mmmm.....Bacon


A claim is put to the test

So many times in college and after I made the claim, "bacon [also cheese] makes everything better." burgers, salads, baked potatoes, etc. People would make claims of food that wouldn't be good with bacon and I was like, "No, that would be good" No one actually made me try these claims. Until yesterday. I was in Portland, OR for my birthday [old + 1] and we were bar hopping. We were on our way from Henry's [which closes at 11:00pm] and Kell's Irish pub. During this trip we passed the famous, or soon to be, voodoo doughnuts. This is a famous doughnut house that is open only at night makes unusual doughnuts. There I saw it, a Bacon Maple Bar. At first I dismissed the doughnut as just a novelty item and I went looking for a tasty option, but then i remembered my claim and I felt i needed put it to the test. I [loudly] claimed that I would try this doughnut and prove my claim to be true. So i bought it. It took a couple bites to get to the bacon but once I did..... DELICIOUS! yes. it was very very tasty. I encourage others to try this doughnut and let the world know that, YES! bacon makes everything taste better.

Leaving Las Vegas


Things we missed

Mercado wondered into a gated community next the Hard Rock. Get got chased my a security guard and had to jump a fence.
After yelling at the Manager at ghostbar, Nelson's girlfriend went back to the Bellagio and yelled at the Manager at Light. She somehow got one of their nights comped.
In order to meet up with a girl, well woman, Oliver set up a "group hang" at a restaurant. Everyone bailed until at the end it was just Oliver, myself and 2 older women. it was a date.

vegas day 2


7:06pm

Mercado is carrying around a cooler like my step mom used to when we went to the beach growing up.
The Huskies lost. Fuck Louisville
A woman grabbed her very attractive 14 year old daughter and walked briskly away after overhearing Mercado and Oliver discuss the legal defenses for Statutory Rape. "It would be worth it." was said during the conversation.
Oliver spilt half his cup of soda/alcohol on Nelson's crotch. Nelson let it marinate. He looked like he pissed himself.
Our Hotel offers Prime Rib for 5.95 24 hours a day. I bet it's tasty.

Vegas 4


3:41am

Oliver steals beers to impress chicks. It's definitely a way to meet classy chicks.
I steal McDonalds because kids are annoying.
We met Seven Thetas from Montana all staying in one room. I wonder if they have pillow fights in their underwear? They met Zack Morris. I was very jealous. I don't know what I would have done, I would have been like a girl meeting New Kids on the Block.
Mercado lost all his money for today. He got the key from Oliver and went back to the Hotel and got tomorrows money. It's gone now.
I have ate like 5 times today, and only once was I hungry. Seriously I am sick of Mexican.

Vegas 3


7:51pm

Mercado has taken Oliver's place as the drunk one. Earlier he wanted to get away from Oliver because he was being an ass. Mercado is now being an ass. The words, drink this. drink this! have been uttered many times. Mercado made me go into a Quick-E-Mart so I could buy something to pound with him. I called him Trevor.
Oliver has awoken from his drunken slumber. his head hurts and he is mad at the closet door. He would like me to mention that he has kicked the shit out of the closet door. So apparently, Oliver is tougher then the Closets at the San Remo Hotel and Casino. Oh which by the way is Becoming the Hooters Casino and Hotel.
We have discovered that there are 20 members of our college Fraternity here in Vegas. I don't see this ending well.

Vegas 2


4:17 pm

Oliver, feeling he needed to support the University of Washington Basketball team, decided that he needed to buy a Husky hat in the Las Vegas airport. They were 2 for 30 or 21.99 each. I now have a hat too.
1. Oliver spit on a six year old girl. Accidently he says.
2. Oliver has been Kicked out of one Casino. He was too drunk at the BlackJack table and apparently placing a Pint of Gin on the Table is not allowed at New York. Though they still served him another Gin + Tonic.
3. Sue is the Nazi Dealer from New York, New York She doesn't like Oliver or Me, She told her Pit Boss on Oliver for Swearing at every hand.
4. Oliver Broke his gin + tonic glass while stumbling out of New York, New York, after getting kicked out. He spilt the drink on himself before it hit the ground and shattered.
5. Oliver spits on another girl to prove that he doesn't give a fuck, and will spit on any and every girl in Las Vegas.
6. Nelson talks on the Phone while pooping. Has to go when it's time to wipe.
7. The Fiddle Faddle Girl that Oliver chased down in the Hotel is too good for the San Remo Hotel and Casino and Apparently Oliver too.
8. Oliver passes out in our hotel room. 4:21 pm.

