Which incidentally is exactly what V is. He gave up problem drinking for a different drug.
They COULD legalize Marijuana Country wide for recreational use but I have a feeling it will be marked up as hell like $50 for a single gram of marijuana. :eek:Quote:

Glad that there're no judges on here. Judges are like 4.2-year-olds. Ha.

Sorry to hear about the arthritis. I've heard that humid climates make that worse. Ever thought about relocating to Arizona?Quote:

I don't know about that, but there are 49 Walgreens locations in Arizona. Also a decent number of casinos and bingo halls in AZ as well. You never know, a fresh start and a change of scenery might be just the thing to get Tasha out of her mid-life funk.Quote:

Review show 2 of 2025 Dead and Company at the Sphere
Wow. What a show. I absolutely love new songs adding to their vast repotoir. Lay Down Sally of all songs. An Eric Clapton radio hit from 1977. No real jamming , just kind went straight forward with the song. New material is very much appreciated as long as it's not a Mayer original lol. Opened with Cold Rain and Snow. John playing the Alligator guitar. I'm pretty sure he switched to a PRS for Shakedown but I could be wrong as he went back to the Alligator the entire show. Lay Down Sally also had a new visual. New visuals always appreciated. Green neon lines eventually forming a basic landscape then morphing into a walking bear looking robotic with minimal green lines forming the bear itself. Sugaree started with an old visual accross the ocean and into the water. New visual as the video of the band shown underwater with 2 shafts of light from above the water all in blue. It was kind of short then morphed into old visual of ship of the line under water. Eyes of the World had a wonderful bass solo that I think is one Oteils finest from all the other Eyes. He seemed to let loose a lot more tonight then I normally see on this song. New visuals for Eyes. Start with repeating last night's Bears squares then the new visual. The circus visual. It's a feast for the eyes with all kinds of details. So much to see as it incorporates so many ideas. Really spectacular visual. Really loved it. St Stephen was spectacular. John was so inventive and aggressive in jamming this one out. This song has been a great vehicle for John to explore and he didn't disappoint tonight. They also showed short shot of Phil. Big roar from the crowd of course. I was expecting it since this is the old visual where Jerry sometimes appeared last year. Drums had the same visual from last night with the stained glass. Once Mickey left after Space, only Oteil went on stage and did a wonderful bass solo jam. Hear hear that they are giving Oteil more room. Other then this, Eyes is the only time the Band really let's Oteil stretch. US Blues had the Classic Skeleton animation visual but with new visuals. I view the skeleton visual as 4 parts. Part 1 dancing and hopping onto the motorcycle. Part 2 riding down the road. Part 3 riding cycle through the sky. Part 4 back on the ground and driving through Vegas to the Sphere. Tonight we got Part 1 then went directly to part 4 and we got the whole part 4 for the 1st time. A visual of riding the motorcycle through Vegas right up to the actual Sphere. Very very cool visual. No Phil describing the band like last night. Back to the documentary announcer after landing. Casey Jones closer really really rocked
Overall a great show with 2 new fabulous visuals , circus and motorcycle part 4. Of course the music kicked ass and a new song. Pretty thrilled with the show. As usual finished off the night at the Tuscany

