Tundras live: A Bunch of Idiots And A Bunch of BS- Resume discussion group

I prefer yellow lab fur in my lint over black lab hahah

 

Shit
I scored a 2

 

Anyone scoring under 10 on this should have to share what their numbers are, just so we all know what kind of deviants we are dealing with.


100% kidding. Nobody needs to share anything. I just wanted to call you all deviants.

 

10 and 17 for me.
I’ve been with a few who were arrested, and bailed them out. But I’ve never been the one cuffed and put in the back of the cruiser.
And I’ve talked about Skydiving more than a few times, but just haven’t actually had the timing work out.

 

I was thinking 10 was more along the lines of cuffs and a cruiser ride. A “citation” Is just a ticket

 

So, what did you see while you were 'gone'

 

Yes, being dangerous isn't a crime...

 

Did you feed them 87 or 92

 

I think it's the other half of spring break this week....

 

She doesn't get 92 until the S/C is installed...

 

Being broadcast over the Tundra forum during a digital raffle doesn't count as being on TV

 

All major train hubs are cities. There’sa lots of good things to see in Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, etc. or you can simply ride the train to Wolf, Montana or Tomah, Wisconsin (read: middle of fucking nowhere) but the experience isn’t the same as unloading in Union Station.

Portland to Chicago and back in a “roomette” was ~$650 i think? You can fit two people in the roomette, but you pay for the room either way - it’s basically two chairs facing each other with a private door into the hallway. The chairs fold down to one bed and there’s a bunk overhead that drops down.

in the morning, the concierge “turns up” your room while you are at breakfast. In the evening, they “turn down” while you are at dinner. They book your reservations in the diner, and they have coffee, tea, juice, and snacks available in your car. The bathroom and shower is shared for the car in the lower level (they are private rooms, but not attached to your roomette).

a full sleeper “room” (fits up to 4) is a fair bit more $$$

the glass ceiling lounge car is the best place to watch the scenery and play some cards or read a book.

 

OR is this coming week, and WA is the week after

 

I know
Was featured on KREM 2 news out of Spokane when I was in 6th grade for winning the state “Invention Convention”

 

Nice info! I can understand the draw of some of the cities, but I just don't have the desire. I feel crowded in a small city like SLC, and Seattle was not my favorite either. For the architecture I would probably endure NYC, but not in recent times with the crime wave. This would all be years out anyway. Hoping they'll improve in the next few years as people realize anarchy sucks.

 

Copy of the video or it didn't happen

 

So, how private are we talking for the various options 'roomette' vs full sleeper 'room'?? Serious question...

Also, I'm guessing turn up and turn down are hospitality terms for 'going through your shit'...

 

You didn't even give your score. You're just a party pooper!

 

There isn’t a lot of room. Privacy wise it’s sliding pocket door with a lock and a curtain on the roomette. Picture two first class airplane seats facing each other with a 18”x24” coffee table between them and about 8-12” of room from the seat to the aisle wall. Take the width of a train car, subtract the hallway aisle, divide the remainder by two and that is the width across the roomette.

Turn up = remove the bedding, fold up the upper bunk, arrange the lower bunk back into chairs with the table, leave you a local newspaper if you requested it.

Turn down = arrange the chairs into a bunk, fold down upper bunk, make the beds.

If you’ve ever done a cruise, this is similar service. It’s also customary to tip them at the end of the trip.

The concierge is actually staying in one of the roomettes in the same car - we spent a bit of time talking to them, sharing stories, asking questions (that’s how we learned the Zephyr, going west, is one of the more scenic routes, with Empire Builder going east being very close second).

The full size room (I think there are typically only 4 or 8 per train) have two bunks along one wall. The lower serve as a couch during the day, a separate chair or two, and are the full width of the train minus an aisle along the one side wall.

 

I think my mom had it on a VHS somewhere

 

9 it doesn't count..if ..you don't get caught

Good Old Boy "Code" does exist but you will never find it if you have to ask

 

No one goes to Spo-compton for spring break. I think either waves of Zags come in for basketball (watching locally) or there’s some convention.

 

Time for a glass of wine!!

 

FIFY

 

Thanks for sparking a memory Casey!

Update 2.0: I'm back down to two points. 10,13
I was on the Art Mann Presents TV show, probably 18 years ago.

 

I think for @APalmTree @LarryDangerfield and myself it would be easier to list the stuff we didn't get points for.

I have done 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, and 16.

 

Good call.
