I feel like #BBN will show up thick for St. Louis, as it will be pretty 'new' for most everyone...at least for that type of weekend. Western KY will come in droves, it's just as close as Nashville.

The Nashville SECT sentiment is pretty common & growing, I was just one year ahead of most. Doesn't mean it isn't awesome, though.

I mean, I like a nice room, but spending much time there in Vegas is low on my list. Pretty much rather find a good deal on the strip and blow that loot on other indulgences.

Got my room for UNC game for under a hundo.

^ same. Linq was perfect for me last time, and right in my little cheapo GAMBOL area.

Lass is going though, and the hotel is the favorite part of *any* vacation for her, she's weird. Will just open up more time for me to play -- still trying to get her to love it out there, so that we can return.

-Karl Anthony Towns is amazing. What a unique and special kid.

My credit card rewards game is a bit stale. Pretty much blew through most of the good ones last year, canceling a bunch now. Have decided to stick with 4 with fees. Naturally keep the free ones.

Chase Sapphire-all dining and travel
Amex Delta platinum-delta flights
Amex blue cash preferred-grocery and gas
Capitol One Venture card-for all other charges

Currently efforting some buddies to bite on the Vegas trip. Those dudes do not like leaving the state for some reason, plus having kids doesn't help.

Put a easy hundo on the over (9.5)BOS/COL game last night. Hit 10 top of the 9th and put my phone down. Wake up to look at my gambol for the day...put that money on the under by accident. So instead of being up $100 now I'm fighting to get back to even.

Memorial Day weekend, cheap Hispanic ******** from Miami [banana]. Can't wait. That's alright I'll just price gouge them to make up for it.

Chicago a week from today. So pumped to get off the rock for a bit and away from talking to people.

Alright...where are you all staying in Vegas.

Prolly book flight and room over the weekend. So far, the lass is going. If I can talk her into staying home[banana].

Only fair, she did a girls trip out there last fall.

We've got a nice little stock pile built up and have essentially taken the last year off with little man. So we should be pretty solid past the 24 months. Especially with Sloot. We did forget to cancel a couple during the deep sleep deprived days and got hit with the annual fee. So that was dumb.

^ all you have to do is send a secure message asking to cancel the card, that you are no longer using it, and to refund the annual fee. It works 100% of the time, as long as it's within a few months of it posting.

Going to Vegas for my nephew's wedding in late Sept, so the UNC game is off the board for me.

I'm trying to convince the wife that we need to do one of the 2 NYC games.

Of course I just got a $1700 dental bill (after insurance), we're getting a new mattress this weekend and apparently we "need" $2,500 worth of new furniture for the kids' rooms.

Another year of putting off finishing the basement. Probably gonna cost around $50k. I wasn't expecting that. Might not happen for a long time.

On the plus side, I will actually save $4k/yr because the oldest child will be attending catholic school next year. Yeah, day care is expensive.

Touch me.

Me for the past year - "Our computer is an outdated piece of ****. We need a new one."
Wife - "Works just fine for me lol."

Wife takes up photography again, realizes our computer is incompatible with everything she needs - "Our computer is an outdated piece of ****. We need a new one. I probably need a new camera, too lol."
Me - (Seething with rage and general impotence)

You know what you should do? Buy a new house. Apparently "while we're at it" includes a new computer and you barely even notice it!

Marriage. Sounds awesome.

I give props to Adrian, at least it seems like he got the better end of the deal.

Drew Franklin just texted me w/ some potentially hilarious/awesome Eli Barron news.

His plan is to have a KSR show out there for the practice round -- and bring in sand for a beach themed bar/party hole off to the side of #12 w/ live music and Bar (the hole Killa & I live on), and keep the party going there into the night on Friday [laughing] -- says he wants it to be a mini Phoenix #16 w/ people booing, drinking, and raising hell all day long.

This sounds pretty ambitious, but would be pretty amazing. Killa?

The only doctor financial stigma that Bob is missing is an expensive divorce. Might as well get on with it and it'll give you a reason to rename your next boat something ironic about alimony.

You guys keep hounding this dying alone bit...

There is no guarantee that even if you do all this stuff that your family will all be gathered around you in some Norman Rockwell painting as you transition on to the next world. Very commonly that heart attack or stroke will creep up and take you down while you're by yourself, out on your run, shopping for a new computer, wekking it while the wifes not home.

But whatever makes you feel better. TSA for the soul I guess.

When is RedAss coming back to the Eli? It needs to happen sooner rather than later. Also, I'd like to see Doc, SliceBag, Adam, Cawood, etc... make the trip along with the usual crew.

☆Played some of the fake craps in Cleveland. Hated it.

☆Can't imagine the shenanigans I'd pull on that hole all boozed up and Xanaxed.

Sure some of you cant pull that weekend?

Some days the Charlie Sheen lifestyle (non AIDS) seems pretty cool. Even with AIDS it could be pretty darned sweet.

Besides, E. Coli will kill us all before the AIDS.

Sorry, you'll have to forgive the ignorance of those that grew up in Lexington and have never been to Madisonville.

I am off that week, so it would be plausible...but that's also Raft up on Cumberland...guess it depends if my boat is fixed by then.:weary:

So apparently there's a whole subsection of crazy on Facebook that is the "yard sale" groups. Basically topix with pictures and real names.

I recommend Vegas for the 4th of July sometime. Went out 2 years ago with some buddies who were playing in the WSOP events. What a touching scene Drai's Beach Club was on top of the Cromwell. Complete touching circus. Google image search that....yeah

These $200 round trip flights out of Cinnci are just so damn temping. If I was Chad, I would be in Vegas once a month. I can easily cram my swimming trunks and a few outfits in a back pack and avoid $0 up-charges from Allegiant.

The UNC game is going to be a good one. From the sound of it, BBN will be well represented out there. That trip is a no brainer .

Well buddy, considering 4 of our Grandparents in the last 3 years have all had rocky last few years and depended on there kids to care for them... I'd say it's pretty likely. To each his own I guess, granted you're right about one thing -> You're certainly on the random heart attack pace.

BTW, your time is coming big guy. That hot piece you been with for 3 years ain't waiting around much longer.

CHAD: the Magazine used to be a poor mans Maxim.

Now it's one of those super glossy, thick papered business and lifestyle magazines. Comes out quarterly. It's more of a coffee table book than a reader. Mostly just add for high end products. Pick up yours at the local New York Life office today.
