Scotch?!?!?!? The lady asked for Grey Goose vodka martini, not a boilermaker, you barfly...  :uhsure:  :-)

Barfly? You insult Johnny Walker! I know of no barfly that could afford Johnny on the Rocks, as it is at least $3.50 a shot in the cheaper establishments around here! Black is $4.50! Barfly's drink the cheap shit! Tastes a heckuva lot like dirt!

Since when is 3 days and $500 a frikkin' vacation? The last time "Toots" took the grand kids to Disneyland, Knotts Berry, SeaWorld, it cost me roughly $1300/kid! And I have 5 grand kids!!!!!

The guys low rent!

Sounds like a good vacation, although my next trip to California won't include Knotts-anything.

yeah, too bad I couldn't go! the Ranch just can't run itself. I haven't been gone more than a weekend in 10 years! But, hell that's what grand kids are for and "Toots' got some great video of the kids swimmin' with the dolphins! it was worth every penny!

This lady will never go near Scotch!

I might as well drink a bottle of Ipecac....same instant effect.....and same after question? am I dead or alive?
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

That sounds eerily similar to my idea of paradise: an all-chocolate amusement park filled with happy, horny right-wing chicks and an open bar. Friggin sublime...

My friend, that is called "heaven on earth"! :cheersmate: :cheersmate:

DUmmies should work on providing something of value to the world before complaining about how others spend their.

Why didn't the OP DUmmie go to the Habatat for Humanity Depressing Theme Park?

I thought that would be the number one destination for DUmmies world wide since I first heard about it some years ago.  You don't have to worry about $4 Pepsis because you don't get any food.  I think the only thrill ride is being blindfolded and kidnapped and held for ransom.

That was my point, my dear, ( no insult intended, I assure you ), Vodka is for those who whiskey, scotch, bourbon, will have ill effects. I find body weight and muscle mass tend to slow down the process of huggin' the "throne".  Usually our feminine conservative sisters, to my delight btw, don't fit that profile.

At the DUmp, maybe not so much.

I really wasn't giving you a hard time about it.... :-)

I can't drink any of the darks....yet I can drink tequilla.

Used to be a quality "shot" drinker of tequilla...then I grew up and it just made me super feisty.

Which is a very polite way of saying "bitchy".... :evillaugh:

A 100,000 in the park.  :whatever:

Whenever these quacks start spouting off about how many people were at certain protests, remember this as an example of how well they can guesstimate.

Went to the park with my family in 2004.  It was fun and things are overpriced just like you expect them to be in an amusement park.  So what?

ToKillYer, does that to everybody! When I was younger, I used to drink "Slammers". A shot of tequila with just a touch of 7up. You slammed it on the table and made it fizz, then downed it! problem was, you could drink a dozen before ya knew it!

Yes I have a memory, back in another lifetime, of those little devils at a Carlos 'n Charlie's in Xtalpa Mexico....

We were in a travel group of urologists that were all connected through either med school or residency....15 of them(one was Reagan's urologist while he was president). We were on a trip there, and it was someone's birthday that day, so most of the group went to C n C's that night for dinner.

They set little metal buckets of beer all over the table, and several of us were also drinking margaritas, that I swear could have been used as fishbowls!! (this was after spending the afternoon out in the sun) When they found out it was a birthday celebration, they brought out these funky kind of glass pitchers with spouts like teapots. Waiters got up on the table....(this was after dinner) and walked around the table top....draped a towel around one's neck, and started pouring sangria into said person's mouth. The waiter would start with the spout near the person's mouth, and slowly stand up keeping the sangria flowing. The guys who had been good at drinking out of wine botas in college were still good at it. (at least I had sense enough to not do that  :thatsright:) Then came out these women....with double bandoliers around their chests. Instead of bullets, they were filled with shot glasses. And full bottles of  rotgut tequila. Rumor had it, that 24 people went through 4 bottles of tequila. We danced all over the place...then went back to the hotel's nightclub...and had more.

I had no idea that a concrete floor covered in tile....could spin up and down so much....

I don't think I drank a margarita for about 6 or 8 months. Took that long for me to grow a new stomach lining....


I"ve gotten much smarter in the last 20 years..... :uhsure:

What I did on my Summer "Vacation":  
 
