It all depends on how sadistic the carny is with the bull's joystick. Drunks forget those things are machines with a hundred times their strength. I've seen people knocked out cold more than once. They're brutal. A hot chick gets department store coin ride speed, any guys gets "washing machine". A washing machine that punches like a Mack truck.
Yes!!! Are you local? You can come with. I will be victorious! We are going to all do it. I'm not afraid!
Far from local, but I was there last year. That's a great bull. Be careful getting into the pit - some of those mats are misleading. Also - the chocolate martinis are delicious and dangerous. Two other tips - the table-made guac at the Mexican place down the street is absolutely ballin', and if you go into the Gaylord hotel across the way, they will let you play the piano in their lobby all night.
We were talking about the Gaykord hotel! I thnink we will be starting at Bobby Mckeys and venture on over to Cadillac ranch. I didn't think there would be a mechanical bull to ride around here. Very excited. What do you mean by mats being misleading? I don't even know what that means. There was no foosball. Disappointed.
The mats that form the pit around the bull - some of them look sturdier than they are. In fairness, I was trying to fireman lift a 300 lb man over them, but I will tell you that some of them yield like cheap toilet paper after a curry dinner. That said, the ride is a hell of a lot of fun. If you can beat 1:07, you've outlasted a bunch of regulatory scientists and government reps (including the sexiest doctor of neuroscience to ever walk his way out of Wales).
1:08 is now my goal. Forgot my tshirt to sleep in. Have to sleep in tank top. Shoulders are bare. This is disturbing to me.
Damn in Georgia all we have are gun and archery ranges in our bars. Michael J. Fox's new show is painful to watch. Look, I'll be the first to point out his Parkinson's and make earthquake jokes but that's ALL this show is about. It's not even trying to have a plot line. But I have a good bit for the show where his family thinks he's missing because he won't answer his phone. They finally find him and he hadn't answered his phone all day because it was on vibrate.
So I went to see Thor with my pops. After the movie he was asking what the bonus scene with the Collector meant so I was explaining to him about the Infinity Gems and the gauntlet and how it'll likely tie in with Thanos and the Avengers sequel. Well a group who was following close behind us as we were leaving were apparently wondering the same thing so they asked me to start over since they only overheard snippets. Long story short I ended up holding some kind of mini-assembly in the corridor of the movie theater explaining Marvel lore to about 12 people. I think I just broke some kind of geek record.
Why is everyone losing their minds over this Batkid thing? Yeah, pretty cool, I get it. But I don't need to see 118 posts about it on facebook.
Maybe its because I've seen my siblings experience cancer, and maybe its because I'm well aware nearly every kid who has childhood cancer/disease doesn't get this experience, but the whole media sentiment behind the event seems frivolous to me, it seems shallow. This isn't some impulsive perception either, the reason I think this is because I feel for all the kids who don't get this experience, who suffer in anonymity. I am happy the kid got his experience, I'm glad he got a bit of joy. He deserves the happiness he experienced today, however the people who are observing this who are saying things like "this is a good day for America", "or good for San Francisco" are taking the sentiment way too far. I'm happy for the kid, I really am, but I'm disappointed that people are taking this HR piece and feeling some sort of satisfied feeling. I don't get it. Somewhere out there, there is someone in the media who saw a great HR piece and promoted the hell out of it. To think that this story is so huge because it is such a sincere good act is naive. Someone won PR points, someone gained votes. However those facts don't detract from the experience the kid had, which is ultimately the important thing. But lets think about how many great acts go ignored because they aren't as outlandish, aren't as cool as this one. If people really want to support childhood cancer victims, then reposting something on facebook about one lucky kid isn't supporting the community. Its self serving. Someone thought it was a cool story and decided to share it because they wanted to talk to their friends about it. I'm not trying to be a negative nancy, but it seems like the self gratification people who having nothing to do with this event or this kid are getting is ridiculous.
fuck you Guinness. Fuck you for being so delicious. Fuck you for making me ask strangers if tthwy would wax their balls. Verdict: the creepy giu who looks like Jay not Solent bob, would do it for five junfrdf bucks. The cutter guy has better scandals. He Wang's two grand. I was not willing to fund his efforts. Oops. Gotta go. Husband wants to bang.
I don't think they are, I just think that the people who feel the urge to go on TV or whatever and say things like that are the ones who don't really give a shit about the kid, they just see a chance to get publicity/votes/ad revenue/whatever. And sure, kids die of cancer every day so we shouldn't all pat ourselves on the back, whatever... fuck it. I think the fact that this happened is truly awesome.
As someone who has also seen a sibling have cancer, couldn't agree more. While it was nice, I'm sure the hundreds of kids in the cancer center in SF, hooked up to chemotherapy, were less than thrilled. And yeah, did the media just find out about cancer or Make-A-Wish? My girlfriend and a couple friends sent me the link and I just shrugged it off. Tomorrow that kid goes back to being on oxygen and racing against the clock to find some sort of treatment before the cancer cuts off his airway and kills him. She and most people tat don't have to deal with someone close to them being sick, just don't get it.
I will completely disagree. We have all felt the pain of cancer. It's common ground. So many people in my life have died from it (I had it at 33 and didn't die. Yay!). We can't give this batkid experience to every sweet, baby-child that suffers, but giving it to one is more than none. Let's just revel in the joy that this boy felt that day. Fuck the media and anyone who pats themselves on the back. They're not the point. THAT kid got a day with more joy than most of us will ever feel. I'll take that to bed with a smile on my face and a twitter in my heart.
Respectfully, you've got a serious negative bias against great small asses. I say this as a guy whose preference leans toward a larger, more muscled rear. I have dated skinny girls with asses like that and many of them were quite firm. A great thing. But then again, a great ass, in whatever form, is always a great thing.
Yay! I'm getting a second interview with the owner of a big name sports bar in town this week. Not the ideal job by any means, but I will be able to get full time hours, the average wages in tips are good, it is near my house, and they overlooked my lack of experience. I call that a win.
