Official Random Thoughts Thread
I want a topic where we can just talk about anything. We seem to have a good little community of regular posters here and we could stand a place to talk about non-Cub things. You can ask or post anything. Need a quick gumbo recipe? Need another guy for a neighbourhood game of stickball? Want to brag about your love of The Sandlot? Do it here. It could also increase traffic, maybe allowing us to overtake the Yankees board someday.
Or it could dissapear in a few days. Who knows, but lets give it a shot.
Anyways, for my first post here, I could use some help. The situation is this; I have a date planned with my girlfriend, but a nice casino oppurtunity looms with some buddies. What's a good excuse to use on her? Keeping her anger at a low level is the main priority.

I don't have to bring the casino into the lie here, just anything that gets me out of going out with her.
By decieving her, I'm sparing her feelings. And in that way, I honour her.
Me and you GYBE. We got a lot in common.
Whenever I have this conundrum I always tell my g/f...
"Honey, I know we have a night planned tonight, but I wasn't able to get accomodations where I wanted to take you. Tommorrow is better, is that ok with you?"(acting as if it was a surprise, don't tell her though)
She'll be so happy you actually planned something she'll have no other option of saying yes.
Then go buy some movie tickets(a movie she would like, of course) and some time during your date tell her the movie was sold out and the restaurant you were going to didn't have a reservation convenient to the time of the movie you wanted to take her to. The restaurant is like icing on the cake, you don't have to include that. Of course you can flip flop the movie and restaurant and just use one or the other.
You avoid the date tonight and hang out with your boys while making her even more happy.

That's a good call. It requires planning something tomorrow night, but I'm cool with that.
Apparently there was a soccer riot not far from my house last night. Toronto's hosting the Under-20 World Cup, and after the Argentina-Chile game, the Chile team started fighting with the police and some fans went after the refs. Even on another continent these guys still incite riots.

Tell me what it's like to look at hundreds of cornfields.

EXCITEMENT!
That's why I love living near and around a big city. Driving for 4 hours in nothing but cornfields can put you to sleep real fast.
