By the way, mickey, the biggest raccoon I've seen in my life -- counting zoos, television, and that guy from Canada with the YouTube channel who feeds them hot dogs -- broke into my garage the other night. Must have weighed 40 pounds. He said to say hello.

I get a kick out of mickey. Like traveling around BumFuck, Egypt playing slot machines for 40 years lends one some gambling imprimatur. Mickey, I was in The Castaways Contest, the 1K entrance forerunner to all of the Westgate and Circa NFL contests, 40 years ago under RE Dietz. That board with my name on it was in the Castaways lobby, seen by literally thousands of people, while you were jumping on freight cars with Mad Dog tucked into your boot. Have some respect for people who actually spent their lives gambling, man.
"Hey, Walters, do you remember that Bob Dietz guy that used to work for you?
"Bob who? I've hired hundreds of people."
"Bob Dietz!"
"Lets see....Bob Dietz? Bob Dietz? Oh! You mean Bob the Ditz! Damn, that was 30 years ago. Poor guy. Couldn't pick his own mother out of nine chinamen. I made a fortune betting the opposite of his picks. Where's he at today?"
"I heard he's pickin' tomatoes in Tennessee."
