Raspy Voices, Smoker Lips and Cheap Purfume

Clink Clink Clink. I wish I could say that was the sound I was hearing when I was at the riverboat casino last night. In reality it was me pounding on the "spin" button in hopes I would triple my penny bet, but in fact it was the opposite - all my $ was dwindling away. Who would have thought? At a casino you don't ever really win. Surprise, Surprise.

Jeff and I decided to venture out to the quad cities last night. We first stopped at a shady little venue for a Comedy Sportz show. Lets just say - purple tinsel is so not in. We watched an improv show, which was actually quite humorous considering it was rated E. I enjoyed how they took ideas from the crowd and turned them into scenes. Who would have thought a German accent at an ice cream parlor mixed with strange dance moves could be so humorous?

After the comedy show we went for dinner at a delicious steak house and then decided to hit up the casino. Eventually all my money started to slowly quickly disappear. I was down to my last $10 and it was well past midnight. We decided to hit up one of the slot machines and risk it all. Before I knew it, my $10 turned into $40. I was thrilled!

The casino was fun. I doubt I will be returning there on a regular basis though - I mean, come on, lets face it. . . I didn't really fit in. I wasn't smoking, didn't have a raspy smoker voice, lacked the cheap perfume smell, and didn't understand how to play 90% of the games.
