16-19 year olds running around in 3 inch shorts and cowboy boots. One guy almost got gutted by a bull, so I almost had a really good time.

Solid trip report.

I dont understand how you guys can go to vegas for a week and eat Subway all the time. You're in Vegas! No chain food! Aaahhhhhh!!!! I am such a jew.

Seriously, that's terrible. And let's talk for a minute about the fact that the two jews in here are a lawyer and a doctor (sort of, in 4 years anyway)...one lives in MA and the other in FL. Both love bagels*. We're really busting up all kinds of steriotypes, aren't we?*This is an assumption.

I can't stand the Beatles, so I am part of the everyone that did not check out the covers you posted.One of my roommates in college took a History of the Beatles class senior year, and for both semesters of the class he was blasting their albums all the time, non-stop. There were nights when he'd have one cd on repeat all night in his room. I literally cringe when I hear a lot of their songs.

Yeah well, I made a horrible play to start my poker nightas you may or may not know, in FL, the max you can buy-in with is $100. I buy in, see a round or two, finally get a playable hand. Blinds 1/2. Now, if you've never played in FL, SoFL specifically, the players are god awful for the most part. It's true. So, I get AJh in the BB. Guy opens for $20 in middle position. Seriously, it's $1/$2 blinds. Folds around to me, for some reason, my head says muck, just muck but I was bored and wanted to play. Hadn't made the adjustment yet from playing 4 online tables at once to seeing 6 hands an hour live. I call. Flop is K 10 4, one heart. Now, I check, totally ready to shut it down. I put him on two big cards or a Queens or jacks. Something he didn't want to see a flop with. Now, here is the confusing part. He bets $15 into the pot. I take that as he hates that king on the board or has AQ or something, so of course my gamble comes out and I show my remaining $70 with my backdoor flush draw and 4 queen outs if he's got the King. Of course he flips AA. Huh? Oh well, $100 down the drain.I buy back in, grind up to a $200 stack, so I'm back to even. Finally, in BB, I get AA. My buddy, who's in 1st position, opens the pot with $15. Now, he's the kind of guy that tries to tell you his cards so you won't play against him. He doesn't want to take each others money, etc. I wish he wouldn't sit at my table because I don't want his money, but I don't want to collude either. So, when it comes around to me, I reraise $100. Telling him I have a monster. He instacalls. Oh boy. So to again announce what I have, I go all in blind for my remaining $105. I think he calls immediately again. He flips Kings. Flop A K 6. Turn A. Only if that king woulda came on the river we'd be loving the $50k bad beat. Oh well, he was openly asking why we didn't check it down. Moron.Now my favorite hand: Limpers everywhere, I'm on the button with 89c. Flop comes 7 10 J rainbow. One guy in middle position bets $10. I just call trying to get full value. Probably four to the turn. Turn is a 4. Totally rainbow board. Love this card. Guy in Ep checks, mp bets $14, I raise to $50, ep checker flat calls. Huh? So I'm thinking he has the same hand. River, of course it's a jack. Now, he bets out $50. I just knew I was toast for some reason, but he only bet $50 into that pot so I made the crying call. He shows J4 for the boat. This fcking guy opened with a limp from 1st position with J4. How is that profitable? He had a stack as well. Just a card machine. Arghhhhh. That steamed me up. I stopped talking after that. Oh yeah, we had such a hot dealer at one point. Last one. Guy sits down, catches a set of nines against me in his first hand at the table and I missed my OESD. Lost the min. He even gave me 4-1 to draw on the river. I blanked. Guy makes like three more hands and has doubled his opening stack. Limps, I'm in the sb with K5h. I complete. Flop A K 10, two hearts. I bet out a $10, he calls, everyone else folds. I figured the bet out would disguise my hand if I flushed up or hit trips with the K. Turn is a black 6. I bet out $20 this time. He calls. Now, I know he has an Ace. I'm looking to shut it down, or get lucky. River, black Queen. Now, this puts a four card straight on the board. I don't see him having AJ so I fire out $50. This guy tanks for a second, then calls and shows A4. Oh my god. Are you serious? A 4. Holy shit. I nearly had an internal meltdown. I stayed calm on the outside. My buddy says "I thought you had the jack." Then that same buddy bluffed into this guy 10 hands later. Really? You tried to bluff that guy? So that my friends is how I lost $7 in four hours of poker. I hate this game. The only real beat I put on someone was when I rivered him for a gutshot broadway against his AK, although I did have all the hearts as outs as well. Sorry if you read this.