Wait for ME!


our wacky adventure begins

so it's 10:35 am and the plane hasn't even got over Tacoma yet and there is a need for an entry.
So I am very responsible and we get up early and have my sister take us to the airport with plenty of time for any security line and such that may delay us. when we pull up, I notice that i forgot my wallet. yeah i am not joking, i really forgot it.
So Oliver goes on ahead and My sister hauls ass back to Kirkland so I can get my wallet. We make it back even though the remaining members of Ratt in their 1985 Ford Mustang tried to stop us.
I meet up with Oliver at a Bar in the Airport where he has been accompanied by Nelson and Jackie (she got there a moment later, she forgot her cell phone in the car) We get sojme drinks and head to the plane at 10am. 16 minutes before our plane is supposed to leave.
O: we're right on time.
Flight attendant: we were about to leave without you.
Oliver and I walk through the cabin while everyone looks at us while we wheel our bags to the back where our seat is. as we are sitting down, Some Douchebag a couple seats back, Says, "why don't you sit down so we can get going." in a totally asshole way.
O: the plane isn't leaving for ten minutes, calm down, dickhead.
So the plane hasn't even taken off and we are already about to get in a fight.

Oh and I shit you not, Our Pilot's name is Captain Oats!

Free Booze!


The Plane Ride to San Diego

On the traditional trip down the aisle, The Stewardess asked me what I would like to drink. I said. Quickly responding without thought, I’ll have a coke. Then as if rehearsed, “do you have any Whiskey” I know they have whiskey. I have had a Jack Daniels on the Plane more then once before. But I wanted to act is if the thought had just occurred to me. So after a quick overview of the current inventory, the Stewardess responded with a delightful, “how about Jack Daniels”
“That would be great.” I responded, noticeably more formal then my usual speech. I like to act as if I was raised in a classy family when in a public setting, though my close friends will testify to the contrary.
I went to pay for the small bottle of Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey; delighted by the fact I was not asked to present ID. (Side note, I now realize this is another sign of my growing age, though this is a topic for another entry.) I handed the Stewardess a 20 dollar bill, it being the only bill I had. Politely the Stewardess said that she would return to give me my change. I left my wallet out to remind me that I needed to get change for my drink.
After a few moments and completion of the small bottle of booze, the stewardess returned asking if I was going to have another. I decided that I was not. So I responded.
At this point, I was politely informed that there wasn’t enough change and I was handed back my 20. I immediately felt this was a sign that I should have another.
“Oh then I will have another” I said trying to be helpful in this situation.
“No, that’s alright” I was greeted with in return.
With that I was given back my 20 dollar bill and had gotten a free drink.
I continued to read my Time Magazine and enjoy the Coke and last bit of Jack left in the cup. After a minute of this, the can of Coke combined with cup of coffee and beer I had at the Airport, I needed to use the facilities, (the pisser, to you less sophisticated readers) I made my way to the end of the plane. (Yes the end, I don’t have first class money, though if you wanted to send me some feel free) near the restroom, though the health issues brought up by this are not investigated, was the Beverage cart.
I felt that this was my opportunity to make amends for my free beverage and decide, after using the restroom, to ask for another drink. I am handed the little bottle, with a smile, and I hand the 20 to the stewardess. This is when I go for it.
“That’s for this drink and my last one. Also you can use the rest for any other people might want.”
“We can find you change, sir.” The stewardess responded think I was upset.
With a smile, “No, I insist, I want to pay for other’s drinks.”
“Alright.” She said surprised by my generosity.
So I returned to my seat happy that I could get my drink and that I could maybe make some one’s day.
Though I returned to my seat and my drink I didn’t return to reading, I had reached the main article and felt I was not up to the task of reading such a large article. I decide to save it for later. Instead I just relax, knowing that my flight to San Diego was coming to an end.
I had not sat there long when the Stewardess returned as they began to clean up for landing. She set on my table a 20 dollar bill and said, “We’re not going to let you pay for these.” And she went off to the front of the plane.
That was the final period at the end of this story’s sentence. The last word you might say. I decided to fight no more, I put the bill in my pocket and accepted my defeat. So though I was unable to brighten someone’s late night, I did get two drinks for free. Maybe I didn’t care about the money. It was after all my sister’s money.
EPILOGUE:
During the final pass through I was putting my tray table up. Which by they way is it really that important that I do that? Is this a major threat on our domestic flights? Were the first few flights filled with tray table injuries? Was there a lost eye? That is the worst injury in old timer’s talk. I wonder if there is a study that backs this up. Well that’s beside the point, as I was putting my table I up. My elbow flies back, it’s uncontrollable, right into the stewardess. It just goes to show you that she should have taken my money. Alright, my sister’s money.

How I got to the Nation's Capital


The adventure begins.

So i made it to DC alright, if you were worried. It was an exciting trip there is a lot to see out the window of the airplane between Seattle and Washington. Well there would be if there was any light. Yes, I took the red-eye and missed seeing everything from the Corn Fields of Nebraska to some big body of water i crossed that i couldn't tell what it was. And that great view of nothing came at a cost. I decided that i needed to switch seats from my great Isle seat to a window seat. For my switch, i got sit next to a nice older lady and her creepy Granddaughter. this was the type of person that didn't wipe the gunk out off the side of mouth after she ate ice cream or wipe the crumbs off her gut. Oh and oh how she wanted to talk to me. I had to throw my iPod headphones on so she would get a clue So what did i do during my wonderful 5 hour (or eight if you take in to account the time difference). Here you go:
