^ I used to play Catan and Axis & Allies with friends from college. I still occasionally play A&A long distance against my college roommate by phone. If you've never played the 1940:Europe and 1940:Pacific versions, they are awesome.

Like a Desire Encyclopedia! Clearly you and OWG are competing for the gold and silver and the rest of us are just chasing bronze.

^ sometimes that's effective, sometimes not. In my experience at Desires if a dancer on stage tells you that she'll come find you after she gets off, it's about a 50-50 proposition.

TC - Axis & Allies?

Poker. Or sports card collecting.

I like the Winter Olympics more, but I'll be watching often in the evenings.

In my general area, Water Country in Portsmouth, NH was always fun.

For all who are saying that the VP pick doesn't make much of an impact, that very well might usually be the case, but as far as I am aware this is the first time in the history of this country that a nominee for President has named their VP nominee days after an assassination attempt, thereby highlighting precisely how important a VP could potentially be. We are in uncharted waters right now.

I cannot stand EDM, and since that is the night's theme I have zero intention of going.

To me, this was his worst possible pick for VP. I said to someone yesterday that after the assassination attempt, I was sure that he was going to pick Vance. After brushing with his own mortality, he went with the guy whom he is most sure if something happens to him, will govern in the manner that Trump will, as opposed to someone like Burgum, Youngkin, Rubio etc. that would have likely governed more moderately than Trump. He will not appear to undecideds much at all. Trump had a chance to reach out here and try to widen the net a bit and instead chose to throw red meat to his base. Again.

Rockie - Sorelle's is also very good, but if I want to have Italian food in that area, I prefer to go a mile or two further south on Route 18 and go to Mia Regazza which I love.

This thread reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about looking at cleavage.

I agree with Puddy in that I'm surprised to hear that about Alanna. She's always been reliable in my personal experience. I had a recent VIP experience with Toni that was a refresher on why it's often best to avoid a visibly intoxicated dancer. There won't be a repeat.

Push up bras can be the modern equivalent of stuffing socks in the bra. False advertising says I.

3 decades, approximately 25 or so clubs in 4 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

Ski - Yes, of course.

Damn, I didn't see the earlier thread. Apologies.

Puddy - my pizza go to has been hamburger and onion for a long time. Not specific to Town Spa, just in general.

Man, this was so detailed it's as if you're trying to give OWG a run for his money. Well done sir.

A few weeks ago, South Shore bar pizza at Town Spa in Stoughton, MA. Far from fine dining, but as someone who grew up south of Boston and have lived here most of my life, the good bar pizza joints qualify as a great meal for me. Especially now since I'm type 2 diabetic and I don't have pizza that often, I appreciate it that much more when I do.

I read it yesterday. I found it disturbing.

I remember when it was The Fuzzy Grape and they advertised on the radio on WAAF. Now both The Fuzzy Grape and WAAF are long gone. I feel old...

"A Midnight Clear." A very interesting (and little seen) World War II movie that came out in 1992 starring Ethan Hawke and Gary Sinise among others. Well worth a watch.

^ you meant Tom Hanks, not Tom Cruise.

A pretty good rule of thumb is that if you are asking if something is a dumb idea, you probably already know the answer.
