Friday Afternoon Update

Hey gang...

I wish I would've posted earlier, for those of you stuck in your offices today, but my schedule is opposite of the rest of the world's, so I have to sleep sometime.

I was going to post my NFL picks first thing today, but I drove off to work last night without my wallet, so I'm unable to.

Dear Mikey,

What the hell are you talking about?

--Sincerely, Your Readers

Well, in order to make my picks 'official' in the Great Giveaway contest, I have to swipe my players card in the little pick-machine atm thingy in the sportsbook. But since I forgot to take my wallet, I had no card, and as such, was unable to swipe my card or make any bets. Now, I *did* make some picks already for this week's NFL games, but they had 9-5 written all over them, so I'm going to revisit them again this afternoon, make them official tonight, and post them tomorrow.

I must've been in a daze last night (after all, it was my Monday Morning). And because I wasn't operating at 100% capacity, I found out the hard way that the public restrooms next to Club Madrid in our casino are set up opposite of every other set of restrooms in the entire casino. Everywhere else, the mens room in on the left. Not so, next to Club M.

Whoops.

That would explain the lack of urinals.

Anyhow...

In addition to my absent-mindedness, I was sitting on a dead Pai-Gow game around 8:15, having just opened it, waiting for my first players to show up. Well, the first guy to show up didn't want to play, but wanted me to explain to him how to play craps.

Oh yeah, that'll happen.

I mean, whenever I have a question about baccarat, I always ask the guy standing behind the roulette wheel...

Actually, I wasn't too sarcastic, and gave him a few pointers, the most useful of which was something along the lines of You might want to ask the dice dealers to show you...

But the floor supervisor was watching from a distance, and after the guy stumbled off to the dice pit, asked me Did that guy just come over here asking how to play dice?

I answered in the affirmative, followed by the floorman walking away and shaking his head in disbelief.

There wasn't a full moon last night, was there?

And speaking of which, I've got a lefty moonbat in my inbox that I need to send a proper smackdown to. I'm amazed that some people can make it through life being such asshats.

Just a piece of advice--if you disagree with something I say, your argument would carry more weight if you don't start out with an insult. Otherwise you just sound like an uninformed moron with an axe to grind.
