You seem perturbed

I am.



Being an Aaron Rodgers truther is a tough life.

Or grimey as lkj liked to be called

I bet he does not appreciate that

So I've taken the plunge and come Monday I will be the newest disciple of the church of DDP

Good luck stalking The Undertaker's wife.

It's a good thing!

couple weeks late but damn this is a good impression

I'm not a big impressions guy/fan but I'm a huge mark for Macho impersonations. That was 5 stars.

Here's a good one (some language NSFW) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Jy2tAwVw0

No kidding...right now I'm sitting in PF Chang's with the family waiting on a table, I open up the Macho Man impression to listen, and a guy sits down across the waiting area wearing an old school Macho Man shirt. Odds of that happening have to be a few million to one at least.

The odds of someone setting odds on something like that have to be a few million to one also.

And yet, here I am Grimey.

Heading to Vegas for the first time next week (10th-14th) for the first time since I moved from there four years ago. Don't really have a plan. My bro-in-law splurged on a room at the Bellagio and meeting a few friends out there and asked if I wanted to come with. Two year old at home with one on the way in a few months? Snap Call.

I'm not a total jerk, have my wife's full blessing and all that. Maybe I'll do a "Wrestling" only trip report. Don't expect anything spectacular, I'm a below average 1/2 player at this stage of my life, but I have been known to have a gambling blow up here or there that could provide some entertainment, lol.

Ping Pang Pong at Gold Coast for some elite Chinese food and a wonderful Dim Sum cart. Seriously.

First time I went to Vegas in 2008 (as an adult, went as a 17 year old for a family reunion) I stayed at Gold Coast. Ate at PPP my whole trip. The rest of the food in GC was terrible though. But, I liked the built in liquor store. Gold Coast is near and dear to my heart because of that first trip.

One of my favorite places to eat in Vegas on The Strip was Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay, but nobody ever talks about is in trip reports or anything so I feel I'm missing out on some solid burgers elsewhere. Still going to go there this trip, but going to check out at least another burger place too.

These types of prices like <40 and more like <25 are what you could expect from my meals on this trip. But, also want to splurge one night since my bro is letting me stay at an elite hotel with him for free.

I'm going to be bummed next time I go back there - all my favorite dives have been torn down or remodeled into something else - Bill's Gamblin' Hall, IP (Linq) and O'Sheas

I played at Bill's around 10-15 times, but can't say I'll actually miss it, lol. I've always wanted to try to play for 24 hours straight, which i'm sure most reading this probably have and/or don't think of it as too impressive. Bill's was the closest I've ever really came, of all the places in the world. A group of three Aussie's sat down at like 1 pm and those three and I were the last ones standing at 5am the next day when we all decided we had enough. One of my big takeaways from my time living in Vegas was walking out and seeing the fountains of Bellagio going while the sun was just starting to rise and there was nobody at the fountains or really around on the Strip at all. It was just a surreal moment as I was only a few weeks into living in Vegas at the time.

Also, a lot of times I would park at Bill's when I went downtown for the evening. It was just super easy for me to get in and out of there. On the way back in and to the elevators I was always mildly afraid of I would stop for a few hands of VP. I hit more 4OAK's there than anyone else and often times it would make a losing night turn into a slightly positive one or take the sting off. I'm not even a VP reg, I think I probably just hit once on the way out and then made a tradition out of it.

IP was never for me, I went just a couple times to say I would. I do remember seeing the entrance area flood, so that was something. I once heard someone say that was the lowest part of Vegas so all the water met there. No clue if that's true but I did know it flooded a lot.

O'Shea's...always had a good time there and was fun to degen it up there. Honest, some super fun times there. I lived there when it shut down and decided to go downtown on it's last night. Holy Crap, it was insane to the point I didn't stay too long but I remember the bartenders just giving away bottles of liquor to people.

Osheas probably has a few of my favorite Vegas memories, which is kind of funny considering how dumpy and unsanitary it was. Sad it left us.

Beer pong there during the world series was always full of crazy shinanigans and big name online pro appearances

Yeah, I wend down there for some of the beer pong stuff as as spectator. I think I recall Deeb's team winning or making a big run.

I watched The Room after catching up on this thread last year. I was intrigued by the awkwardness and awfulness. I decided to read the book, The Disaster Artist, which was written by the costar, Greg Sestero, about the making of the movie. This was one of the funniest books I've ever read. Well now James Franco is making a movie about the book about the movie. Here is the current list of stars: James Franco, Dave Franco, Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, Josh Hutcherson, Alison Brie, Hannibal Buress, and Kate Upton.

Oh for the love of God. We'd gone so long without a mention.

Holy crap that will be great. LKJ you better get in on this. How else are you going to understand this new great movie?

I look forward to a year later in life when I'm old enough to wear a sweater vest.
