— Ace I did this bit on the Breitbart site last night. I would have done it here, but it was ONT time.
[T]here's a sense of satisfaction in having a DVR that's filled up to the 98%-- CRITICAL--YOU MUST DELETE SOME PROGRAMS IMMEDIATELY level. Kind of like that feeling you get opening a Craftsman toolbox stuffed to the brim with tools. That you're prepared for any contingency.Or it's like putting on all the TV's and lights in a hotel room the moment you get there and keeping them on all night long when you're out. As a friend pointed out to me, "If you're not sucking out every bit of free juice the hotel is providing you, you're losing money -- think about it."
I did, and now I do that every time I travel.
And if you don't think that's funny, then here's something cute. Apparently otters hold paws with each other while they sleep on the water.

TANSTAAFL.... There Aint NO Such Thing as a Free Lunch...
By burning all the electricty, the power costs of the Hotel Rise, so they raise Prices.... which means the NEXT time you stay there, prices are higher...
As this attitude becomes systemic? YOU pay for OTHER peoples electricity... because that cost WILL be passed on...
Sad that otherwise smart people, don't realize this...

It's a good start, but Lifemanship is all about the little details.
Soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower cap. If you don't unwrap and uncap them, the hotel will just leave them for the next customer. What's that? Just take them and put them in your luggage?
Fuck. THAT.
When you take these items, all the maid has to do is replace them. When you unwrap them and leave them strewn about, the maid has to clean up the mess and THEN replace them. What, you're going to give the hotel your free labor? Don't be a sucker and let these people laze around all day on your nickel.
You're paying for it.

:::hey did you read it?
It's funny but what I learned from that (comedy) book is, "Well, this is all basically real, this is basically the main thrust of all human interactions in socially competitive environments.":::
No, it keeps getting bumped down my reading list because there aren't enough pictures, but I remembered the thread and really liked it. It reminded me of all the Churchill quotes where he's politely dressing someone down and extends it into how to profit from gentlemanly head-fuckery. All in jest, of course, but you see the pompous social positioning and competition in real life.

Was out fishing in Prince William Sound. Out in the middle of no where
we ran into a "pod"? of about 100 otters just floating on their backs,
sleeping, playing. Doing what otters do. It was pretty cool. Never seen
anything like that.

Urban myth. They feed them to the killer whales just before the otters look like they're about to die. (Or nap. Who can really say what's going on in there?) Killer whales won't eat a dead otter.

Heh, just for shits and giggles, I check my hits occasionally over at my little defunct blog. I get almost as many hits now as I did when I posted every day.
I call them "accidental" hits.

And now for a meaningless anecdote....
In a lot of the nicer hotels in Europe and elsewhere (like in China last fall), the rooms have a place to put your magnetic key card to enable power to the outlets. Otherwise, no power to lights, etc. So when you are in your room, you have to put your key card in an enabling gizmo on the wall, to get anything to work.
I ran into this in 2001 in a really nice resort in Italy, and it was a WTF moment, but since, I see the game that is being played.
I don't think I have ever seen that in a hotel in the US or Canukistan.

I ran into this in 2001 in a really nice resort in Italy, and it was a WTF moment, but since, I see the game that is being played.
I don't think I have ever seen that in a hotel in the US or Canukistan.

Yes, after my husband died, for the first two nights after she got there, my Mom slept on his side of the bed holding my hand till I could fall asleep. My Dad had passed away almost 4 years to the day earlier. I remember thinking, "My Mom and I are both widows now. I hope I can handle it with the same grace she has."

Kitten, I used to work in hotel management. Nice hotels. Expensive hotels. The water they use for laundry is heated to about 190 degrees. Nothing's coming back from that.
However.
Want to know how many times they empty and scrub the hot tub? I'll give you a hint. It's less than one. Something to think about when you're soaking in that petri dish with the sperm and ginch mist all up in your sinuses.

I just love staying in hotels where they're so concerned with Gaia's well-being they try to discourage you from getting fresh towels each day.
I love that. When you have to ask them to change the bedding for you. And they wonder why they get bed bug infestations.
Answer: less frequent bedding changes and shitty detergent.

@ Burn The Witch,
I think he's more frustrated that he threw out a (pretty obvious) light, throwaway joke to put up a post instead of just posting Open Thread, and now it's turned into "You're such a scumbag Free Shitter for joking about raising the cost of business."
Joking about raising the cost of business? Is there such a category? And is it so large that there is a movement to combat it?
Ever tell a joke that someone doesn't get? Or that doesn't even get that it IS a joke? And then have to spend ten minutes explaining it, only to hear, "Well... you shouldn't joke about things like that."
I don't know about you, but that pushes my FUCK OFF button. Yes, Ace needs to let shit roll off his back easier sometimes, but damn, dude. Lighten up.

My hub and I witnessed a duck gangbang once at a local park. It was amazing in a freaky kind of way.
Apparently ducks are the gangbangers of the local pond (which was surrounded by children, BTW).

My wife said "have fun" when I told her I found a place for our honeymoon.
I don't like crowds when I go on vacation, so that automatically strikes cruises, resorts, and Vegas from my list. I found a nice place down in the French West Indies that's quiet and isolated. Perfect for the wife to go topless (and bottomless) on a beach with no one bothering her.

I'll eat that cost...

:::I get the joke, I just didn't think it was funny. It's personal to me, and I understand that. I've been a business owner and had to deal with people mindlessly driving up the cost of my business because they feel entitled to.:::
Then the polite thing to do would be to say nothing. Or riff another joke off it. You didn't find it funny, but how you responded made it REALLY unfunny. And now you've locked yourself into an e-battle that only has losers.
I've also been a business owner, and am working my way back there. I've also been on the receiving end of Ace's temper, where he infers a bunch of shit about me based on a comment I've made. It's easy enough to ignore. Just walk away.

If we were talking in person (and had some time of acquaintance) we wouldn't be misinterpreting what others are saying.
At least less than what goes on when only the formation of symbols on a screen are the only means of communicating sometimes very complex situations.
Still, some have their sensitivity dialed up a skosh too high. And then react as if it's life or death because someone said something that struck their particular nerve.

When I was in college I taught an undergrad geology lab. One of the lessons was learning the Grand Canyon type section. (This included learning, in order, about 20 major rock formations such as the Moenkopi Shale and the Navajo Sandstone, along with their ages.)
One of the formations was the Coconino Sandstone. I was trying to help them remember it so I said, "You know, like Kokonino County in Krazy Kat!"
Slack-jawed and glaze-eyed they stared at me. So, to make it worse, I said, "You know, Krazy Kat and Ignatz the Mouse!" Crickets.
So THEN, I imitated Krazy Kat and explained that she would say "Oh, Ignatz, my pwecious!" after he hit her in the head with a brick.
They all thought I was insane.
Apparently the kids who grew up 5-10 years after me never saw those cartoons.
I have since recovered from my mortification, but it took about 20 years. LOL!

Posted by: Empire of Jeff at February 20, 2013 10:30 AM (CJjw5)
I know it's tragic but they don't allow decent cartoons anymore. In print OR tv.
Costs too much and I think they've done studies and found that they demographic they're trying to hit doesn't care if the toons are well crafted and drawn.
Many cartoon characters were actually drawn for adult amusement for the intermissions back when a day at the movies was a day at the movies. 1 or 2 shorts and couple cartoons and then the main feature. You could be in the movie house for 3-4 hours.
