CalvinAyre.com is organizing a social in Vegas right on the strip on Friday night, August 27th, hosted by BodogBecky (me!).

Thanks for the party Becky! It was fun.
I recently traveled and as my companion and I were settling into the room, she happened upon the Gideon Bible so I used this opportunity to propose one of the oldest foolish bets there is. Well, with Judges:16-19 right there we determined that Delilah summoned a man and had him cut Sampson's hair, but, as always, my companion never pays me the hundred dollars when she loses! When will I ever learn?
Oh my goodness, I can't believe you got hooked into a Wizard prop bet! Don't you know not to bet against him? See my trip report from the last meetup ... Nareed, I think you need to add this to your ironclad rules of Las Vegas.Quote: JimMorrisonNice to meet you last night Becky, it was a really fun party! Although WOO managed to beat me in yet another prop bet when I said the waitress would know who the Vice President is. The waitress said Dick Cheney and the Wizard takes my money again.

Don't be silly. Beating the Wizard on a prop bet is a real Vegas challenge. You just have to figure out what bet to pick.

Over the years I have won exactly one prop bet every with WOO yet I do it again and again. To be fair here, he asked which side I wanted in the bet and I thought she'd know it. I immediately knew I was in trouble when a girl I knew who had met up with WOO and me didn't know the answer and had been a political science major!

Soo nice to meet you too!! Have a look at my pictures and article from the night...I even mention the Wizard and his cribbage board. :)
