At least it's a matter of that, with me, with a real prize on the wheel. But, with the Crimm's of the world, it can't be more than a pathetic self-parody. Yeah, man, he's the greatest slot pro, ever. Ha. Gambling his life away on a sure loser.
Which reminds me of the Wizard's excursions to cheap places like useless bars in Germany, thinking that the world is watching, that he's still the big man over there. He was never anything but the autistic joke of Vegas.
Gee, what an outpouring of dismay when old, Garnabby caught on to that, right away. But, years later, over at the Gamblers Glen, and other forums, how they forgot when they turned on the Wizard, at which point they became as big a joke.
