A shocking news break from Google Trends was discovered today! Shit - Poop - Google Trends

Google Trends Analysts uncovered evidence that Australians love shit, but they are not alone.  Apparantly, the entire world loves shit as compared to both poop and crap.  Americans, although great fans of shit, are also very fond of poop.  Crap doesn’t have a large following worldwide, but there still remains a strong crap movement in the UK.  Of all the fecal keywords, shit stands atop the steaming pile.  Shit, piled on poop with crap running behind.   

Over the last few years, we have steadily seen shit dropping in search queries.  Scientists estimate, if the current trend persists, that by 2015 shit will drop into a dead heat with poop.

I need coffee!  Every morning when I get into work, my mind is moving in slow motion until I get my morning perk.  The morning coffee crew consisting of me, myself, Jimbo Nahinu, The Great Bringer, KFC and occassionally JP head off to get the magically wonderful drink known to the simple man as coffee.  Without this fantastic beverage, I would blankly stare at my computer screen until my boss came to ask me a question.  At which time, I would likely just twitch and drool and eyeball something in the distance over my boss’ left shoulder.  I know I’m not the only one to experience this coffee-less coma condition, countless Americans go through this morning confusion-delusion until they get their daily injection of caffeine. 

First things first.  I like coffee, not those fancy mocha chocolatte, triple espresso shot, 2% milk, with whip concontions that so many people just can’t seem to go without.  As crazy as it may sound, I like my coffee - coffee flavored.  Whoa!  What a revalation, coffee flavored coffee.  Countless weirdos with poodles and bluetooth headsets are fainting at this very instant and spilling their carmel hazelnut macchiatos.  I appologize to any of the readers out there that may have just ruined a perfectly good overpriced drink.

For those you who didn’t know, this February 22 is National Margarita Day.  It also so happens to be my birthday, so double whammy!  I think I’ll celebrate both by double fisting iced margaritas made with some overpriced tequila. In the left hand I’ll go with the Cadillac Margarita.  Here is an easy Cadillac Margarita recipe.

 2 oz. Cuervo 1800 Tequila - 1/2 oz. Grand Marnier - 2 oz. Lime Juice

Pour them all over ice in a tall mixing glass, shake it up, strain it into an ice cold cocktail glass, put some salt on the rim if you’d like, and slap on a garnishing lime wheel.  Your Cadillac Margarita is good to go.

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Wynn Las Vegas, but if not I highly recommend it.  I’ve stayed at plenty of Las Vegas Hotels, but not a single one can compete head-to-head with the Wynn Las Vegas.  I’ve been to some of the so-called second, third, fourth rate and heck, even the just-plain-shabby Las Vegas Hotels like the El Cortez.  I’ve stay at some of the top Las Vegas Hotels that claim to be as good or better than the Wynn Las Vegas like the Bellagio or the Venetian, but in reality there is no competition.  The Wynn Las Vegas is a the new level of luxury resort to hit the Las Vegas Strip.  This is the Vegas I want to see, no more family friendly roller coasters and kiddy pirate or magic shows.  In the new Vegas, the phrase “What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” really counts for something.  This is about living the high life and playing the stakes and doing all the things you wish were socially acceptable at home.  You just can’t get that at Treasure Island or the Stratosphere, for that kind of fun you need the right environment.  Wynn Las Vegas provides that high life, high rolling, and straight forward “lap of luxury” atmosphere that the Bellagio and Venetian wish they could. 

Wynn Las Vegas

Sure, the Bellagio and Venetian have their perks.  It’s not like they’re the Super 8 of Las Vegas Hotels, but the Wynn Las Vegas is a step or two above.  Just take a look at the ratings.  The Wynn Las Vegas is the only Casino Resort in the world with a Mobil 5 Star and AAA 5 Diamond Rating.   Let’s not forget that the Wynn Hotel is also the only Las Vegas Hotel to recieve the coveted Michelin 5 Red Pavilions Rating as well.  These ratings only say so much, you have to experience the Wynn Las Vegas to really appreciate what I’m talking about.  If you get the chance, and yes the extra cash, you just have to splurge on the Salon Suite at Wynn Las Vegas.  1800 plus square feet of simply amazing luxury Las Vegas accomodations.  That’s bigger than most people’s home, including mine.  I’m not rich by any means, so I understand that the Wynn can be a little high priced, but it’s worth every penny to stay in Hands Down the Best Las Vegas Hotel next time you and your buddies head to Vegas. 

I can’t say enough about the Wynn Las Vegas, so next time you go to Vegas do it right and stay at the Wynn.  Have them swing by the airport and pick you up in a Bentley.

I give the Wynn Las Vegas the first ever 5 Internet Gatekeepers Rating, the most coveted of all Las Vegas Hotel Ratings.  Go check it out.

So Say the Internet Gatekeeper!
