Issue #166
weekly
Dear Reader,
Well, if you were wondering what happened to yesterday's newsletter, and thought that I was off diddy-daddling around on some exotic beach or that seedy nightclub in Soho; or perhaps I forgot what day it was since according to some I don't have a life since I spend most of my time holed up in my studio with my buddy Vortran007. Maybe I just plain slacked off and said the hell with it. Screw the world! If you thought this, you were wrong.
The newsletter that was nearly pitched off to you yesterday my dear ${token2}, remained on my hard drive. The lead report was a scathing one; one that dealt with high crimes of deception and scandalous activities of a major turnkey provider. As my finger lingered over the send button, a relevant email came in that seemed to turn the tables on the entire situation. The timing was perfect.
So in a nutshell, I am not staggering around in some bar, I know what day it is, I am not a slacker, and I have a life. Thank you much
Dedicatively yours,
Bryan

| WORD FROM THE MEISTER |
| NEW CASINOMEISTER MEMBER |
It's damn hard to get on Casinomeister as an advertiser. Sometimes a bit too hard as some casinos have found out. Why? Well most of you know that I require a number of conditions to be met before a casino is brought on board. It's always been this way at Casinomeister. I am also one of the few website owners who require a face to face meeting with either the operators of the casino, or their representative(s).
City Club Casino is the newest casino on the block. Powered by Playtech (which by the way I really like), they've been online since July 2001 with nary a complaint. Let's give them a warm welcome and open and account! As a new player, you have a choice of a 100% match bonus of up to $100 or a 20% bonus up to $200.
Last week, I confided to you about my dreams I had when I was a child. I expressed my nostalgic feelings about Disneyland:

Disneyland is more of a pilgrimage for me than anything else. My first visit was in 1962 when I was around three, but I remember it clearly. And as a child, my family and I visited every year or so after that. When I was a young boy, I decided if I would ever run away from home, Disneyland was to be my destination. I fantasized living on Tom Sawyer Island, and work on the Jungle Ride. I was to be a Disneylander. In love with the mermaids on the Submarine Ride I was. Disneyland was always magical to me; it served as a shield against reality. And this safety bubble lasted until I was around ten; I witnessed a woman vomit in the bushes in Tomorrowland, thus bursting my childhood reality bubble shield.

Hi Bryan:
Your story about the woman vomiting in the bushes at Disneyland is the funniest thing I've heard or read in a long time. I used to be a sweeper at Disneyland and it was my job to clean up after a "code V", which I did lots of times. It was a huge pain when people threw up in the bushes. On the ground it was easy. Hidden behind the trash can liners are bags of sawdust like bits that you sprinkle on vomit, it absorbs it, and you sweep it up. Your hands get nowhere near it. However in the bushes you had to sweep it out as best you could onto the ground and then into the pan. There was a story that one buy vomiting so much it took 8 bags to Sani-sorb bits to clean up, but I tend to doubt it.
Regards,
Mike

Thanks to you dear reader, I kicked butt last week. Kevin from Reviewed Casinos challenged me to a race to the ground, but due to a throng of well-wishers who voted for Casinomeister, hey hey! I won! What was at stake? A rack of Bavarian Bier (10 liters) of my choosing - which is about $12 worth where I live. But then it's not the $$$ or the beer (?), it's the glory in kicking ass!! Ha ha ha. Thanks everyone!
And you ready for another race? Well let's do it again and vote for me here! |

3. This week's humor
A blind man and his guide dog enter a bar and find their way to a barstool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender,
"Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke ?"
The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him says,
"Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde, and I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb.blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the woman sitting next to me is blonde and she's a weight lifter. The lady to your right is a blonde, and she's a wrestler. Think about it seriously, Mister. You still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

Look at those 20 questions from GA (
http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/20questions.html
) just to see how many you could answer yes to.
I think just from the information you've provided in this thread, you'd have to answer an
emphatic YES to #s 2,4,7,9,13 & 20 (that's 6 so far), you'd probably have to
answer yes also for #'s 6 & 14 (total of at least 8). Most of these yes answers come
from your very first post btw. And I'd bet there's probably 1 or 2 more in that list that
could be yes as well, but only you or your partner would know that for sure. I have to agree with
glodge on this one, you don't want to accept that you have a gambling problem.
Perhaps it is the first time you ever had such a compulsive episode, but that does not mean it will
be the last or only one, given the right set of circumstances. That is why it is so important that
you call Gamcare. And if
you
can't call them yourself, then have your partner call for you as she did to WH & the
telephone company.
