10927.5 days until I can retire. 

Eight hours until my flight leaves for Vegas, baby!

Hope it's not one of those slow, ugly, feminine, yellow jets!

That and "The Chinese ideogram for 'trouble' symbolizes 'two women living under one roof'." That's so true. 

That's not true.  I mean, it's not how the Chinese character for "trouble" looks like. 

Ahhh. Well, I pulled that one off of http://www.kellys.com/know.html . Anyway, I don't know Chinese, but I thought it was funny . Serves me right for using the Internet. Here's a random Georgia fact: "In Gainesville, the Chicken Capital of the World it is illegal to eat chicken with a fork." I wonder if this is really true...

The flight from Milwaukee to Chicago takes an hour and a half. Chicago back to Milwaukee is only 90 minutes.

In Lynchburg TN, where they make Jim Beam. The county is dry (which means you cannot buy alchohol in the county)

1. Hibs last won the Scottish cup in 1902.
2. If you tied a piece of rope snugly around the circumference of the world and then added an extra 6ft of rope- you would have roughly 1ft of slack around the entire globe.
3. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable. I nicked this one from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/wright/index.shtml

President Warren G. Harding coined the term "normalcy". He also once lost all the White House china gambling, on one hand of cards

Also, his middle name was 'Gamaliel", which I think is awesome.

-There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.

-The inventor of the modern-day toilet was John Crapper.

-The headstone of Mr. Borden - Borden Dairy - is shaped like an old milk canister.

-Roy Rogers' birth-home was located on what was second base at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.

- Jim Beam is actually distilled in Clermont, KY; but Jack Daniel's is distilled in Lynchburg, TN...which is in a dry county.

- Loosen and Unloosen mean the same thing.

President Warren G. Harding was often referred to as "G-Dog" by his homies.

Does it matter if it's a black mole or a brown one?  Does a hair coming out of it make a difference?

Yeah, my first time there in thirty years, so we're doing the tourist stuff: Follies Bergiere (sp) tomorrow and Penn and Teller Monday. Don't drink OR gamble, but I have a different buffet scheduled for every night.

Cool

Bear, tell us all about the buffets and I want to hear about Penn and Teller. I love their show on HBO or is that Showtime? Whatever. You know what I mean. Have a great time!

"Uh, no, dude. He's dead." Bear

Dude?  Qu'est ce que c'est le dude?  Is that the past tense of the verb "to do"? 

In answer to that statement Bear, Mozart will never die!

I saw P&T this summer when I was out in Vegas.  The show is absolutely funny.

Three things to remember:

1.  Penn normally plays the bass with the piano guy before the show.

2.  Make sure you sign the envelope.

3.  Make sure you stick around after the show to meet them in the lobby and get their autograph (and actually hear Teller speak .

I've seen them in Vegas and also when I was about 10 and they were off broadway. If you talk to them after the show ask them whatever happened to Mofo The Psychic Gorilla.
