Ask post: Teachers- Tell me what it is like to have summers off.
my wife became a teacher after several other careers because she wanted the summers off. not to blog, but just to relax. its is a hard job for crap pay, but other than the crap pay she likes being a teacher and genuiniely enjoys it, i can tell when she talks about her day. she doesnt work in the summer officialy, but picks up $50/hr tutoring here and there in her school district. otherwise she does little projects around the house, goes to the beach, goes to midweek concerts and generally...

Ask post: Where to park for Yankee Stadium
theres mad, er i mean many, cops everywhere around the stadium at every game, so its generally safe to park and in otherwise. if you want to kill some time downtime, then park there and take the subway, but the subways will be packed after the game, which i personally hate.

if you park in the stadium area and need to beat the rush:

a. park in an unofficial "lot" (somebodys driveway that is charging for parking)
b. leave after the top of the 9th (blasphemy!)

Ask post: friends dont let friends drive drunk
thanks everyone. yep, i checked the major rental agencies they're all out of 15 passenger vans. i did fnd the site for peter fuller as well, is watertown far from east boston? im actually in jersey but setting this up for me and my friends up in the bean.

cabs would take the fun out of it, and renting the van lets us tailgate.

Ask post: How much would you pay for a monome?
i sold mine for the same $500 i paid for it when i needed cash fast. still pissed, but it was the least essential item i owned. as stated, kinda goes against the spirit of it all to charge more, but i guess if your scary dealer is going to send his goons after you for a bongwater incident, you gots to do what you gots to do.

Ask post: Are threesomes worth it?
if you're male, im not sure that a threesome is exactly what you're after; more of the fantasy of having 2 girls servicing you is what i'd guess.

my threesome fantasies never involve me actually taking care of both of the girls needs, though they are both very attentive to mine.

what im saying is it probably sounds better than it is in practice, and the end result is pretty much the same with one partner as it will be with multiple.

Ask post: Fast, Dramatic, Sinister music?
dj shadow's "stem". and the cops and robbers remix of that same track adds some nice vocal samples, not going to tell you what and ruin it for you. on the same cd is "organ donor" which while not fast or dramatic, is a dope organ track. the cd is endtroducing, basically an instant classic since the day it came out.

Ask post: Help me compile the ultimate stoner playlist.
put on some headphones blaze up and listen to endtroducing, dj shadow. actually do that and listen to it while walking around lower manhattan. preferably while walking a dog. surreal, as long as you can get smoked out and walk a dog in the city without bumping into people or getting hit by a car. maybe find a park.

3 words - big green egg. you will pay more up front, but cost over time is significantly less. your $300 grill will likely be done in 4-5 years, you egg will still be pumping out the charcoal goodness when your kids graduate college.
