Here is the promised update, dear readers. I have eaten more food. And after that, I ate more food. Later, I shall most likely eat more food. And then perhaps David and I will hit the craps tables, although what the craps tables did to deserve being hit – well, actually, if one loses the craps tables deserve to be hit, don’t they now? Well, until tomorrow then.
Well, dear readers, here I am, live from Las Vegas, and having fun. My throat is a bit raw this morning because of all the smoke. That is the problem with Las Vegas. It’s not just second-hand smoke, it’s like someone has smoked sixteen packs and blown the smoke down your very own throat. In fact, I should think Las Vegas is the smoke capitol of the world. Sure, you can ask for a non-smoking room, but by the time you get up to it, you are smoked like a ham. I am one smoked bk, I will tell you that.
We arrived at two o’clock yesterday, and immediately checked in to our rooms, then went downstairs and had a spot of lunch. Well, it wasn’t exactly a “spot” of lunch, it was a whole blob of lunch. I had the amusing Fried Catfish Po’ Boy and fries. We then went to a craps table and David immediately won one hundred dollars. I watched. Then I went to the poker room and got seated at a seven card stud game. That is because I have always fancied myself a seven card stud. I sat there for quite some time and played seven card stud, which is the best thing to do when you’re in a seven card stud game. It wasn’t much of a game however, but to find out how I did you’ll have to click the unseemly button below.
I lost, that’s how I did, how is that for a fine can of tomatoes? I lost seventy big ones. I mean big ones, as in one dollar bills, not seventy large, as they say on The Sopranos. During my time at the table, David wandered over and told me he’d gone back to the craps table, lost his hundred that he’d won and an additional hundred. About an hour later, he wandered over again and told me that he’d won back the hundred he’d lost and an additional six hundred dollars. We then went to eat a spot of dinner.
And what a dinner. I had Steak Oscar, which is steak with bernaise sauce, crab and asparagus lying on top like so much fish. And then their special scalloped potatoes with blue cheese. Oh, and a Shrimp Cocktail and a salad. Yes, it was a lovely spot of dinner and afterwards both David and I looked like two hundred pound spots, so much food did we eat. We then went back to the craps tables, I gave David a twenty and he put in a twenty and in five minutes I’d won back my seventy large one dollar bills plus won an additional fifty bucks. I’m beginning to like craps, although I do not understand it.
Well, I must keep these notes short today, because David is coming by any minute and we will go downstairs for a spot of something to eat.
Not nearly enough comments yesterday. I live for your comments, dear readers, so please take advantage of the Unseemly Comment Box below, although what the Unseemly Comment Box did to deserve anyone taking advantage of it I have no idea.
I’ll have more to report later – check in for sure, because I may update these here notes later today (the new stuff will be right at the beginning, so you won’t have to click any unseemly buttons.
