I'm in Long Beach, en route to Las Vegas. If anyone would like to suggest a new gambling strategy for Vegas, I'd be happy to try it. Last year's approach, entitled, 'Keep playing roulette and drinking free beers until Casino security starts to look at you in that funny way', was not a blazing success, financially speaking. Not for me, anyway. The casino was probably pretty satisfied with the way things turned out.
In Taipei last Friday night, we went to the Russian Restaurant called SALT & BREAD*. Here's the breakdown...
Food: Adequate
Live Russian accordian music: Urgh, please stop
Desert thing with the flaming liquor poured over the chocolate shell over the ice cream: pretty good
The -20 degree vodka freezer in which you have to wear these big North Face coats while you stand there and do NT$150 shots of obscure Russian vodka: Oh yeah baby.
Overall rating: Two thumbs up, a bear hug, and I didn't even know there was such a thing as Apple Vodka.
Technically the 'R' should be backwards, but I don't know how to do that in html.
Red A. I have received delivery of our "Bai ren kan bu dong" shirts. I'll wear mine over to the Chinese pavilion at the hardware show this week, and see if it helps me score some hot chicks. Oh hell. I just remembered that I work in the hardware industry, and we don't have any hot chicks.
For those of you who keep finding this site by searching for "Bai ren kan bu dong" in Google, note that the site you are probably looking for is here. The shirts are made in Honduras. Not the real heavy cotton weave, but not the cheapest stuff either.

Our strategy is to play nickel video poker until the twenty is gone and then head for the buffet.
DON'T FORGET THE CHIPOTLE TABASCO
dude,
get me a shirt, too. do they have any that say "???" instead of "??"?
btw, when you said the "R" should be backwards, which R in which word?
Russia is written "??????".
Did you wanna write "Toys '?' Us"?
The R in 'Bread' is backwards.
Funny that a shirt with a slogan in Chinese is made in Honduras.
BTW, I think you are only going to get one bottle of Chipotle Tabasco. I only bought two, and I'm going to have space problems coming back.
You are not going to pop up here and visit?
Sorry Robin, the company hands me the tickets and tells me where to go. My only part is to bitch about the airline and having to endure LAX.
Speaking of which, I would be happy to move to India or Bangladesh for the rest of my life, if it meant that I would never have to see LAX again.
LAX has maximum suckage as an airport. Although my recent trip through Chicago O'Hare after successfully avoiding O'Hare for more than a decade led me to conclude that LAX is not the worst.
Domestically, if going to Southern California, I travel through Burbank but that isn't an option available to you of course.
