[Okla-homey]

It starts tomorrow. All the Tulsey TV met. guys are sporting wood. Best you get some wood yourself, for the fireplace.

[Mjcpr]

I'd rather have 10 Christmas Eve storms than 1 of the ice storm mother ****ers. :mad:

[tommieharris91]

I'd rather have 10 Christmas Eve storms than 1 of the ice storm mother ****ers. :mad:

WE'RE GETTING 1000" OF SNOW ON TOP OF 100" OF ICE!!!!:gary:

[tommieharris91]

But look on the bright side. If global warming kicks in, this is just gonna be a bucket of rain.

[SunnySooner]

Everybody stay safe up there, ice storms are a beyotch.

[fadada1]

hang in there, folks. ice = stay inside

[Petro-Sooner]

Loaded up on groceries and beer today.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Lucky me. It's just raining and 50 or so here in the Vegas Valley.

Good luck guys.

[OUHOMER]

I'll stock up on the way to work this morning, gas up the truck, get a carton of smokes.

Hope for the best

[MrJimBeam]

12"+ snow right through the middle of Rogers county = THE suck. Maybe we'll only get about 1/2" of ice. Along with all the supplies one would usually load up on in weather situations like this I've also have a good supply of hard copy pron just in case I lose power.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!

[OklahomaTuba]

Holy ****, don't go near a ****ing walmart if you can avoid it. Its CHAOS!!!!

[C&CDean]

All kidding aside, I'm leaving work early today to set out extra bales of hay for the cows, air up the tires on the generator trailer and gas er' up, move another half-rick or so of seasoned wood up onto the porch, and make room in one of the barns to pull in a couple of trucks so I don't have to scrape ice off them to go feed.

Like Pat already mentioned, I'll take 100" of snow over 1" of ice, and right where they're predicting the most ice is where the farm is. ****.

[1890MilesToNorman]

I hire people to go to Walmart for me.

So it's teh hawt wife's and my third anniversary today...and we're in Vegas celebrating...we're supposed to fly home tomorrow...I think the odds of that happening are somewhere between 0 and not a snowball's chance in hell.

Oh well...

Third anniversary? pfft. I think that calls for a Baby Ruth and bouquet of pansies. But I realize since she's very old and may not live long enough to make it to one of the biggies like 10 or 20, you wanna do all you can now.;)

[Okla-homey]

seriously,

I just overheard one of the secretaries on the phone to a friend say, they are saying we could get up to 36"!

It's a catastrophe people! To heck with Haiti, send aid and money to NE OKlahoma NOW!

I agree. When wimmen get that old, they can break a hip and be dead in a month.:D

[Flagstaffsooner]

Pussies. Flagstaff had 54" of snow last week.

[C&CDean]

Snow. Not ice. Pay attention.

[picasso]

We have no trees left to lose people.

[OULenexaman]

look at the bright side.....you'll always have a clear shot to the green.....

[hellogoodbye]

it's already a nightmare at walmart

[OULenexaman]

when is it not a nightmare at walmart...

[OUMallen]

All I need now is beer, diet coke, and some lunchables and I'm golden.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Snow. Not ice. Pay attention.It turns to ice.

This dude's in Vegas all the time and he still hasn't got drunk with me while his elderly wife hangs out with my fat wife!

:eek:

[Crucifax Autumn]

It turns to ice.

I thought it just turned into cotton candy and all the kids cleaned up.

[OUHOMER]

I was going to go to wal mart, but the damn parking lot was full. I decided, i didnt need anything that bad.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I was going to Wal Mart too, but after that wife post I'm probably just going to hell instead.

[btk108]

Southwest canceled all Thurs afternoon flight in and out of OKC

[GottaHavePride]

Already? Dang.

And the Super Target looked like a demilitarized zone. Went over there a couple of hours ago... good thing I didn't need eggs, bread, water, milk, fruit, soup, or beer.

[picasso]

Went to Wal-Mart Market today at 3:30. They were nearly out of bread.

Wow.

[Breadburner]

I dont even keep bread at home.....

