Sigh, another Mardi Gras weekend,... then Mardi Gras.
Going to a parade can be fun, but after so many years of living through Mardi Gras in Louisiana, I am just to the point of;
"WHY am I standing in the <insert cruddy weather here> trying to catch cheap-@$$ plastic beads in the middle of a crowd of ravenous and RUDE bead-starved maniac @$$-hats who will happily knock you over to catch the throws that if we do catch we are only going to throw away or store in the garage until it overflows?!?!"
Or, it might just be me today. Because,...
<a-Hem>
HAppy Birthday to Meeeeee!
HAppy Birthday to MEeeeeeee!
Happy Birthday old wizaaaaaaard!
You can no longer pretend your twenty-Threeeeee!Yes. It is the 25th anniversary of my 25th birthday. I AM the dreaded FIVE-OH.
I still maintain that it isn't the years, it's the mileage. :)
Eh, either way, I'm doomed :/Happy Mardi Gras weekend to all!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANCIENT SPELLSLINGER!!!!

In my experience with big cities, Atlanta is a hellhole that smells like ass and is constantly hotter than Florida somehow, Miami is nice if you know where to be but pretty bad otherwise, and DC is a glorious place I would move to if I could afford it.
The other major cities I've been in aren't really major, just major for Florida, like Tallahassee, Orlando, and Tampa.
What makes Atlanta smell bad, I wonder...?

So for some reason people in here have been strenuously hating on my parents' professions, my home town, and my home state. What the heck? This place is so damned negative, it's not fun anymore.
I don't know what your parents' professions are, but: I love Atlanta, and generally consider Georgia (one of) my home states. Also, Orthos, at least, I think, likes GA, too (and maybe Atlanta?). So, you know: it's at least three of us. :D
(Unless you mean Detroit. I only know that one from the Robocop movies. Uh... Robocop is awesome? Oh, and Chicago, at least, is the home of Channel Awesome, so a lot of awesome came out of that. :D)

If it makes you feel any better, my beloved San Francisco consistently smells like stale piss.

I haven't been to Atlanta except to use the airport, but both times I did so it was a very pleasant experience (minus my own plane-phobic stress). Otherwise I don't have anything against it that I don't have against any other large city (in that, I don't like large cities and find them too claustrophobic, too crowded, and too ideologically dissimilar from myself).
Northern Georgia where I live and have traveled regularly is very pleasant countryside and wonderful spring/summer/autumn driving-with-the-windows-down territory.

And litter box liners. Hoo, boy! Who ever thought of THIS product? "I'm going to take a garbage bag and stick it in the litter box... 'cause... ???"
From my limited understanding, the "cause" is "so that I can simply lift out the liner and now it's a bag that is easy to throw away".

If I said anything to offend, I apologize, The primary reason I would not want to go to Detroit is that I am not leaving the west

Right. Which is a really weird idea. You scoop out the bad stuff, and leave the good stuff in there.
I shudder to think how much it would cost to throw out all the litter in a pan every few days...

Same as downtown Seattle, the General regularly told me so (she worked two blocks from the Space Needle).
Captain Yesterday Fun Fact: I have almost no sense of smell, very little sense of taste, but the eyes of a hawk.
Have i mentioned how awesome Seattle is yet.
Downtown Los Angeles had the worst urine smell of any city I've visited. I maintain it was all the urine.
Seriously, people kept pissing on the sidewalk near my apartment building. Plus it never rained to wash it away.
But the weather was awesome.

Something to make Treppa laugh.
I present to you, the following description of my clothes walking the dog tonight.
Skater shoes, white socks, black long johns, tan cargo shorts, a few hoodies topped with my wife's big blue grey unisex coat, and with a bright snot green oversized wool hat.
It might take a few times to fully grasp all of that.

Pretty sweet, seeing Hell's Vengeance in my pending orders.
Honestly never thought I'd be excited for an evil adventure path.
I played in Way of the Wicked a little bit, didn't care for it (one of my nice brother's group, very professional, been playing together for decades).
And if it sucks, I'll just cancel my subscription.

CH was telling me about that once. It was apparently quite awful.

I, too, had a HORRIBLE experience at the Atlanta airport. I think I posted about that way back when.

Oh no! It was LA. Thanks for the correction, CH.
