This blog post is going to mostly be a collection of stories and observations made throughout the trip with a smattering of a few of Friday's events. First off: Las Vegas. As in Las Vegas, the television show. Before moving out here, I had never even caught a glimpse of this elusive show. I had heard rumors of its existence but it wasn't until we caught TNT at 10am Pacific Time that these rumors were confirmed. How convenient. I felt like Xibit was going to show up and say, "Yo dawg, we heard you like Las Vegas..." In addition to Las Vegas,one of the Twilight movies came on and Chris and Jed began watching in earnest. But I'm the gay one...anyway, it was at this point that Jed revealed one of the vampire chics is in his "top 5" list of women he would sleep with. Joining this undead fox is Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, a witch. Jed apparently takes the phrase "fantasize" quite literally.
Friday was pretty groovy. We went to the Hard Rock so that Chris and Jed could collect their winnings and we could throw down on the Saturday fights. After that, Jed pitched the idea that we should go see some shows. A quick trip to the Excalibur for their advertised show special and the three of us locked up tickets for Criss Angel later that night as well as The Tournament of Kings on Sunday. Criss Angel was quite the illusionist. He made an entertaining show appear where a pompous tool was standing. After the show, we decided to hit the tables. We ventured over to New York, New York in search of some elusive $5 blackjack tables. Unfortunately, all of the tables were full so we sat down at a $10 table and bought some chips. Things started off well for me...first hand was a blackjack. Long story short, I walked away with double my initial investment while Jed and Chris broke even. New York, New York was quite fun. To finish this post, I would like to share a story. Some time ago, Jed, our mutual friend Marty, and myself were watching TV when a commercial for Golden Corral came on...a commercial featuring the exhuberant excess that is the Chocolate Wonderfall. In this commercial it is advertised that one may dip anything they fancy into the rich river of liquid deliciousness. At this point, we looked at each other and, being guys, said "anything?" We quickly constructed a scenario in which some lonely fellow gingerly submerges his nether region into the Wonderfall and, when approached by whichever manager is unlucky enough to be on duty for this event, angrily shakes his fist and mutters, "You said anything." From this scene we quickly adopted the phrase, "chocolate on the dick" to be used in lieu of "icing on the cake." I am sure we can all agree that our new turn of phrase provides an added level of humor without sacrficing the intended message. Today (Saturday) is going to be awesome as we have 10 fights to watch and lots of money on the line. Until next time, don't be afraid to drop trow at the Golden Corral...metaphorically speaking ;)