[Boarder]

Go to Wright's. Support local businesseses.

[Sooner98]

Yes, I can vouch that Wright's had bread tonight.

[Eielson]

when is it not a nightmare at walmart...

Yup. I always knew women couldn't drive, but I wasn't aware they couldn't push a shopping cart.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Well, we are stuck out here for another day...bummer. We are gonna try to get home tomorow via Minneapolis...but I have already booked a room up there for tomorrow night just in case.

[JohnnyMack]

Dude just stay in Vegas and bang and gamble and eat. Why rush home?

[NormanPride]

He and the wife have Matlock waiting for them on the DVRs.

[JohnnyMack]

True. The Golden Girls isn't just gonna watch itself.

[badger]

A few days ago I asked NP if he needed anything from the store before the storm and all he requested were potatoes. I, however, went nuts and stocked up on a lot of other useless crap, like fruits and veggies and cereal and stuff.

If I was thinking, I would have gotten bread, but I wasn't. A lot of places here in Tulsa are closing down, businesses and schools and such. They canceled their rabble rousing city council meeting. The snow plows with salt were out even before the rain started (which it now has here).

While they no longer predict 10 inches of snow for Tulsa County, they still predict a few inches and are increasing their ice predictions as the snow prediction falls. Dooooooooooooooooommmmmmmm

Also, as we are all about to freeze to death, I suggest everyone confess something to the board before they go.

[GottaHavePride]

So...I am in Houston. When is this going to hit?

[C&CDean]

My penis really IS 9".

[SoonerJack]

He and the wife have Matlock waiting for them on the DVRs.
:D lol

[C&CDean]

When I fold it in half.

[Stitch Face]

I secretly hope it bypasses us and hits Haiti :O

[OULenexaman]

man your radar looks like **** down there.....the mother of all winter storms..

[Okla-homey]

Actually, it's turning out to be pretty much a non-event. Damn weather terrorists. But schools and airline traffic in the Tulsa metro are shut down based on the flippin' forecast. When I was in the USAF, we never cancelled nuttin' based on a forecast. Because we were smart. And stuff.

Now, the good part. I figured that since I was running low on beer, I'd stop off at the liquor store on the way home yesterday amid the utter civil panic and general over-reaction. I did. Mrs. Homey, being a superb wife and my best friend realizing the same problem, and without being asked to do so by moi, did the same thing. Thus, Icey Storm of Death, which never actually panned-out, is responsible for there being two cases of fine imported 6.0 beer in mi casa. WIN!

[OULenexaman]

you'll need help....but I can't fly in....crap...

[Stitch Face]

Actually, it's turning out to be pretty much a non-event.

I don't know, the hype is building by the minute still. Can't tell if it's just hype or one of those sure things so the weathermen are going all in. I called BS on these things until Christmas. Never seen snow like that in the OKC area before.

[C&CDean]

It might be hype up in Tulsy, but the kid just called from the ranch and said the power is out and there's tree limbs everywhere on the ground - and it's getting worse. They just released us from work, so now I'm off to the Deanarosa. Safe travels to those of us who are actually having an event.

[proud gonzo]

i dunno how it looks in Tulsa, but it's looking bad in Norman already. Been raining all day. The roads are just starting to get really slick, but the trees and everything else above ground has a half inch of ice on it already. Trees are looking pretty bad. My neighbor already has limbs littering the yard and my fiance's Jeep is absolutely encased in ice. I'm planning to stay in the house for a couple of days.

[proud gonzo]

good luck, dean--get home safe!

[Stitch Face]

Yuck. I've got to get back to BA from Muskogee this evening.

BTW, I heard that all the stores are out of bread after the runs on the store for supplies. Do people sit at home during a storm and eat bread? Like, more bread than they would normally eat during a 3-5 day period? Weird.

[RacerX]

It has turned to sleet in Edmond.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Ff1XOcQcGuI/S2IDjyt173I/AAAAAAAAFlE/qeZleZKkflg/s640/IMG_4271.JPG

[proud gonzo]

people raid the stores because they don't cook at home at all, ever. Unless they can't get out of the house.

