Issue #188
weekly
Dear Reader,
I am absolutely shocked. The editor of a leading online casino news magazine was arrested this week, thus once again tarnishing this industry's image. When will it ever end? Perhaps the stress was too much for this apparently "weak" person, and he just snapped. Whatever the case may be, he will pay a dear price - especially when I meet him in Toronto - he will answer to the outrage that this industry has for such bizarre behavior. Yes, he will pay. Don't know what I'm talking about? Well grab yo-self a Bier or a hot cup o' java, and scroll on...
Defensively yours,
Bryan

Online Casino News editor Michael Caselli was arrested for lewd conduct, shoplifting, and assault at Classy & Sassy ladies boutique in London. Apparently, he locked himself in the woman's dressing room for quite some time. Becoming suspicious, store clerks then knocked on the door asking if he was 'ok' or needed assistance. Michael Caselli was then reported to have exited the dressing room wearing high heel shoes, women's thong underwear and matching bra along with a dress wrapped around his head as a hat.
He then began to dance and skip around the store shouting "I'm a pretty princess" over and over, according to witness reports. And that was only the beginning. Read the entire Global Associated News report here.
Again this industry must suffer more negativity because of one depraved and disturbed individual. It's really sad. But never fear, this dude will pay dearly when I meet him at the GIGSE in Toronto next month. Yes that's right, girly-boy Caselli (this is what he likes his friends to call him) has challenged me to Sumo Wrestle his pansy-ass for charity. No problem. I'll take him on for free. And you my dear reader can have a vicarious experience knowing that I will kick his butt in honor of my readers and members who are offended by his despicable public activities. Michael, you will pay dearly.
I spoke with my good friend and fellow webmaster John Abbott this week, and he has agreed to split the cost of my offer. Thanks John! The cost of $18 will be split 50/50 and I propose to pay it in one lump sum. No strings attached. At the moment John and I have no plans on what to do with the site (if of course we are the top bidders), but for now I have designed a new GPWA site which you can sneak a peek here.

3. This week's humor
From the Archives:
An elderly woman was looking for a pet to be a good companion and not much trouble.
The pet store owner suggested a parrot, showed it to her and guaranteed her it would be a wonderful companion.
The woman asked if it would behave if she took it to church with her on Sundays.
The owner said it shouldn't be a problem and that she could put him on her shoulder and he would stay there.
She bought the parrot and for the next week spent time getting to know him.
Assured that he spoke properly and was well behaved, she put him on her shoulder and went off to church.
Just as everyone quieted down and the sermon began, the parrot looked around, squawked and said, "It's goddamned cold in here!"
Everyone turned to look at her and she ran out of the church in total embarrassment! All the next week, she talked to the parrot explaining the necessity to remain quiet during church.
The parrot understood so she put him on her shoulder and went to church the following Sunday.
Once again, just as everything got quiet and the sermon began,the parrot squawked, looked around and loudly proclaimed, "It's goddamned cold in here!!"
And again the woman ran from the church. The next day she returned to the pet store and explained the embarrassing situation to the owner.
Since she didn't want to get rid of the parrot, the owner offered the following solution:
If the parrot does that again, grab him by the legs and swing him around 5 or 6 times and return him to your shoulder." "That'll work?" asked the woman. "Guaranteed!" exclaimed the owner.
So, the next Sunday she took the parrot to church and, sure enough, just as the sermon started, the parrot squawked, "It's goddamned cold in here!!" Without any hesitation, the woman grabbed his legs, swung him around 5 or 6 times and placed him back on her shoulder.
The parrot shook his head, ruffled his feathers and said, "Pretty fuckin' windy, too!"

legality of proving your ID to casinos
I've recently come back to online casinos after being gone for over a year. It seems being required to fax in copies of your credit card and drivers license has become standard practice. I'm not sure this really gives you any more security than the old system. Secondly, I wonder if it is legal.
Personally, I am having trouble getting a particular casino to accept my copies -- they say they can't read the fax, despite my using photographic paper to make my copies with (very high quality). And i don't have a scanner to scan copies -- copy centers refuse to scan them for me as they say it is illegal to make such copies of your CCs and DL. I wonder if the casinos are participating in what is actually an illegal practice? Does anyone know? Or is this why most of them aren't on the mainland, so they can get away with this? |
Complaints? Kudos? Please let me know.
Peace