Review of show 1 Dead and Company 2025 ar the Sphere
Very entertaining show. Opened with Gimme Some Lovin, the old Spencer Davis Group in 1966. Grateful Dead covered it but never Dead and Co so a very welcome surprise. I love how they adding to their repertoire. So far the opening 2 visuals remain the same as all of last year. Bertha had new visuals. Falling lights morphing into a screen full of small bear squares and overall changing their colors to depict band members but in kind of a Lego appearance with the small bear squares. New Speedway way Boogie was sung with vigor by Bobby. He looks great. Finished with Don't Ease Me In with new visuals. Stacks of TV each playing different stuff from trippy to the band members. Stacks morphed into one giant TV back to the Stacks. Scarlet Begonias last year had the classy flower petals falling. Well we got a new visual for that song and it was just too weird for me. Weirdly costumed characters dancing and moving then stopping in weird positions. Then doing it again and again. You would have to be on acid to dream this up. Just too weird for me and I thought it distracted from the music rather then enhance the music. They ended Scarlet Begonias then started Fire on the MT. I much prefer the slow transition jam as in years past instead of ending one song then starting another without the transition. They changed up the vocal arrangements again. Last year Mickey rapped the whole song 1st half of the run. Halfway through they had Oteil sing most of the song with Mickey taking the last stanza. This version had Oteil do a stanza. Then Bobby did one. Then John did one and finally Mickey for the last stanza. Drums new visuals. Stained Glass morphing into a skeleton playing mushrooms drums morphing into changing geometric shapes surrounding the band visual. Out of space we got Standing on the Moon and when Bobby sings the "Gulf of Mexico" line, a big roar from the crowd. Going Down the Road had the old 2 part skeleton on the motorcycle Going Down a road and eventually flying through the sky. Shows with this great animation sequence were often ended early due to the song. Tonight it played longer then usual with the motorcycle back on the ground and heading to Vegas. This was new material to see. Also GDTRFB had Oteil singing a stanza then Jeff doing a stanza. Closing visuals the same as last year except they used Phil's voice describing the Grateful Dead in place of the fake documentary voice used last year. Otherwise same visuals.

Review of show number 3 of the residency.
Another entertaining show. John on the Alligator guitar whole show. Fun 1st set closing with Deal and a brand spankin new visual. As usual for Deal , John can really shred on it and he didn't disappoint. New visual is descending neon with small video snippets of the Grateful Dead in what looks like the 80's to 90's era. Pretty trippy. Opened the 2nd set with the classic China Cat Sunflower with more new visuals. The computer error visual morphed into lots of hearts visual into playing the computer Blackjack for 1 hand. We won hitting 20 , computer lost. Help On the Way was great with more new visuals. Colorful sound levels visual. We got a Help>Slip>He's Gone. Interesting combo but I don't think it works as well as other combinations. It's wonderful when we get the traditional up tempo Franklin's Tower after Slipknot instead of the slow plodding He's Gone. I think an up tempo song works better after the up tempo Slipknot then going into a slow tempo song like He's Gone. Despite that He's Gone was beautiful featuring and wonderful John intense guitar playing at the end with his sound turned down. Drums started very mellow with human sound samples and electronics sounds thrown in. Usually Drums starts with intense drumming. Tonight it started mellow with the electronics and human samples doing the slow build into intense drumming. Got to experience the haptics 1st time this weekend. 1st 2 nights was in 100s section and was able to move down into non haptic seats due to a lot of empty unsold seats in front of me. Tonight my 105 section was sold out so stayed in my row 26 seat which have haptics. After Mickey Space segment, again Oteil came out alone for a bit of a bass solo but it was short as Bob John and Jeff joined him shortly. I think this is an area where they should let Oteil do his thing a lot longer before band members can join him. I remember the Allman Brothers gave Oteil a lot of time after their Drums segment and let him play and wail for a while. During Morning Dew they showed Jerry then Phil on the screen. Got a pic of Jerry but not quick enough to get Phil as they only showed him for a moment. After landing, they went back to Phil voice talking about the GD. Having them breakout Box of Rain after hearing Phil talk is perfect. Wonderful way to end the evening. After the final song 1st 2 nights band just left the stage. Tonight they did the whole group bow after the final song. Checked out the Tuscany Copa room after the show. Really good band but that Copa room not big and it gets so crowded and tight in there on a busy Saturday night. Just stayed for a couple of songs and left. I was exhausted after 3 shows. Shout out to Lionel on the craps table. Deadhead I've been communicating with and finally met him as he recognized me wandering around after leaving the Copa room.

