Leaving Las Vegas
Gambling results so far: Down $3650.85 I don't want to talk about it. I think the whole casino was against me ever since when I tried to roll the dice in craps and hit the dealer in the chest. Anyway, off to a new land tomorrow. Said goodbye to the Greek by having him buy us an expensive buffet. I decided to write him a Bye-Ku like Best of the Web was doing: A frick'n retard Well, hopefully I'll have a post for you late tomorrow afternoon... a real one - all special and hand crafted. Plus, I'll tell you what new wheel Dr. J will be chauffeuring me around in. Oh, and didn't I have some big announcement for you all? Wait, I'm not supposed to tell you that for a week or so. Later, y'all. 70 Responses To "Leaving Las Vegas"
All I can say is: whoa. Oh, and first! #1 - Posted by: blackbird4739 on August 2, 2004 02:15 AMHoly crap! Problem is you're probably playing on the strip. The odds there are atrocious. The Station casinos are much better. (they cater to locals, that's why they have better odds) #2 - Posted by: Brandon on August 2, 2004 02:50 AMWhat the....? damn - i hope that's a joke #4 - Posted by: Orange County on August 2, 2004 03:40 AMSorry to hear Frank. How's that old saying go? Oh, right: Don't gamble when the odds are against you. Or something like that. #5 - Posted by: Indorphin on August 2, 2004 03:54 AMa little old lady rolled you in Slot Machine Alley, eh? Oh, "Greek Slur"? I like how you can bring out that sensitive poetic side of you whenever you want. That's talent. You should sell that stuff. #7 - Posted by: Heath C. on August 2, 2004 04:58 AMyou should get the hell out of vegas before you lose your shirt! wow, hope your lucks turns round... #8 - Posted by: ang on August 2, 2004 05:14 AM$3650.85 ? I see you took my suggestion :) Well at least we know where you blog donations whent :) #9 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on August 2, 2004 07:43 AMHmm, that sucks. Damn, Frank, You're sounding like a woman from the Midwest who's 50lbs overweight complaining about her husband's driving yet will never get behind the wheel. Oh, yeah, Greek slur: Brillo-backed butt-boy #11 - Posted by: El Jefe on August 2, 2004 07:46 AMDagnabbit, that would buy a fair amount of ordnance... #12 - Posted by: Nate on August 2, 2004 07:54 AMeek, Frank! i hope the per diem makes up for it, but somehow i doubt it. sorry 'bout that. #13 - Posted by: sarahk on August 2, 2004 07:54 AMIt's ok Frank. There should be places in the area where you can give blood plasma for cash. Just remember, those people like to draw the blood themselves; you can't just bring in a bucket full. #14 - Posted by: LibertyBob on August 2, 2004 08:04 AMHoly crap Chief, I hope that's not the real amount you're down. For the Greek slur, I'm not sure what everyone else uses, but my mom and grandmother have come up with a few zingers in Greek. #15 - Posted by: Turkeyhead on August 2, 2004 08:35 AMOh, so your money stays in Vegas too? They left that part out of the commercials. #16 - Posted by: Dr.J on August 2, 2004 08:52 AMHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Frank is poor! Wahahahahah... Good one. Now pull the other one! #17 - Posted by: beo on August 2, 2004 09:07 AMGreek slur, in the appropriate 5-syllable meter: 'Worse than a damn Turk' #18 - Posted by: beo on August 2, 2004 09:12 AMdamn Frank you need to learn how to count cards. #19 - Posted by: random prose on August 2, 2004 09:16 AMor, alternatively, you could learn to not assault casino staff. hehehehe you are funny. #20 - Posted by: random prose on August 2, 2004 09:17 AMIt's really not necessary to slur a culture when their most honored and ancient warriors, the Spartans, were fairies. Oops, did I just say that out loud? #22 - Posted by: Paul on August 2, 2004 09:54 AMheh, first post for me. Maybe your next vehicle should be one of those SUV Limo's. They are even bigger. Don't worry aboutyour lack of political satire the last few posts. I got my fix from (trust me people) the hilarious stupidity of planned parent hood. http://www.ppaction.org/ppvotes/choice_chick.html #23 - Posted by: J I Erde on August 2, 2004 10:20 AMOf course, there is always a bright side. I just bought Frank's