You can complain about retail. I can complain about working in shipping. On top of the Christmas weather not being so jolly in what's little more than a garage, we are also busy busy busy and people are just as stupid when it comes to shipping as it is shopping. One example is that some people think that it's acceptable to seal a package with scotch tape.

Also OS because this has to be a separate post. It may please you to know that "This side up" and "Fragile" and whatever else you've written on your box doesn't mean anything to me. Shipping companies put a little sticker on your box, and the sticker faces up. That's it. If it's heavy, there's a yellow sticker on it. And if it's fragile and has a liquid that could break inside, it has about 40 big red stickers on it.

I have quite a few funny specific stories though.

Nope, I was expecting something actually personalized. Idk.

Instead it was just another Canadian joke.

.....yeah, that's about right.

I just wish I had EE's aura of badassery that allows him to ward off all the jokes.

that i can't give you.

You could gain some if you walked around downtown winnipeg in pink flannel, but there's a good chance you could also die.

So, trade off

Were you expecting another "Let freedom ring" flag?
dang Dark Horse you sorta topped me on this one. I really goofed on this. Oh well I set the joke up to disappoint Raz and I'm nothing but happy with the result.

Raz I'm just mad I ordered 3 things from Canada and shipping was a billion dollars and also they took 11 days and also 1 of htem is taking longer

I think you guys are sort of missing the point, i wasn't saying we should cover all our bases, I was saying that you should all be wishing each other "happy AdumbroDeus' birthday". Obviously.

Quick self-centered interjection time:

Going to Vegas in two days for the first time since I've turned 21. Any recommendations on what I should do while I'm there? Things like buffets (especially ones with sushi), shows, events, casinos, etc come to mind. No Limit Texas Hold'Em with low buy-ins ($50-$100 minimum) would also be nice if anyone knows where that kind of stuff goes down.

Note: I'm staying at Planet Hollywood.

I'll pass on strip clubs and things of that nature. I'm a gigantic prude, what can I say? (Not really, but I find strip clubs distasteful and a complete waste of money and time in just about every respect.)

I'm using only $100, maybe $150 for gambling, going any higher seems like I'd be setting myself up for problems.

Sooo, yeah, recommendations please! #Vegasn00b

holy **** when I was in vegas they had like
****ing
amusement parks
built under everything.

Restaurant? Amusement park in the basement.
Hotel? Amusement park in the basement.
Toilet? Amusement park in the bas-

okay.

You get the point. It's pretty funny. Also, hotels have shows outside during nighttime or some ****. I saw this pirate-themed hotel and it had this pretty amazing thing going on at night time.

Vegas was fun. Still have my Vegas souvenirs from years ago.

I actually know exactly what you're talking about. There's definitely a pirate-themed thingamajig over there, but I can't remember what it's called for the life of me. And yeah, Stratosphere as well as New York New York have amusement park rides in them...shiz is cray, but hella expensive.

I've always wanted to see Penn & Teller and that'd be quite the experience.

Random topic time!

I've been thinking about the show survivor a lot and how I would go about winning the game. For those familiar with the show, how would you play the game?

I would essentially play the game like I would play scum: establish my worth early on and pinpointing which players have the greatest chance to make it to final 3 to make sure they don't make it there. I also have a very likable personality irl and I think that would benefit me in avoiding votes.

I'll be the loader. Establish a strong alliance with someone who isn't manipulative, but smart enough and was good at challenges. Let them carry me to the final 2/3. Hopefully I'll be just as good at challenges so that some people may think that I also "deserve" the million. Otherwise hope that the other person is Russel and thus is so hated at that point that the jury just picks me out of spite of the other guy.

What? You're supposed to know your Santa Claus roots, son.
Which lie in Sinterklaas, who handles Black Petes to do his job.

Common knowledge bro. Widen your horizons.




note: this is not meant to be racist. Generally, children are told they are black from crawling down chimneys. Originally they are dark skinned demons who Saint Nicolas tamed. #themoreyouknow

For the actual show, find a Day 1 alliance and stick to it. Those are always incredibly powerful and for good reason. Beyond that, just try to stay on the right side of the numbers.

For forum Survivor, post asstons, never lie. For some reason people are particularly hostile to you after a backstab when nothing's on the line, but when it's $1,000,000., they're pretty cool about it. (I got 4th though, so I was close)
