The vanishing Coke trick

That’s a 1.25 liter bottle of Sprite. I used to have a 1.25 liter of Coke, too. Here’s where it went: Days ago, I hosted a party for about 10 friends. One guy I didn’t know came, too. He’d driven one of my invited friends. So, this random guy: I ran down the beverage list for him and he picked Coke. So I removed the bottle from the fridge and set it down. He twisted off the cap and started ... Read more...

Backpedaling at the Rio

I’m not okay with the way this Rio roulette wheel story played out. The backstory: Last week, poker player Jeff Romano tweeted a photo of a Rio roulette table’s electronic scoreboard. The wheel had apparently hit the number 19 seven times in a row. Romano accompanied the tweet with the words “yea roulette wheel at the Rio isn’t rigged…” The Internet went nuts. Everybody wanted to get in on the discussion of how unlikely this event was, a seemingly once-in-a-lifetime ... Read more...

This is where the escalator repairman chimes in: “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” He didn’t say we weren’t allowed; he ... Read more...

The least dangerous game

The following incidents occurred while playing a 30-minute “Ironman” round of laser tag at Laser Quest on Lake Mead: -A boy, 12 or 13, shot me and screamed, “Die, you Nazi motherf#*ker. Seemed unfair that he’d get to be the allied power in this scenario seeing as though I’m Jewish and he had super-light blonde hair. -A boy, about 14 or 15, grabbed the front of my gun and shot me in the shoulder. I told him, “If you do ... Read more...

Camels, rain, the Book of Mormon

That’s a camel in the street, alright. Real camel, real street, America. Here’s what happened: At the last second, a ticket to Book of Mormon opened up, so I flew to New York for the weekend. (Really long flight, turns out. Who knew?) After the show, on Sunday, I wanted to take a quick stroll around Central Park before heading back to the bus station to make my flight back to Vegas. On the way to the park, I walked ... Read more...
