OK so to anyone from 'back home' reading this beware!
And this is by no means Craps or Casino related!
Read on if you dare...
S has had a new friend here in Vegas for a few months now who slightly reminds me of KW, a tall and slightly heavy-set friend he has back home. For a while I kept getting over it, just accepting that there's more than one tall an slightly heavy set guys out there. But he does remind me of KW a lot!
Then I met a few more of S new Vegas friends, most all are younger than even I. Nothing weird there besides the age difference.
Last night we were picking up the KW look alike from the airport and then another friend I had never met and going out to dinner at an Indiana style farm food joint, Hash House a go-go.
We get to the destination where picking up the other friend, driving a full size pick up, he gets out of the truck and walks around to get into ours, I blurt out "F*&$! Do you have Carbon Copies of all your friends from back home?!" He's tall, with an average guy build, clean cut early 30's. it's the Carbon Copy of RS! It doesn't stop there... S says before this guy gets in the car, "wait until you hear him talk."
He steps into the car and says "What's up, man?" to the KW copy. I nearly died laughing immediately! He even has the same manner of speaking AND a similar voice to RS!
The CC's are in the back seat commenting and laughing that I'm so entertained with them, and all they had to do was show up!
A few minutes later I question S who his new VR was? He replied that "No one can CC him!"
I interjected that all he needed to be was a shorter toe-headed spaz...
But I still can't get over the likenesses! It's surely a compliment to both originals and CCs!
My head was going to explode! Still might - esp if a VR CC shows up in the scene!
I'm just glad there's no CC of me, I came with him out here, so no facsimile required, right?!

Putrid Yesterday!
I only worked about 2 hr yesterday. I don't usually go home so early but I was ill feeling.
We had a dead game, T was on floor/box, G was on the other base. we were all talking and suddenly T flees the area. Then it begins to linger into my breathing air! OH MY GAWD, I yell and nearly gagged! I turned and pointed at T "How could you do that to us?!"
But she remarked... "I didn't do it, I smelled and that's why I left!"
I heard G snickering and knew it was him immediately thereafter! I couldn't handle it i put my sleeve over my face until I was tapped out... I told him he's supposed to turn his arse out away from the pit, LOL.
He exclaimed that he did but the draft brought it back in!! It was hilarious and gross at the same time!
I stated I did not want to know what he ate the night before!

OK, back in the habbit I hope!
Today was my friday. I'm pooped, I dont usually work 8 hr days if i can help it. I'm spoiled I guess.
Our company holiday party started today, they go for 22 hours, so all shifts have a chance to go before during or after shift. I got to go during. Shrimp Cocktail and Crab Legs were my choice eats, the masseurs and live music wasn't in yet, as i was only there at 7:20-8am (the whole deal opened up at 6am). Lots of pretty eats but i went with faves and loaded up!
The dice crew got shifted around all day with stand ins while we went to eat. The guy who is still learning got put on, i think it was his 3rd day ever, not even consecutive. well he doesn't get it yet- the dice dealer attitude. he's so hunky dory in life anyway. So anyway here's the deal.
12 was rolling a lot and some how someone said something about the 'get rich quick' scams. I say "yea, D (the newbie who also has a offshoot of the soap cult - amway - business) knows all about that."
D replies, "there's nothing quick about it!"
I knocked him one with saying "well obviously, you're supplementing your income with by working here!" And I thought it was funny.
Dice dealers give each other shit all the time! But he took it way too personal and his lil amway selling feelings got hurt "That's not very funny you know!"
But i thought it was! Then he stopped paying me any attention, not asking for help, or even making eye contact w/ me! No skin off my back - he can make mistakes and not learn all damn day. I told my supervisor he might write a voluntary on me or some other kind of complaint, and he said to just ignore him.
When I got off work I text messaged a co-worker who was off who thinks similar thoughts of the same dumb-ass amway freak. no reply but i bet he got a laugh!

My fans miss me!
New Years Resolution number 1:
Write more blog stories!!
Yes it is true I am going to try to bring my stories to you again!
Nothing new today...
The Rodeo Finals are in town again, this year being on graveyard shift I don't see as many cowboys! I know they are there tho! I know night shift sees them when the events are done by the afternoon. They are much more cordial and generous!
So give me thru the xmas bologna and I will try to make posting a regular part of my life again!
S has picked on me for keeping my commitment on here too! he's so commited to it too, ritually reading others and writing for his own various blogs. I envy his determination, or maybe he's just autistic!
More to come!!

