Bacon Fiesta

[Andara Bledin]

What was the name of it? We probably book for it. I know we have a couple that are total dives but they always offer discounted rooms to distressed passengers. ( Emerald Suites <shudder> )

Alas, the place in question (a motel, actually) is no longer operational. I don't know whether they've put it to the ball, but as of 2004, it was shut down, and the property had been sold.

Origianlly named the Mirage, it was known for most of its existance as the Glass Pool Inn. There are a cople of sites out there that give it prominent mention with some great pictures of the pool itself.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Me: "<company name>"
SC: "…hello?"
Me: "Hi, can I help you?"
SC: "wrong number, sorry."

10 seconds later

Me: "<company name>"
SC: "…….."
Me: "Hello?"
SC: "wrong number, sorry."

<snip>

Me: "<company name>"
SC: "……hi."
Me: "Hi, can I help you?
SC: "Sorry, I keep dialing the wrong number."

My best friend (S.) had a call like this. At her house. From some woman who said she was sitting outside to pick up the baby she was giving up for adoption.

My friend has never had a child.

S told this woman so.

The "lady" argued with her, as she could not *possibly* have gotten the number wrong. She was, after all, sitting in the driveway in front of the mother's house.

To manage to sit in the driveway (behind the *condo*), in front of my friend's house (lawn, surrounded by a horseshoe of duplexes), would be an amazing trick of quantum physics.

S hung up on her. She called back 4 times.

When asked, she admitted to using the redial.

Finally, S told her, "Look at the number in your hand. Hang up. Dial it exactly as written. Do not use redial.."

Woman never called back.

omg.. for somereason i now have the mentle image of a slightly overweight 40 year old eating bacon off Ron Weasley.....
And i hate you GK because it obviously came from you

Ohhhhh....that's....wha?...Slice that's just that just has so many levels of wrong! Damn! Now I've got that image, too.

Here's what we both need -

[Sliceanddice]

Its still GK fault... or Tophers.... most likely GKs...

I'll just take your tickets, grab the neighbour's cat, tape them to his face and let him loose. It'll be just like The Incredible Journey. But without any real set destination and no endearing voice over by Michael J Fox.

As entertaing (and disturbing) as the rest of this post is, the mental picture of a cat with concert tickets taped to it's face, running around yowling is about the funniest thing that has run through my head tonight. Thank you.

I have many talents, I assure you. None of them are remotely useful, but I do have many.

Same here.

We're meant to be... :swoon:


No, seriously, I'm not a stalker. I'll behave now.

Ooh, could there be a CS wedding someday? If so, can I come?

You like bacon, don't you? Of course you do. You live for bacon. Pork products give your otherwise desolate life meaning. You probably have bacon in your pants as we speak. A fistful of it you bought from 7/11 2 hours ago. You gleefully ripped it from its plastic restraints and shoved a slimy ball of it straight into your under thingies. Heck, you're probably dialing the wrong number because your fingers are coated in rich buttery bacon sweat.

Ok, I hadn't realized just how disturbing that imagery was until now....I just saw one of Wendy's Baconator commercials.

Caffienated bacon? Baconated grapefruit?

No, seriously, I'm not a stalker. I'll behave now.

Dammit Graves!! How can I fulfill the karmic call if I can't take you out for sushi?...Hmm...Perhaps I'll just take you out to Stanley Park to graze...

You can watch me sit & drink beer

[Andara Bledin]

.......<closes his blinds>.

Dammit! Now see what you've done?

.....

Bacon!

This is.... different...

[Becks]

Ooh, could there be a CS wedding someday? If so, can I come?

Of course. I'll send along the bus.

.......<closes his blinds>.

Dammit! Now see what you've done?

Should I avoid threads started by GK for a while?

What kind of land is this where you can't pretend to be in the Service just to get a discount on meat-flavored gum?

Also...
Need! Meat! Daddy!

Wow, that seems really wrong in that context.
Meat flavored cookie to whomever can remember where the hell that came from. (Oh, I remember, I do remember. I'm just curious to see who else picks up on bizarre one liners like that.)

Las Vegas is a dark, dangerous place illuminated only by the light cast from sequines and neon. By the time you make it to the hotel you'll be dressed in nothing but a feather boa and nipple clips with a coat rack between your legs to serve as a horsey as you ride up to the hotel with a casino Bunny Girl riding behind you. You won't remember what her name is or where she came from, but she does have your wallet.

And she'll have your last name along with your wallet.
It *is* Vegas after all.

( No I don't know how she can't afford the bus but can afford a cab. I also don't know why she didn't just request a taxi van or two cabs. Also, if the cab can't seat 6, what the hell kind of car does she own that does? )

But, homeless men take the bus!

Vancouver's got a pretty goddamn good transportation system, just like Seattle except it's not a hub system with only one hub. We both got electric buses, too.
