Was stoked that my 4 year old was going as spider man this year. She then pulled an audible 2 wks ago and is going as a princess…. Again.

I am aware of that, PTI. But I want to buy a product that makes me look like a Hemswotth, not Mindy Kaling. I assumed others felt the same way.
- Wayne shows remarkable restraint in here, imo.
- Daughter has been PUUUUMPED for Halloween … comes home early from school yesterday puking with a fever.
- I really appreciate the people who REALLY get into Halloween. Those folks are great and make things more fun for everyone.
- Great Lakes Christmas Ale tastes like college basketball to me. Just gets me in the mood to watch some hoops.
- Again- we have guards this year. Play 3 at a time.
- The original “Scream” is always a fun, nostalgic watch for me.
- As is tradition, getting together at the sports book Saturday for Breeders Cup with my buddies who fancy themselves horseplayers. Been doing it since River Downs was River Downs. Always a great day.

White Wayne is really unhappy about this model being Indian.
Speaking of... Funny story. Right out of college, I lived in BG and had to make a last minute work trip with some bigwigs from a local Lexington firm. Had to fly out of LEX in their private jet early in the morning. Being young and dumb, I decided just to book the closest room to the airport, which was the Rodeway Inn on Versailles Rd., so I wouldn't have to deal with traffic. Place was icky. Needed to iron my shirt in the morning, and there was no ironing board in the room. Called the front desk and they said to come and grab one in the lobby. I walked over and it became apparent that the Indian family that ran the place also lived there, and I was borrowing their personal ironing board. I baked the smell of vindaloo, tikka masala, garlic naan etc. all right into the fabric of my shirt, then had to cram into a tiny cabin with a CEO, VP, and other upper mgmt for a couple of hours. They were polite enough not to comment, but it was friggin pungent. Not only that, but I wasn't told to wear a suit or really how big of a deal the trip was (I thought it was just a couple of site visits with construction firms). We had to meet with several chambers of commerce, local mayors, etc. all day, and on top of smelling like I bathed in vegetable korma, I was also severely underdressed. It was like living through a real life underpreparedness nightmare.

Nope… tons of super attractive Indians out there. They just decided to pick an ugly, fat one. And I shouldn’t have said Mindy Kaling because she’s actually quite lovely, but she sure as hell doesn’t inspire me to want to go hiking.
Diversity or not, it’s probably not the best idea to put Indians into advertisements due to the fact there’s all of less than 2% of the population here being Indian. If you plan on being diverse over catering to the majority of the population you probably don’t have the best business model.
Also, putting overweight people in ads may be nice and placating but I personally don’t think we should just say this is okay, don’t look at that smokeshow model over there, you be happy in your own skin girrrrrrl, it’s perfectly fine having a BMI of 40…

The Indian people who are here typically have a lot of disposable income so it makes sense to market to them. But they are also very much like normal Americans in that they want to look good, rather than have a BMI of 40.
Halloween may be the top Facebook holiday of the year. Excited to see everyone’s little ones. Mine are going as
14yo - deer hunter. His buddy is going as a deer. So wacky. I’m honestly glad he’s still going trick or treating. Thought maybe last year was it, but last night he decided to do it at least one more time. I’m in no rush for him to outgrow being a kid and doing fun kid stuff.
12yo - a banana ? I’m not totally sure. Still up in the air a bit.
9yo - Thing 1
2yo - a dinosaur
Check my socials later for fun Halloween pics

I used to hook up with this gal back in the day and we would end up at this sleazy little cheap motel that is owned by the Kingsley’s, a local Indian family that owns motels, hotels, gas stations, etc. Anyway, sometimes we would show up kind of late and Sundar would stumble into the office from their attached living quarters wearing a robe and night cap. He always put us in the same 2 rooms which I could only imagine had hidden cameras placed somewhere in them. I’m sure it was the price to pay for waking he and the misses up.
Point is you really can’t trust Indian motel proprietors or those that are hawking hiking and camping wears. The first will video tape you having sex for their own pleasure and the second have never spent a day/night in the wilderness.
-My whole family is the Adams family tonight. We’ve dressed up as a family the past 5 years and it’s been very fun, and this year the Gomez outfit makes me look the least like an idiot so I’m happy. Can’t imagine too many more years where the kids want me to dress up with them
-Luckily we couldn’t do trick or treat last Thursday when it was 76 and they were off Friday - need to do it on a 30 degree Tuesday night
-I have Baby Ruth once a year - tonight
-Had a buddy tell me the guy that made the original Christmas Ale for Great Lakes switched and now makes 12 dog days of Christmas with the “original, legit recipe”. No clue if it’s true but I have a hard rule of no Xmas anything before November. Have three Pumkings in the fridge for tonight then I’ll test out his claim this weekend
-We received our elf on the shelf in the mail yesterday. Tried my best to avoid this extra activity. Thanks for the added chore, hunnie.
-Having a new house has been great - and having new appliances is part of that. But, FFS, I don’t want to add an app for every appliance. I don’t care if the app lets me control the lights, put it in eco mode, change certain settings, other useless nonsense. It will also communicate with your Alexa and sense if you’re low on such and such and automatically order it through your subscribe and save! I mean Jesus, we all know what you’re doing with an additional cross promotion money grab and one more thing to deal with breaking. Calm the f*cl down capitalism.

