No, but I got a Wii!!!!

Let me begin with stating that I LOVE the concept of the intelligent degenerate. I don't think I've better articulated my being into 2 simple words. My wife and I have recently moved into a very nice new home. We essentially have all our shit in the house, but nothing is organized and it's been stressful and other than buying and setting up a new 46" flatscreen HD full 1080i television, I've proven myself to be basically worthless. My old lady asked me to go and get some new hangers so our housekeeper could organize the closets. I went to the local Walmart and completely forgot the mission at hand. I did see that they had a friggin' ninendo wii in stock however. Punchdrunk. I bought it immediately with some games and paraphenalia. I completely ignored the hangers. I go home all excited and when I went thru the door, she immediately asked about the hangers. I asked, "oh I forgot those, but CHECK IT OUT...I GOT A WII...DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THESE BABIES ARE TO FIND. JACKPOT!". She retorted with "great another game system, that's ALL we need." We do have virtually every other one. I tried to make it up to her today by taking my Kentucky Derby winnings and buying her some $300 handbag for Mother's Day. Let's hope that translates into a $300 handjob.

The whole panic for hippies thing is a little over-rated and out of control. Basically - once Garcia died the deadheads needed another band to follow and they picked panic. I go to one show a year - July at the Chicago theater - and they are usually awesome. We should get a music thread going - - -

T.F. Widespread Panic? I'm onboard with Augusta for sure, but I can do without the hippie shit although my favorite cousin follows them around every summer. I have to admit that I saw them in Missoula in college once. You going to put down your 4' Graffix long enough to make it Bonnaroo this year. I think they are playing all 3 nights.

You two are absolutely out of control...I want to party with you!

Come on man....I can't have my shit up on metal hangers like a friggin' animal. Didn't you see Mommy Dearest?

by the way - you hang shit up ? If you bring all your stuff to the dry cleaners - they GIVE you hangers for nothing. I want to know what happens to all of the unused hangers there have to be in this country. I mean I'm creating 8 to 10 a week. I'll save some and send 'em to you in trade for one of your "old" game systems.

Dude - that story is life in a nutshell. I can't believe I found a woman who has agreed to marry me again - and this one knows all about how I am.....a 45 year old body, a 12 year old soul and a decent job.....but I could easily kiss it all away for some great widespread panic tickets, a weekend at the masters or an interesting social website set up for degenerates.
