I have a yellow suit that I wear with a lavender shirt and lavender shoes (!) around Easter.

Speaking of shoes, I have both lavender and purple shoes. How many men can say that? How many men would want to say yes? How many men even know the difference between purple and lavender, lol.
MadMan, if they bring the Pimp and Ho Ball back to Vegas, you'll be well prepared.

Always split aces and eights....but NEVER split tens, unless you want to clear out the table.

I went to a Pimp & Ho themed party back in D.C. a couple of years ago. I did, in fact, wear the red suit & shoes, with the added touch fo using my wife's degrade (?) fur coat as an overcoat. The only thing that I was missing was Kramer's walking stick!

In Nevada pedestrians have the RofW only at intersections where there is always an implied crosswalk.
Huh, uhhhhhhhhh.

When Oscar's favorite client, Tony Spilotro and the Hole in The Wall Gang were working Las Vegas, they had valets at the Mob hang out restaurants like Villa de Este, The Flame, and the Tower of Pizza, who would make a copy of the guy's house key, and call in Tony's boys to rob him while they were having dinner. But they didn't really need a key. They got their name from using a sledge hammer to make a hole in the side of a guy's house so they could crawl through. In a stucco house that's really easy. So maybe you should take all your address info out of the car when you leave it with a valet. Of course, if I show up in my old Saturn they might figure I don't have anything worth stealing...and they'd be right. Maybe they'd come and leave me something nice.

That's classic. A good number of years ago I was coerced to attend a Halloween party that I was entirely unprepared for. All the local theatrical supply and costume shops had been picked clean. As a last ditch effort, at the suggestion of my then girlfriend, I went to a thrift shop to pick up something/anything I might be able to wear as a costume. Much to her dismay, I came back home with a beautiful powder blue leisure suit. To this day it remains one of my favorite "costumes" of all time!

This got to be a problem at the employees parking lot, at the airport I used to fly out of. The crooks knew that pilots and flight attendants traveled for several days at a time. They would simply watch someone park their car (from the adjacent apartment complex), and then break into it later. They would steal the car, go the address on the registration, and then rob the house. No one in the neighborhood was suspicious, because that particular car belonged at that house. Talk about taking a double hit.

Yep! (Or should that be Yelp! )

I love Yelp. As I've been driving around the city, whenever I pass an interesting looking or sounding restaurant I make a mental note of its name, and then check the reviews on Yelp before making a decision whether to check it out.
