"The great thing about 7-11? You see it all..From the bum on the street, to the hottest girl in town. At one time or another? They all come into 7-11.."
-Robert Joseph Astle
"Now, you write this really nice post about Las Vegas, and you mention how one of your friends at 7-11 is interested in your idea about Guerrilla Marketing. The problem with you? You miss the simple things. You don't spell Meghan with an h, the correct spelling of her first name is Megan (Cousin Sally was referring to the fact I misspelled Megan Fox name in a previous post) Spell check! You know I've been thinking more and more about your new nickname..Boy Wonder..I've decided to change it..The Boy part still fits..From now on I'm going to call you Boy Blunder..Yeah Boy fucking Blunder.. That's you!" Some times I wonder why I bother with cousin Sally? Nowadays? She never has anything nice to say about me. My biggest problem? I still think of Sally as that girl I knew when I was young. The one who could kick any ass. The reality? Cousin Sally has gone soft on me..Oh well, she's my cousin Sally, and I love her.
READING POINT: The state of Nevada is working on legislation that will legalize online gaming, for the state (state by state issue)..I'm not to much into politics, but the words I'm hearing? Legalize and Tax! I know a lot of people who read this blog could care less about this..And that's fine..On the other hand, I don't want people telling me down the road.."Why didn't you tell me so.." My best guesstimate on when this happens? After the elections.. Let me put it this way.."It's not a matter of if online gaming will be legalized in this country..It's a matter of when!"
I was talking with my friend at 7-11 the other day, he asked me this.."When you live in Kansas, doe's everything end at midnight. I heard you can't even buy alcohol in a lot of places in Kansas." Now my friend is a youngin'. He's stereotyped a lot of people from the mid west. I had to let him know that things weren't that bad in Kansas..So I told him this.."You've been watching to much Wizard of Oz. I'm going to give you a subtle difference between the two. When I visited Kansas a while back? I went into a 7-11 after midnight and tried to buy some beer. The clerk told me that he couldn't sell it to me, and that I would have to come back at noon..Kansas has a state law prohibiting the sell of alcohol in convenience stores from 12AM-12PM..Now, Las Vegas on the other hand..No such law exists..You can buy alcohol and gamble 24/7..Doe's that kind of give you an idea of how the two differ?" My friend looks at me and says.."So what do people in Kansas do for fun? It sounds like the sidewalks roll up at midnight." I thought for a few moments before I answered him.."Well, that's easy! They come to Las Vegas."
