Cultural study on aging? Is that considered a self-study course? Seriously, enjoy. I think it is about ex marines that take to motorcycle riding as a mid life crisis, but I could be wrong. And thanks, I plan on kicking back for a while. I am thinking of taking on a coaching job in the school district as a time filler. Doesn't pay alot, but gets me out of the house and back into swimming. OK Master Chief...shit or get off the pot...are you coming to an Iowa game this fall, and if so, which one!!??

Two things: 1) My mid-life crisis must have started at 18; and 2) Come on, you know there is no such thing as an ex-Marine - once a Marine, always a Marine. Even a sailor should know that.

I plan on getting to a game. Got to get into my new house first. We close on the 27th of this month.
I am thinking the Ball state game on 9/25 or PSU on 10/2. Prefer PSU if I can get into the game of course but checking ticket prices it looks like ridiculous money to get in for PSU. I'd say I am shooting for Ball State. You are providing the transportation and accomodations correct? Will likely fly into CR. Let you know a little later what works itself out.

I could certainly pick you up and drop you off at the CR airport. And yes, if you don't mind a couch...you're more than welcome.

Seems like an appropriate joke right about now...........
By the time the Chief pulled into a little town, every hotel room was taken. "You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded, "or just a bed, I don't care where." "Well, I do have a double room with one occupant - an Marine Gunny," admitted the manager, "and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you." "No problem," the tired Chief assured him, "I'll take it." The next morning the Chief came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "How'd you sleep?" asked the manager. "Never better." The manager was impressed. "No problem with the other guy snoring?" "Nope, I shut him up in no time", said the Chief. "How'd you manage that?" asked the manager. "He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room," the Chief explained. "I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and said, 'Goodnight, beautiful,' and he sat up all night watching me."

That's a good one.
A Marine walked into the head where a Sailor was already at the urinal. The Sailor finished, went over to the sink and started washing his hands. The Marine finished and headed for the door.
The Sailor says, "In the Navy, they teach us to wash our hands before leaving the head."
The Marine answers, "Well, in the Corps, they teach us not to piss on ourselves."

Alright Bluz - bring it:
Four retired Navy Chief's are walking down the street window shopping. Then they turn a corner and see a sign that says "Veterans Bar" over the doorway of an entry into an establishment that doesn't look all that well kept up. They look at each other then go in. On the inside, they realize in this case, they could judge the 'book by it's cover'. The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, gentlemen?" There seems to be a fully stocked bar so the men all ask for a martini. In short time the bartender serves up 4 iced martinis - shaken not stirred and says, "That'll be 40 cents, please." The four Chiefs stare at the bartender for a moment then look at each other - they can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis and order another round. Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 more cents, please." They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They've each had two martinis and so far they've spent less than a dollar. Finally one of the men says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece?" The bartender replies, "No doubt you've noticed the decor in here. And the outside ain't nothin' to write home about. I don't waste money on that stuff. But, here's my story. I'm a retired Master Chief Boatswain's Mate and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $45 million and decided to open this place for real veterans. Every drink costs a dime -- wine, liquor, beer, all the same." "Wow. That's quite a story." says one of the men. The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice three other guys at the end of the bar who didn't have a drink in front of them and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there. One man finished his martini and, gestured at the three at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, "What's with them?" The bartender says, "Oh, those are retired Marines. They're waiting for happy hour."

Just so there's no confusion, please let me know your flight schedule for your Friday fly-in. If you land during the day, I'll need to take a couple of official hours off from work to come get you...no biggie, but I'll need to coordinate with the boss. Drop off time on Sunday doesn't matter.

Let me know. Plane tickets and game tickets will be bought this week. Thanks. For all you other wastelanders, can't wait to meet ya. See you soon.

You get books yet MC? I just got back from the store and I am steaming. I spent $650. I'm taking 3 fucking classes. 2 of which I already have the main text book for because they are 2 part classes and I took the first part last semester (Chemisty and Biology). Plus kirkwood has these "awesome" custom texts, which the teachers claim are cheaper for the students because they remove some of the material we aren't going to use. Maybe it is cheaper for the idiots who buy everything new at the bookstore, but not for us seasoned vets who buy everything used online for usually 25% of new at the store. These custom texts aren't available online either. PISSED.

This reminds me of my fucking econ professor that we called the "Math Nazi" he got an acknowledgment in some Econ textbook that of course we had to use in his Macro and Micro classes (one first semester, one second semester) They were both the most expensive books each semester I think a little over $100 each back in 95. Well after the semester I took them back to the book store and found out that they wouldn't be using them next year so they weren't offering any money for them. I was a little pissed to say the least all because this cocksucker had to use a text book that had his name in it. Douche bag.

The books all say the same fucking shit, especially in econ. For the amount of money those cocksuckers are pulling out of the University in comp, I think if they are going to require a fucking book from which they will receive royalties for class, there should be a god damn panel of professors and students who review the book and the cocksuckers should have to prove why it is better than the other fucking books on the market. No reason all the entry level books couldn't be fairly fucking standard. Standardize them down to 3 or 4 publishers and throw that shit on iPads and cut the fucking prices to $50 a book max. The kids are getting fleeced enough, no need for some asshole pulling $100k + for "working" 6 hours a week to make a few extra grand.

Got my tickets and will be there 10/2. Ready to start the tailgate early, go all day, then watch the Hawks beat the lions again. Fly out that Sunday morning at 6 am so only there for about 36 hours. Got to sleep on the plane.
And I hear you about textbooks. Spent 500 on them this semester and that is with using Amazon to order some cheaper. Type in the ISBN number and you can find out if they have it. Nice also because used versions are being sold. Didn't do that thought because classes start Monday and I can't dick around getting them.
Going to be a busy month. Close the house on the 27th, classes the 23rd, getting the house ready for living, getting our stuff delivered, closing out the Navy stuff. Going to let loose on the 2nd.
I can't wait to meet the wastelanders.
