    Nope. One single vodka before you board, one single once you get on. I do not like flying and have flown a lot (have my reasons). That was the trick my boss taught be for transatlantic. Fell asleep coming out of Amsterdam, woke up in DC. I liked that flight.

    I hate flying. I do 2 drinks + the Xanax.  I haven’t taken a Xanax for any reason other than getting on an airplane in 10+ years, but I keep them handy for when I have to fly and be around other humans in an airport.

  2. Not gonna lie, I have purchased a trump piñata filled with airplane-sized bottles of tequila.  I was not chairman of the Texas Democratic Party at he time, but even if I was, I would’ve stilll bought the fucking piñata because it was awesome.

    I would have told y'all to avoid Oceanside because we've had a Mountain Lion roaming downtown the past week, but the poor fucker got hit by car last night and died..

    We had one in a parking garage at work one time and you would thought there was an active shooter given the reactions.  Mass hysteria, total chaos, basically the worst parts of the Bible.

    I'm trying to find it and will post it if I do, but about 10 years ago there was a show on during shark week (I think) that was about great whites that had a segment on orcas killing great whites by holding them tipped over and drowning them.  The show also talked about how other great whites could sense what happened and basically all vanished from the area because they knew they were turbofucked if they ran into that orca pod.  Off the coast of Southern California I believe. 

     

    South Africa.  I was there the week the orcas dropped a couple great white corpses on the beaches around Cape Town.

    You trusted your life to a minimum wage kid learning to weld.

    We didn’t go with the cheapest provider.  I’m willing to splurge a little for the company with a flawless safety record on activities that involve me being face to face with something that wants to eat me.

    Killed by great white shark would be pretty awesome on a death certificate.

    I’ve been a foot away from a great white.  There were very thick steel bars between us, but it was an interesting experience.  When you are suiting up to get in the cage there is a little safety briefing you have to go through, and one of the things that is discussed is that you shouldn’t try to pet the sharks.  Thanks for the warning, because I was totally going to try and pet the shark if not for this bit of last minute advice.  The fact that this was something that was worth mentioning tells me that someone had actually done it before and lost a hand or something.  First time in my life that I felt like, if not for this very robust cage, I would be on the dinner menu.

    Misspending trusted funds is a felony. 

    A guy I worked with for a very brief period of time, who was easily the shadiest motherfucker I’ve ever known, is doing 30 years for swindling folks on home improvement projects that he had no intention or ability to complete.

    First of all, what a fucking outstanding effort. It has never occurred to me to toss some eggs in the boil.  Do they taste substantially different than a normal boiled egg?   Also, are you hiding the andouille sausage underneath the crabs?

  11. So, a few weeks ago I busted my ass after stepping on one of my nephew’s toy cars in the middle of the night.  Majority of the damage was to the foot and ankle.  I was once a pretty competitive basketball player, so I’ve dealt with my fair share of sprained ankles over the years.  This one hasn’t healed like I was expecting it to.  Still not feeling great.  I can walk fine, but something is clearly not right with my foot.  Heading to the bone cracker this morning expecting the worst.  On a positive note, I met my deductible in January, so whatever happens should have minimal financial pain.  On a negative note, I met my not small deductible in the first month of the year.
