Smilin Bob will live on.........
He went to prison for mail fraud and credit card fraud because he gave away Enzyte for free with a credit card number. But then he would charge you automatically for a new package every month.......and apparently you couldn't cancel........kind of like a Time Life music series........ 
He is in jail, I think I heard on the radio that his mother had taken over the company..........but she sold it.

The Gold Coast excels in each of these categoeries. Since I'm not a night owl, I begin capping for the contests at 3:00 AM, and the bright lights there keep me from nodding off in the middle of the card.
Jimmy, the new drink policy at the Edgewater has driven away many players. Their clerks are often as grouchy as the bettors. Try the Aquarius next time.
OP, you love this game so much, but can't make a 45 minute drive? We used to make a 3 hour drive to DM, loving every minute of it. Sometimes the ride home wasn't too great, but that's life.

Believe it or not, to some of us, Christmas ( and all the days that seem to go with it ) is just another day. Hard as it may be to believe, everyone in the world doesn't celebrate Christmas....or even care about it.

Agreed. There are many people who believe in God, but not in Jesus Christ, or the New Testament. My fiance is one. We celebrate Christmas but it is not centered around Christ, but God and family, in that order. Do we think Jesus actually existed, probably. Do we think he was the son of God, nope. Are we Muslim, nope.

I made my first visit to Laughlin back in October. Played at the Riverside, and found it very 'Player Friendly'. 2.5% comps on sports book wagers, competent ticket writers (don't know what happened to the term Teller out there) and never had any problems with drinks. Only problem with Laughlin...is getting there.

Maybe you'd like to be called "Sol Invictus"? You missed my point. A gathering occurred on Christmas Eve here. It was similar to gatherings taking place worldwide. It does not matter what one believes, yet most will celebrate a Holiday this time of year, be it Christian, Jewish, and more recently, those of African Heritage have added a Holiday.

Maybe it's just me, but that sounds like something uttered at a Klan rally.

Coming from anyone else, I'd find this hard to believe. But your honesty is pretty much your hallmark. Even if brutal on occasion. I don't usually doubt you on horse selections, nor do I on this.
My immediate thought is you are working way, way, too much.
One day, when you marry and father triplets, you will care about it. Matter of fact, you and the bride will be like all parents, having drinks, up 'til 4 a.m. putting training wheels on bicycles and trying to outgame each other with Wii's, MarioKart or Monster Trucks 4X4 World Circuit.
. . . . oh, and they have horse games too. You may prefer those.

How about "created"? But "added" seems relative, as Kwanzaa has its roots in the 60's.

Couldn't agree more. To me, xmas is pure magic. The food, the giving, the recieving, the lights, the tree, the hustle, the bustle, the songs. Can't get enough and can't wait for next year.
