Lady escorted away from gaming table due to menstrual cycle
Thanks for clueing us in on how unstable baccarat players are(as if we didn't know already)Quote: Baccaratfrom79Click to view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Gx7gG57mY
I've never heard of the term "menses" before. I've heard of Mensa, but that's not the same think at all.

Menses is the polite medical term the lady-doctors use with us. Latin.
The Lady in Red takes on new significance. If I take the OP's reference to mean what I think it does. I can't view the video either.

Yes, I did look it up before I quoted that I hadn't heard of it, because I hadn't.
Not funny, clever, but not funny.Quote: rudeboyoiI thought red was a lucky color. How dare the casino ruin the flow of the table.
I even object to this thread being posted.

I think a lady being escorted away from the tables because of her physiological condition is of some interest. The casinos often put up with a lot before taking this kind of action, i.e. loud, drunk, smelly, obnoxious, rude people... The list goes on.

I believe my Lady in Red is post-menopausal
I didn't say it wasn't pertinent, I just objected to it. I have heard the story before but can't remember where. Perhaps on a weird news site or something(Tosh .0?). I love reading weird news when I run across it, it's absolutely fascinating.Quote: GreasyjohnI think a lady being escorted away from the tables because of her physiological condition is of some interest.

Quote: Sabretom2The video played for me, unfortunately.
That's how I felt. Why would somebody post
something like this, what's the point. It was
so disgusting they couldn't even get real
people to re-inact it.
Quote: 1BBTime to close this thread?
I vote to close it also, never should have
been started.
Quote: EvenBobIt was so disgusting they couldn't even get real people to re-inact it.
I believe that particular news feed (Apply Daily English) does many of their reports in an animated format.
They are not the only such news outlet.
As for the boys who hadn't heard the term "menses" before, I think you should have paid better attention in health class.
Quote: kewljYeah, this is just gross. But if we have to have this thread, maybe we could combine this with the 'table spills' thread. I mean this is sort of a spill. Lol.
Well, the "spills" thread does have the Sham Wow.
bodily function, like all others. We all
have them, bodily functions, we just
don't discuss them in polite company.
This thread might as well read 'man
craps in his pants and is kicked out of
casino'. Well, duh.
I ask again. Why did the OP think anybody
here would want to read this, that's the
strange thing.
Quote: EvenBobThe thing is, a woman's period is just a
bodily function, like all others. We all
have them, bodily functions, we just
don't discuss them in polite company.

I think the story had some merit. It's not, in my opinion, as bad as your feses example. Casinos will let people get drunk, be incredibly rude to dealers and other patrons, smell at the table, and the list goes on. It's interesting to see where they draw the line. I couldn't see the video, and perhaps had I seen it I would have been repulsed.
But that's about all that interests me about the thread. Now it's been covered. I don't think anyone's going to complain if the thread is closed.
Quote: GreasyjohnI couldn't see the video, and perhaps I would be repulsed.
Perhaps? There's an understatement.
Quote: EvenBobI vote to close it also, never should have

I don't think our opinions carry much weight here, Bob. If this once highly respected forum is going to be allowed to turn into an embarrassing laughingstock, it won't be because of us. Very sad.
There's just some things I personally didn't want to hear about if possible. I don't care about all the reasonable rationale of why it's ok. I just think its taboo.Quote: rudeboyoiI don't get what the big deal is. It's a cartoon. I found it humorous when they filled the whole place up with blood. I think reading about it would be worse. The cartoon helps lighten the mood.
I would rather hear a filthy joke. NVM we did.

That's not a "Well, duh" moment, really. Out here in the hinterlands, several places don't insist on stopping the game when a patron soils themselves. The dealers are a bit disgusted by it, the other patrons are often disgusted by it, but the house will gladly let them keep losing.
I understand that a classier casino ("luxury casino" I believe was the term the video used) would have standards, however.
And frankly, that the standard appears to be "no dripping onto the floor" is reasonable. I don't care what bodily function it is; don't be dripping onto the floor.

Once I was playing blackjack the Oasis in Mesquite. I'm in seat 2. Two young pretty wasted Mexicans sitting next to me. One of them turns sideways and spits a quarter-sized lugie onto the carpeting. Dealer didn't say anything. It caught me by surprise. I would have liked to perhaps have said, "Do you do that at home?"
That's a profound difference between our culture today and 70 years ago. We don't demand better behavior from rude, out of control, crude, respect-lacking people.
Quote: Gabes22Another profound difference between now and 70 years ago, is there probably was a spittoon available nearby. Then again, that may have been more than 70 years ago
Didnt the floors have sawdust on them too?
Quote: 1BBDon't you love it when they put their cigarettes out in the carpet?
A hundred years ago they would have gotten a good thumpin'.
Quote: rudeboyoiDidnt the floors have sawdust on them too?
Yes, but the Flamingo was being built. Real class. Sophisticated. Dealers' in tuxes. A real carpet joint.
Quote: Deucekiesa link to the article would make this thread a lot more justified.
Normally, I'd be all "LMGTFY", but since I already did...

The animation makes it so funny but it is a sad story. People seems to show more sympathy to the drug and alcohol addictions. If this story is about a woman with alcohol addiction drinking twelve hours straight, do you still find it funny?

Sure I would, at least if she pissed herself.

70 years ago, not in our wildest dreams would we be talking about a story like this, or there even being a story like this. We have become jaded. The internet has brought all manner of everything into our lives and homes. Porn, death, beheadings, all manner of debauchery.
Is the video about a menstrual cycle funny? It's not unwatchable. The animation is good. Am I guilty of being jaded and being able to comfortably read stories like this and worse and not have a visceral negative reaction to it all? Yes.
In some ways, the world changes so slowly that before you know it, it adds up in time to huge changes. We are all sucked in.
Just food for thought.
It would be nice to live in northern Italy and spend the summer climbing the Matterhorn.
Quote: Greasyjohnspend the summer climbing the Matterhorn.
It takes all summer? Must be a big mountain.
Quote: EvenBobIt takes all summer? Must be a big mountain.
At 14,692 feet you would need to get acclimated. I would spend several days, perhaps with breaks in between, reconnoitering and familiarizing myself with the terrain and mountain. If I were to attempt the summit, I would probably go up the classic route that Ed Whymper took when he made his historic 1865 first ascent.
The first conquering of the Matterhorn is arguably the best known tragedy in mountaineering history. Four of seven in the party met their deaths on the descent. This story and the story of those that were in competition to be the first to achieve the summit is captivating.
A wonderful book on these subjects is, Mountain Conquest.
