OTFPOTD - Help me figure out my vacation edition

I have May 8 - 17 scheduled off of work.  I was going to drive to Boise to visit inlaws, but my Wife is going back next weekend instead.  Due to a scheduled product release and recent work insanity, I'm planning on keeping the week+ off for a solo adventure.

I like to Bike pack, but I like to road trip.  I can do and sometime can handle cold rain, but bike packing in it be a pain, but can also be rewarding.  I could sleep in the back of my Forester, and take my dog on a road trip, do a tour of some car camping places.  I could do the Peninsula, hitting the national forest and park, but it's more a summer time trip, and Earl (my dog) couldn't go to the National Park. I could do Eastern washington.  Maybe do some prospecting near Liberty (I LOVE that area).  I want to camp.  If I go off my bike Earl may not be able to go.  If it's off a trail or Forest service/logging road I could probably take him.  I'd like that.  I'm geared up to camp with him.

I could probably do $500 or so max, and I'm a campaholic (rain, wind, snow, or forest fires, I've done them all), so something camping related is probably in order.  I'm geared for anything short of camping on glaciers.  Snow is not an obsticle.  

Anyway,  help me.  Even crazy things like run to vegas (I'd nix that idea immediately, since the wifey would have visions of hookers dancing in her head) or hunting bigfoot all week are welcome since I like differing opinions like the new FO do.  BTW, as an Avid NW roadtripper, Corco's highway blog rocks.

***

The root beer turned out not the greatest, but not the worst.  I'm drowning the last one I have (my dad has some).  It's OK.  Too gingery, kind of funky. My next two beers are a Blueberry Honey ale, and another root beer, except it'll be done with hops.  I did a blueberry honey ale about 3 months ago.  It went fast. It was my best beer.  I'll post what I do when I do them.  In a Beer making fan post. I also plan to do a quick and dirty beer making for dummies post.

I have:

 King Crimson – Moonchild

 Whodini – the freaks come out at night

That tells you ALOT my my music taste.

Until I realized it was an april fools joke.

Makes you wonder if some freak of nature could throw the ball like that someday. Could you imagine being a witness to something like that as a scout or coach, and not be able to sign the guy? I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night until I could sign him to a contract.

It's a great read BECAUSE it's an April Fools joke

It’s such a well written piece of fiction that it worked both as stand-alone fiction and as a joke. That’s a brilliant piece of writing.

He was good at what he did

too bad what he did was lip-synching.

When you stop to think about it, which I just now did for the first time, Milli Vanilli were really just ahead of their time – do you think that in this day and age, when there are Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kanes running around, that anybody would give a shit about Milli Vanilli not singing their own stuff these days?

I think pdb's comment was more about how the type of fan they would have not caring about it

I still don’t think there’d be a huge uproar, because people are stupid and expect artists to sound exactly the same live as they do in studio. Thus, they’re grown to expect that a televised, live event will have pre-recording to some degree, as pdb mentions with regards to the Super Bowl, for instance

I believe it is called the titular line

I think he means

That the two examples I gave were almost verbatim from Urban Dictionary and that I didn’t preface the examples with a “from the urban dictionary”. But, as I stated above, I didn’t get them from the urban dictionary. Urban Dictionary got those examples from the Upright Citizens Brigade, which was what I was quoting.

I understand, but a dictionary is a reference.

I don’t really think you can rip it off.

True. I don't quite know either.

Perhaps the bucket of truth hold the answers.

But the dictionary I have is hardbound

And the urban dictionary is online. How do you propose I rip those in half?

Yeah

It’s going to do very well anyway, so I’m surprised they even bothered. I think that the type of person that needs to read a review of the movie before going to see it is not the type of audience that they are shooting for with the movie

Por Que No on Mississippi

Across the street from the T-room? Or down further towards you?

I know Su Casa is down Lombard near the Goodwill, and Margaritas are definitely available there. Is that what you were talking about?

I wasn’t sure if the T-Room served Margaritas, and if it does, that would be a pretty good place to get them then.

Across from the T-room, sorry

The place that used to be Encanto. I’m pretty sure the T-Room has a full liquor license…Su Casa has pretty good food but absolutely horrible margaritas, by the way.

I was hoping real hard that those things weren't real

But they most certainly are. I like when the ladies have them on backwards, extra funny

I have begun to prepare for Opening Day.

I forced myself to stay awake until 3am last night. I will do the same tonight, then 4am on Sunday to ensure that I am at peak fitness for this week of baseball. A slight spanner has been thrown in the works because I need to fit in an all day piss-up and climbing the tallest mountain in England [which isn’t tall at all but will take at least a day of time to do]. Fortunately we have Silva and Washburn pitching back to back, so it’s pretty safe to say I will be missing games 3 and 4.

Tomorrow I will desperately search out a place that will sell bottles of Sailor Jerry’s Rum as I intend to be sozzled for Monday night.

So you mean it was just that Raul wasn't able to adjust his relative field position to keep the tangent of the vertical optical angle to the ball increasing at a constant rate?

Oh, well now I feel bad for calling him a crappy defender. Interesting article on how our eyes, brains, arms and legs combine to track and catch a fly ball.

This is the first time that Opening Day will not be on free TV over here, and it makes me very sad.

Watching the game on the laptop just isn’t the same as watching it on the TV. I am gutted that free baseball has been stopped in this country and I am very surprised that MLB International allowed it to happen.

There are so many things I hate about the internet, privacy issues rank first and foremost

I wouldn’t have an inkling how to search a users history, I can’t even figure out where to find my own ISP address. I’d probably check the bill before I tried looking on the computer.

Yeah that didn't happen to me

But if that’s the case I’m never ever going back

How would you do that anyway?

I’m assuming ISP search, but how the hell do you get an ISP address off a blog spot comment? I don’t have an account there, just hit the chat button and some anonymous person said hi. Then “how’s LL?” followed by the poker question. Swear to god I looked at the window.

by Kermit. on Apr 5, 2009 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Were you playing Hold 'Em with anyone from LL?

Because it could have been somebody blind shooting.

Otherwise I have no idea and that scares the hell out of me

Nope, just LL on one tab and hold'em on the other.

Makes me wonder just how easy it would be for some hacker type to mess me up, just because I randomly crossed their path

by Kermit. on Apr 5, 2009 11:02 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah no shit

That really does scare the bloody shit out of me

Probably best to stay away from that site
