This work week is almost officially done and I'm beat. Having a beer at a work Happy Hour now and I think I'm headed for a 9 p.m. bed time. Snow is on the way here in DC and I have no interest in travelling around the city in the cold.
This is your open thread for the night. Make sure you give us your victory of the week in the comments. My victory of the week is getting plans together for next weekend actually - a weekend trip with the wife. Should be a great couple of days of detaching, no internet and plenty of relaxation.
What's your victory of the week?

I turned 30 a few weeks ago
And now my wife and I are going out for a 21st birthday party for her cousin. The kicker? My 7 month old son has slept in 3 nights. It will be rough

Victory? There is no victory, only Zuul.
But really this weeks victory includes liquor and the shake joint.

Would be hearing Hunt say they’re going to pick up some FAs. Now if only he will follow thru! Sorry its so cold in DC Chris. It was a pleasant 60 here just south of Chiefs Kingdom.
TOUGH - February 17, 2012 via mobile
In Arrowhead East (St Louis)
It was upper 60s
Chiefs fan in ST Louis - February 17, 2012 via mobile
Arrowhead East is the Edward Jones Dome.
St. Louis isn’t worthy of being called Kansas City East.

There’s this Chinese place in one of the food courts on campus that I always eat lunch at, and it’s really good. Actually, to be specific, the meat is really good, the rice is just ok. Unfortunately, they give you about 50% rice, 25% vegetables, and only about 25% meat. And, because I go to one of the most expensive schools in the country, the meal costs a lot of money.
I started thinking how inefficient I was being. I was wasting all this money just so I could get a little bit of delicious food. I asked if I could just get meat, and they said no.
But then I realized that they sold pork dumplings, and although they are also expensive, you can get six for about the same price as a meal I usually got. So I realized today that I could get way more meat by just getting those dumplings, and thus I had a fantastic lunch.

LadyChief - February 17, 2012
I don't really eat that much.
I usually just want the highest density of stuff I like as possible. Most Chinese restaurants I’ve gone to have a good mix, but this place on campus just doesn’t give you enough meat.

I got a phone call from one of my potential mentors at U of L. Professors never call as they are way to busy with their real business. She invited me to come see her lab next Tues. and wanted to make sure that I would be available for a teaching assistanceship. She said that there was still a little extra money left where she might be able to bring another individual in…
So it sounds like there is a very good chance that I will be getting into the Ph. D. program in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. Pretty darn exciting.
Also I’m in the middle of creating agar plates to plate orchid seeds. So hopefully I’ll have a mass amount of orchids for sale in about 9 months.

I just think
Baldwin is the same style receiver as Bowe…we need real speed on the outside
Tomahawk_Chop - February 17, 2012
I don't think they're the same at all
Yeah, they’re both big, possession receivers, but when I look at Baldwin, I keep seeing a a boy that hasn’t grown into his tight end body yet. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but after seeing the way guys like Gronk and Graham can dominate, I just think Baldwin can be that type of guy with a few more pounds.

We’ve been engaged since just after the tornado, but we’ve had a hell of a time trying to set a date.
The first venue we wanted to use for the wedding/reception fell through when the lady who owned it lost the lease.
And while we’re on the topic, I never knew weddings were quite so expensive. WOW.
joplin chiefs fan - February 17, 2012
Have fun watching “Say Yes to the Dress” every night for the entire engagement period.

So we’re past the SYTTD phase. Now we’re on to “Four Weddings”. Oh the joys of being in love.
joplin chiefs fan - February 17, 2012
I work for the Music Center here at Wash U and we do some weddings.
I’m sure renting the building for a wedding and reception would run over $2,500.
Hopefully you stumble over a giant bag of money in the next couple days.
wustl_chiefs_fan - February 17, 2012
That is why you never say that this occasion is for a wedding...
Always say it is for a family reunion… it will cut your costs in half.
ravenhawk - February 17, 2012
Im trying to keep mine under $10,000
And we’re going to end up inviting 450 people, and figure 300 or so will show up. How the hell we came up with that many people I have no idea, I dont even like that many people…

What you have to understand about St. Louis is that nothing is ever on the way.
The roads were designed by 35 monkeys, so nothing is convenient to get to. It would probably take me an hour just to go to those two places and back.

This is the first time I have posted on AP on a Friday… Probably ever.. But… Is it nerdy that I’m doing so from a bar?? I mean all I hear are ri-tards talking sports and not a one of them knows what the hell they are talking about. I just over heard a conversation in which they said we should trade away our entire draft for a QB.. It took everything inside of me not to slam my miller light.. Slam my tuaca.. Get up.. Punch them in the face.. And then steal their affliction shirt to wipe my ass with when I got home. Word to the wise.. If u want to talk about the chiefs in public.. Please act like u know what the hell u are talking about. At least in blue springs.. Or atleast in the united states
