Quote: KB1Mission,
I am rooting for you all the way man.
Now let me make a suggestion.
In this contest you will probably need to catch a few"key burps".
In order to facilitate this I reccomend a bottle of tums.
Everytime you down 10 nuggets go ahead and chew up 2 tums and swallow them so that your stomach doesn't explode.
Also,this will help with the bad stomach ache you will get from the abnormal amount of grease that will be entering your body quite rapidly.
Hope you pull it off!
KB1
Unless that McDonald's happens to sell Tums, I can't use them.

Doesn't it sort of feel like fast food restaurants should do that?
They will be rooting against Mission146 so they can have any leftover nuggets.
Quote: rainmanI was trying to make this spectacle. I was just going to play the random guy in the crowd role so I could see Mission barf :) but I cant make it. I'm kinda pullin for the guy because I like him, Even tho I got 2 Benny's on the dark side. :)
Thanks for the sentiment, but I must say, I'm going to try to let you down! LOL

You go right ahead and let him down, Mission; I'll be happy to be collecting right along side you (in spirit; I don't expect to be there).
Please Verify the bet. I'm offering you 2 to 1 for $10 My bet is that Varmenti will be a no show. If he shows up you get $20 if not you owe me $10.Quote: petroglyphI'm not certain this is a fair wager? You are an ap and I'm just a gambler and a red chip one at that.
If you already have prior knowledge, or he's in jail or can't legally enter the US, then no bet. OK?
Can we start with a ten dollar wager?
If you want to bet more then $10 let me know.

Oh, yeah were definitely on.
I wasn't sure whether or not to respond when you said you accepted, but count me in. Also, I agree if the Ms. shows instead its a push.
I agree the fun factor is worth way more than the $, that was my goal, and the camaraderie is good too.
I hope he shows, just for everyones fun, what a hoot. He seemed like a fun guy.
I was talking about Rebecca Varmenti, the chick in the pic. she has no relation to him or so i believe. It was more of a Joke... anyways ill give you a push on any of the 2.Quote: petroglyphOh, yeah were definitely on.

Why do you post pics like that on here. They're
cruel to old farts like me and half the guys on
here. That women who look like that actually
exist, and we're old enough to be their grandfathers,
is just cruel.
Sorry but i didn't post it I have yet to fig out how to post pics.Quote: EvenBobWhy do you post pics like that on here. They're

Yes they do exist, I run into them all the time. I had a long running play for over a year, a few years ago at a local bar here in Vegas, called The Brewery Bar & Grill on Sunset. The owner only hired young HOT friendly female bartenders and waitresses he had about 10 of them on staff. They would drink and party after work in the bar and bring in friends. I would go clubbing and party with them on the weekends. Unfortunately the owner got sick and shut down the bar.
Me and a few guys from this message board ran into a smoking hot 23 year blonde old girl with her decent Filipino friend, just the other night at the Elcortez Bar of all places. She looked like an actress, she was probably a 9.5. I thought for sure she was a working girl. She was not, she grew up in Vegas but moved to Cali for collage. She was back for vacation visiting friends and family. I did ask her why she was was hanging out in a place like this. She said, she was not into clubbing and crowds and she liked watching all the interesting crazy people downtown. Very sweet girl.
BJ's near the strip has extremely hot girls, they used to dress in Lagerie.

Yes, the Brewery. I don't know which promo you were referring to, but i used to play the Flush promo there. BTW, bartenders Jen and Heather are now at Putters.
After Mission eats all the nuggets, I'd like to see his (ahigh's) mad dice control skills bury one of the downtown casinos.
Quote: Mission146I don't know if he'll at the event or not, but we are scheduled to shoot together early Monday morning.
oooooh, I would love to be there betting the Dont. I would be polite of course, like not yelling for a 7 after the point is set.
Hmm, early Mon. Gotta be downtown. I'm on East coast time, I allways get up at the crack of dawn when in Vegas.
I think I'll take a leisurely walk around Mon morning looking for interesting craps action :-)
Added edit since ahigh may read this thread.
I rarely bet craps, its not my game. I am a Dont bettor simply because I read the Wiz's odds site and its the better bet. Believe me, if I see dice influence, I'm switching to the light side. I like to win money just like anybody else. Thats why I play dont.
Hmmm...... I must know you then, If you played it before they cut it down and changed the GB system. How long did you play it for? Did you play the good pay multi lines? or single lines? I stopped playing it a few months prior to them making significant changes. Were you at the graveyard drawings? I can only think of 2 other people that played it. unless you didn't play it often. Do you know where Candy went? Last time I seen her she was at the Poker club bar. Over off of Tropicana. Were you around when Jen got married? I didn't get along with Heather to well.Quote: DRichYes, the Brewery. I don't know which promo you were referring to, but i used to play the Flush promo there.

