Anyone been to Tokyo? Strongly considering looking at that as my next big foreign trip instead of back to Europe.

They get a lot of handicap parking permits around where I live. Actually, my wife and I get to park in a handicap spot less than half the time. Pretty annoying since, you know, they actually *need* the damn exercise.

On a related note, I came unexpectedly close to murdering someone who parked in the handicap spot at the post office ahead of us today. No tag, no placard, and 3 abled-bodied people inside who easily hopped out and were getting packages together and just...liked the convenient spot, I guess. A nearly full lot, no other spaces on the whole front row. Perhaps they did not notice the woman hobbling past them shortly thereafter. Decided on no confrontation whatsoever since the post office was due to close in 1 minute, and I really wish to avoid going there on Monday. Also would rather not leave my wife stranded as I get arrested. Also, prefer wife not think of me as "murderer".

Slightly satisfied when they were denied entry two minutes later. Also, one less chance to commit murder.

I actually probably could go full out deadwood on someone in a similar spot were I alone--and this does include healthy people borrowing a plackard for the purpose. Reflecting on it now, wish I were the sort to be cool and say, walk up and tap their window and say, "Pardon me, are you aware you are parked in the handicap spot? Oh, and by the way...you seem to have four flat tires." Or something but I doubt I could get more than two words out before snapping in a rage. And then how awkward would that be, talking to the cop afterward, "So, why did you slash his tires before murdering him? That seems rather unnecessary, given the impending murder, no? I mean, now we have to get that car towed instead of just driving it away--and no handicapped parking in the meantime, sir. "

Yeah, but the slashed tires thing would be great. They call the cops, cops ask why they're in the handicapped spot, actually that could be perfect. In fact, maybe I should call the cops after slashing their tires. Ah, but there are no payphones around.

Fortaleza appears to be the best city.

Quote:
Featuring 34 kilometres of wonderful beaches, Fortaleza has been one of the main tourist destinations in the north-east of Brazil for several years. It has also developed into an important economic centre and a densely populated metropolitan area: over 2.4 million people reside within its 313 square kilometres (120,8 sq mi).

Most of the tourist attractions in Fortaleza revolve around its beaches: the Praia do Futuro (Future Beach) popular for its several barracas - simple kiosk-restaurants built on the sand that serve fresh, typical seafood - while Iracema is the place for bars and nightclubs. There is also more bucolic Mucuripe Beach, from where fishermen venture into the sea with their jangadas (handmade wooden boats). The coastal Beira Mar avenue is also the place for a traditional daily craftsmen's fair and for some of the top spots to dance the forró, a typical rhythm from the north-east of Brazil.

Over the decades, Fortaleza has invested in infra-structure for tourism and in new features such as the Centro Dragão do Mar de Arte e Cultura (Sea Dragon Art and Culture Centre) and the Beach Park, Brazil's largest water park, with several cutting-edge speed-slides distributed along 35,000 square kilometres.

Almost every fat person says they want to lose weight; are you waiting for some next life where everything is easier and the pounds melt off while you punch microwave buttons? When I see fat people out jogging or even walking I almost want to go up to them and encourage them, it would be weird and awkward but I still want to. They are doing it, trying to tame the fat. Almost like addicts at rehab. OK, you ****ed up your body, now you are doing better, good on you.

There are all sorts of jags people can go on about fat people, but my main one is why let yourself get hugely fat? I got kind of fat in grad school. I'm 6'2" and got up to like 220, then I got pissed off and dealt with it and am down to about 185-190. The secret to my weight loss was more exercise and eating healthier, I should write a book.

I've been fed shots since about noon so I'm a bit drunk, but I'd love to see some rants about fat people, or rants about how being fat sucks and you can't do anything about it. Or you can just curse me and name me craven.

Ohhhh Yeahhhh

Round 1 Pick 3 Richard Tanner and Loosekanen select: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Feb-Mar



Hello biggest, wildest mfin' party in the world. RT and I are taking our $20,000 and skipping out on this northern hemisphere winter bull**** to go to Carnival with the Brazilian wimminz. Carnival is one of the world's biggest parties, where street parades are happening on every corner and everyone is doing nothing but drinking and dancing. Mmmmmm Brazilian women dancing.:





But let's not discount Rio in general. We may be there for Carnival but summer in Rio is crazy all around. It's is home to a few world-renowned beaches, the most famous being Copacabana and Ipanema where women flock like the salmon of Capistrano. On a summer day they look like this:



And to top it all off, during my extensive travels through Europe, Asia and South America no women have matched the intense combination of cuteness, sexiness, and ASS that the Brazilian woman offer. They just can't be beat.



Rio offers extensive culture too. It's a massive city that isn't going to bore anyone even if they don't like to go to the beach every day. Unfortunately Rio also gets a bad rap when it comes to crime but from personal experience most of it is going down at night in or near the favelas. And if you're in or near a favela at night you have bigger issues than random bad luck.

So while we respect the selections above we're pretty happy we got our first choice. Southern hemisphere spots are probably a little more scarce than their northern counterparts, and we go one of the world's biggest parties to boot. Nothing like dropping everything and hitting the beaches in Rio for a few months. Hermosa Rio.

Things I love about Happy Gilmore:

-Happy taking 4 whiffs then hitting one into the water and making bogey on the hole

-Shooter McGavin being present for Happy's discipline meeting with the tour

-People standing 2 feet off the green in the final scene
