From what I have been hearing at work the place was jammed packed today. The information that I got was they were 4 deep behind every slot machine. So 4 people were waiting for some to eirther go broke or cash out so they could grab their machine.
Those old ladies must have been waitng with binoculars for the place to open today.
Who says that Western New York is broke. In a way they have pulled off a great move. Open the casino to a thunderous stampead and the citizens will DEMAND to keep it open no matter what the courts rule.
(e:joshua) I have been rich people drop in this place in 4 hours what I will probally make in 10 years. You don't have to be poor to be devastated by gambling, just look at Mike Pellegrino. Just because you have a million dollar bankroll does not make you immune to having it all crash down.

Buffalo Creek Casino Open!!!!Category: work
Damn, That was a bit of a sneak attack.
That is defiantly how they roll where I "work"*. They just do whatever the F they want. Judge, Pending Lawsuits, We just don't care, try to stop us, it's native land.
I liked the part about,
No matter what they say about Western New York there still is a bunch of older people sitting on a pile of cash that NEED gambling action. The casino will be a success just because there is still such a demand for it. Now the elderly in the Southtowns and Cheektowaga
have a closer option.
I wonder what Artvoice is going to say now?

I liked the part about,
"In a possible sign of things to come, an armored car pulled up in front of the casino, just as a group of older women pulled to the curb and asked if they could start gambling."

I just read that article a few minutes before I came onto (e:strip) . I'm not really sure how I feal about it. But that being said I think it will be iteresting to see Artvoices coverage of it. I also wonder how the different local news teams will cover it or if they will at all.

We're on it. I read your post and immediately chatted the editor. He said he's already got the bat-signal out.
(e:jason) - I'm offering an over/under of 33%. There's no way he's going to waste words boring our readers rehashing the party line about social ills when he could be boring our readers with arcane legal technicalities.

"I wonder what Artvoice is going to say now?"
Oh, I've got their line down. It goes something like "Gambling affects only the POOR, and the POOR suffer MOST! snifflez"

WTF???Category: going out
I finally have some free time to myself and I decide to head out with my friend Billy Bob last night. He usually drives but tonight since I have decided to be a vegetarian and abstain from drinking for the month of June I drove.
We ended up at the Pink and for a night with me only drinking 2 Red Bulls I just couldn't believe how the night turned out for the weird. Bill was observing some drunk dude constantly hitting on some chick and her friend being a good friend "Cock Blocking." Well drunk dude just didn't get it and kept on hitting on her even after her friend was ultra direct and kept on yelling at him to go away.
Last call comes around and good friend's boyfriend & brother come around and things get pretty heated. I did find the whole episode quite amusing since reading the last (e:vycious) post about women. Watching this dude just persistently fire away at this chick was really an interesting demonstration on fortitude I suppose. It almost seems that sometimes if you just focus on playing the game to win, you make you own luck and you do score. For as much as we think societal rules apply there are women out there that are just of weak will and low self esteem that will fall for some guy that just keeps coming at them. I guess it fulfills some fantasy on "Wanting a guy that is willing to Fight for Them."
Needles to say drunk guy, Good Friend BF and drunk ass bro all blow up at once. Somehow Billy Bob gets shit from someone and all I'm thinking is, "I'm more than sober and in a minute I'm going to be throwing punches @ all places The Pink for something that I was not involved with and with people of whom I don't know!" In the end end GF BF exonerates us by telling his drunk ass brother that, "they're good people and just buddies." Billy Bob just laughs it off and says that drunk guy is just like his brother Dave when he drinks. The type that just get pissed and and look for a fight at any drop of a hat.
Situation averted; YEAH!

Booh YeaCategory: apple
1st post using a Mac and Safari
Finally figured out how to change over my Road Runner connection from a UBS plug in to a Ethernet :-/ Only from calling the AppleCare guys this morning I was informed of the BAD conseqnences of trying to connect using a UBS connection.
Other than that WOW life is much more fun of this side of the Hardware universe. All except for I still dislike the standard Apple mouse and will immediately look for a replacement.

14 buttons??!! I can barely handle 2. It's the scroll ball that I've come to not be able to live without.

I use a standard 14 button USB mouse with my iMac. I don't know how people use the Apple mouse. Even the mighty mouse is a little strange to use.

Celebrity Fit Club M v. WThanksfully the season is almost over but I think I woulld have been hooked just by Screech. I am a bit embarassed to say I can totally relate to the guy. The wanting to do his own thing, the being intelligent but coming off as a smart alec smartass, the elusive communication, the "finding peace" thing and last but not least popping Zantrex 3 to lose 5 pounds.
I also have to say that Maureen McCormick (Marsha Brady) is still pretty Damn Hot. If I didn't know better I would have though she was at the most in her early 30's.

The first time I had seen Dustin Diamond since Saved By the Bell was on the cover of a chess magazine. It was sad and funny at the same time.
The next time I heard from the man was about a year ago when an adult video was circulating in the internet tubes in which he gave a girl a dirty sanchez.

Interesting - I don't recall leaving you a comment. I think my brother must have done so when I was logged on.
Kinda shows you that all the posing and suits and whatnot were a load of crapola. City and County made a deal, a shitty deal, which they didn't realize till it was too late. They need to man up and leave the Senecas alone because nobody forced a gun to their heads to sign with the Senecas. Hell, the Senecas are willing to spend to develop in an area where nothing has happened, so Giambra, et al really need to shut the fuck up and let the "Good times" roll.
