Well, if we're doing Bad Idea Jeans, I railed Freddie Fender's daughter in the men's room of the ferry landing in Port Aransas, Texas. And I knew she was riding with the Bandidos at the time. And since my job was to direct traffic at the ferry landing, I was a sitting duck in an orange vest.

You did pretty well with US Hay though, right? What about Amalgamated Spats?

Jebus, I need to get an Instagram account.

Moderately nsfw

Good grief.

What's good in Vegas restaurants these days? Don't need super-fancy but just very good food. Last time there we spent way too much at Bouchon and were very underwhelmed by it. Heading out Saturday just for a few days' relaxation (and poker for Mr. krista).

Heart Attack Grill.

America it it's finest. Burger is really good (actually true)

Since I vowed to refrain from posting in the airplane thread, I'll just leave this here.....

Slow locusts.

Really liking this as a band name.

Walked by there a couple of times on this last trip. Wife commented that if you didn't eat the bun their burger would fit into a low-carb diet plan.

Don't worry. I'm sure you were her first ferry traffic director.

I knew a guy who knew a guy that was supposed to be Freddy's illegitimate son. Actually true.

I just answered the door and it was a guy running for Alderman. I had a nice serious conversation with him. Oh yeah, I'm wearing the cat shirt my Mom gave me for Christmas.

Wait a minute - you have a cat cyclops shirt? You know this ties in with Dylan, right?

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Ended up meeting BFF, his wife, FIL and his GF and BFF's parents for a late lunch early dinner yesterday. Good joint, new development by the river. BFF's mom says "this would be neat to live here in one of the condos overlooking the river with these restaurants, bars and stuff right here. Well, if you were single and didn't have kids and stuff" Total deadpan I smile, nod and say "it would be neat to be single". She loses it laughing, face literally in her arm on the table. BFF is doubled over and GF is looking at me with a weird smile on her face. I didn't realize she didn't speak English.

More to come.

We had an entire draft in here. I think the nerd threshold is pretty high

This seems like a lot of social capital to be burning for a little cotton. Are they made of spun gold or something?

I have the 5th spot

Thoughts

I have no idea how to value players for the auction b/c only a certain pool of players (we don’t know who yet) will be in the auction pool….but since I have more money than most, this is where I can clean up.

As of right now, I would think Votto and Puig would be my keepers (possibly Fernandez?)

Any other thoughts in general?

I'd stab a prisoner right now in the neck for a good crawfish boil.

Prisoners or crawfish?

Friend's wife is coming home in a few hours. Although true, she may not believe the origin of the black lace g-string if she was to be the one to find it.

That's something he's gotta get out ahead of. 2 minutes after she gets back, "BTW honey, at some point in the coming weeks you're going to find a lace thong somewhere in the house. Let me explain..."

Probably didn't forget, per se, but lost in the heat of battle.

The horniest girl I ever dated didn't wear underwear. Aside from the benefits for me, she said she did it because it made pleasuring herself at her desk at work easier. Ymmv.
