Been to an MMA fight before? I've been to a UFC and a KOTC, and to be honest the KOTC was probably the most fun I've ever had at a sporting event. It was outdoor at an Indian casino and our "seats" were included in our hotel tickets, which was essentially the balcony of our second floor room. About half way through the fights a riot with about 60 people broke out directly under and in front of us in the parking lot. The fight lasted about 20 minutes total and eventually got broken up by cops with bean bag shotguns. Talk about best seats in the house.

While not quite as awesome as MMA tickets, I had way more fun at the hockey game than any NBA or NFL game I've been to.

People don't understand how much fun hockey games are, expecially NHL games. The speed of the game and the physicallity is awesome. I myself enjoy a minor league hockey game or 2.

MMA events are solid. I actually like attending small shows more then the 2 UFC's I've been to. They were awesome, but the local shows are more personable.

I've been thinking about doing a similar trip. How many days, approx price? I'm weighing in on that versus just flying into Mazatlan as the gf has fam/property there.

You couldn't fucking pay me to drive through Mexico right now though.

Just as a heads-up, Dubs. The Carnival cruise I recently went on (and I'd imagine they're all a lot like this) was pretty trashy and hoot. Just lots of amateurs acting like it was their first time out of the house, etc. Not very many (hell, no) cool people around to chill with or anything. It basically felt like being on a boat with a bunch of people in their 40s and older who were acting like 19 year old girls act after two drinks. I'd be reluctant to go on one again unless I was going with another couple or group of friends (in which case I'd go in a snap).

SittinOnDubsWGW · 01-04-2011, 07:12 PM

Gotcha, thanks for the advice. It was the gf's idea, particularly after I mentioned that I had never been on a cruise.

You've convinced me that a cruise would be everything I would hate about vacationing. Thank you.

One is on the way here. I was wrestling with it for a while because I like having solid books in my hand, but now that it's a done deal i'm really looking forward do it.

Saint DH · 01-14-2011, 07:02 AM

I recommend you get a cover for your kindle. Not only does it protect the device, it also gives you that feeling of having a solid book in your hand, but without the hassle of holding pages. It's a really great little device.

Mr. Blonde · 01-14-2011, 07:16 AM

I definitely will, I thought it came with one?

DJ FC · 01-14-2011, 09:16 AM

Nope. And the case is almost as much as the Kindle.

thekremlin · 01-14-2011, 09:17 AM

Everyone, and this is me included, said they loved having a book in their hands, and no one, me included, still felt that way after buying a kindle. What a great invention.

It's been around since 2009, but I finally convinced myself to buy the Apollo 11 edition of the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It's the first, and only, watch to be worn on the moon - and it's gorgeous. I now own one of the 7969 pieces to be produced. Awesome watch.

Repugnant Abomination · 01-27-2011, 01:31 AM

Just got me the new Kindle as well. Lovin' it!

Mr. Blonde · 01-27-2011, 01:38 AM

It's awesome but I have so many tangible books i'm forcing myself to read before I DL others (Reading Hitchens' - The Portable Atheist on it now)-- plus don't have a case yet so don't really want it to get fucked up carrying it around. DJ FC was wrong anyways, the case isn't almost as much as the Kindle...the official (read: nice) one is only about 60 bucks.

Repugnant Abomination · 01-27-2011, 01:43 AM

Yeah, thinkin' I'm going to buy a case for mine too.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 01-27-2011, 08:23 PM

You know why they call it Kindle right?

Answer: Because the Amazon marketing team thought it was a good name

heurisdick · 01-28-2011, 01:04 AM

I got a garmin gps watch for running

Mr. Blonde · 01-28-2011, 01:15 AM

That sounds like a waste of money. Explain to me why it's not.

Blonde was wrong at understanding exaggeration. $60 is a lot for a case for a $190 device.

heurisdick · 01-28-2011, 01:27 AM

I like gadgets. It probably was a waste. But it keeps track of all your stats: how far you ran, your speed at any given point, heart rate at any given point, averages, etc. If you run a lot (or bike), it may be worth it.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