It's also changed to sleet here too, and still coming down.

[Okla-homey]

I hear you can't buy batteries either. Here's a tip. Adult novelty stores (a/k/a "Priscilla's," "Christies Toy Box," etc.) always have plenty of batteries in the popular sizes of 9v, D, C, AA and AAA. Learned that one during the 2007 Icey Storm of Death.;)

[SoonerInKCMO]

Not too bad here on the NW OKC side... yet... there's a good coating of slush though that's going to freeze in the next few hours. Morning is gonna bite.

[Flagstaffsooner]

:gary: All you f'n hillbillies go out and buy bread and stay tuned to 9.;)

[thesnowbishop]

Trees are kindy splodin' here around Ada, mother nature prunin' like. Rain all day and about 3/8" ice on trees. It all depends on the wind. There's my report :gary: .

Oh man I'm jealous here. I plan on painting tonight and burning the midnight oil, only with no adult beverages.
I can always raid the neighbor's garage or break out the Brett Favre pain killers cabinet.:D

[Stitch Face]

It's for sandwiches.

The bread.

My wife just educated me.

[OhU1]

The ice storm was not hype in the Lawton area. We got hit hard, snapped power lines, the works. I was without power from 2:00 until about 8:30.

My new oak looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree after he put the ornament on. The top of the tree is touching the ground. Lawton just got what hit Norman in December 2007.

[JLEW1818]

I'll be heading to Dallas tomorrow from Tyler.. should i be okay?

yall be safe up there. don't be driving unless you have to, it aint worth it.

[Soonerus]

From Norman and north we dodged the bullet... luckily...

[Fraggle145]

Anyone know the road conditions in the Arbuckles?

[C&CDean]

This is ****ed people. My front pastures look like a tornado went through, and it's still coming down. I've got at least 100 pecan trees that are either damaged, or completely destroyed. Some trees are even uprooted, and there's one that's down that me and another person couldn't put our arms around. Probably 200 year old tree. Gone.

We lost power yesterday, and it's looking like we won't have it back for several days. There are snapped powerpoles all over the place, power lines in the roads and in the bar ditches, trees laying on power lines and across driveways and roads. It's the worst I've ever seen. But the ****ing roads are just wet, and you can drive 50 without a problem until you get to about Slaughterville/Noble. The further north the trees aren't as bad, but the roads are crappy. I'd trade the trees for some crappy roads any time. I'm gonna be cleaning up pasture for a year after this one. ****.

[Stitch Face]

Don't ever fall in love with trees. They will only break your heart. Just be friends.

[btk108]

Yikes, Dean, that sucks, looks like ya'll got the worst of it. I'm assuming we'll have some pecan smoked meat next season at the tailgate?

[C&CDean]

We'll have pecan smoked meat for the next umpteen years. Seriously, never seen anything like it. What's so weird is how quick it changes from tree/powerline devistation to just a little ice. I'm 30 miles SE of Norman, and the difference in destruction in that 30 miles is amazing.

[1890MilesToNorman]

They were clearing trees from the side of the interstate up here for 5 years after our ice storm in I believe 1997.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Were they smoking the meat too or is that just Dean's thang? :eek:

[1890MilesToNorman]

They found a couple of moose kabobs along the way so yes.

[Crucifax Autumn]

They found a couple of moose knobs along the way so yes.

:eek:

[1890MilesToNorman]

:eek:

that's plagiarism and a crime against smoking!!!

[Crucifax Autumn]

Hey everyone! In Maine they smoke moose knob!

[1890MilesToNorman]

What happens in Maine eventually get's to Vegas.

That's our motto.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm sure I can look out the window right now and see SOMEONE smoking SOME KIND of knob, no doubt!

[1890MilesToNorman]

Just shoveled the snow off my driveway and the neighbor's driveway about an hour ago. There's another inch or so there now.

