Atlantic City drains you dry

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Atlantic City and no not the 1980 film which tells the story of a Canadian woman whose dream for a better life in the gambling business is interrupted by the return of the husband she had left behind. It stars Burt Lancaster, Susan Sarandon, Kate Reid, Michel Piccoli, Hollis McLaren and Moses Znaimer.

Like I said before the night in the AC was for the groom. We all had a great time although I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t take many pictures but maybe next time.

I have to tell you that AC nickel and dimes every last bit of money out of you. I’ve bulleted a few of the examples:

  • Two slices of pizza and a drink: $9.00. I have to explain this one. Most people can eat at least two pieces of pizza, right? Everyone orders two slices. We figure they would be normal sized pieces but instead we get slices that Paul Bunyan can’t even eat. We each ordered two slices. We only had to order but instead food and resources are wasted and we are full for hours with the largest slices in the world.
  • Shuttle service to casino: $7.00/person. We believed that the shuttle service was complimentary as per the hotel. Wrong answer, 3/4 of the way the driver says to the ten unsuspecting riders that it is $7.00 per person. I find it difficult to believe that is costs $70 to drive ten people to the same place. A cab would have been half the cost.
  • Hickory BBQ Burger: $12.00. It wasn’t even that good.
  • Check-In cellphone at nudity bar: $2.00. I can understand the $20 admittance price but $2 to check-in my cellphone? Let’s be serious. Why should I be expected to check-in my phone? They have security. If someone is taking pictures then throw their ass out.
  • Gambling: $$$$

When I think of more examples, I will append the list. All in all, I had a great time and I hope that the groom can say the same.

Until next time, keep checking back.

Good times in AC

Saturday is for the groom

Friday, August 18th, 2006

This Saturday is the end of the road for a good friend.  When I say end of road, I mean marriage.  Don’t get me wrong, marriage is a good institution and for some people it is a better situation.

So anyways, the plan is go to Atlantic City.  We are going to show the groom a good time.  I have never really experienced AC but I can say that I’m excited.  I can actually say that I have never gambled in a casino.  Good times.

Can it get any better then friends giving a guy the best send off to marriage?  We are going to have a good time.  Hopefully, the groom will not find a job selling peanuts and a bed at the YMCA.  In that case he may not come back.

With that being said, here’s to the groom.  You da man.

SteckelStock 2006

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

I know I’m a little late for comments on the exciting SteckelStock 2006 but I thought it is important to mention about hosts of any huge party such as SteckelStock that they should have the appropriate equipment for putting out a grease fire. The flames were amazing. I haven’t seen anything like that since after I ate beans the week before.

All I could think of during the fire was I hope the beer is okay. I hope the beer is okay and doesn’t get warm from the flames.

Focus on the priorities of any party goer. Beer, games, snack food, and place to sleep. Notice wings are not mentioned. Don’t put the beer in harms way, ever.

I hope C. Steckel understands that I’m just busting his balls even though there isn’t much to bust. Good times, flip clip, and ladies in the hot tub. Can you ask for anything more? I had a great time and I fell 28 inches off of a ladder because my pants fell down and my ass was exposed.

I hope to see you all next year for SteckelStock 2007. Should we make t-shirts?

Click here to send me pictures.

Untill next time.

Inspiration

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

I have no inspiration. Current events have not interested me lately. I have not experienced any life numbing events except for my birthday last Monday. Thanks everyone for the gifts and the good times. The CD is awesome, Monica, even though I hate your guts.

Well back to my original point. I have nothing interesting to comment on. Immigration, been there. Terrorists, been there. Obesity, I am there. Do you understand my dilemma? Yes, a new and improved Moment with Will website is up running but that is not too inspiring after a while. Although the website does have a fully functioning forum that people can register and post. Can anyone send me some inspiration?

Moving along, over the weekend, I was discussing with T-Nuts about future videos. If you don’t know already, Samuel L. Jackson will be starring in a film this summer called “Snakes on a Plane” or “Drain the Main Vain”. I’m not sure of the name but below is the description from Yahoo Movie Pages:

Snakes on a Plane

A ruthless assassin unleashes a crate full of lethal snakes aboard a packed
passenger jet over the Pacific Ocean in order to eliminate a witness in protective custody. The rookie pilot and frightened passengers must band together to survive.

That sounds like a wonderful movie and such a mysterious title to boot. Anyways, we talked about a parody and I said “no”. We don’t do parodies. I would hope to think that the videos thus far have been original and controversial at times. We could have done parodies of every popular movie up to this point. What is the fun in that? Sure, it is always fun to see someone else’s take on a good movie or even bad movie but that is not the point. My point again is that we do not do parodies.

Okay so this all I got for a Wednesday but stay tuned as always. There is plenty more to follow including a new video. Also, Joel and I have already been discussing the details of the next video.

Stay straight, until next time.
