell you want, in as much quantity as you desire and can afford. It’s fantastic.

I don't have the guts for big-time gambling.
I’ll play poker with friends in a low-stakes game, but in Vegas, even at a $1-$2 game, I’m sweating buckets.
I have a very strict money limit, which I rarely approach that I'm willing to lose
typically it’s $500 for the weekend, but I’ve never come close to that

I set myself about a $100 gambling limit
and then I end up shifting most of that into the booze budget.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I have no problem sticking to it, thankfully
and that, honestly, is really more of an absolute max – I usually quit and go get really drunk if I’m down anywhere in the neighborhood of $250-$300. I just happen to run with really rich friends when I’m there =(
by seattlebruin on Nov 12, 2008 9:22 AM PST up reply actions
This is about the way I play it, too.
I tell myself $100, but I know I can go up to $300 or so if I’m really having fun. But usually after losing $100 in 10 minutes, I’m not having fun. So I pull out another hundred and just go get drunk.
I like to separate my winnings from my bet.
I start with whatever I’ve budgeted for gambling at my left hand, when I win a hand I put everything above the initial bet on my right hand. When the left hand is empty, I take the right hand stack and cash out for the day. I’ve seen a few other people do this, I like it. Keeps me in check, that and leaving my credit cards in the hotel room.
I'm a black jack player
Whenever I sit down I cash in enough for 2 stacks of ten chips.. Whenever I win another stack of 10, it goes in my left pocket and never comes back out. If I lose the 2 stacks that are on the table, I walk. Works pretty well for me and I can generally walk away a winner, albeit not a big winner since I don’t have the sack to stay in and make the big bets.
Black for me also. I don't think I've ever played another game in a casino.
I’ve watched the craps table for kicks, but I’ll never put money down. I watch the guys that work the table, and there is no way I’m ever getting that quick figuring the percentages as they place their bets. Counting decks isn’t a big deal to me, but the speed those craps players move at, way too fast for me.
Yeah, I too am more than a little intimidated by those craps players.
Every once in while I’ll get a bright (read stupid) idea and go try the slots. I swear I would get more entertainment out of just throwing a $20 bill straight into a trash can.
You don't even get the one armed bandit action anymore.
Stupid button. Whoopeeee. I know there’s still an arm on the side, but for some reason a machine full of cogs and gears is more exciting than a computer algorithm.
Video slots are kindof a problem for me.
I will play penny machines once in a while, though. I put in $5 and see if I double it. If I double it, I take my money out and I put my $5 of winnings back in. I think I’ve been just about even on slots or maybe even a buck or two ahead.

That's why I like these betting tricks so much.
A little mechanism to keep me from getting out of hand. Plus if I’m on a multiple day trip, it helps me stick to my daily allotment. The first time I went on a gambling weekend, I blew my stash in a day, and spent the rest of the weekend poolside. All those free drinks…
When I was young the sadist in me loved that look.
Now that I have responsibilities it makes me sad to see people piss their lives away like that.
The Left 4 Dead demo was released yesterday.
Holy shit, that game rules so much.

But don’t ride the one at NYNY when you’re hung over. Nothing good will come of that decision. Trust me.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
yup.
We’d been out drinking until about 5AM, and had slept for about two hours when we decided it was time to forage for food/water. After water was obtained, we realized it was 10AM and we were bored; it was too early to start drinking again (remember, kids, I’m pushing 40!), so we decided to head over to NYNY. The roller coaster looked like a lot of fun, and it was – but I really wasn’t right for the rest of the day. Cold sweats, shakes, nonstop nausea, you name it.
Note that this did not stop me from repeating the drinking/debauchery on night 2. But it took me a while to get up to speed.

He was a cool enough guy, but his hair is what made him awesome. He had long hair (probably midway down his back) parted in the middle, and a neckbeard that was so long that the hair was perfectly straight. The head hair on each side of the part was hair-tied to half of the neckbeard.

You're thinking of Kelly Lynch, right?
She was good in Drugstore Cowboys, but her magnum opus was, of course, Road House.
Now I remember what the deal was.
She put a hat on a bed, and Bob blew up. Bob hated her and thought she was useless, so she OD’d on dilaudid. Something like that.
Naw, Heather Graham. She was the one that od'd (suicide?).
James LeGross’s gf. They had to sneak her body out of the hotel while it was full of cops, buried her in the woods. Either she was about 17 when they filmed that, or she’s lying about her current age.
Huh, I swear I read or saw her comment differently recently.
Probably just a re-run of something from a few years ago. She said she was 32, and I flashed on D.C. I haven’t watched that movie in years, I’m suddenly feeling the need to dig it out, one of my all time favorites.
the UW has a tremendously incentive benefits package.
They also pay a shit load. Who knew?
government organization
public funding
I’ve noticed that too when looking for low level jobs at the U of Missouri
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
I figured the bennies would good for that reason
but usually the side effect of gov’t funded jobs is low pay.

Since I would be exempt from tuition.
Oh now that is a really cool benefit

If there were anything around the four corners, it might be different – this seems like it would have been cooler in the 1950’s when there was nothing interesting to do, read, or watch, but nowadays it’s lost even the quaintness factor and it’s just oddly pointless.

There's a Wal-Mart distribution center in St. George.

Oh, but the airport is really cool and scary at the same time. It’s on a plateau and you can’t see the end to end of the runway because the landscape is so wavy. But if you don’t know where you are, you might fall off the edge of the plateau 20 yards over the next hump.

