In Canadia, people throw coins on stage.
|
Speaking of coins, my bank again asked me about the U.S. dollar coins and if I could continue to supply them. I told them I would do what I can (but they aren't getting any Jackson coins). Apparently, the Mint requires banks to take a massive shipment - too much to keep in stock - but they have moderate demand from customers for the coins.

I am in awe and intimidated. Astounded and amused. Wow.

Some of your co-hosts were asking and then their gears came to a halt when you tried to explain it? Did you try to work hot nuts into the analogy so Ben could process it easier? |

I haven't forgotten about the idea of a Box Rifle/Machine Gun Do in LAS...it needs to be affordable and scheduled well and I'm in.

So are the :rolleyes:'s.
Almost didn't mind spending 30 minutes suspended above the Hudson on a woefully outdated bridge that is liable to collapse at any given moment.

Not a good way to start the day:
On a positive note, today is my last work day as an single man. :)

Saturday night and the :rolleyes:'s are right.
I have a serious question for everyone in The Box (I hope I haven't asked this before). How do strip-clubs work in Europe (or any location with dollar coins and not bills)? Do the girls wear change-belts like at the arcade? This is like a paradox to me. Every time I think about it (often) I give myself an ice cream headache. |

I hope the TPZ does not do this

Anyone know what a .xpw file extension is and how to read it? I have a form that has a .xpw extension and google says it is a Accessible FormNet Fillable Form but the website does not offer a reader. Other links takes me to some xpw system scans but I'm afraid to download any of those. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The Festering Pit thing might have something to do with it. I don't want to think about the costs involved to the potential arena in keeping a sheet of ice in playable condition in May and June. There is minor league hockey, I think...the Houston Aeros, right?

They don't know how to read the reports and I can tell that by what was said.
If nothing else, almost weekly, portions of the road-deck just crumble away "punch throughs" and save for a few steal beams, you can see right down into the Hudson. That's a problem. |

Fair enough but I drive across the thing twice a day and there are serious structural deficiencies that are glaringly obvious.

Yes, the Aeros play at the Toyota Center. So, there is a sheet of ice already on the floor. Remember, you have other sun belt teams playing in the heat - Phoenix Coyotes, Florida Panthers, Dallas Stars, Atlanta Thrashers to name a few. So, I don't think the condition of the ice would be the problem.
People here are more interested in baseball and now the Dynamo (soccer). The funny thing is, we have a lot of transplants from outside of the state and it becomes apparent when you go to a Cubs game (either that or there are a bunch of Houstonians who grew up watching the Cubs :rolleyes:) |
