[ QUOTE ] lippy, It's pretty damn good. Nine at the Palms was also great. Delmonico Steakhouse is maybe a little more on the traditional, fancy dining side, whereas Nine is maybe a little bit more modern, hip feel. I dunno, I love them both, they each have a different vibe to them but both are great. [/ QUOTE ] Definintely going to have to go with Nine as it's going to be 4-6 of my friends and me, all under 25. I think an El D recommendation is all the more research I need to do. [/ QUOTE ] yeah, i went to nine in vegas for my 21st with 7 of my friends and was thoroughly impressed. the place wasn't super crowded or loud yet, but it was still a fun dinner, and the food was very very good. my waitress even brought me a few birthday shots on the house. i HIGHLY recommend the creme brulee, if you like creme brulee. that's definitely the best i've ever had. i've also heard the delmonico's creme brulee is good, so i plan on getting that next i'm in vegas (hopefully december). some of the other food that i highly recommend are the "shrooms" appetizer (mushrooms stuffed with king crab), and the asparagus appetizer (although it doesn't look like it's currently on the menu).

WoT [/ QUOTE ] On a plane or in general? 80% of the girls I see at school do this. [/ QUOTE ] Guess I'm way off base on this one. I had never seen it before in my life. I had no idea it was a common practice. So i guess when they go to the vending machine or the to store or gas station or wherever people buy their bottled water they snag a straw too? Just seems so weird to me. WoT

Re: General life questions / observations / random whatever thread

Thanks for the recommendations guys, I will definitely grab some probably tonight on my way home. Further question: does anyone here write? I've been writing, and I have some specific and some general questions, and I was wondering if there was someone/someplace I could send/post random paragraphs, etc for general review from time to time. Subforum? Thread in this forum? Some forum on some other site? No such thing exists? [/ QUOTE ] http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/ Go to the Share your Work subforum.

Re: General life questions / observations / random whatever thread
[ QUOTE ]
Has anyone here been in a motorcycle accident they truly believe they could not have prevented? [/ QUOTE ] I have not been in a preventable accident. Mine have been my own fault. But, I have recently witnessed a fatal accident. On US41 (2-S bound lanes, 2North bound lanes, divided by a turn lane)in Sarasota FL, a Southbound car turned in front of a north bound motorcycle. There was nothing the motorcyclist could do to prevent the accident. I knew that the driver of the car would claim " I didn't see him, he came out of nowhere, etc." and sure enough those were her quotes in the newspaper. In the driver's defense, there is a neurological phenomenon whereby the brain "fills in" for the eyes what we expect to see and leaves out what we don't.

Re: General life questions / observations / random whatever thread
Does anyone know how to wash caps? Generally after a lot of wear, white caps generally get stained and I wanna get it off. Also, the insides get dirty as well. I'm sure I'll get hate for this but w/e.

Anyone have any advice on generating traffic for a blog? [/ QUOTE ] years ago when i used to blog, i would read some more popular blogs, then every now and then i'd sent them a message, telling them i appreciated their writings, or whatnot. sometimes they offered to link your blog on theirs.
