Interesting Tidbits from Vegas

I was in Las Vegas for the last few days and I have a couple of pertinent things to report.

1. The McRib is there.

2. I was sitting in the sports book at the Monte Carlo overhearing the conversation behind me between a WSU grad from Seattle and some idiot from LA. The guy from Seattle was pretty knowledgeable and seemed to be a solid fan (Of course). I can't say the same for that fat Angelino he was talking to however. When they began discussing the Seahawks, the guy said: "Who do you guys have at running back? Bam Morris?" Yep, this soon to be 37 year-old ex-con is toting the ball for us every Sunday.

3. They let you drink and gamble anywhere you want!

4. I ended up in a limo with a group of seven Australians. (Why I was in the limo or where it was going is not important) I told them where I was from and one of the guys, or mates as they are called in their native tongue, said:

-"Oh, you lost your basketball team huh?"
Me- "Yeah, that's a touchy subject actually, let's just move on from that one."
3rd Guy- "Should we talk about the Seahawks then?"
Me- (Trying to come up with an Australian Rules Football-related comeback)

I was pretty floored that even guys who live in Australia are giving me shit about Seattle sports. I guess it just proves that it is known the world over that we are unlucky bastards.

5. I won $140 playing blackjack. I spent $10 on a baseball bat, $10 on a shovel, and $100 on a cab ride into the desert. Then I did this to the Australians. I used the remaining $20 to buy 5 McRibs, that I easily devoured. Suck it Fortune!

Did you see/touch any giant fake breasts while in the city of sin?

Like most of Eric's posts, I dont realize its a piece of fiction until the end. You had me for awhile until you said you could get 5 Mcribs for 20 bucks. That is bullshit and by following common logic rules, you eating 5 mcribs is therefore an invalid statement.

In fact, the McRibs varied in price from $1.99 - $2.29 depending on which hotel you were in. So I actually had some money to spare after the five.
And Finn, well, I got 2 words for ya! Yes and yes.

Pics?

Erik said...

No. I'm sorry.

I guess we are just supposed to take your word for it? McRibs and Titties

I think I just came up with SEAN's debut live album title. "McRibs and Titties, Life on the Road"

Mr. F said...

That's brilliant! But can I suggest just a little change?

"McRib, Titties, Flat Tires and Foamy Sweat Pants: Life on the Road"

Platinum.

Hey Finn and Sean (shit pants)...Speaking of Mcribs and Titties...how is the weight loss bet going, fatties?

Mr. F said...

This can not be confirmed at this time. A weight loss challenge has been rumored, but the competitors may or may not be Fortune and f.i.n.n.

Weight (get it?) and see...

jimi said...

two dudes doing a weight loss challenge together? Perhaps "McRibs and Cocks, Life on the Road Suckin and Fuckin" would be a better title for that album.

Mr. F said...

So... Did you want in, or something?