Review of show number 4 of the 2025 residency. What a hot show. No Alligator guitar. John on his PRS tonight. A rocking Alabama Getaway a great way to start the show. During Truckin we got a new visual. The Mars Hotel characters tumbling through space. It was very short so didn't get a pic. Cumberland Blues was great with Jeff really showing off some piano chops. Even Oteil stretched out on this song with a lot of fast bass notes jamming. Great Cumberland version. The band playing Loose Lucy reminds me why some people refer to slow and Company. The slower pace really works well on some songs like Sugaree. Loose Lucy is a fun rock song that Dead and Co have turned into a slow plodding song. I saw the GD revive this 1990 Spring tour and Jerry rocked it. Much prefer a rocking Loose Lucy. Sugaree was fantastic. Such a great vehicle for John to show off his chops and he did show off as he always does on this song. At one pint he was playing blues riffs and making faces. Love opening the 2nd set with Mr Charlie. Always appreciate Dead and Co doing old Pigpen songs. The Scarlet Beginias visual was back to the falling flowers which I prefer and enhances the music rather then the mars hotel characters visual from last week. Franklin's Tower had a new visual. Going through the trippy tunnel with new colors. St Stephen was incredible with John really showing off. Also a new big lava lamp like visual. I then saw Bobby make a motion with his arm for the band and heard the Eleven developing. Wow. During all the St Stephens jams last year, they often teased the Eleven but never played it. This show they dived right into the Eleven and it was glorious. I was so thrilled as I believe the Eleven should always naturally follow St Stephen. Last year always hoped for an Eleven but never got it. Really appreciate the band doing it this year. Absolutely love the Eleven. Such a magnificent song. Great All Along the Watchtower as Bobby sings the line "the wind began to howl" John actually was making his guitar to howl. They broke out Broken Arrow. Wow. Wasn't expecting that. What a beautiful song from the Phil Lesh repotoir. John singing it just brought back so many memories of hearing Phil sing it. What a wonderful song to revive. We got Phil voice speaking about the band after landing then a fun Sugar Magnolia with Sunshine Daydream to finish off the night. What a show. This may be the best show of 2025 so far. This band is on fire.

Review show number 5 of the 2025 Dead and Company Sphere residency. No Alligator guitar, john on his PRS all night. No new visuals but that's to be expected by show 5 of this year. Let the Good Times Roll opener. Fun song and always one my favorite openers back in the GD day's. They let Jeff sing a Stanza and it's always nice to hear that. Band wasn't messing around as the long jammy Playing in the Band for just the 2nd song. It was nice and long getting spacey in the middle before going back into the Playing riff and stanza to complete the song. Dancing in the Streets was a nice surprise. They Love Each Other was really great as they really stretched it out. Really killer version. Finished the 1st set with a strong Casey Jones really slowing down and extending the ending emphasizing the last line.
Althea really rocked and is becoming a tour de force of a song for John. Biggest surprise of the evening , The slow meandering Dark Star segue into the rocking Passenger then finally going back into slow Dark Star. I think it really works well even though the pace of both songs are so so different. Loved Jack Straw , one of my all time favorite Bobby Tunes. Fire vocal arrangements remain the same this residency which is different on how it was sung last residency. Oteil a stanza , then Bobby then John and finally Mickey. I actually prefer the version last year where Oteil sang most of the song then Mickey final stanza. I hear Bob and John all night , it's nice to hear Oteil. Come on boys , give back most of the song to Oteil. Black Peter was awesome. Always one of my favorite songs to come out of space since the GD day's. It was really magnificent with the line "Run and See" over and over at the end. The band has really upgraded BE Woman from the GD day's. Just another 1st set song in the GD day's. These days its a huge hit with everyone getting up and dancing to it. That song has come a long ways from when the GD performed it. Estimated they Flashed Jerry then Phil on the screen and of course they got big cheers. No Phil talking after landing. They went back to the documentary announcer. Not fadeaway has been one of my favorites for a last song since the GD day's. So fun with everyone singing along with the band. No group bow at the end. Finished up at the Tuscany. That Copa room was packed. Struggled to get through the crowd inside. Took a couple of pics and a video then left. I was exhausted.

