The Hangover

I just got done watching the hangover. It wasn't my first time watching it, but its still pretty funny. especially when they open up the trunk looking for doug, lol, priceless.

ok, first of all, here's what it's about. I would like to send out an epic spoiler alert to everyone out there who for some reason havn't seen it yet. This is the whole storyline. if you don't want to ruin it, than just skip t the ratings.

Ok, so this guy is getting married in a few days and he's taking his 2 buddies and his fiance's brother to vegas for the bachelor party. The father-in-law lets them take his mint condition mercades benz for the weekend. The guy that's getting married (Dough) takes the car and takes his buddies to vegas. The ne guy has to lie to his girlfriend first and tells her they're going to wine country, lol. can't believe she actually bought it. She's a major controlling b*tch that cheated on him. Living with her has turned him basically into a f*g.
So, they go to vegas in the car, check into Ceasar's palace, and go out gambeling and partying. Before they do that though, they go to the roof and have a toast to "the night they'll never remember, but the 4 of them will never forget." Then, it flashes foreward to the morning. the apartments a complete mess, there's a baby at the front door, a chicken walking around, and a tiger in the bathroom. To top it all off, Dough is missing. The whole movie is about the other 3 guys trying to figure out what happened that night and looking for Dough so they can get him back home before the wedding.
Its kind of a long story about what happened, but ill try to tell you about it by picking one thing at a time to explain.
first off, the reason they can't remember anything is the fiance's brother slipped what he thought was extacy into the drinks they toasted. It was actually roufis.
No clue how the chicken ended up there, but it's funny, lol
The baby is the kid of a stripper that 1 of them got married to. Guess which 1? lol, the 1 with the mega b*tch gf.
The tiger is Mike Tyson's tiger. They snuck into his house and stole it.
forgot to mention they have a cop car. The get arrested for stealing it. The get out by making a deal with the cops that if they demonstrate to a group of kids on a field trip how a tazer works, they'll be let free. That parts funny. the 1 guy gets tazed in the nuts, lol.
They get let out of the police hq, but while there in there, the cops tell them where the benz is.
So they get the benz, there driving along, and they hear something in the trunk. They think its Dough, so they pul over and check it out. When they open it up, they get attacked by a gay naked chinese guy with a crowbar, lol.
The story with the chinese guy is they were gambling with him and he won 80k. The 1 guy steals his man-purse that had all the money in it. He got p*ssed, so they stripped him and threw him in the trunk. So once he gets out of the trunk of the car, he finds some clothes and gets his thugs to hunt the guys down. It turns out, they captured a guy named dough and they made a deal that if they give him the 80k he lets dough go. they were all on roofies so they had no clue where it could be.
how they get saved is the fiance's brother finds the card counting book that he brought along. They all hit the casinos, win 80k playing blackjack, and thn they give the money to the gay chinese dude. So he lets dough go. it turns out, its the wrong dough. its the guy that sold the other guy the roofies. thats how they find out how it wasn't extacy. So, the question you're all probably asking yourselves is where is the real dough? where could he possably be? Here's the clever thing in the story.
when there talking about the roofies, someone made the comment "why don't they call it floories? you're more likely to end up on the floor than on the roof." And thats when it hit them. They'd taken dough up to the roof after he passed out and locked him up there as a prank, lol. and of corse, being all drugged up, no1 remembered to let him down. They make the wedding last second (literally), the father-in-law gives dough the car as a wedding gift so it doesn't even matter that it's trashed beyond belief, and f*gzoid dumps controlling hi- maintenence superbitch and starts dating the stripper he married. (after she gave him the ring back, lol). dont you love how everything has a happy ending? lol. Also, remember the money that the guys stle from the chinese dude and lost? Dough had it in his pocket on the roof the whole time, lol. They made it out of vegas with 80 grand to spare.

ok, so here's my ratings of it.

everyone, the hangover. hope you enjoyed.

Gettysberg

Today, i took a day trip to  the historical city of Gettysberg, Pennsylvania to see the civil war battlefield. It was pretty fun.
THE MUSEUM
First i took a tour thrugh the museum. That was cool for anyone who likes history. There were displays with weapons used in the civil war, and from a few decades before. They had full union and confederate uniforms. There was a Lincoln biography, there were letters written by the soldiers as well as pictures taken of the war. It was great. The next section we went to had a 10 foot tall geographical map of the battlefield as well as a smaller map of the same place with landmarks on it. It was fun.

museum rating 6.5/10

THE GIFT SHOP
It was pretty cool at first. a lot of interesting stuff in there. I was enjoying it untill i started to look at price tags. It was expensive beyond belief. Out of the whole huge room, i only found a few things that cost less than 10 bucks. The price for more than half of the stuff there was 20 dollars, and they weren't even worth 10 in my opinion.

gift shop rating 2/10

THE BATTLEFIELD
The actual battlefield was pretty cool i think. We didn't get a tour guide, we just drove around and looked at the monumens on our own. It was great. They had monuments for every division that faught in the battle. On those, they had the names of every single person that took part in the battle from both sides, their ranks, and what firing line they were in. I took pictures from the top of the Pennsylvania monument, it was a pretty good view from there, but there was a much better view from the steel lookout tower. You could see literally the whole battlefield from there. I got some awesome pics.

battlefield rating 8.7/10

overall rating (average rating of all parts of the trip) 6.1/10

my personam rating of the whole trip 7.5/10

Also, it was a 2 hour drive both ways, which brings me to my next catagory:

MUSIC
here's some songs i heard today that caught my attention.

Aerosmith Dream On
a great song. i liked it a lot. 8/10

Aerosmith Kings and Queens (i had an Aerosmith CD along)
It was oretty good. not sure which was better, this or Dream On. 8/10

That's about it. I wasn't really paying attention to any of the stuff on the radio. There were a lot of commercials anyway.
