Or, as us upper crust types like to call it, “Targe” when I saw it.
Hawaiian shirts.
Hello, did I miss these beauties coming back into style?
If there is something to be known about me, it’s that I started wearing Hawaiian shirts, and only after severe female mockage, did I stop wearing said shirts.
Three years later.

It’s happened.
In a sense, I knew it was going to happen.
I’ve been proposed to via the Internet.
I never knew that I could grab the attention of so many women, with one side comment about Kitchen Toys.
So I headed over to Sam’s Club to look at various food preparation tools.
As I was perusing the isles, I found that I’m at a loss to knowing what else to grab, that will attract the Ladies. So, I’m throwing it open to all the Women who read these words. From what I can tell, you are all Smart, intelligent, and most importantly bright. Oh, and funny/sassy/feisty/determined and cute. ( I am still up in the air about those who wear glasses because, you know Us men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses)
So, here I stand. Teach me what I need to know.
Should I let ya’ll know that I’m an in the closet Cook? I secretly visit Williams-Sonoma to oogle over cookware, I have copy of their catalog at home to see what I want to buy? I read Simply Recipes (made myself some Chorizo and Eggs last night.) and Cooking for Engineers and watch the CfE Deals Blog for Amazon.com deals on Kitchen stuff?? That I copy a lot of recipes from Alton Brown?
Or should I let the Internets know that I secretly want to be a pastry Chef like this guy (who I watch on Food Network) and specialize in Chocolates? That I’ve been slowly building my collection so that I can make my own Chocolates? (The chocolate temperer should be the next purchase) That I can think of few things cooler than making Chocolate ART?
I don’t know if the Internet is ready for this much information about me, so I may need to keep this on the down low.
Down LOW.
So what else do I need to get, A Griddle? A toaster Oven? A Blender? A Waffle Maker? What do I need to do, to get those Ladies?
Oh, and I had my entire travelmony written out, with the photos last night, and my browser crashed.
I almost snapped.
This -> <- close.

I know.
I’ve said it.
I’m a geek. But I geek out in so many cases.
I might as well have been in Vegas, wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt, Khaki shorts, black socks and sandals.
Oh, wait, I was. Did I mention I had a camera as well?
So, I get into town. I grab me some In-N-Out
Oh, look at that greasy burger goodness. Whenever I got this close to the old mission, I have to indulge.
The convention is *right* next to the Hilton (where I was sure my old High School friend was.) I get back to my truck, and the porn peddlers had already been there.
I head over to my digs. I got the high class digs. Across from the Porn, across from the condemned buildings, and most importantly, across from the Hard Rock Hotel/Casino
Next day, it was off to training. I know you can’t see it here in this photo, but there were a lot of pasty, white legs. Oh, and I took this photo of my leg.
On.. Purpose.. My leg is actually very photogenic…
There were free backpacks given out, and you’ll notice a pattern. Geeks love free stuff.
Later that night, was the welcome party! Meaning, free toys, free t-shirts, and most importantly, FREE BEER!
I watched people guzzle, and guzzle, and guzzle.
Did I mention they were guzzling?
But who am I to complain, I got free SUSHI (I love me some Sushi). Much free food was handed out, and many a pasty white leg were endured.
