40 days and 40 nights...

in General Discussion edited January 2014
As some of you know, I am a school teacher at a year-round elementary school. This Thanksgiving I go off-track for my biggest break of the year, 40 days. I'm already treating myself to seeing The Producers, Jerry Seinfeld Live in Vegas, and of course some time in Disneyland via our annual passes. I think I will try to sneak a Laker game in there as well.



What are some other suggestions of thing to do? I could still drive up to Canada and steal Murbot's beer. There is of course the inevitable honey-do list which will be attended to as well.



Suggestions?

    The timeline suggests that you start gathering wood and pairs of animals.

    Yes, how funny... a movie reference to 40 Days and 40 Nights...



    However the post had nill to do with not having sex for the time in question. Reading is your friend... I like reading... Why don't you try to read the first post for practice?



    BTW that movie was really bad...

    During those 40 Days & Nights, you should read only Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, Josh Marshall, and Eric Alterman.







    You could also come out to Utah, since you'll be in Vegas. We've gotten some decent snow in the past few weeks, and more to come this week. Good skiing.



    Cheers

    Your answer would make sense if trumptman had agreed to not have sex for the 40/40 or if someone had sujested not having sex for the time in question.



    Anyway...



    trumptman, the Canada idea sounds good. Don't steal the beer, just take a picture of yourself next to the beer and whatever computer he has at the time. Post the picture.

    I actually use to read The Atlantic Monthly quite a bit. I've never learned to ski. Perhaps if you live near someplace that ski's I can grab some back issues and read them after I break my leg.

    I live around the corner from the slopes where they held part of the winter olympics in 2002. There's a good hospital in town, too! Right across the street from the Uni. where I teach. I could drop off some issues on my way to work!

    Um. It was a pretty open-ended question. Asking "what are some other suggestions of thing to do" means that..*Gasp* ...trumptman wants to know our opinions.

    So you are telling me that your opinion on what trumptman was asking is not to do what Josh did. If so, your wording did not make sense, that's why I commented on your post. Your post sounded (to me) like it was making the 40 Days and 40 Nights reference before making any opinion toward trumptman's question.



    Are we done here?

    And I, predictably, like Harper's and the New Yorker, good liberal that I am.



    If you intend to make it up anywhere near Ottawa, let me know. We could share a beer and political discussion. That could be interesting.

    yeah trumptman, if you want to go to Yellowstone or Glacier, let me know.



    Hmm, I'm thinking he just started this thread to see if he could get invites from people to get free places to stay. We all know how cheap he is...

    I hope he's not expecting conservative magazines.

    Actually the driving was intended as a joke because I started a thread about what to do with my Jeep which had been broadsided and has about 230k miles on it. Murbot suggested I drive that f*cker up to Canada and leave it there. I was teasing that I would come steal his beer. Likely a very dangerous thing to do during hockey season.



    I stayed a week in Yellowstone back in 99 or so. As being cheap, I require you supersize the meal and include dessert before I put out. I'm not a cheap date.
