We all figure it's a black thing and think it wouldn't be PC to mention it.

Because this board is nothing if not PC.

Flower. I have worked in law for 10 years. over those 10 years I have had some really out there, risque, wacky stuff said to me.

You would thing, being attys that they would not do that. oh no. they let it rip.

That was not risque nor wacky.

I once had a tool partner at a firm long ago say to me "I have wood" the context is irrelevant but my jaw dropped.

I'll buy a lotto ticket when it gets big, say 100M or so, for that brief fantasy of fuck you money.

And yeah, blackjack. And craps. Poker doesn't mix well with massive quantities of free cocktails. At a blackjack table, the nicer dealers/pit bosses will politely direct me to the war tables when it becomes clear that I'm way too drunk to count.

This fight is ridiculous. Why do these manners discussions always turn so ugly?

It's not a win when someone merely pats you on the head and hands it to you.

2. I figure that the ten minutes of figuring out which cities to buy houses in is worth the ten bucks or so that I've spent on the tickets.

you did buy my beer. that I can verify. or whatever I drank. hmmm.

Have any of the fights on this board ever been anything other than ridiculous?

Random musings
 

But it's all I have left. Besides, aren't you hung?

Oh, wait, are we heading to where you talk about shoving your dick in my mouth again? And I say I can't feel it? And you threaten more? Because we already did that.

How did you manage to pull yourself into a perfectly good fight I'm having with Wonk?

You know what? I think on some level you like to be insulted. And not just for the attention. I suppose I can identify with that, but it's still kind of weird.

So, where would you buy houses? Assume you could buy three. I think I'd want an urban home - NYC, probably; a beach house -- East Coast, for easy access; and then some kind of country retreat with a huge stone fireplace for idyllic holidays. Maybe some tumbledown place in the French countryside that I spend time and money fixing up.

In reality, though, I think I'd keep our current house as a base while we traveled about for a couple of years and house-shopped, among other things.

I'll let you fuck me for a lot less than that.

No. That's Coltrane and gwnc's boyfriend.

Not my dick. A dick. Any dick. And it's not a threat. Just a suggestion.

I have already thought about this. I would like places in New York and London, a place on Saltspring Island or one of the Gulf Islands and a place in St. Lucia. I would also buy homes for my parents and sisters -- so whereever they wanted. I also would buy a place in Hawaii for an individual who is keen on having a place there.

Random musings
 

I think that needs a hyphen.

Random musings
 

Well, thanks for the suggestion - so nice to see your helpful side, though I'm already taken care of, thanks. And I do believe last time it was indeed your dick, but the new options have to be better.

I think I'd buy an apartment in New York, one in a European city somewhere, to be used as a base for travelling over there, and one on Turks & Caicos or someplace similarly beachy.

I would give up my current apartment to a friend or family member and let them have whatever they want in it, put the few things (like photos) that I want in storage somewhere and travel for 2 years before buying anything.

Shortly after moving to NY, I stood up to offer my seat to a pregnant woman on the subway. Just as I stood up, the train started. I lost my balance and nearly took her out. Now I just let them stand. It's the polite thing to do.

I'd probably end up with a smallish apartment or a bungalow in the Bay Area, a farmhouse that needs restoration in Tuscany or Spain or southern France (though I don't speak French or Italian), a villa in my favorite sleepy resort town in Mexico (this one, if it's still for sale then), I'd have an architect design something very cool here as my home base, probably in Mid-Town/Montrose, though if I found a nice lot in Southhampton, I wouldn't say no to that, and maybe I'd buy something on the mesa outside of Taos, New Mexico.

ETA: Reading the three house rule, eliminate the new house here in Houston and the house in Taos. I'll just work on my own house here, and I have friends with places in New Mexico.

I'd also buy each of my siblings a place of their own, and pay off any debt that my parents have on their houses.

Makes no difference to me. As long as it shuts you the fuck up.

I don't know the craps rules, but I've heard its a great game. And it has the second best odds next to blackjack, I think.

I got my clock cleaned gambling drunk on a boat. You know things are off the hook when you're ordering Grand Marniers and bottles of champagned to the blackjack table. Its like holding a big sign over your head saying "RUBE." But then, where else are you going to find booze that cheap. David Foster Wallace is a right cunt - boats are fun. They're just not good for chasing tail (Hi NCS!).

I've found they break so easily for no reason at all.

I was curious how you handled these things.

Did Slave hold the door for you when you were in a dress?

That was a top-notch episode of MythBusters.

They essentially proved that it was very unlikely, but theoretically possible, to kill yourself by peeing on a subway rail. To get the continuous stream, you have to be very close to the target and pee very hard.

Does it have to be a winning lottery ticket or when I'm done with the scratch off and have lost, will that work?

I have friends who I have a pact with regarding this sort of thing. Right now we are set up for a compound in Malibu and a villa in Cabo, but we really should expand to include a penthouse in Manhattan. Thanks to all for reminding me that a third home base will likely be necessary.

Random musings
 

Sounds like some kind of hippie commune to me.

Dammit. You said you were moving to Cabo. You mean I bought that place for nuthin?
