OT Friday 1/23 Rickets disease is a bitch

Or something to that effect. One of the perks you unlock allows you to drop a live grenade when you drop. Kep an ear out and you can hear them drop, even from a distance, to help warn you

Date of Joke: Wednesday, 2nd July, 2008

A few days after Christmas, A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son yell ‘All you sons of bitches who want to get off, get the hell off now, because this is the last stop! All of you sons of bitches that are getting on, get your asses in the train cause were leaving’. The mother went in and told her son, ‘we don’t use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go into your room for two hours. When you come out, you can play with your train, but I don’t want to hear any bad language.’

Two hours later, the son comes out of his room and continues playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard the son say, ‘All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your ride was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon. For those of you who are just boarding the train, we ask that you stow all of your hand luggage under the seat, remember there is no smoking except on the club car. We hope you have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today’.

‘For those of you who are pissed off with the two hour delay , please see the bitch in the kitchen.’

I have had to have 4 dogs put down in my young life, and you never get over it. Still have the ashes of the one that was most ingrained into the family, and his collar still sits atop the box

:( :( :(

That was one of the sadder things I’ve read.

If somebody says, “Hey, let’s go to Henry’s!” put your foot down and don’t go. That place is terrible. Sure, they have tons of beer on tap, but the clientele is infuriatingly horrible.

There’s the Ace, which is probably the closest. The Mark Spencer’s also pretty close, and pretty reasonable. There’s also tons of good bars – right downstairs from the Crystal is a McMenamins bar (the Crystal’s owned by McM’s), but if you go a little further up Burnside you get to the Matador, the Kingston, and the Bitter End, all within a block or two of PGE Park.

Downtown Portland’s not so much with the bars, and all the bars in the Pearl are the same (see Phildo’s note about Henry’s), so I’d go to any of the three bars I listed instead. If you’re a beer guy, the Lompoc can’t be missed – I don’t know if you’ve got a car or not but it’s a pretty decent walk from downtown, but the #15 bus goes from the Crystal to the Lompoc.

If you’re not as much of a beer guy, there’s a couple good bars on NW 21st – O’Briens does a really good burger, and there’s a new sports bar that I haven’t had a chance to try yet on 21st and Glisan, owned by the people who own SIlver Dollar Pizza, also on 21st and Glisan and pretty good in its own right.

I just look at my list of saved shows every night and go “huh, didn’t realize that was on!”.
