Catch Of The Day

#twocatmark #official (it will make sense-just read)

nve00002

Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.

In no particular order of chronology or importance…

On the clock.  Yes, it IS an airplane cast.  Well, at least the first part.  Saturday evening blog.  Semi-speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

DISCLAIMER:  This blog is sarcastic and is intended as harmless fun only.  This is not a blog for sensitive readers.  Know that any seemingly derogatory or abrasive statements are NOT MEANT AT ANY LEVEL OF SERIOUSNESS.  Read on ONLY after accepting the above statements.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  The plane.    Let’s move.
  2. Miss me at ALL?
  3. No? Well, I missed you, and let’s knock out this massive list of blog hooks.
  4. AND everyone just settle down. I don’t usually post this late at night, but we drove home from airport by 8pm, got some food down street, and I am posting this massive amount of pics and finishing writing this during the new SNL.
  5. Not a lot of pops, JJ.
  6. Love that guy.
  7. (on editing, Tony P’s hires ALL the wrong people.  Painful service)
  8. (on editing, Alec Baldwin is a RINGER for Trump.  I am almost fine with him winning just to have 4 years of Alec Baldwin.)
  9. This is my blog list. Well, there is a back that looks similar.  I write down everything.  And take pictures of everything.  blog-list-plane-blog
  10. No one on the plane could knock the phone out of my hand.
  11. There are about 10 people who know how funny that last hook is.  AWESOME.
  12. This is mostly written on the plane. Pics, additions, and editing done later by my intern, Doug.  Doug didn’t go to Vegas AND I haven’t written a blog since Monday.  Dude must be bored as shit at Kramerica Industries.  Image result for seinfeld intern
  13. My wife is two seats over freaking OUT during the end of the Sooners game. So funny.
  14. (on editing, they won)
  15. And her phone just slid all the way to the back of the plane.
  16. (on editing, that is actually very true)
  17. Oh, and there is a freaking cat in the chair in between. A real, live cat.  charlee-airport-blog
  18. I just want to say that you should follow me on Instagram.  I am fun.
  19. And they don’t allow cats in exit rows? THAT is BS.  I know the cat can’t open the exit row thing, but I have a feeling the cat would do better than a backpack.  And if the worry is a dead, stomped on cat, I think we would have larger problems going on than a dead cat if the exit door is being opened.
  20. With all of their injuries, I am very impressed with the Mets. Congrats on making it to the postseason.  I don’t think they are the best team, I think a better team will get left out, but I guarantee the Nationals and Cubs don’t want to see their pitching in any series.
  21. The Cubs have 102 wins.  The 1906 and 2001 Mariners both had 116.  Put THAT in perspective.
  22. Glad Greg Hardy is mixing in some drugs in between job searching and working out.
  23. I am not tired of people kneeling and holding hands during the national anthem.  I am just tired of hearing about it.  Do what you want.  Free country.  But, leave it off the wire.  Love my country.  Overloaded on media coverage.
  24. Well, unless it is about Johnny Manziel. Then, you can overload me.  Actually, I want a Johnny Football mobile APP.  GPS tracker that allows me to know where he is and then make my own story about his goings on BEFORE I read it the next day.  manziel-blog
  25. Thanks, LeBron, for letting us know you will stand for the anthem. I can rest easier now.
  26. I am to the point with taking pictures that I take pictures out of my plane window. I have some problems.  img_20160926_065331388_hdr
  27. And then Instagram it too.
  28. This is nice. You and me.  No rush.  I haven’t blogged in a while.  Evidently, I only jones about missing my daily blog writing when outside of Vegas or Mexico/ Belize.
  29. I think all hotel bathrooms should be designed with me not ironing and hanging clothes in the steam room I create. The big bathrooms suck.
  30. Engines of Creation could be one of my favorite songs…that I found so late in life. Google it.  Find it.  It is amazing.  Image result for joe satriani engines of creation
  31. There goes Southwest. Taking my drink order, giving me pretzels and peanuts, and then bringing me my ordered drink 20 minutes later.
