OTDOD - 11-12-8 Nothing Left to Talk About Edition
There looks to be a shortage of topics, since we appear to have burned through our weekly allotment of topics in yesterday's OTDOD.
We have to conserve topics for the rest of this week, so today's topics will be all about me and my trip. Any departure will get a stern (read: no) reprimand, which will be roundly ignored as you continue to talk about whatever the hell you want.
Topics for today include:
- What is there to do in a rural Mississippi casino besides gamble, drink, and selling electronics to hicks?
- Interesting things to do when you're on a plane for over 12 hours in the next week and a half.
- What is there to do in LV (for little to no money) besides strip clubs, gambling, drinking, and selling electronics to rich snobs?
- Does anyone want any pictures of anything in either of these places? Keep in mind, they have to be in running distance of the strip.
- Is there an app for BB that will let me participate in LL comment threads? Opera mobile crashes at the long-ass cookie that SBN tries to give you, the BB browser is more than useless, and neither let me log in.

You're going to go into LL withdrawls.
And yes, you can mock the locals in Mississippi. That’s more or less all I did.

Yes, I want a picture.
Of you with two half-naked midget-strippers standing in front of the MGM. Stripper gender is up to you.

Nice thing is,
after eight years of dedicated service to my company, they’re pissed that I’m missing four days in a row being sick, even though I have doctors orders NOT TO GO TO WORK until Friday because I’ll infect everyone in the office. I’m a litle pissed about that.
Then my assistant called me today because the computer system crashed, and our IT guy can’t be there until 8:30 tonight, so I can’t even chug some NyQuil and go to sleep and rest because I have to be available if he calls.

I like it, but it's very similar to opera mini, at least back when I had a smartphone

It has a few more features than opera mini/mobile (Flash!), but for me, the page load times were a little longer with Skyfire.
It’s all about what’s going on server-side, it would appear – I hear great things about loading facebook or whatever on skyfire, but I just care about what can load a long OFFTOP at LL faster.

yes yes a thousand times yes
One of the best places to people-watch is at either the Bellagio or the Wynn. Here you have all this opulence, and all this…well, you can’t call it “class”, really, but there’s definitely a lot of money sloshing around, and all you see walking through the lobby and casino is people wearing fanny packs and neon sweats. It’s truly mind-blowing.

When I was a kid
we used to visit my family in Reno a few times a year, and at Christmas we always stayed in a hotel because of the number of people at my grandma’s house. Even as a kid, I remember coming down in the morning to go to my grandma’s house and seeing people sitting at slot machines, then returning in the evening and seeing THE SAME PEOPLE AT THE SAME MACHINES OVER 12 HOURS LATER. This happened more times than I can remember, and it’s one of the things that made me not be a gambler. To this day I can play about an hour’s worth of blackjack and that’ll be all I can deal with.

It really is quite the deterrent.
In college, I played some poker and bet a little on football. Then I started betting more. Nothing drastic, but I was always losing more than I was winning, yet I still loved it. But after a few trips to Vegas, I have zero interest in gambling anymore. I like having food and shelter.

There's a ton of stuff to do in Vegas that doesn't involve gambling though
There’s art museums, great food, and other things – you don’t have to spend a single minute in a casino if you don’t want to. I firmly believe everyone should see Las Vegas at least once – it defies description (and reason), and it’s pretty amazing, in an “oh my god I can’t believe they did this” sort of way.

I love Las Vegas....or more accurately, I love the idea of Las Vegas.
It’s really great that someone built a city just to have a place where normal rules don’t apply.
You can’t really blame Vegas if what many, many people want to do when certain societal strictures are removed is to stare blankly at an electronic slot machine.
The combination of tacky opulence, slots, and desert heat mean it really shouldn’t be my kind of place, and I suppose it’s not, but it really is different and, yes, special. I’m biased, of course, seeing as I got married there, but I will always have a soft spot for LV, even if I really don’t care if I ever go there again.

I like to separate my winnings from my bet.
I start with whatever I’ve budgeted for gambling at my left hand, when I win a hand I put everything above the initial bet on my right hand. When the left hand is empty, I take the right hand stack and cash out for the day. I’ve seen a few other people do this, I like it. Keeps me in check, that and leaving my credit cards in the hotel room.

I'm a black jack player
Whenever I sit down I cash in enough for 2 stacks of ten chips.. Whenever I win another stack of 10, it goes in my left pocket and never comes back out. If I lose the 2 stacks that are on the table, I walk. Works pretty well for me and I can generally walk away a winner, albeit not a big winner since I don’t have the sack to stay in and make the big bets.

yup.
We’d been out drinking until about 5AM, and had slept for about two hours when we decided it was time to forage for food/water. After water was obtained, we realized it was 10AM and we were bored; it was too early to start drinking again (remember, kids, I’m pushing 40!), so we decided to head over to NYNY. The roller coaster looked like a lot of fun, and it was – but I really wasn’t right for the rest of the day. Cold sweats, shakes, nonstop nausea, you name it.
Note that this did not stop me from repeating the drinking/debauchery on night 2. But it took me a while to get up to speed.

It was an awful performance, but instead of Toto, it was Simple Minds. They were playing to a mostly empty convention center type meeting room. They were getting booed, yet they were still trying to get the audience to sing along with “Don’t You Forget About Me”.
It was sad.

I also had another dream about an aging early-90s rocker.
He was a cool enough guy, but his hair is what made him awesome. He had long hair (probably midway down his back) parted in the middle, and a neckbeard that was so long that the hair was perfectly straight. The head hair on each side of the part was hair-tied to half of the neckbeard.
It’s hard to explain without a visual, dammit.

This guy’s hair grows fast as hell, and he looked like he’d been on the streets for years by time baby was born. Then we had a backyard shaving party and fucked up all his hair before shaving it bald and letting him start from scratch

I had to get my finger nail removed from my middle finger one time (nasty bowling injury)
The gauze they wrapped it with bonded to the flesh where my finger nail used to be. I couldn’t remove it, and when I called the doctor they told me that all I needed to do was soak my finger in a mixture of HOT WATER AND SALT. It hurt. A bunch. Moral is to make sure that somebody can help with stuff, because self mutilation is tough to do

No, seriously, I had bowled a weekend tournament in a bowling alley that didn’t have air conditioning. 12 games in two days. My finger swelled up like you wouldn’t believe, and the nail ended up like a hangnail, although it was simply from the swelling and friction of bowling. 2 Days later, it was infected and I had to drop the nail to fix it

If there were anything around the four corners, it might be different – this seems like it would have been cooler in the 1950’s when there was nothing interesting to do, read, or watch, but nowadays it’s lost even the quaintness factor and it’s just oddly pointless.