[Okla-homey]

BTW, I am flippin' delighted we moved last weekend.

also, BTW, I have a fair amount of heavy crap in my garage I need moved to my attic. I am tired, old, cranky, and frankly, too sore now to mess with it. Silly me, I figured, with schools closed and all, I could find a couple of high school boys who wanted to earn $20.00 an hour lugging said stuff from garage to attic, which is competely decked and doesn't involve a ladder, but is accesible through a standard door off one of the upstairs rooms.

Bottomline, no soap. We called everyone we know with HS boys and none of them would leave the xBox long enough to come over and help a brutha. Heck, I even offered to come get them in my Jeep. :rolleyes:

I shudder for the future of our country.

[SoonerStormchaser]

We are stuck in Minneapolis tonight...MAYBE home via Atlanta tomorrow...not holding my breath!

if that included driving time up the Turner i'd probably do that :D

[Tiptonsooner]

I'm south of Altus and we are definitely iced in. Last word was no power for at least 48 hrs. Can't find a generator anywhere and only have enough kerosene to last another day. Gonna get rough.

[JohnnyMack]

We are stuck in Minneapolis tonight...MAYBE home via Atlanta tomorrow...not holding my breath!

You shoulda stayed in Vegas and banged the weekend away.

[SoonerStormchaser]

We did...now it's time to go home cause I have lots of grown up military stuff to do come Monday morning.

[Crucifax Autumn]

And once again, no visit with the almighty Cru! :mad: :(

:D

[Soonerus]

Roads are still pretty tough between OKC and Norman...very surprising...

[Crucifax Autumn]

I hear there's almost as much ice and snow as there are posts about security warnings on Soonerfans.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Sorry Cru...maybe if I am ever out there for a Red flag

[Crucifax Autumn]

If you can time a visit for the end of July Collier's gonna be out here and StoopTroup said he might try to pop out at the same time if he can. We can make it a big party if so.

[JohnnyMack]

I already shoveled my driveway. The rest of you lazy bastards prolly ain't even up yet.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I haven't been asleep since Thursday morning, but I don't have anything to shovel in Vegas other than gang shooting victims and dead hookers.

[JohnnyMack]

Amatuer. You don't shovel dead hookers. You chop them up and put them in igloo coolers.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I just freeze 'em for later thawing and use!

Third day without power and it is f'in cold. Duncan has power now, so I am going to have to get a hotel for the wife and babies. Kids are sick. Not good.

[yermom]

never lost power, just busted water main... luckily i can shower at work

[C&CDean]

Hells yes! The power just came back on at the Deanarosa!! I just got home from picking up another couple 5-gallon cans of fuel for the generator, and stopping by the likker store and the walmarts for some sammich stuff. Before we could leave we had to help the neighbor across the road who had a monster post oak tree laying all the way across the road from his place to mine. Fence destroyed, etc.

After checking on the cows and looking around it's gonna take a lot more than a year to clean up from this one. Hell, I may never get it all cleaned up. I don't think I have a single tree on the whole ****ing 300 acres that isn't damaged or destroyed. Fences all tore up, cows with icicles hanging off their ears, and enough firewood for the next 50 years. But hey, I can take a hot shower now, and not have to tote a flashlight around with me everywhere. If I can figure out how, I'll post a couple pics.

Wow, Dean, that's just AWWWFULLL!!!! Sorry bro. I got a couple couches and an airmattress if you and the fam want to just say screw it and come soak up some sun for a few days. Hope it's not as bad as it seems, bud.

[OhU1]

I got my power back Thursday night (when I made a previous post) then the power went down again and has been out since. Power lines are down all over the Lawton area and the road as far as Chickesha (sp). I wouldn't be surprised if the power is down for a week for many in southern and SW Oklahoma. I made my escape this morning and came up to Norman. I don't plan to go back until Tuesday. Being without the juice is pretty damn boring and chilly

Not fun.

Those poor cattle. Sheesh, is there a more miserable existence? Don't know why, I've just always felt really bad for them.

Glad your power is back, Deano. Hope to hear from more who've been through this hellish storm.

