Not Sure if I Like it in the Can or Not

Impressive

Notice his buddy in the video mentions a 41" vertical. Lebron James has a 44" vertical.

100 Days

Wow! Slick just informed me that we have only 100 days left until the wedding.The countdown is now on.

Summer Lake Trips - Part 1

So the first lake trip was fun. We had a fish fry, not including any fish that we caught, because we didn't catch any. Instead of taking the boat to a bar, we instead turned the lake into a bar, using waverunners. A pretty good time. I about blew my ear drums due to the 12 speaker madness we experienced Saturday at the neighbors. Obviously my DJ skills need to be brushed up for the summer.

Trip One Letter Grade: B+

Contributing Factors (cons):
- No Fish
- No Coving (on the boat)
- No Bars

Contributing Factors (pros):
- Fish Fry
- Waverunner Coving
- Garage Party

Negative Correlation

I've been learning a little about positive and negative correlations lately through Slick's classwork. Here's one for you: The more the Royals lose, the less I watch ESPN or anything sports related.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho it's off to LOTO I Go

Welcome back readers, or should I welcome myself back? Either way, I'm back and it's good to have you with me.

Slick and I are venturing down to the big lake this weekend with the Shippee's. Remember them? There we will be greeted by a new couple that the idea comes has not yet been introduced to, Brentley. That little nickname was coined by none other than Ship Dog himself.

Plans for the weekend - South Bound to the 44
- Fish with my banjo minnows
- Catch Crappie
- Shippee teach me how to clean crappie so I can be a "real man"
- Drink beer
- Boat ride to a fun lake tavern
- Card Games
- Skinny Dip (depends on how much of step #4 takes place)

I'm excited for my first lake trip of the summer and look forward to a post or two on the weekend.

Stay tuned, Royals post to come later today.

Happy Birthday Kate

Happy birthday to little katy-wawa. All grown up and 22!

Vegas Return

This picture does a pretty good job of illustrating how I feel after the Vegas trip. Other than being completely exhausted, the trip was a success.

Slack got so smashed, 2 of the 4 nights she slept on the floor. I was proud of the youngster. Slick and I had fun showing her how to do it right. We each had our own night of debauchery to brag about. Mine happened to be the last night we were there and I managed to pass out at 10:30 p.m. Pretty weak way to finish the trip.

I did pretty good on the gambling front. I won all three of my final 4 bets, won $100 on slots, only lost $60 on black jack and then hit 4 of 6 horse’s on my last day there. I was pretty pumped.

The grand total of my 4 nights in Vegas was $342.50. And $60.00 of that is in outstanding bets that I put on the Royals to win the central. Odds on Sunday, when I placed my bet were 8 to 1. So I will win $480 if it comes to fruition. Monday, when I placed the bet for my buddy, ship-diggity-dog, the odds were 11 to 1. So if the Royals win the central he will make $440. I should have waited a day. Oh well, if there is a playoff game at the K this year, the $480 will be a consolation prize.

Grade for Vegas Trip 2009 = A-

Tonight, We Go To Vegas!

Slick and Family, as well as yours truly, will be on a plane to Vegas this evening. The trip is to celebrate slick's little sis' birthday. In honor of her 21st I will anoint her with a blog name, from this point forward, her name shall be "slack".

In vegas, I plan on placing a bet on two things:

- Chiefs winning the West
- Royals winning the Central

That will give me a little extra motivation to root my teams into the playoffs. Can you imagine a playoff game at the K? I can't, the last time it happened I was barely able to walk.

Did I mention I was going to Vegas tonight?

Early Adopters

Thanks to my sis for the alert on the fucking piece of shit.

Congrats Ship and T-Money

Two of my very good friends got married last weekend. I wish them many years of happiness.

Things I took from the wedding:

- Open bar is nice
- Top shelf open bar is very nice
- A&T know a lot of smokers
- A&T know how to throw a good party
- T is pretty hot

Again, congratulations my good friends.

March Madness Eve

Alleluia it is here. Along with the better weather comes a bundle of joy in the form of college basketball. How far will your team go? It appears I have an abundance of readers that are Mizzou fans or an abundance of readers that have no faith in the Jayhawks. Even Whitie is doubting the Jayhawks. When Whitie doubts the Hawks, you know it’s a bad sign. I personally have the Hawks going to sweet 16 and the Tigers all the way to the final 4 baby!

I hope everyone has their brackets in. The madness ensues with LSU vs. Butler at 12:20 EST tomorrow. I hope to get the least amount of work done as possible tomorrow. I hear that ncaa.com/mmod will have all the games streaming live and the site includes a “boss” button in case someone tries to peek over your cubicle.

Back to TPS reports for me.

Just Speculation

There are rumors floating around Kansas City that the above pictured individual is going to be the Chiefs new defensive coordinator. Everything has been done very slowly and very secretively in KC since the firing of the GM formerly known as King Carl. I guess only time will tell. IPIT.

Eastside and up.

Signing Off

I'm taking off tomorrow and Monday, so the blog posts will be few and far between. It's been a good week, hopefully I can bring it back strong again next week. For now, I have my mind on some early spring bass. I'll be at the lake tomorrow if you need me.

Night Train

Chuga Chuga Chuga Chuga Choo Chooo! Watch out for the KC Night Train this Saturday. We are rolling out to Lawrence in style for Ship’s bachelor party. We are scheduled to attend one of the classiest gentlemen’s clubs this side of the Mississippi. The night is guaranteed to include the following:

-One person sleeping in the bathroom
-One person losing this month’s paycheck at the Casino
-One person trying to take a stripper home
-One person spending this month’s paycheck trying to get a stripper home
-Ok, two people sleeping in the bathroom

Let the countdown begin. Chuga Chuga Chuga Chuga Night Train!

Looking Forward

To next weekend that is. North Kansas City holds it's annual Snake Saturday parade to celebrate the snakes being driven out of Ireland (I think that's what it's for). Here is the website if you're interested. I like how they say the parade will begin at 11:00 a.m. sharp, regardless of weather conditions. And I just found out that regardless of their wedding being the following weekend, Ship & T$ will be there. I'm excited.
