POLL: Happy Labor Day

Some of us across the pond don't have these frivalous holidays and will be working our little fingers to the bone...

;-)

It is is by working hard at alphabetizing my Hentai collection and burning meat that I struggle for the independence to travel to distant lands.

Distant lands such as Mt. Washington or Towson?

But then again, those 'Bank Holiday' things seem like cheating to us...

Does "level grinding in Disgaea 2" count as "working hard"?

If so, that's what I'm doing.

Some of us across the pond don't have these holidays, and STILL spent the day lazing around doing nothing.

I voted twice, even though I'm not from Chicago, because I did two of the choices. I started the day by cutting the grass and cutting down some dead branches, which I then had to cut into bite-size chunks so I could bag them with the grass clippings. So, working hard.
Then I fired up the grill and cooked enough for lunch and two dinners--and repeated that process several hours later, yielding yesterday's dinner and one more meal for later in the week. Two fires=five meals. Yay! So, burning meat. And now I don't have to use the oven or the broiler for the rest of the week! Huzzah! Almost makes up for the fact that it started to rain just as I was thinking about taking the convertible out for a ride. :(

i'm glad that the Ohio cops didn't take the day off. if they had, i wouldn't have known i was doing 86 in a 65 zone.

whew.

just think of all the bad things i could have wasted that $130 on. thank you Ohio. i hope your next 187 is lots of orphans and puppies.

I learned a long time ago that the worst traffic offense you can commit in Ohio is Driving While Michiganian.

Is there enough Laharl/Etna/Gordon in Disgaea 2 to make me revisit the franchise?

Is there *any* Gordon? :(

Yes on Etna. She steamrolled over my party in a fairly early part (level 1000 Etna vs. level 10 party is like kicking puppies), and apparently she joins the party later on.

Laharl: Apparently there's a map where you can fight him and his squad. I *think* he can join the party, don't quote me on that though.

Flonne & Gordon: Unsure.

My Monday/Tuesday was fun.
Bought a new car Monday, took it home (Budapest home that is) and loaded it up. Key in, start driving, autobahn, go fast, ferry, home (UK one).

1805km, 16:05 driving time, 30:50 total traveling time.

Fun!

Psh.

I was commuting to SF earlier this year.

You only crossed one timezone.

But add them up! I've crossed 70 time zones this year already!

And you probably flew.

Of course I flew.

Your same 1805 km only gets me to Topeka, Kansas!

But I'd get there in about 24 hours, not 30 - if I made plenty of stops. Google maps says it's 20 hours, 30 minutes.

Pssht. Two weekends ago I drove to Adelaide for a party. 1200km down, attend party, sleep a little, 1200km back.

The food was pretty nice.

Rrright! That does it!

Easter 2001, I flew Singapore to London, met up with my To Be and introduced said to Parents. Next day London - Singapore and straight off the plane and into work.

Last year, Ides of March. Flew from Indiana to Germany to Sri Lanka to every Airport in Bosnia and then back during my 30 minute lunch break and still had time to brew 2 barrels of ale.

I win!

And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

Or at least, they'll be highly skeptical [youtube.com].