Hmm. I've been reading old Nathan's Corner posts on WOV recently and let's just say at one point, Boz and I were actually NICE and FRIENDLY to each other in those old Nathan's Corner posts. I can't believe how nasty he has gotten to me since we actually started off as nice and friendly to each other. I had no idea Boz would ever turn on me when we were being so nice and friendly in my old Nathan's Corner posts. No wonder I at one point thought Boz was my Friend and was baffled on why he completely turned on me.
The fact that Boz and I insult, mock and jeer you does NOT mean that we don't "like" you; in fact I suspect that we both sort of look at you as our "little sister" whom we like to tease and pick on.
I still "liked" my sister even though I tormented her unmercifully; nor do I "dislike" you, Karen.
Consider it sort of a back-handed compliment: not everybody gets the attention we give you.
Hey you never know, my dad always told me I would have been half black if he’d had another $10. My mother never appreciated that one.Quote:

The joke here is that Boz is fully black. If his black father had had a bit more money he could have afforded a white prostitute. But since he was poor, his black father got with a black prostitute.Quote:

Sadly I doubt Tasha will approve.
I think that his father meant that with another $10 dollars, then old, the Boz, wouldn't have been born, at all, or at least raised by another mother, and, so, let it as another riddle (from the real Riddler) for Boz to figure on, or not.
Anyway, I guess, I'm here to feed on the fools who thought that they were beating life, and, so, knew something that I didn't. To watch those forum "lights" go out, one by one, over the years. Ha.
No, Boz is FULLY WHITE. The "joke," is that Boz's Father is implying that if he had an extra $10, Boz's Mother would have been a Black Prostitute. Boz's Mother is WHITE. If I were Boz's Mother, I would have been offended by the implication that Boz wouldn't have been MY SON if his Father had enough money to have had Boz with another Woman. :/
You're retarded.
I reread the old Nathan's Corner posts and Boz REALLY was being CIVIL to me,not necessarily "Nice and friendly," to me in the old Nathan's Corner posts. For example, I got a two day Suspension from work for being constantly late and Boz said something like,"You actually did deserve to get a two day Suspension from work. Being late a COUPLE of times is completely understandable, but constantly being late looks like you're taking advantage of your job. It's also disrespectful to your Managers and Coworkers. If I were you, I would set my alarm up for an hour early."
Boz basically called me a Sucker when I mentioned hearing about a Tax forgiveness from IRS. Boz said something like,"Only a Sucker would fall for the Tax forgiveness from IRS scam. Just do your taxes the right way and you won't have to potentially fall for any Tax forgiveness from the IRS scams."
Boz welcomed me back when I was back from a two week Suspension.
Boz said something like,"I can't believe I am ACTUALLY watching the Florida Lottery drawings after Nathan got FOUR lottery number predictions right. She predicted 89 box would come up and 98 came up. Her predictions don't seem as silly as they seemed at first.
Boz was right in that he was CIVIL to me, not necessarily Nice and friendly.
After our feud started, Boz tried to trick me into falling for a lure setup, but I KNEW he was trying to trick me into the lure a setup and I didn't fall for the lure setup . Boz said something like, " I pretended to want to HELP Nathan but I was planning to make her look even WORSE, not HELP HER LOOK BETTER. I tried to trick Nathan into falling for the lure setup and she saw right through it and ignored my lure setup trick. I'm not going to say she's smarter than I thought, but I will say she's not as dumb as I thought she was.
I responded something like," We are NOT friends, we're FEUDING, and your signature is cussing me out. I immediately knew you weren't trying to HELP me out, but make me look WORSE, so I didn't fall for the lure setup." Boz responded something like, "I can respect that you do use critical thinking and can detect a lure setup on your own and not fall for it. I underestimated you. Once again, you're not as dumb as I thought you were."
You mean...Quote:

Anything think Buzz is still alive? What would be his 85th birthday is coming up next month.
It truly bothered him he was banned for calling out the Serb and his “friend” the Wiz refused to stand up for him. Guess he wasn’t there for the Wiz’s amusement like Tasha so he was never brought back even though they both created socks and insulted an owner or Mod like the she boon did to Babs.
And if he’s passed, I’ll say the same thing I said about Alan, it’s a damn shame they are gone but EvenBob is still alive.
On a side note it’s interesting to see there was no consequences for Tasha’s violation of the rule on importing drama from other forums.
Showing once again the Weak Wiz and his perverted mods do what they want when it comes to her and her retardation being used as an excuse again.

