Any ranch, bunny or horse, is better than any part of Vegas.
When we went on a neighborhood trip last year, one of the neighbor ladies made a spreadsheet. It was even broken down into categories (kids's stuff, kitchen stuff, things to do to the house...). My wife thought it would be a good idea to use this. We then realized that it was missing all kinds of stuff so it was this weird combination of organized by not thorough.
A former chief judge in this district once wrote a decision about back-dated stock options. He noted how the practice was remarkably similar to the movie The Sting and betting on horse races that had already been run. He kept referring to the movie throughout his decision and concluded with, "I highly recommend the movie The Sting to all parties."

The application will blow their mind!
Send the cash first, though. I'd hate to waste my time on the Internet.
My boss had a mouse set up camp in his desk top computer several years ago. Of course he got him out quick before he started chewing on things.
Wasn't that the Russian word for the thaw in relations between the USA and USSR? You know, after Rocky defeated Ivan Drago and his words after melted the hearts of all the Moscovites in attendance?
A friend and I rode out to the Grand Canyon close to 10 years ago. We figured we might as well go through Vegas while out that way. I'm not into gambling so all we did was walk up the strip for a bit and people watch. Each hotel, once you get past the front entry is still just a big old casino.
I read somewhere that you live your entire life within four feet of a spider. Do you happen to sleep with your laptop, BoxsterCy?

What the man does with his laptop in his own home in nobody's business but his own and his repair tech's.
I keep one for my annual trips to Canada, for turkey hunting, etc. I even keep a running Xmas list, every time I think of something new that I can get for someone or myself. I'm amazed at how many of my fishing buddies want a copy of the Canada list.
My physics prof came into class one day with this toy that had enclosed two balls and a concave bottom. The object was to get the two balls into pockets on opposite sides of the the curved portion. He's tipping it back and forth, going "whoops, oh, almost got it" etc. Then he sets it on his desk, gives it a spin, and centrifugal force causes the balls to get to their respective locations. And I hear him mutter, "**** ing toys."
We had mice in our office a few years back. They would leave a little brown calling card on people's desks from time to time. My boss took a little piece of a brownie and shaped it in the appropriate manner, and put it on the secretary's desk before she got to work. He walked in on the pretense of asking her a question, picked up the fake turd and ate it. She got this look on her face and said,"Oh! I hope that wasn't what I think it was."
I used to keep a spreadsheet which was a checklist for a motorcycle trip. I can't find it anymore, it must have been on the C drive of my last laptop that crashed.
This is what I imagine a checklist for a motorcycle trip looks like.
1. Helmet
2. Leather Jacket
3. Chaps
4. Weed
5. Jack
6. Cash (for more weed and Jack)
7. Sleeping Bag
8. Boots
