Gripe: Playing VP at the bar

**lojo** · 22nd September 2007, 08:36 PM

Maybe Venetian could add some t-shirts to the product line... could be as simple as 'Leave me alone'
Any ideas for something to the point but not funny enough to start a conversation?

I don't dress like a floozy, hell, I don't even wear makeup half the time when gambling, so don't think I'm on the prowl just because I'm sitting at the damned bar playing VP and sipping coffee or a coke.

Alright, the next time I see a rodent with a blond wig sitting on a piece of cheese playing VP, I will leave her alone.

$1175 gone down the drain and the smile quickly faded.

Did you at least punch him in the face?

Maybe a twist on a Garbo quote on the back of a Tshirt: I vant to play alone.

Would of broken my knuckles if I did that.
Instead I fractured my toe from kicking the counter so hard. Figured I don't play the machines with my feet so all is good

Come to think of it, I've only had to knee a man in his pecan only once.
I think that seeing a grown man crumple so quickly to the floor like that shocked me into never doing it again.
But you know what they say...Never say NEVER

The circumstances would really have to be drastic or life-threatening.
I should of poked the guy at the casino in the eyeballs and poured his drink down his pants

OMG! I love that idea! I am planning on putting out a line of t-shirts with my logo on it. Tell me what you think....Cute, fitted, v neck, a long t and right about on the butt...the logo. Tell me that is not way cute! I'll try to upload a decent picture, if it doesn't work go to the website and tell me what you think.

Now that would be a conversation starter

ahhhh how I can relate. I honestly think that casino's are getting just as bad as bars. I had to dump a drink on a guy once because he wouldn't leave me alone - followed me around the building for about 15 minutes when I'd had enough. He basically told me that because he had "bought me a drink, I owed him". I told him all I owed him was my knee crushing his nuts and poured away. Thanks for the drink buddy, hope it cooled you off. lol.

I also get a lot of little old ladies talking up a storm - I think I wear a sign that screams "please, talk to me, bother me with your problems!". Doesn't matter where I am, casino, Walmart, hairdresser... get's rather annoying.

They're probably just chatting you up to get a chance with your imaginary friend

edit:hmmm, maybe that would put them off, just start talking to alfie or some other invisible... but don't do the turetts thing, it turns some guys on.

I am a very positive person, and when you gamble I think you should keep in a positive mindframe. What bugs the hell out of me are the people that sit next to you and tell you "I haven't won anything all day" or when they get a bonus round they say "I bet I get a dollar". I have been looking at them and saying " with that attitiude you won't win anything" That usually shuts them up.
