Be careful though GM, my boss came back from there a few weeks ago and said there were a lot of cops staked out on the highways around the wineries.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Definitely make sure you're eating. And if you happen to spill on yourself, ask for wine-away. I found out about wine-away at Darioush around 1 in the afternoon after two previous tastings and no food yet.Be careful though GM, my boss came back from there a few weeks ago and said there were a lot of cops staked out on the highways around the wineries.
Couple of questions...1. How many times did you drive through?2. When you say your car has never been cleaner, you mean only the exterior right? Because I imagine you in this situation and your dashboard looking like the inside of a snow globe.Ran some errands yesterday and on the way home there was a charity car wash being done by a local high school's cheerleading squad. I stopped.Bikini tops and Daisy Dukes. My car has never been cleaner, and my spank bank overfloweth. Thanks girls.![]()
The only time I come across the "good" ones are when my wife's in the car.It's the only time she doesn't think that the car is dirty.Ran some errands yesterday and on the way home there was a charity car wash being done by a local high school's cheerleading squad.

Terrible.Hi guys, my name is Bob.We went to the casino between the wedding and reception on Saturday and I made a big whiskey for the ride.

Stone Hill?So I came home today and my wife hands me a notecard. She is equal parts perplexed and excited as she hands it to me, perplexed because the note is from somebody named "St. Louis Bob" and excited because the notecard came from a gigantic box of wine from Missouri! Holy hell, did some guy from the internet really send us a case of wine? Man, I love you guys.Bob, dialing....
I didn't even reach for the cup until we were on the highway, fully anticipating a mildy cold whiskey. I was in a suit minus the coat and it was about 150 degrees. My mouth was watering in anticipation and what was about an 18oz drink was nothing more than little water in the bottom of the glass.I considered calling to complain but I didn't put the ticket under my name because I didn't feel like spelling it.MF'er missed the HB at least.Times like this I think of Vincent Vega, "It would have been worth him doing it if I could have just caught him doing it."Don't mess with another man's booze, kids.

Typical. Lost a couple of hundred bucks and destroyed my liver. Never really up or down.I did play craps one night for about 2 hours and was never more than $50 above/below my buy-in. Had a great time though. 5 or 6 young dudes at the same table were in town from St. Paul, Minnesota for a bachelor party. Every time one of them had the dice I came up with a new nickname for him "Come on, Kirby Puckett!" "Let's go, Mankato, we need a 4!" "Hot dice, Prince, hot dice!".Not at all.

Choked and didn't get the A kicker on any of them. It was a nice hit though. How did you do in Vegas?

I love craps because it is so social. When the groom-to-be finally showed up the table his buddies pointed him out. He gets the dice a couple a minutes later. I said "Here we go. Good luck to the new groom." He says "thanks". I pull out some FFA shtick with "You poor, dumb SOB." His friends were dying.That's awesome.Typical.

I appreciate the offer.

WA LA!!!I used priceline.com today for the first time and boy oh boy, what a neat contraption! I 'named my own price' on a hotel room in the French Quarter for October, punched in "$95" per night and WA LA I'm staying at the 4-Star Marriott - New Orleans. Man, I wish I had tried this service out before. Shoot, I'm just mad at myself for not punching in $5 a night.
Who wants to help me plan my honeymoon? I cashed in frequent flier miles and got two one way tickets to New Orleans for October. From there, we are renting a car and heading back up to Oregon, hitting as many National Parks and must see attractions as we can along the way.
So far, we're staying in New Orleans for 2 nights, then up to Baton Rouge for a wedding, then up to Jackson, MS to see my alm mater and to eat at my favorite two restaurants in Jackson, then we are on our way to Dallas to catch up with old friends. From there...well. I'm not sure, exactly, but a quick look has us going to Carlsbad Carverns, then Truth Or Consequences, NM for some Hot Springs Hotel action, then Petrified Forest, then Flagstaff for a night or two where we will check out the Sun Crater Volcano and Wupatki Ruins. Then, I think we're going to do some wine tasting in the Santa Barbara area (where they filmed Sideways - Shootah > hi!) and are looking for a place to stay there. Then up to San Francisco to stay with friends, but we absolutely want to do some wine tasting in the Napa/Sonoma area as well, so any tips here would be greatly apprecaited.
Then....I have no idea what. Ideas for the northern part of the state would be awesome. Should I go up 101? Should we target Shasta? You tell me. If I'm missing some stops in New Mexico or Arizona (I think we're going to bypass the Grand Canyon. I've rafted through it and would need more than a day to enjoy it, IMO), let me know. If there are areas in California that I'm leaving out, sell me on them.
My wife is a photographer, so we'll update the trip with many pics and narrated stories along the way if you guys are interested. Should be fun.

You and I would have an absolute blast at the craps table.Last time I was in Vegas there was a dude at the table who was Ty Willingham's doppelganger. Within ten minutes I even had the dealers calling him Ty.I love craps because it is so social. When the groom-to-be finally showed up the table his buddies pointed him out.

This is good fun. There was a trust fund baby in A-city throwing around mommy and daddy's money at the craps table. He was getting pissed because we wouldn't tell him why we were calling him "TFB". The more pissed he got, the longer his roles seemed to last, the more drinks seemed to come his way, and the more obnoxious he became. It was a fun and profitable cycle until the chick on his arm either got so drunk she needed to leave or led him out by the head of his shvantz. We couldn't come to an agreement on which it was, but either way we were all sad to see him go.I love craps because it is so social.

Do NOT press the vuvuzela button while watching that.:explodinghead:
I received this text from GM the other day:
My son just deepthroated it. FML.
Hopefully it was the known gay that did that.I received this text from GM the other day:My son just deepthroated it. FML.
Seriously, just chalk that one up as a loss and focus on the brother.Hopefully it was the known gay that did that.I received this text from GM the other day:My son just deepthroated it. FML.
