3 guys, one car, 5 years, 70,000 miles (we got it at 30,000). If my
math is even sort of right, it's about 4500 miles per person, per year.
We did take it on some far road trips too but mostly it just between

Halloween Costume and StrippersCategory: dancing
I am thinking about being Freddy Mercury from queen.
So last night was Bad Boy Bill at Madmoiselles Gentlemen's Club
that I wrote about in (e:paul,45944) The atmosphere was so weird. The club is one big dance hall with a dual cat walk and stripper poles. The women were actually pretty okay to good looking. Not what I expected. Although, honestly I was surprised that only 2 women out of all of them did no have cellulite despite being skinny (with curves). Is it a genetic thing or an age thing? Do all women have it and I just never saw that many of them so clothesless?
The women can't get really naked. Not only do they where outfits but hey have these weird nipple shapped bandaids on their nipples. Its not like in Canada where I saw the male strippers. I imagine the female ones are crazier in Canada too.
The fact that most people were there for dancing and not for the strippers made it all such a strange atmosphere. At first I felt weird dancing because the strippers are dancing but as the music got better most of the crowd started to dance. The problem is it was dancing on carpet. I hate dancing on a carpeted dancefloor. No pun intended.
Broke my glasses on a stripper
So (e:enknot) gave me a dollar to give to a stripper and I tried. First, he and (e:Terry) went then I went to give her a dollar and when she moved her breast hit my glasses and broke them. She was like, "I think I am breaking you glasses." I am such a dork. I later noticed you are supposed to take them off. I guess you live and learn although I don't know the next time I will go anywhere, where the drinks cost so much and are so weak.
Notice the missing pads.

In terms of strip clubs in Canada Full Nudity is legal. I have been to a couple in Toronto. But here is where things get weird. IF you go to one in Toronto the girls will be on the stage and you can get lap dances and girls will sell you lap dances in fact that I think is where they make there money. I was talking to this one girl briefly who used to work at one of the places in the falls and she basicly said just watching doesn't go over there. I went to GTR's once (like 9-10 years ago I'm guessing) {Canada right over the boarder before you get to the KOA campground) and guys ladi on stage girls hit them with belts, looked down there boxers, Poored a pitcher of water on them, and the one guys girl at the time flashed the stripers her snatch. I don't know if the laws are different in differnt parts of Onterio or if it is the enforcemet. Hey things could have changed. I know in NYS it used to be legal for women to go topless in public anyplace a man could go topless, that is as long as it wasn't done in a sexual way.

Perfect costume idea for you, Paul. :O)
In Canada, or more specificly, Ontario, it is legal for ANY woman to be topless. Back in the '90s, some chick from Guelph Uni took off her top and fought the laws saying that her inablity to take off her top and the ability of males to take off their top was sexist. Nothing will make a politician shake in his boots more in Ontario than a sexist label, so, after much debate, it became legal for men or women to be topless in public. That first summer in Toronto was interesting, to say the least. I think the "hey look at my tits" phenomena has quieted in recent years.

I went to Pharaoh's and they weren't completely topless-- they wore those weird clear little nipple cover things. You could see nipples right through them, but they weren't bare nipples.
They also couldn't show bare genitals, but I thought that was pretty standard. The NY State law is that no place that serves alcohol can have total toplessness, hence topless juice bars.
In Canada they are allowed to be topless. I am not sure about going bottomless. I only saw male strippers in Canada-- I wanted to go upstairs to see the girls, but the coworker I was with was really uncomfortable with the whole nudity concept and adding girls to the mix would've broken her tiny mind, so I stayed down with the mens with her.
The men showed full nudity, but not much of it. So I suppose that would mean the women could too.
Incidentally I think you would be awesome as Freddy Mercury, (e:paul).
Oh! I'm bringing a friend, one of my roller derby comrades, to the party-- I'll warn her no heels or wheels in your house. We may stop by and then go on to another party, but if we do we'll probably leave (e:zobar) with y'all and come back later. (E:strip) parties are like going out and being home all at the same time! :)

About two month ago I saw a picture of you wearing a thin mustache and thought you bore a striking resemblance to Freddie Mercury. Go for it.

I assumed that at that place they could go completely topless. I know at Pharohs they go completely topless. I wonder if having an event there changes them to not being able to show their nipples or if they figure most people are there to dance screw it. I'm not sure how it is done exactly but I would assume that if the dollar is given and the looking is done right you can see some snatch. I'm not a dancer but it seems like dancing on a rug would be weird since some dancing moves you slide your feet or maybe even legs and a rug would kinda stop that. Still sounded like a good time. Hey in terms of the costueme that might work pretty good.

Time warner and channel 4This is so ridiculous. My parents have Time Warner cable. My mother
works at channel 4. The two companies still don't have an agreement,
so to watch the news channel 4, this is the solution.
tinypliny - 10/18/08 22:56
A quicker solution. Just ditch the TV. :)

I agree it is pretty stupid and both sides seem not to care at all about the viewers. I admit I kinda jealous of those two TV's next to each other it would be awesome to be able to watch a show with a story and then sports right next to it. Yeah they do need to be more civilised and do what is best for the viewers.

You're right. It is ridiculous. It's a corporate level fight which leaves both sides in each market to just take the abuse. You'd think Ch.4's owners would recognize the golden p.r. opportunity of keeping the channels on and taking the high road, but no......

Rusty carsI know buffalo is notorious fir rusty cars but I never saw one like
this. I probably should not text and drive on this corner seeing as
it is the only place I ever got into an accident. I am stopped at a
red light at least.

Heh... with a little creative gradient painting, it could look as if the car had a nice orange to brown gradient design in the back.

I can't tell what kind of car it is but I know there was a line of Chevy cars in the late 1990s that had a bad problem with their paint. I had one that my dad had given me when he was done with it and the paint started coming up in bubbles and then flying off in big sections. I had to have it stripped and repainted - and no, Chevy didn't pay for it. They maybe had a problem like that but didn't take care of it.

Worky, workyCategory: work
Last night I worked till like 11PM to finish up all the projects that had to be converted to the new flash upload. Some of them still have to be launched into production because I can't do that without signoff. At least they are ready to go. I can't believe what a pain in the ass it has been because of this one decision Adobe made. I wonder if they realized so many people were using their system the way it worked in flash player 9. Then I worked on a new AD based security system which seems to work out well.
I also had this serious issue where IE6 was blanking out on cached javascript files. I kept thinking it was some problem witht he scripts themselves but it turned out to be that it really just can't handle javascript gzipped. I set my .htaccess file to stop gzipping the content for IE6 and everything was fine. Honestly, that browser has cost my thousands of hours of wasted time over the years.
By the time I got home I was just ready for bed. So despite having guests over I passed out.
Today, there are like ten million other programming tasks I want to accomplish like adding native querySelectorAll support to the surebert toolkit but I am going to try and take a day off. The native querySelectorAll is pretty neat and it is extremely fast. The browser makers are finally starting to realize that programmer want js dom node selection through css selectors and it could be much more efficient if the browser just did it instead of having to use a js library. Safari 3.1 already has support, so does firefox 3.1 beta and the new IE 8 is going to have it at well. I can't believe something new will have cross browser support.
If only Roswell could move past IE6 which is sadly still our official browser.

I just want to thank you for posting this. I was feeling awfully demotivated today morning and somehow this post makes me want to go out and do what it takes to accomplish the random things I need to do! You are an inspiration right now! THANK YOU! :)

Thanks for adding a few extra miles to pick up me and MIke from the airport.
