V E G A S

miz is celebrating his birthday next month in true playa dolla bling style - by renting a hotel suite in vegas.

as i wrote jorge rojo, two words: kobe beef. it's not quite the quasi-religious food experience you would have had some years ago when japan only exported a severely limited amount to only the most posh places, and then they served it to you in a special room curtained off from the lowly minions eating peasant filet mignon, and the waiter would cut a slice of raw meat off so marbled with fat that it was more white and sear it on a hot rock to cook for just a few moments - and not until your mouth exploded with the deliciousness of it would the server cut off another slice. i mean, kobe beef used to be the stuff of legend. from an ancient stock of cattle that are massaged every day?? on a diet of the purest sake and beer mash?? uh, yes please, and i'll have that with a side of unicorn meat while you're at it. so yeah, it's not like THAT anymore. now it's been mcdonaldsized and there's kobe quesadillas and kobe burger and kobe corndogs - lame. and now america grows their own style of kobe beef. and pretty soon (if not already), it will be $19.99 kobe steak night at applebee's.

there was one restaurant in cincinnati that served it. it cost almost $80, a la carte. i found out about the place a few weeks before i was moving to alaska, and at that point, all $600 of my savings were going to leaving. & don't get me started on juneau's restaurant choices.

ok so not only is this culinary fantasy about to be realized, but ... we are going to The Price Is Right. i was born and raised on that show. plinko, the grocery game, the mountain climber dude, bring it on! showcase showdown? always hold out for showcase 2! i bet $1 bob! in your face!! ahhh!! if my name gets called, i am gonna be crazier than derone.

So, even though it will be Price is Right sans Bob Barker, I am still ready to crap my pants I am so excited about going. We should all make up matching Todd Newton shirts. I am SO gunning for a new box spring and mattress set!

no matter what, we have to think of a sweet ass t-shirt design. I'm thinking something along the lines of "All my friends are spayed or neutered for you bob!"

oh, so you're one of those annoying fucks who bids $1 just so you can win a lifetime supply of EZ-off oven cleaner spray for your new electric range? i always want to smack those people. however, plinko is the best game ever invented and i will be uber jealous if you get to play it.

i find your blog interesting because I grew up in Juneau and went to school there. I was also a LB in BBBS.

I live in Arizona now...have you ever read the book "Big Impact"?

I kept looking at your pictures to see if you knew anyone I know...