car from a casino/mafia collection goon for $4000.00! #24 - Posted by: Chris on August 2, 2004 10:27 AMuh, I don't think Frank's car would be worth more than, oh, say $200.00. sucker! #25 - Posted by: maggie katzen on August 2, 2004 11:22 AMFrank, I'm assuming/hoping that your kidding. If not, you have a lot of explaing to do to Sarahk. (agentsmith) PIMF. #27 - Posted by: Trucido on August 2, 2004 11:31 AMDamned mafia collections goons! #28 - Posted by: Chris on August 2, 2004 11:37 AM"Gambling results so far: Down $3650.85" off to a new land tommorrow...off to a new landlord when you come home. #29 - Posted by: Jauyme on August 2, 2004 12:21 PMYou all left out the part where frank said he had a big announcement next week...which is he can't afford to keep this blog running. #30 - Posted by: Jayme on August 2, 2004 12:26 PMYou can afford to be down that much and you bought a Hyundai? We still love you but, come on!!!! #31 - Posted by: Wolf's Dawn on August 2, 2004 12:46 PMViva Lost Wages #32 - Posted by: Dave in Texas on August 2, 2004 12:58 PMgeez, i would have thought a person as conservative as you would be wiser with his money. #33 - Posted by: Rikor on August 2, 2004 01:06 PM36 hundred?? THAT is frick'n retarded #34 - Posted by: gibsonrlz on August 2, 2004 01:18 PMOh well you only live once #35 - Posted by: gibsonrlz on August 2, 2004 01:20 PMAll the money from all those NTM shirts. FLUSH. #36 - Posted by: spacemonkey on August 2, 2004 01:25 PMThough I do not comment alot I read nearly everyday. My comments always seem so pithy but when I post they lose their charm. I hope to grow up and have a blog someday. I am a big fan. A loyal fan and reader. Humbly I ask...Can you explain what brought you from playing with hundreds to 10's of hundreds? Was there a little voice? An overwhelming sense of peace? Dread? just curious #37 - Posted by: gibsonrlz on August 2, 2004 01:32 PM3650.85? You're joking right?! Please say your joking. You can buy a pretty big diamond with that kind of moolah. I only know Italian slurs (married a Sicilian), but I think they're kind of interchangeable with the Greek slurs. #38 - Posted by: jonag on August 2, 2004 01:42 PMYeah, Frank got way too drunk on his bourbon with Guinness chasers and started dropping four-figure bets on the middle card when he stumbled across the three card monty table out on the sidewalk. #39 - Posted by: beo on August 2, 2004 02:27 PMDang, Frank J... looks like it's all been said, so I'll give you your own haiku: IMAO means Never forget the timeless words of Samurai Kenny-san (Rogers) regarding taking risks: You've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. Know when to walk away, and know when to run. Well if your not joking, at least gambeling losses are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!! I never liked that song. Gag, gag, gag. Coward of the County could use some re-writing. Everyone considered him the coward of the country. He never stood one single time to prove the country wrong. His mama named him Jacques. The folks just called him (insert whatever the French word is for yellow. I don't remember).... #42 - Posted by: Wolf's Dawn on August 2, 2004 03:07 PMHey, I'm no big country music fan here, but I won't tolerate any disparaging remarks about Kenny. He's the man. #43 - Posted by: beo on August 2, 2004 03:13 PMI played semi-pro Blackjack for awhile, had a major loss where I took plenty of balls to the table, but forgot my brains. Even then, I only lost about $800 in one night. I'm thinking $3500 would buy a certain someone a nice sparkly rock...which would kinda count as gambling on a "yes". FYI- Gambling Losses are NOT tax deductible!!!! Found that out when I tried to write off my big loss above. You can only use "gambling losses" to offsett taxable gambling **winnings**. And only if you win some serious cash does the casino report it. #44 - Posted by: Jolly Roger on August 2, 2004 03:58 PM$3650.85??? thats like 75 lap dances!! #45 - Posted by: Josh on August 2, 2004 04:10 PMKERRY HAS MAFIA TIES http://forums.santacruzsentinel.com/cgi-bin/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=001170 http://murdertheleft.blogspot.com/ #46 - Posted by: Murder