I decided not to comment further on my trip to Vegas since most of my adventures were covered in my conversation posted on x's site.....and judging from the responses she got, I don't want to talk about it any more because of all the Cliff Clavin's it brought out of the woodwork wanting to chime in. I don't want to speak for x, but I just don't get it....our conversations are amusing to us, and they are posted because other people might find them funny too, but there are people who take what we say far too seriously. We are shooting the shit....talking out of our ass....we do not claim to be presenting facts....we are not the Encyclopedia Britannica....we are trying to amuse, not inform. Know-it-alls should restrict their correspondence to guessing the movie quotes....there are no bonus points for trying to correct us. When I write: "the Answer was breakin' ankles last night", I don't need to hear: "Iverson doesn't actually break his opponents ankles....that's just an expression for a good move....he might occasionally cause his defender to twist an ankle, which might be what's causing you to be confused". If you are "that guy", then you need to get out more....

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I've posted......fighting the evils of The Man takes up a lot of my time. I did have a chance to go to Vegas, ghetto-style. It was for a bachelor party, and I wasn't going with my normal crew. This group had some guys of the skin-flint variety, which is how we ended up staying downtown instead of on the strip. Call me a snob, but I don't go to Vegas for $10 buffets and blackjack tables that take coupons.....that's what Reno is for. Nobody else seemed as bothered by our accomodations than I was, but then again, one of the guys wore shorts and sandals with black socks.....black socks?!!...that's the kind of crowd I was hanging with. We had to collect $20 from everybody one time, and when we got to that guy, I said: "only collect $17 from him and have him use the rest on a pair of white socks."....I wasn't kidding either. I can't be rolling with a guy like that....what if I ran into somebody I knew?...I'm a marked man because of my instigating ways, so I can't go providing ammunition like that to my detractors.
More Vegas chronicles to come......
