If we ever do a Vegas meetup, we must see the zombie burlesque show!  I've been out there 4 times now and still haven't seen it.

It's legitimately tragic LOL.

We definitely do!  That should be its own thread.  (And I will have to save that for another night because I really do need to go to bed LOL.)

20 minutes, tick tick.

Always on it. Someday, I will catch up to your 17,000 posts?

I saw Thunder From Down Under. It's not quite the same, I imagine. And $45? That's pretty good for a show in Vegas!

Not at all haha. But it's absolutely great. And they have fun drinks.

LOL I'm about as bad as my students who show up to school tired because they were up all night playing video games or watching YouTube on their school-issued Chromebooks.

I love themed drinks. I went to a bar that touted itself as "the only indoor hurricane" and they had themed diabetes inducing drinks called "Shark Bites" that had tiny branded plastic sharks in them with an extra shot of red something that looked like blood. When you tipped it over, blood blood blood! Also the little plastic sharks looked like they were screaming, so that's fun. I saved mine. And felt so sick afterwards from all the sugar.

Dude, that sounds freaking awesome LOL.

We used to have a zombie apocalypse bar here called The End that was done up like a bunker but it closed down before I could go. I was heartbroken.

OMG, if I have to hear second graders talking about Among Us one more time, I will go get murdered in that game.

We have a program at school called GoGuardian that I can use to see their screens when they're logged into their school Chromebooks, even if they're at home.  It's hilarious to pull it up and see what they're looking at it when they're supposed to be doing their schoolwork.  Almost always, if they're not on task, they're watching YouTube.  I watched one kid go down a rabbit hole of Baby Yoda clips, which is understandable LOL.

My teenaged cashiers were impressed when I caught an Among Us reference. I have Nick to thank for that lmao.

The "indoor hurricane" was underwhelming.

I saw that on Bar Rescue! That was a good episode.