Sleigh'r
Like you, I’m worried about coffee tastes infiltrating my beer.
Vertical Epic is a great idea, I just would’ve liked 07/07/07 better. Reading the description of this year’s isn’t giving me a lot of confidence that it’s something I’d like. (But man, I need an 07/07/07).
Don’t know anything about Fort George brewing, but I’ve had Ninkasi stuff, and the Sleigh’r looks pretty damn nice.
This.
Hearty disappointment. The 05 was great.
Did you have the '07?
How did it stack up? Of course, it’s probably pretty difficult to find any of the old years now.
You’re aging quite a few beers; have you tried the ’05 recently? How did it change?
I've had the 07 and it was decent enough, I think it'll be much improved by next year
I last tried the 05 about 4 months ago.

Hmm. As booze-soaked raspy voices go, it's about 1/100th of a Mark Lanegan
Finn’s a great, great writer, but….
You could not get teh chix by singing Billy Joel songs in Finn’s voice, unlike the other suggestions here.
Your mileage quite obviously varies….
I'm not sure I'd get teh chix with Billy Joel songs anyway
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
I was trying to use something that would get zero chicks on its own
to isolate the effect of the vocals.
Maybe I should have gone with Dimmu Borgir or, don’t hate me ac, KARP.
Good point
but I’ll take Finn’s rasp over Lanegan’s – and I LOVE Mark Lanegan. Finn’s rasp is hopeful, Lanegan’s is beat-down and sad. This makes for good songs, but I personally prefer the Finn approach.

She is not a fan of Mr. Plague's voice, no.
And some of the vocal melodies that KARP uses on their later albums are pretty nice. I think it’s more of a Big Business/Melvins thing though.

I think it was a bad idea to introduce so many new regulars at the same time.
Kumar is fine, Taub can go away, and 13 is a huge huge drag on the show; she came out of nowhere and she’s basically a less likable version of Cameron (if that were possible) and she gets crazy amount of screen time . I’ve disliked virtually every 13 heavy episode since she was made a regular.

Ya gotta wait until they are at least a (7x/xx) with a control rating of 70 or better
if they’re a pitcher
And if they’re a batter you have to wait until they are an 80 contact, or at least a 7x/8x/8x (P/C/E)

Hey man, can I ask you a question, man?
What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding, huh?
(This is the funniest random question I have ever heard asked out of the blue by anyone anywhere.)

I'd go for one comment every 50 days
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Your boss sounds like a nice person.
Me? Instead of taking a vacation day tomorrow I’ll be sorting through equipment that needs to be thrown out. The stuff that doesn’t get thrown out I need to put into new cases.
I want an underling.
No I just get away with it because I go coco for coca pops during seahawks games
he tried to sneak me in last sunday and wont be making that mistake again.
Pardon the "hella"
I’ve been listening to a lot of Blue Scholars. It’s bringing me back to my 90s PNW slang.
I agree, but it tends to drive some people crazy.
Namely, my lady. I find it fun to terrorize her, though.
Hella reminds me of hecka, which reminds me of the nineties.

I'm going to stab the next person who says "What the F" in a non-work environment.
Just fucking say it. Your mom’s not here.
It can be amusing if the right person says it.
That person has to have a guttermouth though.

I just fully support swearing.
There are times I turn my filter on (work, hanging out with my conservative relatives), but if you’re already implying it, just say it. Fuck. It’s a good word.
Right but if someone that swears a lot censors themselves at the right moment it can be hilarious.
The unexpected nature of it is what makes it funny. I agree that not swearing for the purpose of not swearing is silly.

I do an "oh EFF" once in a while.
I only cuss casually or in a reactionary fashion.

Fuck shit piss motherfucking ess.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Although straight up, I've been punctuating some of my thoughts with "motherfucker" recently.
I put on Pumpkin Smash a week-pus ago and I put on my calendar as “MOTHERFUCKING PUMPKIN SMASH, MOTHERFUCKERS!”

Awesome motherfucking usage.

Fully understandable exception.
I think prohibiting language is futile. But at the same time, if I had a kid sitting next to me I would most definitely watch my mouth.
Fullymotherfucking bitch ass-hatch agreed.
Thank god the boy is in bed.

Think "So Whatcha Want" by the Beastie Boys.
That’s how I sing every song. It works really well for Beastie Boys songs. Not that well for everything else. But the Xbox is dumb and thinks I’m the shit.
1393 comments about nothing.
Well done, everyone. Commendable.

I mean really, right? If I want to take it, say, to H, where do I find that?

Sport Soup on Versus. Anyone seen it? It's kind of painful...
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
A new show on the Versus channel that resembles "The Soup," on E or whatever. Has potential, but kind of sucks.

It's a cable channel where Iget my MMA fix.
I rep an MMA fighter who has won many bouts (from the old unsanctioned days). He’s looking to get back into it, and I’m looking forward to the money.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
I am trying to figure out what MMA is without looking it up.
MMA…. MMA…. Nope, I’m coming up empty. I’m looking it up.
Mixed Martial Arts! I never would have gotten that one!
Mixed Martial Arts. UFC, WEC, Tapout, etc.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
They occasionally have college football games, too.
I remember watching a Boise State game on that channel and having no idea that it even existed. Just found it while scrolling through the menu.
They have a lot of MWC games
the MWC blows

I think I also have misjudged the hour tonight.
I’ve been tired all day, so my body thinks it’s 4 a.m.
I had a bunch of 21-year-old kids over partying last night, so I’ve been dragging ass and feeling old all day.
To clarify that I'm not creepy:
Managers from around the state. My girl works for a pizza company, and they had their corporate meeting here this week or whatever.
Slamball is quite possibly the best sport of all time
and I would be thrilled if it somehow went mainstream

I love this seemingly random comment, and will meet you there.

My night is complete.
I love you.

Is there an explanation behind this, or is it just a non sequiter?

I'm trying to figure out if there's any betting pool or oddsmakers anywhere that do stuff bsaed on world events.
And I don’t mean the stock market, I mean more like social changes.
