It’s Called A Cop-Out Post

Posted By on April 22, 2008

I am fresh out of things to write. I mean I moved over to a new site, I drank 10 beers in one afternoon, where could I POSSIBLY go from here, other than down?

I’m tired. And I have things I have to get done before Vegas. IMPORTANT things like manicures and pedicures and finding a spray tan place so that I don’t scare the pants off the people in Vegas with my winter white skin!

*GASP*

THE HORROR!

So I’m going to steal a page out of Sarah’s book. Since, dudes, she has a whole Squad of Goons. And I don’t want to mess with Goons.  So I’m going to ask you random questions. And comment whore all you want!

1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?

2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit?

3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

4. Tap dancing or ballet?

5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be?

6. Vodka or Whiskey?

Leave your answers in the comments.

And on a completely unrelated note, Tuesday is the day the Bossy Road Trip comes to Chicago. So stay tuned for stories. Because I’m dragging The Hotfessional with me. And no I didn’t make her fly in just for the event. I just need someone there that I know so that when I’m uncomfortable and twitchy and talking with my mouth open with pieces of food fliying out of my mouth, she can calm me down by handing me another glass of wine.

    when i was in vegas, i really wanted to go to the palms to see where all that real world vegas stuff went down, and perchance run into j. timberlake or lauren conrad.

    instead i ran into tony danza while skulking through the casino level of paris in the middle of the night for a little me-without-mom time. [cigarette].

    i also wanted to go to prince’s club, because i’m from minnesota and we all like prince a lot. [instead i went to a place called jimmy buffet’s and i incidentally loathe jimmy buffet.]

    1. Off course! Why would it be possible in a bar and not on TV? I think not, but some actually do. Love actually is all around…. And I love Hugh Grant!

    2. Don’t know. I live in Europe so the change is small that I will go to Vegas. Further I know no bars there.

    3. I wish that was possible… I love pizza’s with lots of cheese and fresh small tomatos with mushrooms and salami.
    Further I like all the stuff from Taco Bell. We do not have it here and last year I was in New York and I could not find one either. Why???

    4. Tap dancing or ballet? Both not. Or I were very drunk. No even then..

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be? ME!!!! Or your father perhaps? Or on the bright site: Monika Lewinsky. That would involve lots of booze and interesting stories.

    6. Vodka or Whiskey – VODKA for sure. Lovely with orange juice, bitter lemon or cassis! Hmmmmm. And very good for you bodyfatlevel. I mean better then beer of wine that is.

    Have fun and show us some pictures!

  3. deemarie says:

    I can’t imagine anyone thinks they’ll find love on Reality TV, and ususally if it happens, it’s not what the show was for (Survivor and Biggest Loser both had solid relationships form). But The Bachelor??? Please.

    And as for Vegas. I went last year. We hit Studio 54- lots of fun, Pure- never felt so out of place in my life (a funny thing, I like wearing clothes in public, and that put us in the minority), and we were headed somewhere else our last night but ended up at Caramel Lounge in Bellagio and had a total blast! (Could be that we met some British guys with a VIP table and got free Vodka all night, but I’m not saying that’s the only reason!!) I would advise that in the clubs, the price of beer and hard alcohol are so close that if you’re hoping to get sloshed, go straight for the good stuff!! But at the Casinos, the hard drinks are really watered down, so go for the beer!

  4. Dingo says:

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?
    I find it hard to believe that people think they will find true love. I think what they hope to find is fairy tale love and fifteen minutes of fame.

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit?
    I’m interested in answers to this as well. I’m headed to Vegas in a few weeks. Can you scope out the recommendations your receive and give a review? See, there’s a post idea right there!

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
    Burritos if I could change the fillings every now and then – although I probably wouldn’t. I order the same refried beans, shredded beef, and cheese burrito every single time. But I often change the flavor of the margarita I order and isn’t that what Tex-Mex is really about? The margaritas?

    4. Tap dancing or ballet?
    Neither. I’d love to channel Bob Fosse though.

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be?
    If I were to have dinner with anyone, I would prefer to be alive. hee, hee. I’m here all week, folks.

    6. Vodka or Whiskey?
    Vodka

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?

    Yes. The really dumb contestants. So, most everybody I suppose.

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit?

    Depends on how much I won at the casinos! Probably whichever had the cheapest drinks. I am bad at gambling.

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

    Pizza. Now, if the choice were between pizza and tacos? Tacos win.

    4. Tap dancing or ballet?

    Tap. It’s got jazz hands!

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be?

    Oh, man. Sentimentally, I would have dinner with my grandfather. I’d like to know him as an adult.

    Otherwise? Bush. I would love the opportunity to tell him off to his face. I bet nobody really does that.

    6. Vodka or Whiskey?

    Whiskey. Or even better, whisky! I love me some scotch.

  6. Laurel says:

    1. Yes. In fact, my whole “we met at a party” story about AS is a lie. We met on The Bachelor: Poor People In New York Edition and it is TRUE LOVE.

    2. I have only been to Vegas once and spent most of my time sucking down Vodka Tonics while watching ex-boyfriend gamble. Please have a less-lame time.

    3. Pizza, hands down. Burritos are delicious, but cheesiness beats beans any day.

    4. Tap dancing–I think it is awesome.

    5. You!

    6. See #2.

    Best cop out post ever!

    Hello. Hope you have fun in Vegas! I am so jealous!!

    The bars I liked out there were more laid back – you know me, not into the whole dance club thing 🙂

    I spent time at an Irish place called 9 Brothers right on the Strip, I think it is in New York-New York. I also liked the Shadow Lounge – there are naked ladies dancing behind screens, no boobies (sorry Bacon), but it has a “sexy” feel to it.
    And, the most crazy I ever got was the night club Rain, which is on top of the Rio hotel (my favorite hotel 🙂 The whole hotel is fun, partying, carnival atmosphere. Good times!

