What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
Who's done something on holiday that you would never do in your regular life?

3. worst ad campaign EVER
its like telegraphing to everyone that, when you go to vegas, you're going to drink to the point of amnesia, gamble your life away, and either wake up married to a stripper or divorced from your wife/husband (or both)......why'd they have to go and tell everyone that's what happens there.....

5. I went to Vegas to spend a weekend with a girlfriend,
Got a scholarship when I was there and ended up moving in with the girl. Worst. Decision. Ever.

7. Hmm.....how long would the list be for me.....
Caveat: These weren't on holidays, so I guess this is just normal Trouble Man:


In Okinawa, there was a strip club where you could have sex on stage with the strippers in front of everybody...I did that several times.

Truth or Dare in Dumfries, VA I ran around a big apartment complex nude.

I fell asleep (drunk) at a party in 29 Palms, CA and a guy was shot less than five feet away from me. The cops came, the ambulance came, I was moved to a different room......and I slept through the whole thing.

Been to the bannana show and the donkey show - one of my friends ate the bannana.

Oh man...don't even get me started on the one weekend in Tijauana...I hardly remember it, and I don't believe half of what my friends told me what happened.

I fell asleep and the wheel, woke up, swerved into a 720, and nobody saw in the middle of the night on I-95 in Springfield, VA (just south of the mixing bowl).

ect....ect...ect

My life's boring now, though. Wife, two kids, stable job....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

9. No, never.
I've never believed that being on vacation somehow voids decent human conduct.

Of course I was really drunk once and considered kissing another guy. He was a buddy of mine, he's gay, and I was just kinda wondered what it would be like.

12. ?? you should be doing in regular life what you do on holiday.
except more of it.

never really got the allure of Vegas. sure, it's big, but it's plaster and paper mache'. pretty, but gets old too soon.

besides some fine dining and gorgeous bathrooms (god i love their bathrooms) i have little reason to gravitate there. sex, drugs, rock 'n roll? hell, that's a hop, skip, and a jump away from me. gambling, never got it. if i spend over $2 i get antsy. can piss off $10 in less than 5 minutes without thinking about it and it doesn't feel very fun -- like a bad quickie. booze? where in america (besides Utah and a few dry counties) is there not booze? wild parties? well, they seem pretty tame to me, but maybe i'm jaded.

whatever floats people's boats though, they can 'stay in vegas.'

13. It doesn't need to actually involve Vegas
Vegas is a symbol for some place that isn't home.

17. I went on the nude beach while on vacation
but that was years ago. I'd never do it now due to the proliferation of small digital cameras.

18. Two words: New Orleans
I don't know what it is about that place but I've done things there that would make a sailor blush.

20. Broke into the Johnny Cash museum and farted.
Edited on Wed Nov-10-04 11:17 PM by Dukakis88
I will do absolutely anything to sully the image of Johnny "Commie" Cash, you understand? But on vacation, my determination to do so rises to the messianic. By farting in the Cash museum, I send a subtle message to Cash fans everywhere: the old man ain't so big.

I decided I didn't like the dicotomy in my life between vacations and regular life.
