Every which way but lose

[bj bob]

This past New Year's week I had the interesting experience of meeting up with the Monkey just outside of Reno. After the long drive up from Fresno and fighting a head cold that made my brain feel like it was immersed in a bucket of cement, as well as the side effects of over-doses of TheraFlu, we finally hooked up in the evening.
Having dicussed several plans of attack, Monk then came up with something that made my head spin even more. This idea, at first seemed as cockamamie as the old clean ashtray and turn the seats around gimmick. But, hey, this is the Monkey and, although he might be completely crazy he's no idiot.
So, I thought to myself, as long as this plot doesn't permanently affect my marital status or my ethnic background I'm all in.
Without going into any specifics here, I followed the plan as perscribed, still making no sense whatsoever. But I kept on script anyway. After a half an hour or so I noticed a growing stack of chips in front of me and occasionally glancing over at the Monk I figured he was up a little, but not as much as me. Well, after a little more than a hour I just had to color up due to complete fatigue. I then hit the VP for about 15 mins. and headed over to the cage which took about 10 mins and two phone calls to get my money. What a crock! These guys sweating nowhere near 10K. Ridiculous! But anyway, I finally got off the property and redezvoused with the Chimp at our pre-arranged location. We then settled up and finally calculated the net which turned out a tidy little sum.
I am yet trying to figure out all the math behind this ploy, but little by little it's starting to sink in. My only regret was that stupid cold and that we didn't have more time or the opportunity to attempt an encore and most of all, not enogh time to get him some quality time at the Bakersfield Zoo.

Ha, yes, good job! Just don't get caught with an ape up your sleeve!

Only thing is, you weren't supposed to win a lot, I was. You messed it all up and won a lot too! That's blackjack for you. Not sure if we could have pulled that trick off again right away, and gotten my week's run-of-the-house comp as well. I already had a run-in with the KGB out there, lucky we both didn't get run out of town.

You're right. Dimitri, Vlad and Yuri just can't wait to see you again. However, it does prove that there is no more Italian Mafia.
This has been a very strange thread since I've gotten a half dozen replies on PM and none on the forum, but my lips remain sealed. I told everyone that if I told them anything you would kill them by chewing their jugular.So much for primate behavior.
Anyway, next time I'll try to conform and not win so much. It must be all those damn negative indeces.
I will conclude, though, by saying that if the stakes were a little bigger and there were more venues available, that we could have easily cleaned out that tray.

Ok, these messages are a little cryptic. AutoMonk did you actually team up with someone you met on the internet? RJT is going to have a field day with you!

The truth is that there really is no AutoMonk, he's just a fabrication of Zg and was devised just to piss off RJT. As a matter of fact, I too am simply an illusion designed solely to boost post ratings on the Zen Zone.