  32. But, I will take that over the plastic seats on Frontier in a heartbeat.
  33. I don’t think I learned anything from the Saints-Falcons game Monday. The Falcons played like we all think they should play like every year for the last 8 years, and the Saints are just bipolar.  Or, just suck.
  34. Read the Thomas Johnson (ex-A&M WR) article in ESPN Mag. Well written, scary content, and I was entranced for my reading entirety.  It is a disturbing article.
  35. Damn flight attendant didn’t give me any ice in my Coke Zero.
  36. Yes, the stories are out about how Jose Fernandez was wasted before going out on his boat.   But, if your eyes didn’t well up in the Dee Gordon tribute, then you are just not human.  Great, great sporting moment.  Image result for dee gordon fernandez
  37. Lindsey told me my plans on Sunday night. Some dinner.  Then, I informed her the Steelers were the night game.  I won’t be going to dinner.
  38. So, you have to notice when you chuckle out loud after a commercial. I have two commercials presently that do that.  You already know the Ice Tea commercial is my favorite.  But, coming up in the wings quickly is the Arnold video game one.  Missile Poisoning.  I just laughed writing that.  Image result for arnold missile poisoning
  39. Call the doctor.
  40. But, the Sailing commercial is still in the mix.  Image result for sailing nfl commercial
  41. Roxanne Roxanne is in my top 5 songs of all rap songs. Listening to it right now.  Overlooked and amazing.    Thanks, Matt, for passing that nugget along.  Image result for utfo roxanne
  42. Haven’t see the presidential debates.  Just going to move before either can do any damage.  Thank GOD for checks and balances.
  43. (on editing, the debate skit on SNL was epic)
  44. (on editing, know my top 3 are Scarlett, Halle, and Margot.
  45. I used to run to the sports book while in Vegas to make my bets. Thank you, Bovada.
  46. We only forgot to cash a $30 ticket and I still have $8 in chips. We had to see about a cat.  See what I did there?  I combined the cat thing with Good Will Hunting.  Image result for good will hunting see about a girl
  47. Tell your friends.  Before the Steelers lost by 31 points, they were one game from the all time random record of teams not losing by more than 30 points (1929 Bears).  I think that is a fun fact.  No?  Moving on.
  48. Shame that Chris Bosh’s career is winding down because of his injury. I wanted more out of career.  I never established whether a) he was really good on the Raptors because they sucked b) he just won with Miami because of the other two guys or c) actually that is it.  Only two things.
  49. Canada won the World Cup of Hockey.  It was enthralling.  We cared so much.  It is the start of something special.  Just like the soccer one.  Can’t wait until the next one.  All of the former statements are written with extreme sarcasm.
  50. Thank you, Paul Pierce for announcing this is your final year. We now have a full year of “goodbye to Paul Pierce” tributes.  Love the guy, but I am tired just thinking about the farewell tour.
  51. Hitting the Rockies right now.  Sun is almost down.  Think my camera flash will do the trick?
  52. No.  I know.
  53. What I hate about not blogging for almost a week is I am late on jokes. I assume we used up all of the imaginary GF/ injury jokes with Te’o???  Dammit again.
  54. I know Washington is up and coming. I am aware that the Stanford game was big for them.  I called that one wrong.  I at least thought Christian would keep it close.  Anyone doubt what Chris P. did at Boise now?
  55. Right now, Clemson and UL are playing. I felt like blogging was more important than watching that first half.  I am blind to the internet right now.  I am just telling you that my only bigger bet this week was Clemson.  At home, Watson, and only giving up 1.5?  I would take that bet again any day of the week.  Move that spread to 6 and I think about it.
  56. (on editing, know UL lost nothing tonight if they run the table, and I got lucky clearing the 1.5 points)
  57. Watch I just wrote hook #40 and am totally wrong. Oh well.  I come clean with you all.  I never lie, and YOU try writing a blog and having your facts straight AND being write all the time.  Very, very tough.
