Big Time
I have a day off and I don’t know what to do with myself. I walked to the bank, bought a 1.75 bottle of Absolut and am doing laundry.
God’s Team (the Milwaukee Brewers) aren’t playing on the MLB Network until 2 PM EST, so I probably shouldn’t start drinking that vodka until then.
Proving just how bored I am and having no clue what to do with myself when I’m not working, I figured I’d see if anyone out there could possibly be a bigger nerd than I am when packing up for a trip to Clark County, NV.
It’s pretty much a given that the pictured items will be included with my carry-on on a given trip (minus the blade, if I remember)…and I’m not embarrassed to admit it.
It’s rare that I won’t stay in a hotel room that doesn’t have an oven, so when I feel I’ve donated enough in the casinos and feel like I want to hang myself, I’ll bake a lasagna (hence the pan, you dig)?). Or I’ll bake some smiley face cookies and hand them out to drunk people on the elevators. (then they punch me in the face).
I need my cutting board to cut fruit, cocktail garnish and lasagna (and it’s something I can use if hanging myself doesn’t ‘feel’ right).
Occasionally I’ll bring my Cook Pro Inc. Stainless Steel Cocktail Mixer, but most of the rooms have something along those lines. It’s really for the low-rent hotels downtown when I need to use it.
I bring my own soap because it’s better than any of the crap even the really nice hotels have. It makes me feel real fresh and it lasts me all week long. It’s the kind of soap that has those little shards of glass (or tree bark….crushed granite) baked inside. I don’t know why they do that, but it smells good and has never been the cause of an open wound.
The Bose speaker is arguably the best $200 I’ve ever spent. It’s invaluable to me when I’m mixing booze, cutting up cantaloupe and washing my pale skin. Death metal, punk rock, soft hits from the 70’s, French jazz, you name it. It don’t matter none. This thing work real good.
The one item I stopped packing was my 12 oz bottle of Trader Joe’s Organic Blue Agave…wrapped in bubble wrap. I need it for my Old Fashioneds and Southern Cucumbers, OK? This one time, TSA opened it up, cracked the seal and never bothered to rewrap the bottle of close the lid and I opened my suitcase with all of my hot fashions/hippest designed threads lathered in syrup. I wasn’t too happy, folks.
But it taught me a valuable lesson (other than TSA is completely incompetent). Don’t pack agave. They sell it in stores in Las Vegas, really. You can buy it there. It’s true.
So what completely idiotic, OCD-like sh_t do you have to pack? I’ll be waiting.
