I think I actually got in a couple of words other than "well, whattaya gonna do?" (my go to line when involved with crazy people).

One was "Conor McGregor, like, the UFC fighter?".

Another was "Bernie Pascall, like the local 80's sportscaster? Did you mean Tony Parsons the old news anchor?". He just kept trucking on with the story.

He slowed down his cart so he could continue his conversation out the door. His last line of "she tried to commit suicide" was half yelled across the parking lot as I was getting onto my bicycle and waving "alright then, take'r easy".

thats my top go to line!!

also

"welp, there you go"

and

'it is what it is"

the best part is you can do add ons (or what some in the biz call extensions) if they are weraring xtra large clown shoes

ie - an emphatic "tell me im wrong"

which can be further extended with "jus sayin" or subbed with jus sayin followed by tell me im wrong

the permeutations can keep you well entertained seeing how many variants you can sneek in while listening to pure nonsense.

I don't say How's it going? to randoms in interaction.
"How's it going?" is basically just a cordial "hi" and doesnt need an answer, but some people take it Very literally as you found out gobbledygeek.

If you're going to say anything, I'd recommend talking about the weather.

Yesterday, went to the funeral for our former bar-league player. Quite a few in attendance to pay respects.Never been to a Catholic funeral. It's kind of a workout: up and down, up and down. There's also a lot of statement (from the priest) and response (from the crowd). Seemed like a lot of formal ceremonies.Not being a religious person, I don't get all that, but I think

They did. It went surprisingly quickly--maybe 10-15 minutes. The guy said you had to be a Catholic in good standing to get communion, but if you wanted a blessing, come up with your arms crossed to you don't get and free bread and wine (I guess). Didn't notice anyone taking that option, but didn't pay attention either.Then went to try a BBQ place I'd heard good things about

Yeah they don't check your certificate but by the book heaths are supposed to take the pledge before accepting wafers.

For Ash Wednesday I walked into a mass in California that was standing room only, meaning in Spanish. The website was wrong as they often are in the boondocks. Oh well, at least I'm exempt from kneeling or so I thought until the time came when all the abuelas planted their knees right down on the tile floor.

I am not surprised-and still the **** regs or "Aspberger backpack pros"as Limon calls them is wondering why most of the fish/whales is long gone to private games.

Its truly sad what the public Vegas games have become.

The 'culture' of Las Vegas has always been a rock garden waiting on a tourist. Just from 2002 - ? there were an exceptional large number of tourists who played and maybe learned on tv

I hear what you say.


Had a memorial tournament/fundraiser for our friend and player I mentioned earlier. 112 players across 10 tables.

Lots of interesting things donated for a silent auction as well. It was a great time.

Did manage to deal an AA vs KK vs AK suited hand for piles relatively late, which catapulted Tim to the FT. (Aces flopped a set). Good for him, he's a good guy.

When I left, the final table still had ~8 players. Talked to the person keeping the money. She told me there would still be the business of closing the venmo/paypal/whatever for some of the auction stuff, and they had to settle with the owner of the place for the buffet he put out. At that point, through the generosity of our players and dealers, we'd raised over $8300 for the family plus the auction money.

Often, the people who cash will donate back their winnings. I wouldn't be surprised if we're pushing $9K for them.

While tiring (dealt a high-top table, so essentially on my feet from ~10AM to 6PM--too old for that), I was proud to be a small part of getting that accomplished.

I'm thinking of perhaps going with:

"Hi. END STOP." *puts up stop sign hand* Too rude?

"Hi. /THREAD." *makes slash motion with hand* For the younger kids?

"Hi. RAWARR!" *makes growling noise with raised claw hands* Obviously not with potential cougars but everyone else ok?

i'm sorry for your loss and while i think this is a real sweet thing you guys did for his family - it bothers me to no end that our society is so broken we need gofundme every time there's a medical issue or funeral and i don't think enough is being done because nobody is willing to talk about that because whenever it comes up it's a sensitive subject and we're trying to focus on the positive


What if someone started a gofundeveryone?
Would that help?


Isn't that what taxes are for


I'm going to start a GoFundMe to start a GoFundEveryone.

Maybe I should start a preemptive gofundme? "Hey, I'm almost certain to eventually get cancer. I spent a lot of time in the sun without sunscreen. I smoked for a lot of years and I eat like ****. Please send me money for my future doctor expenses". TIA