    I would check out the bars on Fremont Street (the old part of Vegas)…they are more like “townie bars” – and, Bacon could see boobies.

    I was just thinking, would you call someone from Vegas a “Vegan”? Might shed some light on Bacon’s “tempt a vegan” response 🙂

    Have fun out there (and be safe)!
    Love you!

  9. Lauren says:

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?
    Possibly. and it’s sad.

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit?
    no idea. I’ve never been

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
    I’m absolutely not choosing. It’s too difficult.

    4. Tap dancing or ballet?
    ballet.

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be?
    my grandfather

    6. Vodka or Whiskey?
    Vodka hands down

    **I’m only answering #2 and #6 because this turned into one looooong comment.**
    2. I likey the bars, the lounges and the clubs in Vegas. Went to Jet last year, somehow got VIP, which was nice. And if it’s too crowded to be fun that night, go over to the Revolution lounge – BEATLES! When we stayed at the Wynn for my bachelorette party we went to both Tryst (it has a waterfall!) and Blush – those were cool, too. Had a lot of fun at Tabu at the MGM, but the last time I went to Studio 54 everyone was either coked out or way too old. Could have just been that night though. As for bars, ghostbar at the Palms and the dueling piano bar at New York-New York are good times.
    #6. Vodka. And, if you like vodka, too – go to Red Square at Mandalay Bay.
    HAVE FUN! But save up some partying for me on 5/6 and 7. 😉

  11. Noelle says:

    1. Yes, but their definition of true love is wrong.

    2. I am the wrong person to ask that, my favorite thing about Vegas was the hiking at Red Rock and Hoover Dam.

    3. Burritos.

    4. Tap dancing.

    5. The alive person.

    6. Whiskey

  12. Allison says:

    1. I think people do go there looking for true love. And I think a lot of them actually think they’re in love. These people are dumb.

    2. I’m not cool enough to know any of the bar/clubs in Vegas…except for the one that’s on top of the Palms. And that’s only because of The Real World. Wow…I’m sad.

    3. Pizza

    4. I did both when I was young. But if I had to choose one…tap.

    5. Would saying Kristabella satisfy your ego? 🙂

    6. Tequila!! Oh…that wasn’t a choice? Okay…vodka.

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?

    If they believe in weight loss from a bottle, safe sex during an orgy, one wings pigs flying. Yep, happens ALL the time.

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit?

    No desire at all. I would play 21 and only 21. Only game where if you play consistently you have a chance at winning.

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

    Pizza

    4. Tap dancing or ballet?

    wo words. yeah, Right!

    Vodka, I like all my drinks COLD, and vodka frozen is the best.

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love? Yes actually, but they’re usually the ones that are unwilling to act like fools on television so they get booted quickly.

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit? Hmmm…Definitely the Dueling Piano Bar in the New York New York hotel! Get there early, it gets really crowded really fast! Also, Margaritaville.

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose? I guess Pizza although I cannot imagine eating either for the rest of my life…

    4. Tap – you get to wear those cool shoes that clack and annoy people all day as you walk.

    5. Rasputin, just because.

    6. Vodka, hands down.

  20. Ree says:

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love?
    – Gah. I hope not. But (shhhh), I’ve never watched them, so I have no idea.

    1. Does anyone really go on these reality shows actually thinking they’ll find true love? Crazy people, yes. But I would go on Amazing Race really expecting to win-is that crazy?

    2. If you were going to Vegas this weekend, what clubs/bars would you want to visit? Ummmm, wherever LC and Brody went.

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Pizza. easy!

    4. Tap dancing or ballet? Ballet. It’s not as loud, but it’s more hardcore. And Cooper Nielson is an amazing choreographer (but as a boyfriend he kinda sucks).

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be? I hate this question! mostly because in high school at a scholarship interview I said Jesus. WTF….why would I say that? Beethoven, Billy Corgan, Monica Seles- WHY DID I SAY THE MOST CLICHED ANSWER??? Um, I wanna eat with Brad Pitt….wanna eat whipped cream off of him. Thanks.

    6. Vodka or Whiskey? I kinda want to say whiskey.

    3. If you could only ever eat pizza or burritos for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
    Pizza. DUH.

    4. Tap dancing or ballet? Ballet

    5. If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be? I can never answer this with anything intelligent, so I’ll say Victoria Beckham. She seems awesome.

    5. My biological father, whom I have never met.
    6. VODKA no doubt, no hesitancy, just vodka

  24. Dawn says:

    1. Well, you can be absolutely sure that Bret Michaels will be ever so happily after with Amber. So that just blows that theory right out of the water…..:)
    2 I haven’t been there since I was 15 years old so I’m no help on this one. Sorry.
    3. both are yummies, but I’d have to say burritos just for the sheer entertainment value of the explosions that occur in the posterior region after I eat them. They can peel paint. Mature, I know, but farts are funny.
    4. Tap dancing because you get to wear those great looking shoes without your toes bleeding.
    5. I’ve had dinner with dead people before and they are poor conversationalists. As far as living people go, I think it would be funny to kick back a few beers with the Dalai Lama and ponder life’s questions.
    6. Vodka, vodka and more vodka. Did I say vodka?

  25. ali says:

    too tired to answer them all, and since i’ve NEVER been to Vegas…i’ll answer #6…

    1. Sadly, yes. There are some pretty desperate folks out there.

    3. I can’t eat either, but if I could – I’d choose pizza.

    4. Huh?

    5. What’s being served.

    6. Oh whiskey, you had me throwing up into my own boot… but I still love you.
