  1. Childs play. Me and a buddy would sneak into the "employee room" when the teenager employees were busy playing grab ass with each other at the Games People Play on 1960 in Houston . They kept all the loose tokens in a 55 gallon trash can. It must have been like walking into Fort Knox for an adult. We would load up as much as we could hold. At first we would just hang out at the change machine and sell other kids 5 tokens for a dollar. Realized that was just too small time. Next step was taking as many tokens home as we could and rolled them up in the old school quarter coin wraps and took them to the customer service booth at Gerlands and walked out with cold hard cash. Not long after, Gerlands somehow went to the clear plastic coin wraps for some odd reason. I like to think I am the one person in the world who caused the banking industry to make that change.
  2. I love their briquets for simple grilling. Cheaper and burns way better than all the rest. Been harder and harder to find though. I usually only find it in Academy of all places.
  3. Halloween party 2019. ‘Nuff said on my feelings about Cap Quint. Army surplus store for the win.
  4. Right handed. Crank with right hand on baitcasters and left with spinners.
  5. Thank god my kids were before the Peppa generation so I never had to contemplate that one. My first impression, LAZY.
  6. Does it bother anyone else that the cartoonist had to put the other eye on the whale hanging in midair/midwater like we wouldn't be able to understand that the other eye wouldn't be visible from that angle? I don't remember, did Larson do that with his animals?
  7. “Unreachable” my ass! Damn Cam Young air mails the green with a 3 wood 278 yards out and can’t get up and down for the playoff. But I’m not bitter or anything!
  8. Fair enough.
  9. Flounder meeting smol trout. Flounder meeting 18” trout. My son was here this weekend giving her some small scraps which she seemed to enjoy (nothing left) but these live ones she hasn’t quite figured out yet. No, I wouldn’t let her eat those, they had to go back, but I did give her a sand trout about the same size as the first pic but she’s just not sure how to handle something like that yet.
  10. Confirmed suckage at Caesars. I didn't play since I was showing a couple of 21yo's around for the couple of days we were there. Looks to be like 8 tables or so with 4 or so tv's. Looked like playing in a cave. If you like playing in isolation I guess you will not be deterred but I like the "openness" of the old room and others that are open to the casino. I'd be surprised if it lasts more than 6 months but I guess if they don't have a tenant for that space then it would just come down to payroll to staff it determining if it makes any money or not. Another concern would be drink service since they are nowhere near the casino floor for a rotation but since I didn't play I don't know if they had it or not. If not, that would be the death knell. Also noticed that there was two or three tables in the left-front portion of the Sportsbook where they looked to be playing tournaments - no idea why they would do tournaments there. Didn't get over to PH to check out that room unfortunately.
  11. Once a year for me for our tax return and 1000 times a year for my ex wife printing out mapquest directions. Map in the glove box too complicated.
  12. That number has to be negatively affected by the dumbass drunk tourists that drive off the seawall every year. Also I think we are averaging 2 or 3 fatalities per year of golf cart riders being killed by drivers (not sure all of those are the car drivers fault because there are a lot really dumb ass tourist golf cart drivers acting like the city streets are their personal playground.)
  13. That location looks horrible for Caesars. I'll be there Wednesday night so I'll check it out. To be honest, the new room at PH looks great (on an upstairs level) but I never played there too much back in the day when it was on the main floor of the casino. I'll check that one out as well this weekend.
