Escape to Vegas: Safety Tip

Hydration is very important. After all Las Vegas is in the desert. For
example, last night I neglected to drink enough water and I'm feeling it
today. I'm sore and my knees are bruised. However that might've been
something else.

EscapetoVegas pt.2

First order of business. Baker, home of the world's largest thermometer
reports a pleasant 67 degrees. This is probably the mildest it's been
on any of my trips to Las Vegas.
Second order of business, another change in plan. Derek called us to
let us know that he's trying to secure another hotel room for us. It
seems that our condo at the Jockey Club is full of extremely wasted guys
and they almost got kicked out last night for their noisy shenanigans.
Of course Vegas being Vegas and there being 5 conventions in town the
only thing Derek was able to secure for the next two nights was at the
Tropicana and my share is $125, and that's because we're splitting it 5
ways.
A cot bed, the wrong hotel, so help me there'd better be something good
on tv.

Scare Your Co-Workers

If you like singing kids, this will cure you.

It's OK, it's just Monday

Watch this, you'll feel better.

I would've embedded it, but it kept auto playing, and that would be sucky.

thePrisoner (blood tests don't lie)

If you are looking for a sign...

There's one.

If I were to say to you, "Can you keep a secret?"...

...Would you know just what to do, or where to keep it?

This morning's playlist for the kids at breakfast:

ABC 'Look of Love'
XTC 'Generals and Majors'
Devo 'Freedom of Choice'
Concrete Blonde 'Still in Hollywood'
ABC 'Poison Arrow'
Devo 'Peek-a-Boo'
XTC 'Senses Working Overtime'
Blur 'Song 2'
The White Stripes 'I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends'
Black Flag 'Jealous Again'
Wonderstuff 'Give Give Give Me More More More'
Big Country 'Big Country'
The Carpenters 'Sing a Song'


There's dancing and pantomime involved.
I just hope I haven't scarred them for life.

P.S. Happy Cheese Friday!

Times And Meanings Change

I know, I thought the same thing. I guess a 'dead hooker' is something related to construction equipment, you wouldn't see an ad like this today though, eh?

REALLY WEIRD TIRE AD

Old ads are funny, this probably meant something totally different back then.

Where on Earth is Nels Sandiego?

Quick quiz kids. Nels, buddy to The Smart Patrol, is on a road trip.
Can you identify this landmark? It is a real place with some kind of historic or touristy import, no prizes but bragging rights...Answer to follow...