T. Left on August 2, 2004 04:12 PMActually, it's more like 182.5 lap dances. #47 - Posted by: Jolly Roger on August 2, 2004 04:12 PMFrank, I know that this is off topic, however, I would like you to know that the Grand Muckadoo Ian has given me the incentive to start my own blog (right wing conservative, of course). I would like some suggestions for a URL. So far I have... stompiansgutsout.us Thanks for any insight... Carl Dang! I hope that you lost that in a cool gamble like, "I bet this rented Ferrari can take that turn at this speed" type of gamble. As far as the Greek thing, wasn't Dukakis Greek? I can't think of anything more insulting than taking the blame for his existance/political career. #49 - Posted by: Jenno on August 2, 2004 04:46 PMlol @ Josh & Jolly Roger for doing the math for their locations. Begs the question. What's the difference between a 50 dollar lapdance, and a 20 dollar one? #50 - Posted by: krakatoa on August 2, 2004 04:47 PMJosh and Jolly Roger: As a capitalist, I have to point out that you may both be right. The $/lap-dance will improve with capital investment, e.g. various implants and suckings out of unwanted material. Of course, there are no guarantees in the free market system, but if she is diligent and follows good customer service practices with a smile on her face, there's no reason she can't recoup her investments very quickly. #51 - Posted by: Paul on August 2, 2004 04:49 PMFrnak! Say it ain't so.... "Gambling results so far: Down $3650.85" Unbelievable, did you bet the blog too? I am so astonished..... I hope you learned your lesson, young man. #52 - Posted by: Joshua on August 2, 2004 05:13 PMFor 50 bucks you get more knee action. (or so I am told). #53 - Posted by: Josh on August 2, 2004 05:26 PMCarl, My vote is for longstrongandright.us Don't do Ian any favors, I already cater to him enough, he's my biggest customer...er..visitor. #54 - Posted by: Joshua on August 2, 2004 05:42 PM"Begs the question. What's the difference between a 50 dollar lapdance, and a 20 dollar one?" Suviners...a little something..... To remember them by. #55 - Posted by: Joshua on August 2, 2004 05:44 PMThanks for the vote Joshua, it seems to be my favorite also. I already had enough of him (Ian the Red)on this blog. I can't stand when people ignore fact, cause they choose to. #56 - Posted by: Carl P on August 2, 2004 05:45 PM"Gambling results so far: Down $3650.85" Holy Shnikey! Almost makes me wanna say "who's the frickin' retard now?!" But I won't. ;-) #57 - Posted by: on August 2, 2004 06:16 PMAnd don't forget, that's also 3650 1/2 dollar buffets. You may want to keep this site handy. #58 - Posted by: Protagonist on August 2, 2004 06:24 PMPlease tell me that's a typo! I hope you stole 3,000 ashtrays. and the towels. and sheets, and lamps, and TV, and... Oh, well. At least you still have us. Frank. Frank? Frank? Ooooh. He's starting to cry. I um. have to. um go . Now.
Frank.... You are SO Busted when SarahK and SoccerMom find out! No Snickers Brownies for you. Off to bed without your supper. #60 - Posted by: Imperial Lamplighter: LC Jack Deth on August 2, 2004 06:55 PMwhat's all this talk of lap dances for Frank?? bad!! no no!! i'd rather he lost it playing craps in my honor. #61 - Posted by: sarahk on August 2, 2004 07:38 PMWolf's Dawn... The mystery word is "Juane" Now, say it out loud, and a big yellow duck comes down. And any Frenchperson in the room will promptly surrender to the duck. Why slur Greeks when you can slur the French? Could you call Geeks "Balkan French"? Tom #62 - Posted by: Tom on August 2, 2004 07:44 PMhaha, i just got that you said y'all. that's so cute. #63 - Posted by: sarahk on August 2, 2004 07:47 PMHe's never done THAT before! That IS cute. #64 - Posted by: jonag on August 2, 2004 09:08 PMThanks, Tom. Figures it's a pansy word. #65 - Posted by: Wolf's Dawn on August 2, 2004 10:38 PMCarl: I too am an Ian. In regards to your blog's URL, I repectfully request that you either be more specific as to which Ian you are referring, or drop the reference altogether so as to avoid casting the dispersion too wide. Thank you, Dearest Frank: I believe the term "Greek" is insulting enough, on its own. Danjo Post a comment
