I'm salivating and fidgeting both at the same time.
The world's largest daycare center for men is being built 6.8 miles from my front door (that's Bass Pro for those of you living in a cave).
I've been driving by, checking on it's progress for maybe the last six months and they haven't even started pouring cement yet. So far they're just scrapin' dirt around -- some drabble about the ground having to be level and crap like that.
Scheduled to open late fall this year, but I don't see how unless a team of Martians land and help build the thing.
200,000 square feet of heaven. I can go into one of these things and wander around for hours. I've even got a girlfriend who'll go into one of these things with me...and buy more than I do. Thank you God.
Guess I shouldn't be so ancy, there's a 185,000 square foot Cabela's being built 55 miles north of my house that opens in less than three weeks. Nice place, but as we all know they are anti-trapping, right?
Okay, Bass Pro is my little slice of Heaven -- what's yours?

My slice of heaven is in my garage, on a dirt road or behind a call.
If you're referring to big-city-type places it would be looking at big screen TV's at Circuit City or having a beer while waiting for dinner at a steakhouse.
Leonard's campout wasn't too shabby 'cept for the storm Higgins brought with him.

Probably raining in Utah as we speak.

I spend too much time at Cabela's critiqing the mounts. Now, if you wanna see a daycare for grown men, go to any major electronics place and sneak a peak at the plasma TV department. Dozens of real men just standing around, drooling, and saying, "Ooooooooooooooooo". (I'm usually somewhere in the group.)