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 09:58 PM by PCIntern

I just spent a three-day weekend in Hershey, PA for a variety of reasons. The antique auto museum was worthwhile, as was the Hershey Museum - a bit biased in favor of corporate America, but...hey...what do you expect when the guy wills 60 million dollars for a school for fatherless boys in 1923...do the math...what's that today - like a billion?
Sounds like he donated $59,999,999 more than you did.
Quote
But OMFG...the Hersheypark experience was unlike any I've seen in a very long time: tens of thousands of people - no exaggeration - maybe 100,000 - I don't know, it was MONSTROUS crowd, each paying 40 dollars plus to get in...and then spending all day drinking 4 dollar Pepsi's (1/2 ice, BTW) and 8 dollar popcorn (kettle corn, with tons of sugar and salt...delicious but a KILLER)...and 12 dollar sandwiches and fries...just unbelievable. And yes...a bottle of water was about 3 dollars...most folks were pretty dehydrated on Saturday and drank and drank. Horrifyingly obese people wearing bathing suits which were ill-fitting in the water park, vicious conversations among family members, grumpy parents, tired kids, weirdly frighteningly nightmarish rides that were altogether rather safe (thank God) - but some waiting times were almost an hour for a 3 minute adventure...some queues' signs stated that there could be a 3 hour wait...well, I guess those awaiting the ride could read The Nation or The New Republic AND the NYT whilst in line...yeah...that's the ticket...
I'd rather read 40 year old "Archie" comics than any of that crap.
Quote
Stayed at the Hotel Hershey...if I never see another chocolate bar, it'll be too soon...everything wrapped in chocolate, smelling like chocolate (bath soap, all desserts, hand creams, etc.) the meals were a fortune, the rooms were a fortune, the vending machines were 2 bucks for a Pepsi or a water, and there was nothing for free...nickled and dimed to death. They tell all the staff to say 'good morning', 'good Afternoon', 'good Evening' and if you walk past 30 staff, you have to say back...well you don't HAVE to, but I'm polite as Hell, believe it or not...so a walk to get some ice from the vending room (Sorry THAT was still 'free') entails conversing with at least 8 people, none of whom were guests - can't really criticize people for being corporately polite I guess...most of the guests were distinctly unfriendly even when I would say a word to someone in an elevator. some really boorish and lots of McCain/Palin stickers and Bush/Cheney AND...get this one Reagan/Bush sticker ON A NEW CAR!!

Wow to that...
Rates right up there with the "Obama/Biden" and the "Gore 2004" stickers I still see.  Welcome to America.
Quote
As I said at the outset, the antique auto Museum was remarkable...but the 'virtual tour' of the factory was horrendous...they put you in a moving vehicle and have fake assembly lines and lecture you on the nutritiousness of candy bars...it works though...the gift shop was overrun with people buying all sorts of confections including but not limited to, a 5 lb. Hershey Bar...for 39.95! Plus tax of course...
You take a "virtual tour" because lawyers and gov't regs prohibit actual tours anymore.  
Quote
And they'll sell you a pic of you in the little car touring the 'plant' for 13 dollars! A bargain!
Cheap at twice the price.
Quote
Don't forget the Reese's Peanut Butter cup t-shirts...on 11 dollars for you to advertise their product! Did you know, for example, that that particular orange of Reese's was copy written in the 1970's? I sure didn't...I thought the color spectrum was public domain...but what do I know?
I hear International Harvester and John Deere did the same thing.  Big whoop!
Quote
I'm tired and have to go to bed...but I'll say one thing about Hershey, PA...it is the damnedest cleanest town I have ever been in...you can almost literally eat off the floors...the public places sure as heck are cleaner than any hospital we have down here in Philly, let me tell you.
I'm sure that will improve once "Obamacare" is fully implemented.  Hershey Park is right in the middle of Amish country.  Surprised he didn't mention any "religious intolerance" while there, or maybe that Reagan/Bush sticker was on the back of a horse and buggy.
Quote
And that...was what I did on my Summer 'vacation'
You forgot to mention that you bitched about it on DU, DUmmie.

I spent the weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway watching NASCAR racing.

Spent $130/person for the tickets, spent a wonderful evening with 155,000 fans of 43 different drivers.

Brought my own drinks and eats.

HAD A BLAST!  

Looking forward to doing it all again next year, starting March 2011.   :-)

You went to Bristol?

 :bow: :bow: :bow:

I've only been once, and like you say....it was a blast!!

I heard that it looks like tickets are going to be easier to get for March, because of the economy. They aren't yet sold out.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

They came closer this fall than they did in the spring, they only had 133,000 or so there then.  BMS holds about 165K+, and my guess is my $365/each season tickets will be cheaper next year.  But for that price, you get 5 days of racing.  I went to 3 of them this year (truck race + both Sprint Cup races), but if the friction between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch heats up some more, I may go see some Nationwide series races next year.

We went to the Friday race, several years ago. A guy who did a lot of my foreclosure pest inspections/treatments, had 4 tickets for both days for the March race, and last minute couldn't go and offered me two tickets, on Thursday for the Friday race. They were for seats in one of the corporate suites, it was like we were hanging above the track. What an incredible experience!!!

Used to be a quality "shot" drinker of tequilla...then I grew up and it just made me super feisty.

Which is a very polite way of saying "bitchy".... :evillaugh:

Lime Vodka, Southern Comfort and Cranberry Juice...nectar of the gods...or straight shots of Tequila with lemon and salt. Of course, I make killer Margaritas. But a little Jack in my coffee around the holidays isn't bad either.

Lime vodka and Southern Comfort in the same glass?  :bow:

The lime vodka sounds delicious....the Southern Comfort would put me in a praying position.

I love a good margarita....on the rocks, not blended. Sadly, RB's daughter told me how many calories were in them.... :bawl: I don't pay that much attention, normally, to calories in alcohol, but when she told me 1500 IN ONE....and who can have just one? and have one without chips and salsa at a minimum?....  :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:

Holy shit, that place looks depressing. That's not a vacation, that's a guilt trip.

Also, since it's in Georgia, I assume Jimmuh has something to do with it.

Our seats are in the section above turn 1, about 3/4 the way up.  Last year, we got to hold up the placards that made up the American Flag when the National Anthem was playing.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
