Ola!
« on: November 07, 2005, 03:23:30 pm »
Man o Man.   Sandy beaches, topless women, unlimited booze, old men in speedos and ALL YOU CAN EAT PORK!!!!

But sure, it's nice to be back in the land of Donkey Kong and Galaga!  ;D


(On carribean night they actually had all you can eat pig.  They had a pile of cooked pigs and you just pointed to the chunk of the animal you wanted and they hacked it off and plunked it on your plate.  Ahhhhhhh)

If I read this correctly, you got drunk and ate the pork from unlimited cold men in speedos.

Good for you.

It was something like that.  It was hard to take a picture without a 400lb German man in a thong speedo, the place was crawling with them.  I think they put Drew's pink woman to shame some of them.

Apart from losing my wedding ring in the ocean, and cutting my knee on a reef right before I was supposed to go into the shark cage to "swim with the sharks" it was an awesome vacation.  I would recommend it to anyone.

I misplaced my ring before and boy was the misses pissed.   Lucky she didn't feed your man berries to the sharks.

It gets worse.

One time my wife found my ring before I even knew I had lost it.

Easy solution.  Make sure you have a plain-ish ring, and buy several.

I'm forever losing mine - I take it off to work in electrical enclosures - and forget where I left it.

Costs $100 a pop, but its cheaper than hotel rooms and couples therapy.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

HA! I actually chose my wedding ring for that very reason. I knew I'd lose it eventually and I wanted one that I could easily replace. Ten years down the line and, miraculously, I still have the original.

Suckers.  I don't even wear my wedding ring.  I'm not entirely sure where it is anymore.  I don't like rings so I don't wear them.  Silly tradition. ::)

They are good for the ego.

I've had more women hit on me since I've been married than before.

Un-obtainability increases interest.

I had the opposite... used to get hit on a lot before the marriage... that ring hit my finger and I couldn't get a tumbleweed to talk to me for the next year.

No change there either way for me.  (I tried wearing that stupid thing for a while)  Don't get hit on that often.  I generally not a very smiley person and thus tend to seem a little unapproachable...or it could be that I'm abnormally ugly...

Not sure why Chad spent a year trying to pick up a tumbleweed, but who am I to judge? ;)

Hey, man, that was a quality metaphor.

BTW, the standard bachelor party escape:

I don't remember, I drank way too much.  <then puke>

DUH!  Because it was a hot-lookin' tumbleweed!