[C&CDean]

Yeah, I've got a bunch more but I don't feel like posting them. The pics don't even come close to describing the destruction. Hell, there's not even a weed that isn't broken in half. I'm gonna start cutting **** off the road tomorrow (if it'll warm up enough to start melting the 2+inches of ice that are on everything). For the first time ever, my satellite (Dish) went out. When we called, they said "you need to clean the snow off your dish." I went out there, got out a ladder, and there was some snow. I cleaned it off, but underneath and on all the dish components was at least 2 solid inches of ice. I broke that **** all off, and it's working good. Of course neither of the OU games are on TV now, but at least I can watch KSU give KU a game of it.

I'm gonna sponsor a "Clean up the Deanarosa" party here pretty soon. All the beer/whisky/tequila/martinis you can drink, and all the steak, ribs, chicken, turkey, brisket, and Slovacek's sausages you can eat. Just come out, and be willing to work.

If i bring the Wife out to work...can I still eat and drink till she's done?

[C&CDean]

If Trina can chunk some wood, and keep up with Big Daddy on the chainsaw you can eat/drink/be merry to your fat asses content. Can she drive a tractor? If so, you're in trouble mister...

[StoopTroup]

Seen her fly a Helicopter....a tractor though...I don't know....lol

[picasso]

Dean man, I'm really sorry. That looks all too familiar.

You've got a great place, I hope it get's back into shape in due time.

[Sooner04]

The poor cattle. Man, that's awful.

[ouduckhunter]

I'm sorry Dean. Looks like you have a beautiful place, and it sucks that this happened to you.

[Mjcpr]

I'm sorry Dean. Looks like you have a beautiful place, and it sucks that this happened to you.

Indeed. I think I'd rather it happened to Soonerus. Maybe jlew.

[proud gonzo]

Yeah, I've got a bunch more but I don't feel like posting them. The pics don't even come close to describing the destruction. Hell, there's not even a weed that isn't broken in half. I'm gonna start cutting **** off the road tomorrow (if it'll warm up enough to start melting the 2+inches of ice that are on everything). For the first time ever, my satellite (Dish) went out. When we called, they said "you need to clean the snow off your dish." I went out there, got out a ladder, and there was some snow. I cleaned it off, but underneath and on all the dish components was at least 2 solid inches of ice. I broke that **** all off, and it's working good. Of course neither of the OU games are on TV now, but at least I can watch KSU give KU a game of it.

IN.

[olevetonahill]

Dean, Id be there in a heart beat If my back would let me do anything. But Id just be in the way.:O

I remember the Ice we had here in 2000, i went 18 days without lectric, had to cut 32 trees outta my Drive which is maybe 75 yards Long, Just to get to the road. My Son and I drove to town cuttin trees outta the road on the way in then had to cut more that had fallen on the way back. spent 3 days Going By Neighbors shacks and opening their drives.

All these peeps worrying about yer Cows should be there with blankets and **** fer em .;)

[Crucifax Autumn]

No crap! I've got a ton of frozen beef, what's different about this? lol

[Collier11]

Good luck to Dean and all of us who have damage, its been a strange and challenging winter

[Okla-homey]

Dean,

Far be it from me to give you Deandarosa maintenance advice, but I learned this in the wake of Hurricane Hugo in SC back in the day. When cutting up downed trees with a chainsaw, pay attention to what you're cutting because you may be cutting a sizable branch or trunk that is pinning down a different branch or trunk that will unexpectedly spring back or up with incredible force, thus hurting you bady. Or worse.

And, ideally, wear a helmet and eye protection.

Be careful man.

[olevetonahill]

Yea we dont want ya cuttin yer leg with a chainsaw er nuthin.:eek:

Yeah, watch out for the middle one in particular. :eek: That could cause bigger problems than the left and right.

[C&CDean]

Yeah, and Mike Morgan is a ****ing liar too. He said it was gonna be sunny yesterday afternoon. It wasn't. It's supposed to be sunny today. It ain't. The only thing he got halfway right was the low winds (thank God). It's still about 19 degrees. Here's a pic from the porch. If you look close, you can see the grandkids' trampoline all smashed under the tree. The second pic is of the clothesline back toward one of the barns.

