+K to reg for the different versions of the w/e.  JT's has to deal/barter for "the versions" often. But I have to give props to the future Mrs. JT for last w/e.  Awesome w/e all the way around, plus she suggested we do shots at the resort's bar on the last night of our stay.

PBR,

We stayed in the Wilkes-Barre area, near the Def Leppard show.

Haha, Mrs Reg needs a lesson in economics. If you're going to spend the money on the boat plus operating costs... then go all out! You guys could "hang out", read books and sip the vino at home.

PBR, this is only braves game #2 and Gro doesn't even remember the crowd doing the chop at game #1. Gro will be watching (read: drinking and listening to the PA announcer for important game related info) the game from the chop house patio.

Gro- MR is one smart cookie...she knows the catch is that one of us isn't allowed to go "all out" since there is still a boat that needs to get the back to the dock, legally.

So its either Reg going crazy...or MR funneling mojitos.

I am in need of some friends that I can use as designated drivers.....men need not apply- Thanks MGMT.

Re: the ULTIMATE smackdown

bravo LD, and welcome back. Can't say I remember that pic, but there it is. That night ended up with 'Gro turning himself inside out at some bar.

So much for staying incogneGro... wish I wore a mask to the game like this guy...

'gro consider this is like a intervention by fellow llppers in that we are concerned and worried about you....we dont want to you have a few overpriced pbr's and start chopping on the patio in hotlanta....

['gro]

too late for an intervention, the damage is permanent. Tomorrow Gro will see if it's possible to do the chop AND the wave at the same time. Catch the game on TBS.

[PBR...]

me gotz naughty by nature stuck in my head i heard someone walking by with their ipod cranked....i guess its better than having someone walk by with abba cranked or backstreet boyz and having their stupid songs stuck in my cranium

Random Thoughts: Homeless people

i've noticed recently that some of the best salespeople are homeless people.  these guys are determined, they are crafty, and they are always closing. They want that dollar that brings them one step closer to (insert beverage, drug, or in some rare cases food). I had a guy get mad at me for walking by him last weekend. He started his sales pitch "how you guys doing tonight, you look great". So we keep on walking w/o talking to him and he's yelling at us "that ain't right".  ok, so I don't have to give you money, but I at least have to stop to hear your story. that's how it works now?

Another story, last weekend my friends and I saw the same homelss lady about 5 different times over the course of day/night in all different parts of the city. It was spooky. I was waiting for her to show up at Gro's puppy kennel and ice cream parlor (formerly known as TM2)

And finally...
Q: What's the best part about dating a homeless woman?
A: After a date you can drop her off anywhere!

[PBR...]

thinks you mights be rights 'gro...when i was working in nyc this guy would sit on the street in the early morning waiting for the morning commute people and as i came up out of the subway he would talk nice to you and then if you got within 5 ft. of him and didnt put money in his jug he started screaming and cursing at you to force/embarass/threaten you to give him money...and he screamed loud!!! enough that everyone on both sides of the street would look...funny thing is i used to go in early to beat the crowds and finally to avoid having to deal with him(i took to swearing at him back after a awhile...) i started to walk up the other side of the street well he then started curse me out and scream at me on the other side of the street but i give him credit i always saw people putting money in his jug especially tourists....used to lmao watching these people from the midwest and south in nyc for the first time they looked like deer in headlights i thought these people in addition to giving him their entire wallets were going to to strip naked and give him their clothes....

In NYC some of them are working a big scam.  Like the "crippled lady" in midtown, near the posh dept stores.  She would lie down and put a blanket over her legs and have a sign, the whole deal.  One time the news followed her back to her nice apt in Brooklyn.  She was wearing a designer jogging suit at the time and walking fine.  The TV news watched her for a week and calculated that she was clearing about $700 on average.

Then there is this guy that stands near traffic entering the Lincoln tunnel during evening rush.  He has the homeless please help sign.  For a while he would hold the sign while listening to his Ipod.  After a week or so he ditched the Ipod.  JT figured the Ipod was hurting donations.

The only bums I really want to sucker punch are the ones that walk next to cars begging for money.
They are usually the ones carrying the signs

"Veturan...Broke, no food, famely left me....need money for insoolin."

They usually have the saddest face imaginable and some stupid limp.

I drove by a cat in DC a while wearing 5 blankets in 90 degree weather and I thought he was crazy and talking to himself.....upon further investigation...he had a freaking cellphone earpiece in his ear!!!

[finsleft]

Best begging sign I've ever seen, said "F#ck it-- I need a beer."
