Dude, just admit that it is a mid-life crisis, same as mine, same as others, and go with the flow.

Indeed. I don't even care that she would break me just because she can. Her new album is getting lots of airplay on Left of Center (the hipster/college/indie/Flower channel on Sirius). Good stuff.

I've got to hear it all. Is it mostly slow, like the 1 or 2 I've heard so far, or with some more volume like Criminal?

[TRUE STORY] In my youth, when I was younger, HS, to be specific, a teen gathering place in the summer for kegs and marijawanna and adolescent sexxxing, was a remote boat landing on a certain lake. In the parking lot there was a Honey Bucket aka Porto-Potty. One night a friend of mine was in it, doing her business, sts, when a drunken rabble rouser mistakenly rammed his 4 x 4 into it. The Honey Bucket flipped over landing with the door side on the ground, trapping the young lass. With the HB turned over on its side the honeylike contents of the bucket thereupon emptied themselves on the trapped girl. Eventually others re-righted the Bucket and the drenched schoolgirl emerged. I would posit that is being stuck in a shithole. [/TRUE STORY]

I clerked in Charleston, WV.

My progression on the typical Vegas night is usually from blackjack tables to free buffet to paigow poker. Screw 4 hour dinners and clubs.

We should totally go to Vegas sometime and hit the paigow. I hate the four hour dinners when I could be money making.

The best part about playing lots of paigow is getting to learn when it is and is not appropriate to use "paigow" (with the Chinese inflection, natch) as an interjection in every day life.

For example:

Jamie Martin throws his third interception in four plays, leading to yet another Colts score, thus blowing a sure Rams cover. "Paigow!"

Or

Brad Lidge walks to the mound

Or

You're having drunk sex with a too-slutty stranger you met in a club, and the condom falls off. Definitely "paigow!"

FALLS OFF? How does that happen? It has never happened to me. Ever. Breaks? Yes. Is sort of pulled off over the course of a few strokes? Yes. Falling off? No.

The game is actually Pai Gow Poker.

Weekend of December 16-18. Room rates are cheap. Mr Man and I are there (either at Bellagio or Venetian - there is a blackjack tournament that we might do at Venetian which would result in a free room there or some such thing; otherwise Bellagio). We are running late for our quarterly Vegas trip, so that is the date.

What's the house advantage in Pai Gow? I'm generally a blackjack/craps guy, and I have no clue how to play pai gow. Any reason I should learn?

Fuck, now I really wanna go to Vegas.

Well, there is a game Pai Gow as well (tile game; only ever see eldery Asian women playing it), but I would guess he means Pai Gow Poker. That is what I play. Great fun.

Does Vegas get all christmased-up in December? That might weird me out a bit.

What does one need to do to get the free room thingy?

I was looking for the picture of my son wearing an outfit that said, in "fortune cookie" font,

"A surprise will soon appear in my pants."

But I couldn't find it.

And I can't upload photos to this site anyway. What's up with that?

My personal K should have been more interesting than this, but I just ain't that inspired today.

You could have gone for the "no professional sports" in Phoenix barb, but you blew it. No Baseball, No football and barely any basketball this year, what with the injuries and all. Blewit.