[Boarder]

So what is your plan, or have you formulated one? You have a ravine to put all the branches? I figured you'd cut the applicable ones up for firewood (for the entire state) but there's only so much mulching you can do. You gonna dig a big hole and bury any? The big trees may be prety tough to deal with, too. You got one of those old two person saws?

[Boarder]

Oh, yeah, you have a three point mounted splitter?

[Crucifax Autumn]

Gigantic everyone invited Soonerfans bonfire!

[I Am Right]

I know it is bad when a weather guy stands on a bridge and tells me we are all going to die if we drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[C&CDean]

Oh, yeah, you have a three point mounted splitter?

I have a trailered splitter. Those 3-point ones will burn up the hydraulic pump on your tractor unless you've got one (like my big John Deere) with a detent on the hydraulic lever. I've split at least 150+ ricks of wood with it, but this is gonna set a new record.

I'll probably just do like I've done when I clear pasture. Cut the firewood up, then push all the brush into a pile. Light that puppy off and have one of those 10-day bonfires going. And that's no lie. I've lit one off, and it burned like hell for a couple days, then smoldered for a couple, then kind of went out. A week or so later I threw a bunch of brush on it and within 30-minutes she's blazing again. It's amazing how long those hot embers stay hot. That's why people have big-assed brushfire a week after they burned brush. The wind kicks up and there goes a fire.

I just need the ice and snow to melt some so I can get started. The only melting is in the pasture on the ground. The trees are still splitting. I was feeding the cows about an hour ago and all of a sudden "crack!" in the woods next to me and another tree comes down. I had to hammer the ice off the chains on all the gates, and hammer ice off the gates to open them cause with the ice they weighed a ton. I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but ice sucks. Big. My old 85' Ford F-250 feed truck with the 6.9 diesel wouldn't start - for the first time ever. Batteries are now dead from cranking. I had to pull the 09' out into the pasture to feed tonight.

Anynow, I will be planning a cleanup party when we get a little warm weather. I'll expect everyone to show.

[olevetonahill]

But have you Taken Blankets and shat and covered up yer Poor cows?

[Crucifax Autumn]

Anynow, I will be planning a cleanup party when we get a little warm weather. I'll expect everyone to show.

A little too much of a commute for me to show up unless plane tickets are included.

[C&CDean]

Nah, them cows are tougher than nails. I had about 8 young calves (a couple less than a week old) all piled up in a round bale feeder laying up in the hay. They were toasty as hell. I've got a few mommas who are fixin' to drop. I've seen them born in a ice storm with ice and crap all over them shivering like a leaf - then go out the next afternoon and the new calf is romping around. I have lots of respect for the hardiness of cattle. Of course my cattle are well fed, have easy access to water, etc. A lot of other folks' cattle are going to die in this weather.

[C&CDean]

A little too much of a commute for me to show up unless plane tickets are included.

pffft. We come to Vegas to lose our ****ing *** and you're too cheap to spring for a ticket to come out here and help a brother out and get fed and drink to your heart's content? Slacker poontang.

[Crucifax Autumn]

LOL..If all you bastards were still coming to Vegas we wouldn't have a 13% unemployment rate and I'd have the cash to get there!

[C&CDean]

Actually, I quit going out there. I used to be able to get a room at Caeser's or The Excalibur (yeah, I'm dating myself as those were the new hot joints back then) for $19 a night, with a .99 cent buffet anywhere you went. I remember when Fremont Street was > The Strip. I remember going into Binion's Horseshoe and looking at $1mil. And even with that, I never spent a dime on a meal or a room. Comped for everything playing at a $5 blackjack table.

I talked to somebody the other day who said their room at one of the new hotels (don't remember which one) was like $199 and the buffet was $29.99. **** that. I'll eat at the hizzouse and run up to the Neverwin indian joint.