I'll have to go through that other thread later on and see who else said they were coming to one or the other.

You can check that out, if you like. DRich's photo appears with some of the other WoVCon ]I[ photos here. Just scroll down that post to the photo with his forum name. (So much for anonymity on the internet!)

I did not play that promo very often. I am just a part time player, 90% of my income comes from other places now. The Village Pub's were my gold mine for about 8 years.

Did I forget anybody? chime in if you are on the undetermined list
I see, I would have missed you, if you played on day shift at the Brewery. I normally came in at dinner time and played till around 7 am.(that place was not good for my liver) They always had late night shenanigans, girls did dance on bar tops. They had a ton of football and holiday parties. It was an absolute blast, and people say AP don't have fun. At one point the brewery was +5% on multi line .25, not including the drawing, bounce back, bingo cards and high hands, free food to. They also had a free video poker and pool tourney with a $300 prize pool each...... I was backed off the pool tourney of all things.Quote: DRichI did not play that promo very often.

I assumed at the Village Pub you played the good Bonus deuces, including bounce back and bingo cards, along with the free meals, They do have good food. Your heart must have sank when GB gutted almost every pay-scale in town.
On a side note my Father and I were playing at the Brewery one morning, I decided to call it an early morning. My Father said, he was going to get one more bonus and leave, so I left. On his way out, he decided to run off the left over pool balls off the table. 3 guys with masks and guns stormed the place. My dad, thinking he was mostly out of their sight, tossed his wallet under the pool table, one of the robbers seen this and aimed the shot gun at my dad. He threatened to kill him. Stating," I don't want you F'ing money, we want the bars money, if you move again, I will kill you" This was the 3rd time I just missed A bar robbery. My friends got caught up in one with a very violent killer. One occasion people were killed, nobody I knew. My AP friend Will not play in a bar after dark.
Axel, yes I played the Deuces Bonus for years at $50 a hand. The swings were huge but it was very positive. Their best promo was when they were giving $100 free play for every W2G. I was playing a positive game and hitting a W2G about every 20 to 30 minutes. Eventually they changed it to just one per day.
There is a 75% chance I will show up and a %50 Chance my GF will accompany me. I am aware of 2 other people probably attending 1 being Djtc. If something comes up and I am unable to make it. I will arrange for someone to settle any wagers.Quote: terapinedI went throught the thread to try to determine who will be attending.

Ahh yes, I do remember that promotion, I only played it a few times at the Flamingo location. I cant remember, but there was something I didn't like about it. Possibly I didn't know about it until after they gutted the pays.Quote: DRichI haven't decided yet if I will make it to the challenge. I may stop by for the challenge but I don't really want to miss a few of the bowl games that day.

Whats the largest bingo card you hit? My GF has one with like 4 to go, if I can remember right its still at 30k, don't quote me on the exact amounts. We were waiting for the right opportunity to continue. Was hoping we would find a good muli line. I may post the exact numbers and see if anyone can figure what its worth. that math is over my head. Most of mine sucked.Quote: DRichI haven't decided yet if I will make it to the challenge. I may stop by for the challenge but I don't really want to miss a few of the bowl games that day.

I mentioned this to a few member's, and we were wondering if this could be geared towards gambling questions? Perhaps A non attending member can come up with the questions, that way you can participate as well.Quote: WizardRoughly how many people are we going to have for the post-challenge dinner at the Main Street Station?

If she took apple pies and she was downtown this would be a great play. I went to the McDonalds in the Plaza and there is a sign that reads, "If we do not offer you an apple pie it's free."
I created a mini-diversion of waiting for the digital display to change to the McRib special and ordered while paying with a $100 bill. She forgot to ask for the pie and I netted one extra apple pie.

You'll be leaving hungry.
Maybe what I'll do is write up some questions, but if the turnout isn't high I'll just save them for the next summer gathering. I will try to write more gambling questions this time.
I didn't know EvenBob is planning to attend the McNugget portion. It will be good to meet the #1 poster.

Sounds like a mega long NL session to recoup the costs, or playing 25c FPDW till you hit a royal.
Kinda like the scene in Rounders when Matt Damon had to grind out $15k after getting his face beat in by the cops.

Maybe so...but she has supported me more than she should have this year... :-\ And what tax breaks will I get by marrying her? I will likely owe nothing to the government this year. :'(

Nah I would grind out a $6/$12 mix game instead since I am a weirdo who hates holdem. It's usually at Orleans (currently running, fyi), so with that and 9/6 JoB w/STP at Gold Coast, I could actually generate some type of offer...maybe.
