  1. Grew up in SLC, couldn't wait to escape! However, Things have changes....ALOT. It is actually a fun metropolitan city with the exception of maybe a handful of European and American cities it has become a fave. and if you like the outdoors shit.... Fuckin unbelievable (that hasn't changed). Oh the other thing, beautiful blond hair women...holy crap everywhere. The whole Mormon influence has greatly diminished but the good things remained. Go You won't regret it. However I still live in Phoenix AZ. for a reason........ “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  2. Absolutely DO, and NOT because it's the holidays. It's just being a good human being. I am a die hard Atheist and Xmas has no value in my life except to remind me I am still part of the human race. Years ago I was running a fairly successful electronics store in Scottsdale Arizona. I was like 22 years old and received an unexpected bonus, like $10 grand! of course this was still the late 80's when 10 grand was worth something. I was aware of two homeless individuals Man & woman) that used to come in every day and use our public restrooms. Some of the employees had mentioned it over the previous couple of weeks but I told them that as long as they are not harassing customers or causing a problem...let em use the freakin toilet it's not hurting biz or anything else. Anyway, Upon leaving one December evening, these two people were just exiting the store and I had a grip of money in my pocket (and I think a good after work buzz going) so I gave them , from what I remember $300-maybe $400 bucks. I said "Why don't you two go across the street and have a good meal and some great drinks on me enjoy the rest..." The lady very appreciatively took the money and said "are you kidding we don't drink. This will get us a motel room and food for a month and I can buy my grandson a Xmas present" To make a long story short these people came back three days later and wanted to work off the money I had given them. I told them they could clean the restrooms (they had been using) for the next month or two the lady pulled up her shirt sleeve and showed me that the reason they were using the restrooms every day was because they had to clean the spider bites they were receiving from sleeping out doors. Over the next few months I had a number of conversations with these two. Both were college educated and grandparents... They were well read and up on current political issues. They continued the routine until I left the company about a year later. I'll never forget them. Good, smart, people, just on a down run. Might have been the best few hundred I ever spent.... Oh except for that night in Rio....Remember I'm an atheist...No sins.. Lofty “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  3. Ok, with the above mentioned out of the way, If you want some real (local Vegas) VIP stuff, I've got PEOPLE, Let me know what Your into (shows, restaurants , whatever, Nothing illegal, you'll have to get that from your hotels concierge... Believe me he knows more than I do even if he looks like oppey Taylor!).. Lofty “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  4. Dude, Donkey show? I travel (a lot) and trust me there are only about a dozen places (on the planet) you can still see a donkey show... None of them are somewhere this guy and/ or fiance should ever be! Been to one many years ago in a . In a rural south American, god forsaken shit hole, not sexy, not fun, Just fucked up, and wrong! Lucky to get away with my life, however scarred with the memory... “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  5. OK. Lived in Vegas for a while (the longest 10 years I have spent in 24 months) Know lots of funky shit in this town... However gotta know how adventures you are u two??? The most innocent places become un-be fucking-lievable by 3 am and then back to "family fun" by 9AM. One fun little night out starts at The Hard Rock Casino... You will then stagger across the street to Paradise Lounge (stripper bar) this i s cool place for couples! very elegant and tasteful... (by Vegas standards) But still a stripper bar (made famous with Motley Crews Girls -girls Girls..) This is not Bachelor party donkey show shit... but Fun and doesn't intimidate the girls, who knows she may get more VIP room time than YOU?! My wife and I have gone a couple of times and tell-u about a mood enhancer! If you really want a play by play for the evening I will relay it via PM. Great town to visit, if I still lived there I would be dead.. Wait, That doesn't make much sense but is true!!! “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  6. Ohh, where to start? This is absolutely hilarious stuff! i actually woke up with a replay of wee-man running across the conference table going thru my friggin brain....This is officially my morning-hard-on killer ( ya know so I can pee) The Horse milk part still gags me...Uk! as does the "fat man, Steve-O, fart-helmet thing..." If you like this kind of thing, you'll love it! if however you are easily grossed-out or sickened by ANYTHING don't See it in a theater!!! Spewing popcorn across the theater is not polite, and come to think of it neither is this film “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  7. OOHH, youve heard of my X-wife? The only "Grand" I am acquainted with in reference to her however, the few H_H_Hundred grand she took from my eva-luvin ass! O sorry did that sound Bitter? “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  8. I would do the under armour thing for sure. It may be a desert but but no humidity so it can go from 60 to 0 in about 5.2 (like a Saleen Mustang, but in reverse) once the sun sets If your from Colorado you know the drill... layers baby layers (like ogres and onions). This also gives you an advantage at the mandatory Strip-poker skydiving event held every third week in January.... Oh looky here that's just when your going to be at the DZ. Lucky you! “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  9. "Any tips on what to plan on wearing underneath the jumpsuit?" HMMM... Something the medics could appreciate when they are treating you on the way to the ER with a shattered pelvis. I'm thinking Perla! Sassy yet expensive. Or anything frilly and crotchless...... ooohhh, actually I think it's been warmer at altitude than standing on the tarmac. Maybe just a neck warmer for the ride up. “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  10. How about one made of elephant foreskin? that way you could rub it gently and turn it into a handbag when needed??? then just put it in the fridge to turn it back.... “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  11. Pronounced "saw-war-o" And that is a good idea! This is "road trip heaven" lots of cool back-road drives with a lot of scenery.. I'll try and think of some good places to go not too far out of Eloy. We'll try and warm things up a little for you in the mean time “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  12. If he would like the car show I would highly recommend it! it turns into a hell of a party. This year is supposed to be bigger than ever it's cool to people watch too. Lots of movie and sports celebrities always attend, Lots of fun and good scenery,! Another thought, There is a Harley Davidson shop in Chandler, a South suburb of Phoenix (about 30-40 min. from Eloy) They have a great fleet of rental Motorcycles. He could ride during the day and out to the DZ. This is assuming that it warms a little. Today I woke up to 19F temp. not 119F (as we have in the summer) 19F.....Burr, I almost had to put on a pair a long pants... I think I only own one pair, gotta find 'em. “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  13. A company called Ellington in or near Portland OR makes real good quality leather stuff here is a link for their wallets http://ellingtonleather.com/men/men_wallet I have a couple of wallets and lots of bags and backpacks from these guys. They are famous for their leather Rucksacks I have purchase many over the years for myself and for gifts, They are not cheap but will last a lifetime! “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  14. When are you going? Lots to do between Phoenix and Tuscon... If your coming this month, The Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction is going on in Scottsdale (http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/0114auction0114a.html) , about a 1 hour drive from Eloy. If he is any kind of a car enthusiast this is the mother of all car shows/auctions. Lots of fun places to go depending on time of year. Besides golf, what is he into? “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
  15. Ooh ya slappie, Been to Texas plenty of times. What kind of people put DOZENS of 2x6 signs int their front yard expelling the virtues of their "football playing 9 year old's" and their "soon to be" debutant/ virgin 16 daughters" Bible belt my ass..... It's like visiting a an 11th century village market, without anything real to sell..... including the village virgins! You people make Utah, polygamy Mormons look main stream bible thumpers!!!! “Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.” Famous Irish saying...
