Kiawah Island? I've heard of them. Oysters, you say? I had a few last week. Damn, they were good, although I went too hard on the horseradish...

Well, here are some shots from the hotel buffet:

I had a friend whose Bar Mitzvah fell on Christmas Day many years ago. Rather than paying for a reception at the synagogue, his parents took all the guests out for Xmas brunch buffet at the Peabody, which is the grand old hotel in downtown Memphis. Very well played!!!!

If I ever do find myself in Memphis and am of the means, in addition to calling on you for a drink, I will make a point of staying in that hotel. It sure looks spectacular. Grand Old Hotels are the only type I stay in.

I did meet the Mayor of Chattanooga once, however.

Something more ethnic I could probably try, or something more expensive.. somewhere that I know some slob isn't going to take a bite of something, or pick it up and put it back. The only place I tend to go is at a chinese/japanese place, because I can keep going up when the sushi and sushmi are made and get it fresh, and cheap.

Stay away from Chinese buffets, especially the ones with crab legs and ice cream on the bar!

Haha, the one near us has a soft serve machine. I find that cool. I'm not really that big on ice cream, but I will always go for a nice little soft serve cone.

Give me leave to modify one of my statements earlier.  I said I am going to give Xerox another week or two before I give up on them.  That is true except for one application that is in the cooker before I came to this decision.  It is in an entirely different field.  It is working with Delta Air Lines as a Gate Operator, checking passengers in, directing them to their appropriate gate, and boarding passengers.  This possibility may require me to relocate again, but we'll see.

How exciting! Where's the job!

(make sure I never fly Delta through there)

Ah, I'm just kidding. Maybe you should become a steward!

As fun as this sounds, it's pretty ludicrous to move cross-country for a job that pays $11 an hour, don't you think?

Bushie's moving to New York? This could be movie of the series.

Extremely doubtful, unless Delta Air Lines offers way north of $11.  I would probably require at least $17-$18 to make that big of a move especially just 4 1/2 or 5 months after I moved from Oklahoma to Utah.

This is no less ridiculous.

I love when Bushie talks about his porn addiction. He mentioned it in another thread. I hope we learn more about it now!

I don't plan to expand on that as there is something called Terms of Service here.  Plus, we do have a female in our midst, and I do want to respect her and be modest.

If politicus were to be offended, I'm sure she'd let you know.

I am hearing people talk about this Insanity workout off line as of late. I'm beginning to feel shooting myself might be in order. I don't know anything about it, but it sounds as frightening as cannibalism in the nude. Both of which combined are probably less daunting than this "workout".

For example, I am almost certain this "workout" involves stabbing yourself.

I think this could be one of the best investments of my life.

I'm going to the grocery store after work tomorrow and going to get some fresh groceries.  I'm going to replace the sodas with Gatorade, so I can replenish the electrolytes I lose while working out.  I will drink more water at work than soda.  As far as food, I'm going to get some fresh produce, vegetables and fruit; whole grain breads and starches; hamburger meat (I bought a George Foreman Saturday); and maybe one or two snack foods that I want.  I'm going to try to cut down on the sodas to the point that I only have them when I go out to eat.

That comparison might not be too far off when you are doing it, it is hard as s***, but it really is a good feeling after you complete it without dying.

Yes because two fractures, three open wounds, and a shattered hip gives one a "good feeling". Roll Eyes

I wouldn't wish the Insanity Workout on my worst enemy.

Simfan, are you familiar with Canada's old railway hotels? Especially the Banff Springs Hotel and the Chateau Frontenac? Wow!!! I paid $15 just for the hour long guided tour of the Banff Springs. And worth every penny. I'm not sufficiently well to do to stay at a place quite that swanky, but my experience has been that old hotels usually have smaller rooms than I prefer. And old plumbing isn't ideal either. This was certainly my experience at the Francis Marion, which is a very decent old hotel in the very decent old town of Charleston, SC.
Banff Springs

Chateau Frontenac



Very much so! In the sixth grade I wrote a story about the Banff Springs, actually.

I have started the water drinking today, though. I didn't drink as much as I wanted to, but I'm just getting started!

I think... I think... I need to sig this.

The cheat snacks are microwavable popcorn.  Not the best, but not the worst.

Is that it? If I so I can generally approve of this grocery list.

Cereals are like 130 cals max for a 3/4 cup serving, who cares. The Fig Newtons are probably the only thing I'd caution against in that lot.

Plus, Honey Nut Cheerios, like regular Cheerios, are good for cholesterol, so while it has sugar, it has other benefits as well.

Look, dawg, no one needs Honey Nut Cheerios. Regular Cheerios are just as good, if not better.

This is patently false.

I can only hope season 5 will center around BushOK's transformation into an American-African, much like Wiklus transformed from a human to an alien in Peter Jackson's District 9, starting with watching the World Cup qualifiers and then progressing to his inevitable shedding of his white skin for the dark chocolate layer that lies beneath.

This is a terrifying prospect, much like the movie was.

Inks, being an African does not necessarily entail being black, which is why I is dislike the politically correct imprecision of "African American". In a more logical world, an "African-American" would be a recent African in to America, which would neatly cover both myself and Bushie if he were to sincerely see himself as Kenyan. I would be (and is) black, but Bushie would obviously not. Yet we have this unhelpful squishyness that leads to linguistic confusion.

It's odd, how this is driven by whites and not the referent peoples themselves. Blacks were fine being called negroes. "Native Americans" prefer Indian (which goes the other way in terms of imprecision). We should just do this more sensibly.

What does that mean? Bushie's quite free to give him self any national label he wants and he's free to use any supra-national label that corresponds with it. That doesn't make his claims valid, not by any means, but no one is going to stop him. No one would stop you, either. But to use the term "African-American" in its current context would be quite silly.
