Word is that the strippers get comped to be at the Hard Rock pool, hence all the hotties.

Yep looks like LD11 giving Enginegro the "lucky stranger" hence the enormous smile on Gro's grill...

So JT was calling his credit card company about a ride in a MIG that he didn't order, when on the line comes Jack.  He didn't tell me his name was Jack until JT said his name was Jack (JT is a second, so he usually goes by Tom).  Now the other Jack on the phone sounds like Ben Kingsley in his Oscar winning role.

So JT asked him about how he was named Jack by his parents. Talk about a brain fart.  JT rolled on about being named after his Dad who was named after teo WWII heros.  JT almost got a real name.  He broke script for over a minute, but finally recovered saying he didn't know why he was named Jack.

Needless to say JT didn't get to fly a MIG for the $10,000.  Turns out they were off by a digit.

Breaking News...

Secret notes from Pacman Jones' recent meetings with his lawyer. Instead of focusing on his impending legal cases... this is what Pacman wrote on his notepad.

Gro read simmons today too (workaholic over here), for as much as he complains about LAX and the vegas airport why doesn't he drive every time? It's under 300 miles and all interstate. Driving is a no brainer unless ESPN is picking up the tab.

Gro,

The Rev is not familiar with Simmons complaining about LAX to LAS, but he is familiar with the drive.
Sure, it is all Interstate, but it is such a miserable drive that it makes the NYS Thruway look downright exciting.
About the only redeeming quality of taking I-15 to Vegas is that you don't have to go through 29 Palms or Indio.  but you still have to go through Barstow.  The Rev would rather find himself in Phelps, NY than Barstow, CA.  Barstow makes an anal boil seem fun by comparison.

The Rev finally broke down and bought Sirius because the radio is dead in the desert.  After all, the drive from PHX to LAS is no fun, either. The Rev covers the airports all through western AZ.  The towns that own these airports are make Norwich or Oxford, NY seem downright cosmopolitan, and the area between those towns is well-nigh desolate.

In short: Simmons doesn't drive because the drive sucks worse than the flight.

Coco Crisp fields good.

By any chance, did anyone see the last Yankees Sox Fox Saturday game, where they let Julian Tavarez introduce the starters and he introduced 'Coco Crips'?  One of the funniest moments in modern television.

Bman can't watch said game, because of the odd rules of baseball, making it impossible for both teams to lose at the same time....


...yes Bman is a bitter Phillies fan....

Actually Simmons' take is the opposite.  Macarran sucks no doubt, but not any worse than LAX.  TGP still thinks the drive to and from Vegas is way too much of a hassle to deal with.  Why keep your eyelids open with tooth picks on the drive back when you can drink in the terminal and.or the airplane?

Do the casinos have shuttle busses that pick people up at the airport? You think they could afford that kind of service.  Tell Celine Dion she has to switch from fiji water to desani.

Yes the shuttles can pick you up.  But then you have to wait forever, because so many Hotels are owned by the same company so they drop people off at each hotel.  So basically, if you're staying down the strip at all, it's like 45 minutes to an hour.  And when you arrive in vegas, you have butterflies and you start twitching, and the LAST thing you wanna do is wait for a stupid shuttle bus.

Yeah, I think a cab was like $20 bucks.  On the way out of town the cabbie took us the highway route bc the strip was packed (even though they tell you NOT to let them do that)  It's all good bc I told him he is only getting a $20 spot no matter what way he took us.

....and what is with all the tipping?  You have to tip the guy who hails the cab, the cabbie has to tip the guy who hails him, you have to tip the waitresses, you have to tip the flippers that hand out the cards....you tip the bellman, the luggage guy, the guy who calls the luggage guy.

When does it end!!!