  58. When I read about Russell Wilson’s injury status, I keep having to look up who their backup is.
  59. Oh, add Jam On It-Newcleus to my top 10 of rap songs. On right now.
  60. Well, Superman looked up at me.  Image result for jam on it newcleus
  61. That Ryder Cup practice session was epic. That guy probably is an a-hole on a daily basis.  And, he will continue now to be one until his death.  Why?  Because he will always have the 12 foot putt story.    If I am him, I continue to be an a-hole too.  Image result for ryder cup 12 foot putt
  62. Mandalay Bay was good. I could recommend better places I think.  The wave pool was goofy because you had to swim with someone and between these two lines.  The lazy river REALLY confused me as you couldn’t go on it in a tube they gave you.  Basically, the lazy river became more of a chore just to stay floating.  I need to design a pool casino.  I could tell you about the mountain water park I am currently designing, but then I would have to kill you.  Image result for mandalay bay lazy river
  63. People on the right brought their own.
  64. Well, not stupid, because it IS water and pools and things I love so much.
  65. I tried to take PTO on Friday and stay an extra day in Vegas. It didn’t work out too well.  Weird how my clients don’t care if it is the end of the month or not.
  66. I LOVE weekend update on SNL.
  67. I can’t believe a Samsung Galaxy can explode on an airplane.  Is that a compliment to how far ahead they are?  Or an insult?  I need a flow chart.
  68. I went to a trade show.  I love pens.  I have 40 more now.
  69. My favorite new pen is from #atwork #atworkuniform Smooth writing.  I want more, folks.
  70. I suck at buffets.  No matter HOW much I eat, I am hungry exactly one hour later.
  71. Lindsey and I are still working on saving money by SHARING meals.
  72. I might have said this before, but I think hot sauce should be put right by the salt and pepper at every place.  I would like to make a law.
  73. Don’t worry, I forgot to run in the one election I might have actually won.  THIS one.
  74. Not sure how losing AT Oklahoma State gets news on the wire about keeping your coach.  Strong is doing pretty good over there.
  75. Buckeye fans are happy today, and I can’t believe LeBron wants JR Smith back.
  76. I think I would have bet more on Michigan State if I had the time this morning.  They still lost me $50, but come ON.  INDIANA?
  77. I would pay money for a UGA fan to meet a Tennessee fan for a drink tonight.  I will pitch in $50.
  78. Tired of OBJ/ CB trash talk.
  79. I would think about trading my last 15 years with two people.  Jimmy Buffet and Dr. Dre.
  80. Well, of course MJ, but that is the given in this proof.
  81. Tim Duncan got a job offer on the Spurs staff?
  82. KG got a job offer on the Cavs staff?
  83. Once again, givens in the proof.  Love those two.
  84. CJ Spiller will be a hell of a trivia question someday.
  85. Am I allowed to laugh at a baseball player for tearing his calf running on field getting in fight?
  86. So, if Bama doesn’t win the championship, I guess Williams will shoot you?????
  87. Rousey wants Cyborg.  Shame that Holm loss got nestled in the middle.
  88. The Texans losing Watt is big time.  They are in gray area as far as being good or bad.  Missing a defensive player who totally changes the game is going to be tough.
  89. My grocery lineup when I travel for a week in a hotel.  Turkey, yogurt, milk, mustard, bread, and CHEESE.
  90. I only ate mac and cheese 5 times this week.  That is a declining graph.  I will pick it up.
  91. Doug has JUST informed me that he will not edit this tonight.  He went out.  Sorry for grammatical errors.
  92. THIS is some serious bags/ cornhole.  I actually was the weakest link.  That is weird to me.  bags-blog
  93. Guy throwing is the guy who owes me $40.  I love that no one will mention that I have mentioned Bryan in my blog for…the last three months straight.  Let’s keep it going.
  94. I love Seinfeld.  I sell to casinos.  I will say that unless you love Seinfeld, the new slot machine…sucks.  Played it for free at my trade show.
  95. In my losers pool, if there is gray area, I like to pick the Thursday game to get it out of the way.  Thanks, Cincy.
  96. Lady Gaga will do the Super Bowl halftime show.  Not sure if I respect her more from being a child genius or for her naked scenes in that horror series my wife likes.