3-Quarter Moon, My @$$
On the way to work early this morning S noticed the moon, He thought it was full, but it was a 3-quarter moon. Usually the moon being full is a bad sign for dealers, The crazies really do come out! It seemed like a full moon today.
I hope I can remember everything I wanted to, but it is not too likely, which is why i dont post too much anymore. Maybe I need some Ginko-something or other...
First thing this morning I am waiting for my shift to start and a swing shift female dice dealer tell me of a creep on the table, I had full intention to handle that my way. But as I Tap onto the table they are coloring him up and he leaves. He returned briefly later in the day but that was just long enough for him to feel the table cold. Thank gawd as I wasn't going to put up with crap.
Then I have a 20-something black male as the only player on my side. He's an idiot. He trows the dice off a number of times and then drops F-Bombs all over the place. Finally I had enough, I said "Look, You can not be talking like that at the table, casino rules!" And he replies "Are you some kind of F-ing Innocent Princess, WTF no one can hear me!" But I correct him "I hear you and that is all that matters, Keep it up and you are out of here, got it!?" He played with out saying it out loud again until he was out of chips.
Now lets make fun of a fellow dealer, a dealer who somewhat knows what he is doing, was even helping teach a newer dice dealer. So I got a player betting Horn High Yo, Yo hits and I look at the dealer and say "Pay it" (not telling him the payout as I normally do) And he starts to cut out some non-sense amount I snapped at him "Moron! Its $25" and then the payed player laughs asking "Did you just call him a Moron?" "yup, sure did.. he knows no harm meant." Same dealer at a later time I don't know what happened now but I Called him one of S's made-up works F^%#-tard (a stumbling on words when trying to call someone an F-ing Retard). And the dealer laughed but the player next to me (same one who heard me call him a moron) snapped in and said "hey we got in trouble for saying the F word here last night!" Then I lean to the player and give him the shoosh finger and whisper "don't tell anyone (coz now I am a hypocrite)!"
Well I know that there was more, and I know there was a whole table of full moon maniacs in S's day.

Spread the Chips
This morning was entertaining at the least. This morning also started with a minor head ache.
There is only 2 people at the craps table playing, well one not really playing and both look too drunk to be upright. One of which finally walks away. I started on stick and was going to go to the dead side, but the table went to half as we discovered the 4th of the crew called in sick. So i was forced to the side with the drunk guy. For starters he did not even look old enough to drink, that could just be a sign of my getting older, eeek! But then we had to repeatedly tell him "$10 per bet" and when he did put more than one chip down anywhere, he wouldn't stack them, he would spread them out ever-so slowly and neatly. We were laughing at him and mocking him when we set up his bets. It became hysterical.
Then when my co-worker was setting up his bets in a mockery, I laughed, then i reached the hook end of the stick over to one of his stacks and spread out the whole stack asking "Oh like this?" making a mess of about $400 in green chips!
He rapidly ran out of money and left, claiming he would be back. and then the table closed. He had no chance to come back and entertain us anymore.

Pass it Around
Well this was an unusual Monday morning at the dice table... usually dead and slow on Mondays, but we kept it pumping all but about 40 minutes during the 9am hour.
Still in the early morning hours, one guy made 5 dollars worth of 1 and 2-dollar bets in the prop box, and as I set them up it began... the box-man chimes in "one change" which was incorrect. I splashed the 2 dollar bet to prove it was 5 dollar action. He shook his head and blamed his [blood pressure] drugs. I replied snappily "Yea drugs, thats what it is" as I made the motion of taking a hit from a make believe joint followed by 3rd base dealers motion toward me to pass it. Box-man busts up laughing. I do pass the pretend joint on to him he takes his pretend hit and some how it ended up getting passed and hit off all around the 3rd base side then back to me, Then I passed it to the box-man who turned it down, saying "I haven't done that stuff in 25 years!" So the 2nd base dealer snatched it and took a double hit telling us all that was how to do it, then we all busted out laughing, players, dealers and all.
Then we laughed that surveillance was probably wondering what the heck was going on. And then the Box-man said "or they are wishing they were in on the pass-around!"
