ISU 23 -- #8 Iowa 3

A perfect Saturday:

- perusing the EXPO home design center to look at stuff that you can't possibly afford and would have to be seriously sick in the head to even want. $895 for a single lawn chair!! Please explain that to me. But we did see a jacuzi with a built-in 42" plasma TV. Very cool and completely pointless.

- strolling through Kierland Commons in Scottsdale to gawk and make fun of the rich, pretty people. Scottsdale is the Beverly Hills of Arizona ... where zip code and plastic surgery trump social conscience and intelligence.

- ending up at our alumni friend Scott's place in Tempe to watch college football ... specifically the dismantling of #8 Iowa by our Iowa State Cyclones!! My condolences to the Great White Bear as Michigan lost in one of the other games we watched.

- eating Ted's Hot Dogs and drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ales while watching the games. Nothing like downing some empty carbs. Mmmmm. I think I'll have to do some serious hiking tomorrow to atone for this.

If I had a jacuzi, nobody better bring me the phone when it rings or ruin my mood by turning on a TV. Seriously, what is it with people? Can't anyone one go five minutes without a TV buzzing in their face and a cell phone in their hand?

thanks....

frankly, it would have been a lot easier to take if I had been watching it on a 42" hd screen while sitting in the jacuzzi with a cold beer and loose woman!

wow, my ultimate fantasy. jacuzzi, 42" Hd tv, beer, Lions superbowl, loose woman (already done the jacuzzi, beer, loose woman, Stanley cup finals thing, but it was with a crummy 26" standard def tv)!

It was $16,000! Crazy, crazy, crazy.

I'd never buy one but if someone were to give it to me, I'd put it to good use.

*laughing*

...or a loose woman in their other hand?

sheesh!

I've seen that one, used to be 26,000, so it's come down in price. What I don't understand is that after watching a movie you'd come out looking like a shar pei.

I stand corrected. Michelle said it was $26,000. Guess I won't be going out this week to get it.

yeah, I guess 16 grand is an awful lot of money to spend to entice loose women!
