Fear of Loafing in Vegas

August 21st, 2009 -- Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

We were somewhere in the desert when the urge for gambling began to kick in. There was an eerie feeling that someone, somewhere, somehow was following us and I could see what could only be described as giant vets trying to herd us to the world’s greatest gambling destination: Las Vegas. But the story begins on a beautiful July morning when my attorney Dr. Bongo and I were chatting online, trying to figure out which Vegas online casino would be the perfect alternative.
“Man, we shouldn’t travel to Vegas, I’ve got the perfect thing right here.”
“I don’t believe you. You animal,” said I, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
“Man, you get free money for signing up. It’s the internet, they call it Vegas Online Casino.”
I downloaded an online casino in Vegas colors with some rum and began playing. He was right; the good people at the casino did give me money for free before I made my first deposit. There were more games than I could have imagined and I became – for the first time – a winner.

But what now? Where were we going and why the hell were we going to spend more money than we ought to? The Vegas online casino was waiting for me at home and I was on my way to a dreaded pointless destination.
“Turn around now, before the vets get a hold of us!”