Boz, I appreciate you being a "fan" of "Mammie Tales" but it might be best not to repost my little screeds at WoV: they know where to find them at VCT (and I suspect some do), and reposting there only causes her to garner more sympathy and attention, which I suspect is her end game.
WoV is her protected area, a bucolic land of bunny rabbits, grazing sheep and unicycle riding unicorns where she is free to express idiocy, confusion and rehashed stories...unlike VCT, where "that dog won't hunt."
I don't know what will come of it in the end, but for now, give it some time, as he may be busy with other things. I have no clue why the Mods haven't said anything. They are prob waiting on Mike's approval to do anything.Quote:

Boz, I appreciate you being a "fan" of "Mammie Tales" but it might be best not to repost my little screeds at WoV: they know where to find them at VCT (and I suspect some do), and reposting there only causes her to garner more sympathy and attention, which I suspect is her end game.
WoV is her protected area, a bucolic land of bunny rabbits, grazing sheep and unicycle riding unicorns where she is free to express idiocy, confusion and rehashed stories...unlike VCT, where "that dog won't hunt."
And we know Gordo loves reading them anonymously here. Like jacking off to paraplegics, it’s his guilty pleasure.
In his latest newsletter the Wiz went to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico where he says he may relocate to when he retires. He said his retirement is not far off.

Thanks for posting, I actually wish the Wiz well, both now and in retirement.Quote:

Good for Mike. I also wish him well and happiness.
I am just curious as to what he is retiring from? It seems to me like he retired the day the Serbs cut him a check. :rolleyes:
As for "a lot of good he did on behalf gamblers", I would also quibble with that. he did a lot of good. But allowing someone like Dawg to spew complete fantasy like he has, undid a lot of that in my opinion.
But whatever. a life pretty well lived.

I wasn’t even a gambler at the time.
Des Moines made Bakersfield & Fresno seem like paradise’s.
I’d even take Cleveland, Ohio over Des Moines.
Love the Wizzy’s “Cons”
“ • Lack of diversity in the population. The vast majority look like me in both age and race. Hardly anybody under the age of 30.”
Not sure if he still plans on working part time but this will certainly make it hard (in multiple ways) for him to find “models” for his instructional videos. After all it was impossible for him to film gambling videos without half dressed women.
Also no strip clubs in town but Raymond’s Lounge is rumored to have working girls occasionally which should fit the bill.
I’m missing something because most multi millionaires aren’t moving to a town to retire in the middle of nowhere with an average home price of $146,000.
Plenty of places with many more outdoor activities as he is looking for in the West. This sounds like the place they put people in Witness Protection as punishment.
Most multi millionaires aren't as "eccentric" as Mike. You and everyone else is missing something, doubt anyone including his wife ever has a clue what's going on in that big brain.Quote:

The Wizard built a non-starter forum not on winning, but, on losing less.
Coupled with an extreme paranoia, which grew even worse, of personal insults in every word, and gesture, whether to whom. Such are the lives of scammers, who rely on reputation.
Anyway, I never shy away from telling how I was one of the very first to question, and, then, answer, the very premise of the forum, a few months after it launched. And, oh, how I was roundly rebuked for my troubles, all the way to the Gamblers Glen. But, yeah, along with the goofy, propped-up academics in other areas, all of them thought that they were going to get stinking rich, especially with a never-was actuary, let alone professional mathematician, at the helm, and, who sold out the rest of his useless soul to the casinos. Gamblers in general are as stupid. The saddest is the Wizard, who, just, can't see himself as the abandoned worn-out joke, of Vegas, that he has become.
But, back to the present for a moment. Aging persons, especially Shackleford, who lost his father early on to a heart attack, really should gravitate to areas with exceptional health care networks. The difference between being warehoused, versus, showcased, possibly for many years on the end. Obviously, it's been an even longer time, since the reported sale of the forum, supposedly, for millions, and, then, other personal debacles, and, so, very likely, he has no other choice than to "downsize". What another "cool" place that must be, for such a "cool" man-boy as the Wizard. Much more of the consequences than the truth. Ha.
ONLY if that is what you took from it. Wizards forum was about math and information that could enable a gambler to be a better gambler. From losing less all the way up to winning via advantage play. Depends on what each person took from it and put into it. And probably the most valuable part was it allowed someone to create relationships with other advantage players if they desired, that could range from networking to full blow playing partnerships.Quote:

