 Happy Friday everybody! Hope everyone is successfully fighting their way through the post-holiday blues. What’s that? You don’t have the blues? We can fix that!
Actually, I suppose we’re not really post-holiday anything yet. Still have New Years to get through. Crap…now I’m really depressed. Sigh. Okay, so here’s the update on Cousin Fred’s subterranean hovel. After a flurry of activity over the course of the past 48 hours, everything is done. Seriously. All of the major system are in and operating. Furniture delivery began at 1AM this morning. What I’m left with above ground is a large entrance tube that you have to climb down. It has an opening large enough to lower a refrigerator down inside (that was at 2AM). At the far end of the series of chambers, there is a smaller escape tube above ground. There are also ventilation tubes, etc., along the way. Looks like a tube farm out there on the north farm. And we though the gophers were destructive. I asked Cousin Fred what inspired his move underground. He pointed out that all of his hovels on the north lawn to this point have burned to the ground. He figures being underground makes it less likely to burn. Uh huh…hmmmm. Well, all I care about is getting him and Gigi out of the Main House before the Wife returns from her travels back to the Land of Yankees. Friends, those of you who are dedicated followers of this blog (all three of you by last count) may recall my rant post about Hilton hotels and my treatment at the hands thereof. You may also recall that, after I posted a less than five-star recommendation of their hotel, the manager of that hotel sent a rather condescending and snarky email along with several crime scene photos of me walking through the hotel…just to let me know they were keeping an eye on me. What was the trouble you ask? Well the link to the posting is here, you can read about it. BUT, I will say that it involved forcing us to move rooms from a really nice floor to a less nice floor. Now it turns out I may know why! Marriott hotels (allegedly) and I’m betting Hilton hotels (also, allegedly) hold out entire floors on their hotels for nefarious (depending on your perspective) activities! Mr. Robin, you making this up, you say? I point as evidence to a recent report about a woman who is suing the Marriott Corporation for $10 million because the hotel attempted to force her into a different room on a different floor during a stay in Atlanta last New Year’s Eve. She refused and eventually the Cobb County Police Chief himself showed up and ordered her arrested. Why all the drama, you ask? The woman had been mistakenly placed on a floor reserved for Atlanta-area swingers. Seriously. Swingers in Atlanta take their fun and games mighty seriously. It also occurs to me that Marriott must be so desperate to fill beds with people doing whatever that they’ll call the Law on you if you don’t comply. Sheesh…$10 million…I wonder if I could join the suit? We’ll go after Marriott and Hilton! Makes you wonder what secret stuff Motel 6 has going on – no wonder they leave a light for you. Of course, the Hilton I stayed at in Colorado has crime scene photos of my big behind (crime scene photos add 10 lbs. you know). Hilton Corp. would likely project the crime scene photos on a wall during the trial and ask (rhetorically, of course), “Seriously, ladies and gentlemen of the jury…what self-respecting deviant group would want THIS in their midst?” I’d be thrown out of the courthouse on my left ear. Time to stand up America! If you’re a rabid right-wing Christian conservative, I urge you to visit a Marriott or Hilton hotel and insist at the front desk that they put you on their “special” floor. Then run up and down the hallways banging on doors and yelling, “Repent, fornicators, repent!” We’ll show them! That is all! Comments are closed.
