Saturday night we kicked back and played cranium with Bruce and Kiwi. This lasted until about 5 a.m. Then on Sunday we kicked back and drank! ;p
Both days slept most of the day and then got up to hang out.

I had to laugh at one of the security guards here at work today. He was eating sunflower seeds and spitting the shells into a cup. While normally that would just be kind of nasty, I pointed out to him that this was the first time in a while that I had seen anyone doing that. I noted that the last time was back when I lived in Oregon.
He said “Yeah, but these are sunflower seeds, not chew.” I told him that that was true and pointed out that he had never told me to stop “using such big words” like some people in Oregon had.
George Bush meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?”
“Well,” says the Queen, “the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.” Bush frowns. “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?” The Queen takes a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle.” The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”
Tony Blair walks into the room. “Yes, my Queen?” The Queen smiles. “Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?” Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, “Well, your Majesty, that would be me.” “Yes, very good,” says the Queen.
Bush goes back home to ask Dick Cheney, his Vice President, the same question. “Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”
“I’m not sure,” says Cheney, “let me get back to you on that one.” Cheney goes to his Advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men’s room and recognizes Colin Powell’s shoes in the next stall. Cheney shouts, “Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”
Colin Powell yells back, “That’s easy. It’s me!” Cheney smiles, and says, “Thanks!” Then, Cheney goes back to speak with Bush. “I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Colin Powell.” Bush gets up, stomps over to Cheney and angrily yells into his face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”
Not that the hotel room itself sucks, but they pre-authorized my card 3 times 3 days before we even were going to use their hotel. I called the bank and had two of the pre-auth’s removed and then they did it again.
I called them and they told me that there was no way that they could have put that many holds on the card but guaranteed that it wouldn’t happen again. That is right, because I will probably never use a Ramada hotel again.
Oh, and don’t bother with their customer service, they just refer you back to the hotel manager.
