KR likes this picture of Damon's wife better:



Must be cold in the dugout this time of year.

Here's a fuzzy backside view:

so, who's going to go out today and buy candy and flowers at a huge discout? um, me neither.

[Regulator]

Enginegro,

Don't think we all don't want details....in fact, Reg wants details from the entire LLPP.

What happened yesterday?

['gro]

Reg, tuesday was just another day. GGF (pronounced, in your best that 70's show Fez voice, 'Gro's girrlllllllfriend) is a student and waits tables to make scratch... V-day is a most lucrative day in the world of waitressing so she worked.

Gifts and nookie were exchanged over the weekend (no details there, both parties spent less than $30) and a dinner is on tap for tonight or tomorrow. boo bam.

[Regulator]

Gro,
Please don't use the word Lucrative and Waitressing in the same sentence.

That is like saying the "move out day of college is a bums shopping spree"

['gro]

regulator always hating on things 'gro-related. But you're right and that's why you get +k from me.

Re: college move out day
A goldmine. People do not take advantage of this event. A below average income family could re-furnish their house (or trailer, ha) for a rediculas low amount, including renting a u-haul.

RE: Vday

JT's currently at $430 for Vday (Michael Buble' tickets, flowers, and Jaques Torres chocolates) and he hasn't even paid for dinner tonight.  The full damage will be reported tommorrow.

Damn JT!!!
Reg has been thinking all day about how he could possible spend that much on a day that means SO LITTLE...
I mean think about it....did Hallmark and a few restaurants get together a while back and say..."Hey how do we get every couple in america to blow crazy amounts of money during the slow season between new years and summer?.....I've got it!!!  VDAY!!!!

Dinner was $163 with tip.  

The Buble' tickets (a Canadian that sounds like a young Sinatra) did JT in.  The dude booked one date at Radio City Music Hall.  He sold out in less that a half hour.  Gal really wanted to see Bubbles (JT calls him bubbles).  JT was bitching, "How come the sorry SOB can't add another date or two, he sold out one date in 20 minutes?"

Gal took this to mean that JT didn't want to try and get tickets.  JT wound up paying a premium on Ebay, but the seats are good.  

There is this nice little community theater in DJ that JT and gal like.  We have great tickets to Earth, Wind, and Fire, George Benson, and the Marijuana-logues for about what JT paid the ticket broker Bubbles tickets.

Enginegro,

What happened yesterday?

Quiet night at home, grad made dinner for mrs grad and did the whole flowers, card and small gift thing.  Big dinner was supposed to be this past Sunday, but Old Man Winter put a damper on it.  Make up date scheduled at later time, mrs grad wasn't happy with Mr Winter but was very understanding.

[Knightstalker]

Mrs. Stalker had grad class last night.  Stalker gave the little stalkerette a big heart shaped brownie for VD.  Stalkerette decided to share it with her honorary grandparents who are also the landlords.  The told KS to go on upstairs and they would call later when it was time for brownies and coffee.  KS had leftover pasta, salad and PBR's for dinner.  Brownies later, Mrs came home, put kid to bed, Mrs fell asleep with kid, KS took shower and watched Flava of Love and drank bourbon.

JT, what theater is that?

[JT]

Bergenpac in Englewood, used to be the John Harms theater.  http://www.bergenpac.org/

[lewdogg11]

LD11 bought some colored construction paper and made WTFF a real Valentine, old school style with tape and written marker and what not.  Went over HUGE.  I mean, when is the last time YOUR girl got a Valentine since grade school?  Gro don't answer that.  Your girl is only 15 right?

So anyway, I also got a helium baloon, a real card, a box of 'Turtles'(The little chocolate, nut, caramel thingies), cause I wasn't sure what she liked and i kinda like those, and we ordered take out froma  japanese place for $33 which I tagged on the company card since I had to work in Maine earlier in the day.  

We are both flying to NC tonight for a little vacation.  LD11 has come through with flying colors once again.  

Grand Total:
Construction paper:  $3
Balloon:  $3
Card:  $2.50
Chocolates:  $12(ridiculas)

$20.50

KR's V-day expense report:

Cheesy Hallmark card: $4.99
Reservation for Jacuzzi suite the night after KR and Mrs. KR finish their semester: $100


As far as activities go:

KR went for a run with the Mrs: $0.00 (unless you include $80 last V-day for Mrs KR's mp3 player and $45 for KR's)


On the way home from the run KR discovers his car is gone from the street where he has been parking it since July.

Panic ensues, KR frantically calls Des Moines PD, DM PD promptly arrive 70 minutes after call is placed (must have been bad traffic the 4 miles between KR's apt and the PD).

Little Asian Cop (LAC) arrives and takes down license plate, description of the vehicle and KR's info. LAC radios dispatch to send in the info.
Dispatch can't comprehend the spelling of KR's last name, LAC spells out last name 4 times.
Dispatch finally comprehends LAC and requests LAC and KR to standby.
Dispatch comes back 10 minutes later saying KR's car was towed that morning because it was parked illegally.

LAC informs KR that despite no signs saying so, cars can only be parked on streets for 24 hours max... yes, even small side streets that have yellow lines demarcating parking spaces that fewer than 50 cars drive down all day.

KR asks why this has not been a problem as the car has been parked in same/similar spot with very little change since July. LAC laughs and says in his best Kim Jong Il voice, "maybe officer have lonely valentine day." KR fails to find humor in LAC's comment and or accent.

Mrs KR and KR goes downtown to fill out paperwork to get car back and pays $20 for said paperwork. KR then receives a $15 parking ticket with the paperwork.

KR goes to impound lot and gets to pay $45.00 for towing and $9 for a day of storage. KR attempts to argue this saying it was only 6 hours, so he should have to pay 1/4 of $9 fine. Fat Angry Redneck Towtruckdriver (FART), fails to see the logic in this. KR decides to get this over with and pays FART. FART then says car is out front. KR looks all over out front and can't find car.

KR returns to ask FART where car is, FART laughs and says "my bad its in the back." In the back means a quarter mile back in a junkyard samwiched between a rusted out nissan pick-up truck and what's left of a burned out dodge neon.

Due to change in scheduling, KR and MRs KR have Taco John's for V-day dinner instead of romantic homemade dinner at home.

Final costs:
card: $4.99
Hotel res: $100
Paperwork: $20
Parking ticket: $15
Towing: $45
Impound for 6 hours: $9
5 Tacos and pop at TJ's: $4.80 (gotta love 59 cent Taco Tuesdays)

Total: $198.79

Spending 4 hours of Valentine's day with LAC and FART... priceless.

KR is lucky he does not live in NY metro area.  Tow and storage around here would have cost KR 100 to 150 bills.
