Happy birthday, frostilicious.

Happy birthday, frostilicious.

YES!

What's the protocol when are you traveling and sharing a hotel room with a co-worker?Do you share the bar of soap with them?Are you responsible for removing any pubes or hair from the soap when you are finished??

Find a job that's not so cheap that they make adults share a room on a trip.

Seriously?

I've never had to share a room with a co-worker on dozens or maybe even hundreds of business trips.

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

Have never heard of this. Seems extremely strange, and there's no way I'd do it.

Lot's of uppities in here. These are usually trade show trips where we've got anywhere from 6 to 12 people going, all but one or two of them are guys. Maybe it's different because we've all been working together for 8+ years so it's not a big deal.

File this under: Stuff I overhear as a teacher but let go because it's funny:

My students just finished watching about 15 minutes of a video. They had a "quiz" to go along with it. We talked about the vid for a few minutes then I told them once they finished the video quiz they had to come up and get another sheet. I guess one of my female students was complaining that her leg was sore from soccer or something. This one kid, Jimmy, that is sharp as hell and just as funny had to chime in. I was on the other side of the room working with another kid. I could hear them but it wasn't loud.

Girl: Oh...I can't get up out of my seat.

Jimmy: You got a boner? I hate when that happens. Totally embarrassing.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

I'd share a room with any of you guys.

Although me rooming with Stryker might be problematic... the mini-bar would be absolutely devastated.

Actually, that would happen no matter what. Carry on.

Mini-bar fights would be one of my biggest concerns. I think I'd drag the whole rig into the bathroom and lock myself in.

2 rooms...2 minibars. More for everyone!

I love the P90X, btw. 2/3 of the way in tonight. Down 27 pounds.

Are you following the diet as well? Cut out wine? I'm mostly sticking to the diet with some slight modifications to the recipes. I'm slowly phasing out booze as well (had one beer after my workout last night and planned to do so this afternoon but it appears that Mr. YSR has hidden them all )

I'm following the portion plan pretty closely. I'm not completely militant about it though. still drinking wine pretty much like I always have.

 

[Oh Yes!]

so true

 

[Bob Sacamano]

wow, that's great. How did you get the P90X? Did you have to buy the whole set? I'm thinking about doing this, but I live in a town house and don't want to shake the entire complex with my workout. Do I also have to cut back on booze if I do this? And what does 2/3 of the way in mean?

I bought it on craigslist for 50 bucks. You probably should cut back on booze, but no, you don't have to.The plan is 3 months long. I'm 2 months into it.

 

[Frostillicus]

Anyways, let's talk about Amy S. I don't know much about her other than her "info" and pictures are set to private. Any chance she's a promiscuous girl with small hands and low expectations?

She was in high school. I haven't talked to her in like, 15 years. Go for it BGGZ.

I was supposed to do Day Three (arms and back) yesterday but because of the plyometrics, I literally couldn't get my legs to work enough to do the warmup, even. I kept feeling like I was that random kid on the playground who just falls down a lot.Going to do it in about 30 minutes.

I have two passes to an advanced screening of Jack and Jill tonight. I was planning on using those to get past the ticket guy, then ducking into a movie I actually care to see.

However, my options are these:

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 3D

Footloose

Immortals 3D

In Time

Paranormal Activity 3

#### in Boots

#### in Boots 3D

The Rum Diary

Tower Heist

I should probably just stay home and watch CFB, no?

Rum Diary is based on a good book? I've heard nothing about it, but at least you know the story is one of Hunter Thompson's best efforts.ETA: Reviews aren't glowing. Depp is supposedly good, but the source material wasn't translated well to film.

I may have to turn in my Cool Dude Card but I've never been a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson. I know that I'm supposed to love his stuff but about half-way through Fear and Loathing I lost interest. The funny thing is is that I like his more straight forward stuff like Hell's Angels. His "gonzo" works read to me like that thread over th:e:re where people told their funniest drug stories. It's probably hilarious and interesting to the people involved but it just doesn't translate well into good story-telling. JMO.

I understand. His work doesn't translate well today's times. He revolutionized journalism though (for the better, IMO) and was a scathing political voice for a long time. Narratively speaking, I find him very interesting. I wouldn't hesitate to throw him on a creative writing syllabus as an example of what the 60s did with Faulkner's stream of conscious technique. Faulkner, Kerouac (On the Road; the rest of his stuff is average or bad), and Thompson would make a very cool mid-semester reading list. Maybe throw in The Naked Lunch and present Thompson as Faulkner and Burroughs' their lesser gifted ******* lovechild.

$100,000 bet just made in the Survivor thread.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Frostorius, is Matt Z a friend of yours?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Just got back from 2 hour meeting with Cal's gang of teachers. One of them remarked "he can be so funny in a really sarcastic way but I don't think he knows what he's saying". I thought Mrs. SLB was going to jump across the table and strangle me.

Women don't understand genius.

They don't recognize idiocy very well either

If WalrusMan is banned when the winner is revealed, for saying that people like the contestant should be "killed for being Jewish snakes", does he still have to pay up?

The Harold and Kumar one could be funny. I didn't like PA3. Footloose was okay...definitely a chick flick, but it was funnier than I expected and Julianne Hough...JFC.

Edited. I'm going to stop being judgemental movie guy. Footloose sounds great and though I haven't seen the first two Panorama Activities, I look very forward to the third installment of this trilogy.

By any chance is this Matt Z is a young promiscuous girl with small hands and low expectations?

On the other hand, no way Cochran wins Survivor, so, really it's up to whether MK (who's one of the stranger dudes out there) is going to pay up when he loses.

I never got the love for Harold and Kumar.

Turned it off when the girls were farting/pooping and that was probably 20 more minutes than I should have given it.But hey....they have funny accents.

I wished Frost a happy birthday on facebook.

Also, I'd share a motel room with Tre. We both seem to hail from the school where the motel bath is really nothing more than a cooler for ice and beer.

I once tagged a chick on top of the motel bath filled with ice and beer.

The PAIA held an 'Educational Event' last night for about 100 people. The topic du jour was "Impact Investing: Defining what Matters". As a newly elected board member, my job was to procure the wine/beer. I bought 2.5 cases of beer and a case of wine. The event started at 4:30pm and was over by 7pm. Not one beer leftover and only a little bit of red wine. First time that's ever happened, I'm told. Usually, there is beer/wine left over which is consumed at the next board meeting, but not the case this go around.

Also, I might have overserved myself a little and made an inappropriate remark to the lone female board member over dinner.
