Top Ten Things About Being in Vegas

by Dave on Jul 20, 2008 2:03 PM PDT

As we prepare to leave the city of Brotherly Swindling it seemed appropriate to run down the Top Ten things about being in Las Vegas for a week for Summer League.

10. The Strip at midnight looks like a Hooters exploded.

9. Enjoying people from all ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, and social classes massacre "Bust a Move" on karaoke.

8. Discovering Ben Golliver smells vaguely like Peach Schnapps.

7. Where else can you find Bingo at 3 a.m.?

6. Sure-Fire Bar Bet: Pronounce "Petteri Koponen"

5. Making a fortune betting the "over" on Jerryd Bayless' free throw attempts.

4. $6.99 chicken strip dinner, anytime, anywhere.

3. After ten minutes in the trunk your plain, ordinary deodorant becomes fancy gel deodorant!

2. Hearing Finnish guys ask repeatedly, "How much must I tip this person?"

1. Multiple Elvii!

The last time I was in Vegas I remember a Stripper named Peaches

So that makes sense about Ben.

BTW what does Schnapps mean?

Thanks for doing this for us, Dave. I hope you've enjoyed your time in Vegas.

It’s been fun having first-hand reports from both you and Ben.

Congratulations, Dave

10 is a classic … and as I recall, very true.

In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.

Thanks Dave and Ben

My real mom used to live in Henderson and she’s a ~~huge~~ big time slut. She took me to see a show when I was visiting a few years ago, and at the time she was pushing 50. She wore hooker hight heels and a really short, low cut dress to show off her fake cans. I honestly felt like I was walking down the strip with a hooker. Guys were whistling and yelling at her as they drove by. She loved it. I’ve lived the dream life.

Have any of you read the book My Mom the Slut by Judy Blume?