Agreed, one of my roommates in KW wanted to put the whole house on apps on our phone (he was super gay) and I was like nope not happening. I’ll turn lights on and music volume up and down how I always have. I don’t need to live in a spaceship.
- my 13 year old is dressing up like Eric Cartman, just like his dad did back in 1997 or so. Feels like this might be the last year for trick or treat but otoh the kid really loves it, and candy, so who knows? Enjoy while it lasts is what I’m saying.
- Elf on the Shelf is a pain but there’s something INCREDIBLY depressing about finding that stuffed away with regular Xmas decorations and realizing it’s just a stuffed elf now.
This has been MaxPowerrr’s parenting randoms, brought to you by The End of Toy Story 3.

I know Brady James has a Levis 1/1 bowman makes my 1/5 look immaculate
Tried to convince you all to wait til your 40s to start dadding.
Taking a wild *** guess here on costumes tonight;
wcc = Joe Biden
his lass = Ruth Bader Ginsberg
daughter = like a totes adorbs little mini Zelensky

Have some 70’s/80’s UK game worn football helmets I think you guys would like.
Yeah, flying to LA this afternoon/Hawaii tomorrow is awful. Since mine are in college and can wipe their own ***. Enjoy the car line, fellas. Hated the car line.
In fairness, would’ve been a much better dad in my 40’s. Jealous of a few holidays like Halloween/Christmas. And coaching was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve done. I’m sure parenting at whatever age is like everything else. Some good/bad.
Clear is better than TSA pre-check these days.
Hoping the Reds can sign an ace with some of that Votto $. Sure the Bengals won’t make any moves.
Just in time for a new wife and family!
I've had some pretty good costumes over the years.
Charlie Brown
Wicked Witch of the West End
Uncle Fester
Thug UL fan
Nick Nolte Mugshot
I haven't dressed up in over a decade though. Maybe next year.

I’ve wondered about Clear vs TSA and will be flying more often now that I’m back in FL. MyTSA is free with my CC though I’ll have to see about Clear being paid for.
The one time I’ve seen a guy use Clear was in Denver and he did his thing and then basically slipped everything and walked straight through.

Every Halloween I go pretty heavy with Black Sabbath on loop. Man those first two albums hit so hard. Easily one of the GOAT bands.
Black Sabbath
NIB
War Pigs
Paranoid
Iron Man
Crazy good.

The Indian talk reminds of me my favorite Indian joke.
You know what the red dot on their head is? When you marry an Indian girl you get to scratch it off and see if she owns a Seven 11 or a Motel 6. Lolz
If there is one place I shouldn't be judged for bitching about fat girls on the cover of Sports Illustrated it's gyero.
Just got back from a guys fishing trip in Naples. On the flight down my two " flight attendants" were two super gay dudes. I feel like flight attendants and cart girls were the last two places you could count on a hot chick that liked to be fired on. Guess not

Clear + TSAPre. AMEX gives you statement credit for both so Marcus. From Entrance door to gates in 5 mins.
Halloween traffic is down significantly in my neighborhood so far. Wokeness to blame?
Siesta Key does a business trick or treat. .3 of a mile down one side of street, .3 mi back down the other…end at the pizza place grabbing a couple slices and beers. Can’t beat it.
It’s 2023 and Rob is just now figuring out how many flight attendants are gay.
New house, new neighborhood, so wasn’t sure how many trick-or-treaters would be stopping by. But with every other house decorated like the Halloween version of The Griswolds in the area, figured there’d be an ample amount of kiddos passing through.
$40 for two variety packs of Reese & KitKat (highway robbery) and I’ve had two kids stop by
Guess these pagans in the Highlands just love demonic yard art.

Clear is nearly a necessity in a few airports already. A good attendant makes all the difference.
Beautiful 28 degrees and started to flurry with 10mph winds 15 mins in. I’ve drank enough bourbon to warm a Clydesdale so im good, my wife is currently screaming at our banshee children about something. Going to see if I can convince her to get back in the morticia outfit (I won’t).
Cav has been winning races since the Armstrong days. He's a goat. Not great at staying upright but a tough mofo. Giving the all time tdf wins record another run after he was supposed to retire this season.
I hear you buddy. A few weeks ago I was picking up the vibe an attractive middle aged blonde flight attendant was throwing my way during the boarding process.. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so midway through the flight I approached the flight deck where she was standing and put on the full charm offensive. She looked me deep in the eyes, patted me on the shoulder, and said, “get back in your seat sir. The seatbelt sign is on”. So yeah, I guess they’re hiring lesbians now too.
Antonio was telling me about that one before it was even released, probably had a line to a prescreening copy from a producer.
Love the Manx Missile. Real shame he went out so early this year, hope he gets a legit shot again to break the Tour record.
I dressed up as Quint from Jaws and played the soundtrack from a Bluetooth speaker as kids came up for candy. I enjoy making the kids say "Trick or Treat" or even "Happy Halloween" when they come up and literally say nothing and hold open their bags. Also, the kids who use Kroger bags are poorly parented. Give them a pillowcase like a real "poor" who can really get a candy haul with a good queen-sized case.
Off Sunday and Monday, so taking a quick jaunt up to NYC for a show. Staying in Queens, so dumplings will be on the agenda before returning.
Hit up Cattywampus Station restaurant in Lexington Green over the weekend. Might be the closest to the perfect french fry I've had in my life. Other food was solid as well, and the shakes are premium stuff for those who can still enjoy good 'ol lactose.
No Brax family sighting down my street. Good.
