As anyone done one of those?

*Raises hand*

Phish New Year’s Eve show MSG…afterwards walking around the city on shrooms and drinking to sun up pretty amazing. Probably my best trip…but but been to NYC a bunch younger, always fun.

It was either 2001 or 2002. Some promotion company did a all you can drink, live bands and had craps and roulette tables going $10 minimum up to $100 min tables on the piers where the aquarium is. They had massive tents. It was alright you spent 30 minutes trying to get a drink. I figured if I was paying $150 for event I was going to drink Bulleit Burbon or woodford but you got a splash and had to wait to ask for another. I really hated it but then again I don’t like people in large quantities

Automatic phone updates can rot in hell. Always some tweaks that does nothing but change something I'm already used to, with no actual improvements.

People driving 50 mph through a packed parking lot. Save the nascar moves for on the hwy

Broken signals. Where I'm at, lights constantly change red for no reason. So there will be cars sitting there on the main street while the side street has a green light with no cars.

If I'm 1st in line, I treat them like stop signs. Always hilarious just going thru while 10 cars behind me are half thinking what is he doing and half thinking I want to do that too.

Weird ... where I live they change colors as well but not just red, theyll turn to green and yellow as well. Its like theyre on a cycle on something.

I treat the red stop lights like red stop lights.

Red = stop

Green = go

Yellow = pee


edit - (I used "as well" twice in one sentence = poor sentence structure and writing imo ... but Im not sure if I use "to" or "too" to replace one of the "as well"s so Im just going to leave it be but I want you the reader of this edit note to know that I know that is a shitty and poorly written sentence and that reflects poorly and shitally on me as the writer. You the reader are doing a great job if you got this far and I appreciate that and you.)

Im gonna have to channel my inner traffic cop and advise you to wait for a green light here SD.
Here in Jersey there are lights that will immediately turn green again if they sense no cars coming the other way but I usually wait even if they dont.

I can't help myself. I don't drive super fast or anything else but I can't sit at an intersection for no damn reason.

My kid won an award at school today during an award ceremony and they announced all the kids get a free pizza coupon from Ledos!

Cool! Awesome!

She won the same award last year and Ledos coupon was limited to one location in like Fairfax, Virginia.

She goes to Howard County Maryland public school. I might have posted this last year, I just think its funny and genius. Free advertising, that location gets to promote how they support schools etc .. an no one will EVER redeem the free coupon.

Im going to offer the school coupons for a free DUI representation for the kids!!! Yay!!

Seriously, what did the school say? The prize must have been donated.
