Election Night Plans

bigtwnvin · 2024-11-04T18:44:42.071Z

I have to be careful with the Bourbon intake. Schools are off Tuesday but I have to be up at 0930 Zulu time Wednesday and wheels up on the Big Yellow Cheesebox at 11 UTC-5

Nemesis · 2024-11-04T19:16:55.472Z

Lol definitely avoid excessive intake. For me driving a school bus would be one of my 9 circles of hell. I know what I was like as a kid

The polls close time is my usual workout time so that won’t be changing.

No alcohol although it might be tempting.

Hopefully election night plans include celebrating and laughing at Donald pretending there was fraud.

We weed out the nimrods early on in the school year. They are after all kids but maniacs can get their bus privileges lifted. When mommy and daddy review the bus interior camera recordings of their precious acting like an ■■■■■■■ the reactions are priceless.
Oh well

Nimrods LOL.

my friend from Scottsbluff, nebraska also drives a school bus and regaled tales that curdle my toes.

In the mid 1960’s when I rode the bus, drivers were probably WWII or Korea vets. If someone acted like a cement head they’d pull over open the door and say: “get the ■■■■ out”.
There were never fights or dumbassery on the bus.
If a driver did that now? 11:00 news

Getting together with our usual friends and eating Kosher deli food. Our history:
2008
2012
2016
2020: no get together

I was about 75% through my 2nd run when Patch 7 boinked my save file.

Now I’m just getting ready to finish Act I on an Honor Mode run.

Last time I looked I have about 751 hours in game.

Not bad for a $60 purchase.

If it were a job, you were paying yourself ~$12.50 per hour.

Anyone got any big plans for election night such as viewing parties or attending official political party functions?

I will be at home, ordering pizza (i rarely eat pizza) about 9-10pm and enjoying a couple of old fashioneds. I have Wednesday off work.

Will be flicking between CNN, Fox, BBC while listening to LBC to get the UK take on election night.

All while cloud gaming Starfield on my phone.

Except for 2020, when I was sick, I do pretty much exactly what you do. I usually take the Wednesday off for that reason. But I’m going to have to go to work on Tuesday night this year. I can still watch it with little interruption from there. Just without the pizza and beer. I’m out of sick days. I do have 7 Vac days left, but they are for something else.

GWH · 2024-11-05T01:58:43.962Z

I’ll say I’m going to go to bed at 10, stay up till 3 bitching at the TV, and finally going to bed having no idea who won. Then I’ll wake at 5:30 and go to work after looking at my phone during breakfast to see that they still haven’t announced a winner, glad that I got that 2.5 hours of sleep, wishing I’d committed to a 10 o’clock bedtime.

Haha. This word will never get old to me. It’s perfect for what it describes.

SixFoot · 2024-11-05T02:41:10.218Z

I’m going to smoke my finest weed and enjoy the last exciting election of our lifetimes.

Whoever tries to say, “This is the most important election of our lifetimes!” ever again, is a ■■■■■■■ loser of the lowest rungs.

Nemesis · 2024-11-05T12:54:51.494Z

Sounds like the perfect election night. Not a smoker myself but I do like my gummies to kick back and relax.

Both sides are running around shouting that tired old cliche. Regardless of who wind in 4 years they will be saying the same thing.

Ill stock up on several tacos and be up all night.
I want to see her face when she loses.

We’ll be here to hold your hand and comfort you when the worst candidate EVER, the phony-fake Kamala, loses by Midnight.

American people KNOW how to let someone down easy. They let her try for the job she should have known she has NO bussines being in.

Nemesis · 2024-11-05T13:12:02.453Z

Mmm tacos sound good.

A new Baldur’s Gate or the old one?[quote=“WorldWatcher, post:2, topic:248127, full:true”]
Decending into the Mind Flayer Colony below Baldur’s Gate and kick Kethric’s arse.

And I’m not talking just beat him here. I’m talking a nuking so hard his grandmothers ears will ring in the past because I’m going to hit him so hard.

The go to bed, wake up in the morning and check the news feed for what happened.

BG3, on my 3rd playthrough (technically 2.5 as Patch 7 broke my save). Never played BG 1 or 2.

But this game is amazing. Over 750 hours in.
