Oh, I don't know. Just my offhand recollections from his pages and pages of posts, a few years ago, around the time he was arguing with Singer. For some reason, Crimm wrote a lot about of own history, back then. I seem to recall that there were things sold to others that weren't to be desired, and, other cons, to get by with the crowd before the slots stuff. And, around the same time, his conversations with Alan, whom Crimm took for a fool to (try to) do with as he pleased. Before that, the stuff that Crimm wrote at the Wizard's forum. Something about fights with rocks in socks. A lot of down-and-dirty stuff. It didn't help his literary aspirations, either, to tell so many off along the way. Of course, it couldn't have mattered what he wrote about the likes of Singer. Probably, best to let Crimm comment further.Originally Posted by accountinquestion
People who want to stop drinking, etc, don't have to get into such a competitive, etc, "career" as gambling. I wonder that it wasn't a bit like taking up religion in jail, to switch from one poison, or whatever, to another, especially along with the motel/hotel lifestyle. Can't really make a mark for yourself without a clean break, something truly new and different.