I'm not a big Beatles fan either, and this stuff sounds nothing like the Beatles. It's a bunch of creative (and each very different) covers of original Beatles tunes. The only consistency is that there is a ukulele on each track.Check out #24 "It Won't Be Long" by Ben Walker and #7 "Come Together" by Kirsty Rock, tell me you hate it, and I'll leave your deaf ass you alone.Here's the link again, you Jeepstering muthafuckas.

i read the first essay and enjoyed it. havent listened to any yet. will on monday though.

because most of them are? I guess it shows where my priorities are when I read the Army trip reports. I find the sex stuff amusing (and your openness refreshing) but I dont understand how you guys can go to vegas for a week and eat Subway all the time. You're in Vegas! No chain food! Aaahhhhhh!!!! I am such a jew.to quote Weeds: "how are all Jews not morbidly obese? everything revolves around food"

I ate Subway only one time. I ate buffet once at the Flamingo-lots of seafood and some sushi-horrible hostesses. I ate at the noodle place at the Venetian. That was very tasty and super spicy. I ate at the Burger Brasserie in the Paris twice and the burgers there were phenomenal. A number of other soldiers ate at the burger bar at Mandalay. I was at the tattoo shop when they headed that way. They said it was fantastic. I'd like to pit the Burger Bar with the Burger Brasserie in a taste test. The Brasserie's staff is friendly, young, sexy and the girls wear corsets, fishnets and hot pants. I don't know what the waitresses from the Burger Bar wear, but that outfit would be hard to top, imo. Another point in the Brasserie's favor was 2 for 1 drinks from 4-7. Of course we ended up at a number of the standard Harrah's coffee shops with the same food but different names. Meh. The food was pretty good, but overpriced for food that falls in the diner category. We also hit Margaritaville because it was in our casino. It was okay, but still a chain. It had a fun atmosphere, though. Normally, we hit one nice restaurant as a group, but this year we didn't get it organized. In the past we've done Cafe Babareba, Little Buddha, The Ranchhouse at Binions (this was recommended by locals and really did have fantastic food and classy surroundings), and Delmonico's. I know Jadaki hit a number of nice places with his friend and vvganeshavv and babyangel. Yeah, we sucked at restaurants this year.

Unstoppable.

So are we supposed to get a vaccine for H1N1 this fall? Is that the plan? Not having one developed yet is a problem. I think I had H1N1 already. I got a horrible flu just as the story about the kids in New York hit the news. I didn't know if that was what I had, but figured if it was a flu, my best bet was to just stay home until it passed. I had the cough and the fever. I did not have body aches. When I was recovered, I went back to work and asked our school nurse if she thought that was what I had. She determined that the absence of body aches made it unlikely that it was swine flu. I'm still not sure, but whatever flu it was I came through okay. I just didn't go anywhere while I had the fever to keep from spreading it around. I also made a point to wash up even more than I already do when I went back to work. I wash my hands ALOT because I touch kids' library books all day.

Wow, what an incredible game.Matt's team got to the finals with a 7-0 record and played the No. 2 Steelers in the finals.Redskins got off to an 8-0 lead (two point convert for a pass, one point for a run). They make it 8-6, we go up 15-6 and on the final two plays of the half they go the length of the field and at the half we're up 15-13.Second half, they score first to go up 20-15. We get the ball to start the fourth quarter and march the length of the field. Three-minute whistle goes and we have the ball, third and goal on their 1-yd line. So with three plays left, we FUMBLE the damn snap and they get it back.So now there's time for maybe two plays. I'm thinking we get a safety then have one play to hope for the miracle. Instead, they FUMBLE THE DAMN THING BACK. So we get one shot at it and we punch it in for the go ahead score and a 21-20 win.Crazy.

All these good plays have gotten me super excited to play today.Gl to me.

O EM GEE .4% of infected people have died!!Last night before I drank I had about 32 OZ of iced coffee, unbeknownst to me, that induces horrid grammar. I will reconsider posting if this scenario arises at a later date.I watched Role Models late last night, it was actually a pretty funny movie. The character that Paul Rudd plays is how I picture Wang sometimes. A person who takes things very literally, gets annoyed by things like ASAP, FYI, and Starbucks calling a Large a Venti. I could also see Wang re-enacting a fictional battle scene and then punching/pushing the main guy when he cheats.

I believe I am slightly cooler than you think I am, but maybe I'm just even more egotistical than I think I am. I have not seen Role Models, but I met Paul Rudd in 1997. He went to highschool with my debate teacher from Kansas, and he popped in one day. Nice guy. I asked whether it was awesome to make out with Jennifer Aniston. He said that even though he was pretending to be gay, yes, it was awesome.

You mis-interpreted. This is not a slight on your coolness. More an observation on your disdain for people taking the easy way out. Just like when you IM, you would not type IM, you would type instant message.You would have to see the movie to understand the fictional battle scene thing, but that is just acknowledging that your perceived coolness could be overcome by your inner nerd and your desire to win and be correct.

The thread has a totally different feel with all these new people/army people posting. Cane and VB should tell stories about how they suck or something before they are allowed to post again.Also, there should be a new rule against any soccer or hockey posts.
