I thought you were slamming on The Killers so I looked up their wikipedia bios and I was like 'there's no drunken eschewing of spouses on here how does Anacro know this stuff about an over-hyped pop-culture icon' and then a little light bulb went off and I looked at the wiki article for the capsules themselves

"
Others (especially on weekdays) are often too inebriated to safely travel to their homes, or too embarrassed to face their spouses.[3] With continued recession in Japan, as of early 2010 more and more guests -- roughly 30% at the Capsule Hotel Shinjuku 510 in Tokyo -- were either unemployed or underemployed and were renting capsules by the month.[4]
"

well cute.

In the future at the rate things are going we will probably all live in capsules.

Those things are basically my worst nightmare. Enclosed spaces are not my thing. Good thing my father wasn't BF Skinner.

Well then I guess I won't forward Pedro the order form.

But you see, if you'd been raised in the scientifically optimal child rearing environment of the AirCrib you wouldn't have these psychological deficiencies.

Niiiiiiiiiiice.

A truer story:  In the book "Bringing Down the House," the MIT blackjack team ends up with a large quantity of high-value chips at the MGM Grand, and due to circumstance, will not be able to cash them readily lest they arouse suspicion.

The solution:  they work out a deal with a bunch of strippers to cash them in small batches, as it would not be uncommon for them to be tipped by high rollers in chips.  They then let the strippers keep 20% of the proceeds.

Great book, if you haven't read it.  Much better than the movie ("21").

it takes an MIT mathnerd to think of laundering money via strippers.

i'll vouch for that book. i read it in an evening, it was so easy and entertaining. the movie of the same name has nothing to do with the book; the movie based on the book is a dreadful fictionalization that boils down to "americans don't want asian peoples starring in their films"

I think several years ago I caught a documentary about them on the Travel Channel or something. Even that was better than 21.

Yesterday I went to a dumb show my friends organized after work, and I Fannie say I made my first new-neighborhood friend. YEAH. she just graduated, did college radio, and has a lame job. Yeah!

Took me a minute to see what you did there.

I am pretty sure I need to get rid of this thing and get a normal phone. It is breaking and an iPhone seems super extravagant.

-Look at you with your new iPhone!
-Who do you think you are, putting on such airs!
-How could you BE so cocky!
-You really blew it this time!
-You are so ARROGANT

Until the last year I had never really bought anything for my self since high school.  Every penny I had went to smokes, smokes, coke and booze.  Now that I am laying off the last two and have a job, I have bought a $700 guitar, a $700 amp, switched back to pre rolled smokes, smoke more weed (and buy) than ever and have bought $2000-3000 in guitar effects and an iphone.  Even though I will never use half the effects I bought my only regret is the iphone.  I just wanted to have a phone and an ipod in one, but it is not worth it at all.  They should come out with an ipod nano you can use as a phone (I was saying this before I bought my iphone) and that would be cool.  The iphone really isn't.  I kinda hate it.

Man, I want one so bad. It seems like every other yobbo teenager on the bus has one but somehow I can't afford one. I know it's a totally irrational desire because it's the New Shiny Thing but... so shiny!
