Nine fiber pills and a glass of magnesium last night has led to quite the bathroom party this morning.

[Smucky]

Laid quite the mush pile. Just like a real Mexican.

You should take the submarine tour, just don't forget to take nine fiber pills, glass of magnesium and drink a lot beer before that.

Bought some trinkets in Cozumel. Then went for a swim in amazingly clear water. Glad I brought some goggles. Random photo dump

Bought a very tiny "handmade" leather purse for daughter for $25. Nothing has prices, they just make it up. Got some espresso cups at ron Jon's. Ron Jon's is a bit sentimental as my grandma bought a mouse pad from (I guess the same store) there for me like 15 years ago back when she was in her right mind.

Also $13 tiny chocolate nibs

I bought an arcade package for the kids. Strolled through the arcade yesterday to check it out, and it's a pretty sad site. One game of Skee-Ball is $2 and I got like eight balls and was done in like 10 seconds. So basically if you're just going to dump your kids off at the arcade you're looking at spending $100 an hour or something at least.

The stroll through the shopping center at Cozumel was kind of annoying honestly. So many stores were basically the same and there was tons of tequila stores with people trying to get you to come in and sample. And if you decline their tequila samples they try to rope you in with their bottles of vanilla extract, and Mexico isn't really a producer of vanilla so nobody really knows what the heck's in their extracts.

The casino on the boat was a pretty sad state as well. It's basically hundreds of those digital slot machine things and I watched a few of them and they were more annoying than I realized with every button push was a large animation, almost video game like and sometimes very slow to show you the results like the machine is thinking or something. I couldn't imagine anyone under the age of 60 playing with those.

[Smucky]

Oh and I almost forgot, got to bang the wife last night. We put the kids to bed and then showered and then went in slowly but it was still hot and fast.
Put the used condom and wrapper inside of a diaper and rolled it up and tossed it in the trash can. No one will ever know.

Don't forget to buy some booze for infowar.

Last day on the water. Kind of sucks

[Smucky]

I'll add more to this thread on the days to come. Tired of typing on the phone for now.

The arcade is worse than I thought. I legit was going to spend most of my time there yesterday and burn tons of money but that's when I realized that so much stuff was broken. Like we just look at everything from far away, it seemed the games would be working.

But so many if you tried them, you'd realize stuff was broken, like some driving games had really wonky steering wheels. My daughter tried to play crossy road but it locke up completely at the start. To pay for the games you had to scan your badge on this little touch screen terminal thing where the quarters would usually go, but because of the badges are glossy, the barcode reader wouldn't really read it. And the screen was set to like a minimum sensitivity so touching the screen wouldn't really register anything. So even to try to pay for something you're stuck in this constant loop of trying to get it to scan, trying to get it to register your touch to confirm.

There was some flappy Bird game but as soon as you paid your $1 as soon as the bird touched anything and died, the game was over. So literally could you lose a dollar in just a matter of seconds. Each of my kids had $100 arcade package and my daughter kept spending it on the stupid claw machine trying to get a Minecraft plushie. I kept telling her to stop that it's a rip-off but she would just say she didn't want to waste the money because she didn't want to play anything else and today was the last day to spend it. So I'm pretty sure she spent $100 trying to get a $3 plushie. And after all that she said the arcade sucked and that she was very disappointed.

Of the three Skee-Ball machines only one was working and it would only give you three balls at a time so I couldn't burn all my money on that. Tried to play air hockey but it would randomly just not give you a puck and eat your $2.

I think these people got like 900 tickets from playing some ddr type game only it was with the piano. But even the machine that vends out prizes that you can redeem for tickets wasn't even working right. Two different items they chose the machine just didn't dispense it

This Candy crush game had a Windows desktop displayed so I started digging through it. Trying to find an internet browser and then I was going to point it to mastabeta.com There was a console open but the next thing I heard was "sir, sir that machine is rebooting!" So I bolted

Brought some of my home roasted coffee and a portable coffee grinder for that special occasion

[Smucky]

But I realized I roasted it a little bit too dark so it was about the same as the ship's coffee

[Smucky]

Back to home port now

The annoying thing is you're supposed to be out of your cabin by 8:00 a.m. and off the boat by 9:00 a.m. that seems kind of insane and rushed. So I got 4 hours of sleep and got up at 5:00 to enjoy the last few hours.

[Smucky]

You could sometimes find random stowaway birds.

I'm sure that's good for the environment.
