This made me laugh…nice job M!

This stuff cracks me up;
“breaking out the tupperware” and “double locomotive head on” oh and don’t forget the “extraneous tangents”. These are so good you couldn’t make it up.
And oh yea, references to a “$500 H-job” and bacon in the same show comment section, too sweet.

Keep it up we are all laughing, well most of us.

…Personally, the extraneous tangents are the only reason I listen to this podcast.

“By the way, the $500 price tag on an h-job wasn’t a personal experience, but it was a story I heard from a previous trip.”

…yet another example of how overpriced Vegas has become. Same thing can be had on the streets of Oakland for a 20. (So I’ve heard.)

However, much like an actual Amtrak head on collision with a truck full of meat products, I couldn’t not listen.

By the way, the $500 price tag on an h-job wasn’t a personal experience, but it was a story I heard from a previous trip. Talk about spunking your money away!!

One thing I forgot to do on my call was to add a sign-off like some of your callers have started. So i’d like to add to my message……

Yabbadabbadoooooo.

The show is 1:37 to long.

Can’t put it onto a normal CDR for regular play so can’t play it in my car only my wife’s which plays MP3’s.

Not to complain much but you should keep it under 80 minutes. As a metter of fact, maybe you could edit this one and remove some extraneous tangents.

Version 1.1 came out today and along with a few other changes you can now write, read and share reviews right from your iPhone or iPod Touch!

If you drive down the strip you can’t miss the “Tao Beach” banner hanging off the under-construction condominium complex between the Palazzo & the Venetian. I originally thought it was a tacky banner advertisement to attract people to the pool party that goes on there. (After all the Tao ‘Spritual Dining/Religious Nightlife’ ads on the side of the Venetian look so out of place, the banner might fall right in line)

But the banner was so crappy, when I went there I got to thinking that maybe it was really there to help cover up the construction because the incomplete building was so unsightly. Since it hangs over Tao Beach, I thought may be it was a move to make the Tao Beach experience “more visually appealing” by hiding the I-beams when you’re in the pool.

However when I commented about the banner to a lifeguard, she smirked and pointed to a man behind the sign near the corner of the building. I guess the construction workers used to just stand up there with binoculars and check out the “European bathing” during the day, so they had to ‘protect the privacy’ of those partying from the peering eyes of the dayworkers.

I’ve been into Albertson’s a couple of times and despite my being impressed with how clean it was I wouldn’t go back. They were a bit on the bend you over the register and violate you side of prices.

I once had to buy ice for a wedding out there. Granted they were large bags of ice but $60 for about 4 or 5 bags was insane! I know they conserve water in NV but it’s ice. The recipe isn’t a secret.

But back to bacon. I’ve been hearing a lot about this so-called Applewood Bacon and I want to know if any stores in Vegas carry it. I live right across the street from an Albertsons, but I don’t like so much economic raping with my food purchases.

I listened to the podcast in work today. You cannot begin to belive how desperate I was for a drink after to listening all your ice clinking.

The larger Strip project s may be dead but all of the housing projects on the Boulder Highway are still going. I was shocked to see the construction crews still swinging hammers and continuing to frame new housing. I have no idea what market is available for those houses but away from there are still many many housing areas being developed with downtown areas et al 30 minutes South West of the Strip as well.

The question is, what season are they referring to? Isn’t this the convention season for Vegas? Are they closed for the holiday season?

1. Ikea freaks Michele out? I guess we know where Tim goes shopping now.

2. Isn’t the term “Bacon Links” a bit of a paradox

3. Can we get a mash-up of Michele’s “I want meat…” comment with today’s “There is moisture involved”?

There is one in Henderson and one a little nearer to the Strip if I remember correctly.

The ever great Chipotle has some vegetarian options. There is one by the crappy Belz outlet.

Another place to try might be visiting a Whole Foods. The vegan on our last trip just loaded up on snacks and dishes from there and Costco (we rented a condo) and ate his own meals and just drank during ours. There is one at that new mall on the south Strip; Town Square, I think.

Great stuff, keep it up!