[yermom]

Neverwin needs free drinks...

that still doesn't make it worth a flight though :D

[Chuck Bao]

Dean, if you still have trees to clear in May, I'll help you when I am in. I can do and drive anything on a farm. I just hope my mom's pecan groves were not as badly affected by the ice. They are more than 100 years old and that would be a great pity to see them brought down.

Pretty much dead on, Im staying in a suite at MGM grand in July and it ran me $430 for 3 nights, a normal room is about $50-100 a night depending on the hotel. Buffets are hard to find for less than $20-30, I ate at Subway two Julys ago and it ran me and the lady $30, at f***ing subway.

[Crucifax Autumn]

You dumbasses need to wander off the strip a little bit. You can get rooms at old Vegas prices and buffets are 6-8 bucks for lunch and 10-12 for dinner.

[delhalew]

They ran a temporary line and got us power saturday night.
None of the pipes busted. The kids are all toasty now.

I've never seen so many downed poles and lines. Looks like a pretty, white, glass covered war zone. Trying to drive around you constantly have to turn around. Tree blocking the road or transformers and lines in the road. CRAZY.

[yermom]

but then i have to drive :mad:


remind me to ask you about this again in a few months :D

i usually stay at Circus Circus or Imperial Palace lately... i'm not paying for it anyway though

[Crucifax Autumn]

Heh...If your not paying, live it up. Otherwise you can have a friggin' blast by just seeing the sights on the strip and Fremont and just enjoy what bargains you can find there. When you wanna start eating and ****, go to the neighborhood casinos and live it up. Everything from 2 dollar breakfasts to 4.99 prime rib dinners to the lower priced buddets I mentioned before.

[1890MilesToNorman]

I want food, hookers and gambling fer free Crux, can ya hook me up? Airfare would be nice too.

[olevetonahill]

Long storey short
I was driving down the Strip when the Lights went out in 69.

Weired feling.

BS! The old strip still costs $75 a night, now I hear the casa de crux hosts as many as 20 people for as little as a case a beer a night, it comes with a place to sleep and a full plate of bacon??

[btk108]

mmmmmmmmmmmm....bacon

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Everywhere EXCEPT dumpsters and the back of dangerous looking people's vans.

[Collier11]

where? Circus Circus :eek:

[yermom]

i didn't say they were nice places :D

[Collier11]

I dont have to have nice but atleast a step up from that place or the stratosphere

[yermom]

Circus Circus isn't bad, it's just not close to anything

it's real close to the Riviera though, which is where my nerd conference is every year :D

i stayed at the Luxor once, i wasn't impressed.

[Collier11]

Yea the Luxor isnt that great, I liked the Monte Carlo as it is right in the middle and fairly nice, staying at the MGM grand this yr

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I liked that Waste Management dumpster down the street from the Frontier.

You aren't supposed to be doing much in your room but passing out drunk anyway unless it's a honeymoon or some ****. You get an off-strip, off Fremont Neighborhood Casino for Motel 6 prices or sometimes less and your still 5 minutes from all the shiny lights and Ocean's 11 scenery and all that jazz. It's not like it matters that much, even the supposed nice places are all fake anyway...Duh! It's Vegas, land of gambling, booze, tits, and cheap food. If you're worried about having the finest sheets and a friggin' bidet you aren't doing it right.

[JohnnyMack]

You can get Mandalay for $100 a night and THE Hotel for $120 if you work at it.

Stop being a bunch of cheap ****s.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I can get meth AND a doughnut at Super 8 for $39.95 a night.

SUCK IT, CAESAR.

[Boarder]

Lordy, I'd hate to see what you considered bad!


Riviera is a ton better than CC. Plus, it's right across from Slots'o'fun, the peopleofwalmart.com of Vegas.

[LilSooner]

Imperial Palace is under 75 dollars a night, the rooms are god awful, but the drinks are damn strong.

Planet Hollywood had a deal going on this summer that was pretty sweet you got a very large bottle of alcohol for every night you stayed. It was the win. Also I suggest the Bally's penny sluts I won 600 bucks killing time there and paid for half of our last trip.
