When Weakness Prevails, Show Them The Meaning of Strength

[redietz]

Speaking of video we need to get Alan Mendelson back in the thread. He's the only legitimate newsman here. (Yes, I know. Redietz' cousin has a girlfriend who's nephew was a janitor in a newsroom so red knows all about it). But Red lives in a treehouse with no electricity or running water in a holler in Tennessee. To far away.

An interview should be in order. Alan should have exclusive rights to interview Rob. Since Rob worked the double up bug for about 3 mil and also made this all time record 1.5 mil hit on UX....that should make him:

THE WORLDS GREATEST VIDEO POKER PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

I think everyone here will be in agreement on that. Everyone should be proud that one of our own VCT members achieved such an accomplishment.

And it would put a big feather in Alan's hat for nailing the exclusive interview.

I think you're on to something there. The Tuesday South Point Showdown could be bigger than Evil Knievel's grand canyon rocket jump. I think there are a couple of things that need a little clarification.

1. Maybe I missed it but I see all this talk about a South Point Showdown on Tuesday that both participants have agreed to, but I don't seem to see an agreed upon time. That's a little weird. One would think both of these high rolling gamblers would want to nail down that little detail or it gives the other one an out. "I was there! Right at 8:00 AM!" "Well I was there at 1:00 PM..Where were you?". Seems like High Noon would be appropriate.

2. One participant claims to have placed a lot of money 'in escrow' with a semi-famous Las Vegas attorney. The other participant doesn't claim to have made a similar deposit, but doesn't seem opposed to it. It seems like MaxPen should at least attempt to contact attorney Robert Nersesian to determine if in fact he is holding money for Singer and what the exact terms of this escrow are. That conversation alone would tell us a lot about the likelihood of the showdown happening.

Other than the facts that neither party knows exactly when the other will actually be at South Point and they haven't agreed to the exact terms of this 'escrow' that one claims to have already completed, I just don't see how this can go wrong. There's plenty of time to work out the details.

The problem is Rob throws so much bullshit that people don't remember what's going on. It's noon at the Silverado Bar at Southpoint. I will be there.

Alan, bring your reporting self. We can have a good laugh at your good old buddy that literally torched you on these forums in the past when he doesn't show up. Let alone with $700k in a bag. I will buy you lunch. Along with anyone else who wants to show up. I already know what you look like. So I will find you.

I will be there. The question is who else will be?

Damn, you're killing me. I wanna be there. No chance, though. Priceline doesn't allow you to take stabs at cut rate tickets at the last moment anymore.

You know, something just occurred to me.