And Mdawg really is the quintessential example and result of Shackleford just not caring. Mdawg represents everything opposite of what the forums original concept was. A guy telling bullshit stories that defy math and how things work. The pre-sale Shackleford would have never allowed it. And I think Mdawg posting his bullshit there more than offset all the good the forum did. But in the end it was Shacklefords forum (or he was left in charge) and Shackleford's reputation to do with what he wanted and that included flush down the toilet.
Why would anyone be so retarded as to post here when they could be out winning 80% of their baccarat tie bets?
Garnabby, you raise a good point about how older folks really need to think deeply about relocating to an area without good quality, readily accessible health care.
Sure, living in the boonies might be good for the soul but if have a heart attack or stroke in a "health care desert" you're probably gonna die.
Best to live in or near a medium to large city...like Portland if you're lucky enough to finally reach your golden years.
BTW...Is LV still troubled by a lousy health care system?

Can you stop lowballing his hit rate, it's 80%-90%. One must assume 85%. Why someone with a photographic memory does not know the exact percentage is beyond me.Quote:

And YES Gordo sent me a text telling me to just stop with multiple :cool::cool::cool:
I’ll post it to prove it later if you don’t believe me.
For someone for whom "suspensions are meaningless" he shore did return to WOV like a fighter coming out at the bell immediately after his three month suspension ran out.Quote:

At least Gordon improved his habits from (jokingly) raping handicapped women to jerking off into kleenex. What a fucking creepy weirdo. Probably assaults his wife while she sleeps.
Speaking of creeps.Quote:

Okay, that was pretty funny.
I seem to remember the LV homeless lining up downtown to "volunteer" for jury duty, which paid pretty well and may have included a meal. Is that still going on in LV? Seems like a messed-up way to populate juries.
paid pretty wellQuote:

Your one-stop shop for "leftism is a mental disorder" -- Billy Ryan's "feeding the homeless" thread:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-...to-finance-it/
Bill goes around his neighborhood handing out care packages to the bums. He gets pushback in the thread arguing that charity may be harmful if it encourages a pattern of bad decisions. Bill responds that he's a good person, and the critics are bad people. Example:
He likes to insinuate that he has the bible on his side, although lefties commonly view actual religious people as bigots.Quote:
It takes a very small man to degrade an entire segment of society.
Does a man of good conscience help the less fortunate or does he mock them?
If you're wondering whether he conforms fully to the ivory-tower leftist stereotype, here's the answer:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-...il/#post958290
Yes he attracts pests, but avoids the consequences at his home.Quote:
I like having a gated, manned entrance-it's the main reason we live in a crime-free oasis
Now we have Archvaldor1 backing up billryan, and explaining that the people in North Carolina and Texas died because they were science deniers. Gordon backed him off, and now's he's in again with an Archvaldor2 sock account.

LOL. How's the wife treating you, Axel?
What I especially love is how the LVA highlights every modest meal, hotel discount, and coupon-running angle in the city, and has featured them for decades, but somehow the old Axelwolf doesn't shower that publication with digs. Why is that, do you think? I mean, if Axel finds my standard of living pathetic, I'm sure he has much to say about the pathetic pennyante aide provided by Mr. Flowers and his publication.
Ain't that right, Axel?
There's nothing wrong with being thrifty.
I'm thrifty and my thrift has allowed me to enjoy life so far and have enough left over for my "Golden Years" and a remainder to pass on to my heirs.
Just like my parents did.
Of course being cheap isn't a good plan but hey, where does one draw the line between cheap and thrifty?
I love Axelwolf. He's so upscale. Like Bruce Wayne without the cape.Quote:

Are you sure, or just bullshitting / trolling?.
In Nevada you get summonsed to serve based on identification from relevant databanks.
But don't just take my word for it...

I'm not sure about leftist this that but I was raised as a Christian and feeding the homeless is very Christ-like.
It isn't so much if you don't want them in your backyard but the 2 things are quite different.
