Random Thoughts

This page is just one I wanted to do for fun. It's a list of random thoughts that I had, things that I have learned, and just comments, from my trip to Vegas. This may be a little inside-joke-ish for Vegas people, but I hope that everyone can enjoy it. If you don't get something, feel free to ask about it...I'll try to explain it as best I can! Here we go!!

- I loved the fact that at every show, there were Whosers everywhere...and we knew all of them! People would walk in, everyone's waving and talking to each other, laughing about the previous night's show, or talking about a cast member they had met. It was so great, like one big party. As Cheryl would say, it was a love fest.

- I had Drew's stand-up material memorized by the third show, and was reciting it along with him in the last show (The people I was sitting next to thought I was crazy).

- I loved how even though we were all so different, we were such a cute and fun group. It was so cool to walk around all together, there were so many of us, and it was just so much fun. Always something to laugh about.

- One priceless part of the trip were people's reactions when we told them how we had all met, and why we were there. Some were surprise, some were envious, and I think a few were even a bit scared. But it was still cool. :) We would get the, "So where are you all from?" and we'd all have different answers. We then would have to explain how we were all from different places, yet in such a big, happy group. Very cool.

- Watching WL episodes and WL-related videos is never as fun as when you're watching with Whosers...especially the Best of episode.

- I never knew that one hotel could be right down the street from another...and yet it still takes a half hour to go between them!

- NEVER wear tall shoes when you're in a hurry. Going hand in hand with that--never have one person hold all the tickets.

- You will NEVER find your way around a casino easily...even if you follow the signs. Drew's standup was right!

- The cast members are often very cryptic when they talk to you. Often, "What's your name?" carries the same meaning as, "Will you run away with me?" and "Nice to meet you" can be subsituted for, "Will you be my girlfriend?". :)

- Just when your body gets used to a different time zone, you have to leave! On a similar note, you will start to know your way around the casinos on the very last day that you are there.

- There is a Betty Boop Lounge in the MGM Grand casino. If you walk around long enough, you WILL find it.

- If you want a lot of (old) guys hitting on you, wear hooker boots and walk around carrying an empty half-yard Pina Colada container. ;)

- It is possible to have a phone conversation with someone (or hear someone having a phone conversation), and then not remember one word of the conversation.

- One way to get people to stare at you in a restaurant is to sing an Irish Drinking Song.

- You can spend hours and hours in FAO Schwarz, and still never get bored...especially if they have stuffed giraffes and feather boas.

- I never knew that popping a blister could bring two people closer together.

- Be careful about what you say about women wearing red, white, and blue pants...you never know who they might be.

- The same goes for women wearing slinky silvery shiny (non) shirts.

- Actually, just try not to bash EVERY single cast member's girlfriend/significant other. :)

- If you can't think of a job to say when picked for song styles...DON'T say model.

- Sean Masterson is just SO incredibly funny. Why this man is not on WL, I don't know...but he is just amazingly funny. Hell of a nice guy, too!

- I found out that if you plan a trip for months and months, and don't get sick at all in that time...you WILL get sick while on the trip.

- Having man-voice can be a great conversation starter!! Certain people think it's sexy. :)

- Colin is much taller in real life than he looks on the show, as is Brad. Ryan is just as tall as I imagined he would be.

- Brad is MUCH better looking in real life than on tv. :) And he's absolutely amazing when you see him perform live. I don't think I ever fully realized how talented he is, until I saw him this weekend.

- By the first PPV show, I had the order of games memorized. Unlike WL, however, the people playing them were NOT predictable.

- Ryan makes the cutest face when he's watching a scene...and he laughs like hell during Mouse Trap.

- I wish they had asked Dawn and I which position we would have put Ryan in for Freezes.

- Brad is almost as good as Greg when dealing with stupid audience members. He cracked me up!!

- Colin is quite possibly the nicest and sweetest man in the world--both to his fans, and in general. Closely following him is Chip.

- Krispy Kreme donuts are so good, they must be made in heaven. However, they don't have them in Canada.

- On the other hand, they DO have rye and coke (Ryan coke) in Canada. Not so much here in the US, however, so be careful when you order it. It may result in many strange looks and comments made at your expense. :).

- If Ryan drinks a rye and coke, is it cannibalism?

- Vegas is the greatest place in the world to build up your self esteem. Every guy you see will blatantly and openly hit on you.

- Not only that, but money has no meaning in Vegas. When in Vegas, you all of a sudden can't remember why in the world you didn't spend ANOTHER $85 for a Sunday ticket. You also feel no pain when giving your credit card to anyone in Vegas.

- Asking for separate checks at the beginning of a meal is very important.

- Colin would rather play video poker than be at a Superbowl party...and he's damn good at it.

- It makes things so much easier when your roommate chews ice, too!

- Going along with that, I wish I had a Luxor ice machine in my room.

- Pai-Gow Poker is the most confusing game to try to learn, especially when being taught by a drunk guy. But if Ryan plays it, we're willing to learn!!

- Colin DOES say the word fuck...and it's SOOOO funny!!

-Restaurant/bar-type places named after animals usually have really cool bartenders in them. ;o) --From Dawn

-If you are taking a group picture any strangers who happen to be around you will gladly come up and get in the shot. -- From Dawn