  97. I have to agree with Jerry.  “My wife” sounds a little cool.
  98. Yes, the way I make it through a trade show is putting Lunchables in my backpack.
  99. Hurricane Matthew.  My brother’s name in lights.
  100. I HATE dressing up.  I am the guy who calls a night club in Vegas to specifically ask about cargo shorts. and type of sandals.
  101. I forgot how much you have to listen to Cher in Vegas.
  102. I forgot how an over the hill rock band will ALWAYS play both Don’t Stop Believin’ and Hotel California…and NOT know Still of the Night by Whitesnake.
  103. My Instagram app crashed during that over the hill rock band and I almost lost my shit.  I felt like a gunfighter without a gun.  I am an addict.  I know.
  104. We are over 100 hooks.  Take a piss break.  I will wait.
  105. (waiting)
  106. Back?  Cool.  I look good for my age.  The over the hill rock band had a guy who a) looked better than me b) was older than me by 9 years c) had a better voice and d) used my line of “I am probably older than you.”  DAMMIT.  52-blog
  107. I have Calvin Harris videos on my phone from last night.  I haven’t tried to figure out how to post videos on my blog.  But, they are pretty freaking cool.  Not as cool as Skrillex or Dre, but pretty dope.
  108. The #1 new night club in Vegas is Omnia.  I have been there, and Drai’s and Voodoo, meaning I am covering options even though I am 43.
  109. A guy had 16 guitar picks hanging from his neck last night at the over the hill rock band last night.  He actually gave one to Lindsey.  Dude was like 90 and danced for all four hours without taking a break.  Assuming he just pissed down his leg, but that is neither here nor there.
  110. I am fun.  But, I also sneak in some cuteness.  In the middle of the over the hill rock band party, they played Beth (Kiss) at a set break.  Grabbed my girl and we were the only people out there for first part of song.  I am a romantic.  I just pick and choose my spots.
  111. Mandalay Bay has a food court.  It is just SOOOOOOOOO far away.  That’s how they get you.  Make you buy a $25 burger to dodge the walk.
  112. Seriously.  Temptation.  Rude.  bacon-jerky-blog
  113. If you haven’t seen the Jordan Lewis interception, stop reading and come back after.  Michigan if it helps your Google.
  114. (waiting)
  115. Back?  Lindsey is presently sleeping, and although we went to Vegas, she sleeps more than anyone I know.  My favorite part is how she found a pool party deal, we found out later unlimited drinks ended at 2pm, and she napped from 1-215pm.
  116. Always pay the $15 for Early Bird on Southwest.  Trust me.
  117. I had Las Vegas promoters liking all of my Vegas pics and it made me feel important.
  118. FSU.  Wow.  I stayed away from that bet tonight.
  119. My action was on Clemson, but…wow, FSU.
  120. That was an incredible game, people.  Find the recording.
  121. I have seen a bunch of shows now in Vegas.  Don’t even contemplate.  I will make it easy.  Absinthe.  It is amazing.  Keep reading for some pics.
  122. My OU shirt and UVA polo are the most comfortable pieces of clothing I have ever owned.
  123. I took a D2 school plus the 52 pts today just…because.
  124. I was up 52-0 at kickoff.  I think I lost.
  125. Did anyone else see Baylor as a Big 12 contender for the CFP?  No.  Don’t lie.  No one did.  And, the system will be PISSED if they run the table.
  126. But, they won’t.  But, it is a story right now.
  127. Take it easy, other surprise.  Wisconsin.  Nice story.  Bye.
  128. Tyson Fury got busted for drugs.  Cocaine.  I am fine with making sure our athletes don’t do drugs, but I think that smoking weed and doing coke are not helping their cause and therefore just let it go.  Well, I guess Dwight Gooden would tell me “I did my BEST on coke,” so never mind.
  129. I KNEW Joakim Noah would interject himself into this kneeling thing.
  130. I can’t complain about anything though.  If Hitler ran this country, I would be fine.  Blue eyes.  Blond hair.  But, I TRY and understand.
  131. Shame about Ben Simmons getting an early injury call.  This guy might rule the league if he gets a hunger.  I don’t want to see another Ming/ McGrady/ Carter/ Prince, etc.
  132. Yes, T, I just put you in that sentence. Paypal me.
  133. List is cleared.  Pics:

