I literally got off the plane an hour ago from Vegas. I am so beyond excited to update this blog with my latest additions form yet another fun filled, head-to-head weekend with Mary. However, like I said, I just got home from Vegas which means I need to sleep for the next 36 hours.

I love how Mary incorporated our latest idea - fun facts about the states. We came up with that genius idea at 4am Saturday morning, while eating dinner (breakfast?) at a lovely restaurant called "AMERICA" (fuck yeah) which was entirely too apropos.

We also came up with another rule, after running into a few guys from different countries - we can use up to 3 guys from other countries to substitute for difficult to obtain states at the end. I like this rule because a Saudi Arabian prince totally wanted to make out with us, which surprisingly happens a lot.

Anyways, update coming soon. I have narrowed the gap!

Fun Facts

So a couple of random weekend nights over the past couple of weeks we go to da Palms. I know you are all shocked by that but it's true. There was drinking, dancing and everything. Even more bizarre was the fact that I drank too much and don't remember all of the evening including some of the fellows to follow. Since not remembering the incident does not make for a good story I am going to instead share with you some fun facts about these states. Because as MN M said, "we not only want to entertain... we want to educate."

Let's start with what I do remember...

Jen began the night by fishing in the casino and on one of her firsts casts she found me an Idiot Out Wandering Around. If you're from the midwest you know who that is. (no offense to Rob, he is clearly an exception) Did you know that the crookedest street in the world is Snake Alley located in Burlington, IA. Not sure where Mr. Iowa actually lived but it's interesting never the less. I give you Mr. IA...

Try as she might that night (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! ha!) every other catch was a state I already had. This is becoming more challenging!

Of course a birthday, especially a "Pinkalicious" one, can always draw a crowd so back we went to our favorite spot. These two fellas I do not recall which is a bummer because from these pictures they look kinda cute. After much discussion of what states I got and who had the pictures we found these on Jen's camera. Luckily someone remembered and they were willing to pull out their... IDs! (get your heads out of the gutter)

I bring you Mr. Louisiana and Mr. South Carolina (apparently it's time to start working the south)

Once again the look on the guys face is too funny. Did you know Louisiana has the tallest state capitol building in the United States; the building is 450 feet tall with 34 floors.

I'm a neck grabber this time! Ha! And one more for the road... did you know the Chitlin' Strut festival is held every year in Salley, South Carolina—attendees take part in a feast of chitlins, or boiled hog intestines. Yum sounds delicious!
