this is when i find out it was illegal for me to move to california

I sense a story....

hometown

ahhh. any vegas stories to share with greg and I?

growing up there is just like any other town im sorry to report lol, best I can do probably is tell that seigfried and roy went to my church and I have a photo of me with one of their baby lions when I was a toddler.

that sounds adorable! and I need to see that picture someday non-americans probably assume everyone in vegas is an Elvis impersonator or related to one. kind of like how everyone in the UK is assumed to know royalty

my Mom was too young to see Elvis when he was in residence, but there was a house by my high school that Elvis allegedly was looking at the be Graceland before Nashville. They filmed scenes from the movie casino in my classroom and the neighborhood around my elementary school. That was pretty cool

that *is* a cool story 😍

Ron Howard's racist tour-de-force comedy "Gung Ho" was filmed in my hometown. I was an extra. I accidentally punched Opie in the shoulder. I walked Mimi Rogers back to her trailer. I have stood proudly on the gazebo the crew built in one of our nice little parks.

And by by Nashville I mean Memphis. jeeze fk get it together

I didn’t mean to high jack your thread, I just wanted to announce that something that happened in Vegas broke containment

oh don't worry. I see it as karma. Greg and I are regularly rude and hijack other people's threads 😂 mostly because he keeps chasing me to bed 😜

👀

yeah but you shared your vacation diarrhea story, felt like i should share mine

oh I was happy for you to share your story. I was thinking more that what you ATE should have stayed in vegas but I guess it went with the plane to your next destination. fun trading shitty stories!

ah! yeah, fortunately the flight was late in the day and i was mostly done by the time i had to board. pretty annoying to be stuck in the bathroom all day while my friends were out having fun, though

that is almost the worst part isn't it, missing out on everything else. I was bummed because I love exotic foods and I missed out on two days of potentially amazing food (or potentially amazing poisons)

two days, aw! i guess i’ll count my blessings that it was on the last day and all the big events had happened. they were just gambling i think, which isn’t really my cuppa anyway

you're not a gambler? then what was the deal with betting pools on my sleep pattern, hmmmm?

that was to allow other people to gamble! i’ve dabbled but have very low risk tolerance. i did win a bunch of money from my friends and family playing poker this weekend though, mwahaha

how high were the stakes? like buy-a-new-boat winnings? or buy-a-taco ?

$20 cash game. i went out once and bought back in, then just about cleaned everyone out. i think it was $120 in total, so quite a few tacos

and chocolate pretzels
