lol That was my first thought when I read that. It's pretty bad when you think about someone's name and think about bad odor at the same time, even on the freaking internet. Eskimo Clark is famous for that. I've seen him at Commerce before. I say I saw him, not smelled him. I was on the rail, I guess it didn't travel that far.

Come to think of it, Tuna wasn't real big on hygiene either. He ouwld wear the same clothes for a week, food stains and all. I don't know if he ever got pitched for it.

We've been telling the bad side of Tuna here. But im fairness heres another Tuna story. He fell hard for a crackhead Mississippi gamblin' girl back in the nineties. They had a couple of kids. They wound up divorced but Tuna paid for her rehabilitation. He quit the poker tournament circuit to raise the two kids. He was a dedicated father.

I was talking with my friend Al this evening. He told me this Tuna story. It was one of those times the Pepp in Reno put the dollar FPDW back in. Al was banging away and here comes Tuna and one of his employee's. Tuna knew not to dominate in the Pepp. The suits wouldn't tolerate it.

So Tuna and his employee are banging away and Al can hear everything that is being said. Here comes the cocktail waitress. They order a couple of drinks. When the drinks got delivered Tuns says to him emplyee "You got a quarter? I don't have any change on me." The guy hands Tuna a quarter and Tuna throws it up on the waitress's trey.

Some time later the cocktail waitress comes buy again asking if anyone wants drinks but she ignores Tuna and his employee. As she is walking away Tuna yells "Hey, we need the same setup we had last time."
When she delivered the drinks Tuna said "I'll catch you next time. I don't have any change."

About an hour later Tuna's employee hits a royal. The floorperson counted the hundreds one at a time as she layed them in his hand. But the last $100 was in twenties. The employee grabbed a twenty and went to hand it to the floor person who had her hand stuck out to receive the money. Faster than greased lighting Tuna grabbed the twenty, then reached in his pocket, pulled out a five dollar bill and hand it to her.

Oh, so you want the truth?, er, proof? I'll just have to call my good buddy, aaahhh what's his name? Anyways's he'll definitely deliver the undeniable truth to you. But he won't give you any proof.

WIth all due respect, sir....Do you really think I give a rat's ass what you believe?

I have a correction to my Mickey inspired Tuna addition to my New Years Poem. I noticed the one I had added earlier, did not match the format of the rest of the poem.

Soon the bank was locked up, only one seat was live,
Played by a tourist, who didn't rate to survive.
Had Tuna seen fit to deem to been there,
He'd have bellowed and blustered and shouted, "unfair"
If no one now seated will give up their seat,
then to theses peasants and rabble, I say, "no one gets meat"
For my delicate ego and sanity's sake,
Through them all off the bank, and "let them eat cake".

I would encourage others to write their own verses and we can expand the poem.

Scot, I would suggest verifying Terrible's Casino bonus point days starting
in January. There is no mention of multipliers in their latest mailer. I
got a postcard from them stating that based on my play, I would get 3X
points on "most video poker machines" on selected days in January.

[vpFREE] Re: Twas The Night Before New Years

 



We have a skeptic in our midst. First, let me say I advocate skepticism strongly. My Father used to say, "believe only half of what you see and none of what your hear." I took it to heart. I can hardly fault you for being like me.

Here though, your doubt is misplaced. We don't want your money and we aren't trying to sell you anything.

I don't know Mickey personally, and in fact I was totally separate from the independent pros that he hung with. We were not friends, if anything we were enemies. So consider me as outside a source as you can get.

I can confirm almost everything he has said, in every post he has ever made. And the ones I have no knowledge of, still ring true to the best of my own personal experience.

I could have half a dozen pros I know confirm all my stories, not the least of which would be Bob Dancer, Jean Scott, and Dan Paymar. The three major authors in the VP biz today.

But other than a large number of independent conformations from multiple sources, how does one really prove anything that happens to them in the course of a normal day...unless they are on a reality TV show.

Look, here's the real truth of it, far too many outrageous things happen in the world of pro gambling, on a nearly daily basis, to necessitate making up anything. The truth is interesting enough.

If you would still like proof of a particular story, let me know and I'll have some of the other witnesses email you. Really though you should reserve your skepticism for campaign promises and that your car's insurance policy will actually cover anything that breaks regularly.