  142. More fountains (lot more coming and contact me if you want about 100 more pictures):  fountains-side-blog
  143. Absinthe was dirty last night.  Awesomely dirty.  They had a 15 minute segment with the “normal nerd white guy” and the “cool black dude.”  Incredible.  Although not for the tame of heart.  absinthe-nerd-blog
  144. I am not gay.  But not that there is anything wrong with it (Seinfeld).  I am heading to the gym if you need me.  My brother should try out for this role.  absinthe-strong-2-blog

  151. I forgot how funny Knocked Up is.  I haven’t found Rounders or Bourne yet.
  152. I was at a tradeshow.  Otherwise, obviously I would have gotten a picture.  No soup for you.   Pics got screwed up.  You have your dreams.  CEO.  Pres.  Fine.  I want to go to Vegas and have a swim up room.  Strokes/ folks.soup-nazi-blog soup-nazi-blog2

  155. I totally forgot.  My favorite pic of the week.  Because I sold my two large deals, I am able to post my father/ son picture.  Don’t tell them.  Shhh.  father-son-blog
  156. Boss.  And.  Guy who owes me $40.  One is out of the box lovably abrasive who also loves singing and dancing in public (better than me on both).  Other is secretly an extroverted introvert with ear phones, a very, very mild pace, and with full control of pop culture.  Call me.  We can flow chart this shit.  I will give out no more info.  Thanks, Omar.  This picture is incredible though. #fatherson
  157. Just a cool pic.  vegas-lights-blog
  158. I love Paul Rudd.
  159. Find another better pic.  Dare you.  Guitar pick guy.  linds-pick-guy-blog

  171. And again.  set-break-dancer-blog
  172. Golden Child is on.  Just found it.  Right at the end of the 10 year span when Eddie Murphy was the funniest man on earth.  I still love BHC so much.  IWTK.  TAGM.  Image result for golden child
  173. Jesus.  I want the knife.  There’s a ground, Monty.  Whiffleball.
  174. This guy rocked out GNR SCOM.  gnr-blog
  175. Jesus.  Sweet Child O’ Mine.  MY song.
  176. SO cool when Eddie figures out “keep your mind as pur as the water.”

Daily Reports…

FINANCES: Bryan S. owes me $40.  And we were just in Vegas together.  And a big deal just closed for me.  AND that deal was the onsite WHERE he borrowed $40 from me.  I will use some of that $40 to buy Vince a beer I owe him.

VINCE’S SPANISH: 20% last I heard.  God forbid if he sent me Spanish messages in the last 36 hours.  Or, maybe he did.  Who knows?

STAKEHOLDERS: Only Rudy has made $4.  Everyone else doesn’t like free, easy money.

SOCIAL MEDIA: 484 Twitter, 55 Instagram.

PRIZES: Just the daily.  I didn’t win in Vegas.  But, I remember when I used to leave Vegas in 1999 wanting to be dead and thinking about selling my shoes for an airport drink.  All gravy these days.

TIME: Greg, it took…a while…pictures involved.

DAILY $2 TRIVIA (sorry-Google is too powerful and you can look it up, so the daily prize has to be about…me): If I had to redo everything in my life that was feasible and in my control, what job would I have ended up with?  Think, people.  It is relatively obvious, but not that easy of question.  The easy answer is ESPN.  I wouldn’t have complained about that, but that is not the answer.

WEEKEND SCHEDULE:  Beerfest, FLOOZIES.  Can’t wait for the latter.

HOW MANY DAYS UNTIL I BECOME TWO CAT MARK: Already here.  See pics.  It is real.  We are live.  I am working on getting Two Cat Mark trademarked.  Seriously.

THEME: Because instead of using my gang sign “twocatmark,” I used the gang sign from Dances With Wolves.  Tatonka.  See what I did there?

That’s it for today.  Hope you miss me more next time.  Hope also you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Peace.
