GUNNAR'S REVENGE -- Kiss My Ass, Vegas!

Discussion
1

I came into town on Monday and only gambled a little bit on Monday night. Quickly hitting 4 of a kind for $250.

The next morning I went to the Cosmopolitant because, ironically, I was chasing down a tax form for a jackpot I hit in 2012. Since I was up anyway, I thought I’d try my luck on “my machine” in the High Limit room. In about 5 minutes I hit the following . . . .

We left, and I was happy that I was at that moment UP about $2200.00

After dinner we went back to the same casino (Cosmopolitan) and a really wanted to hit another jackpot or make some more money. I burned through money in both the High Limit area and out in the general gaming area and was just a little bit pissed that I’d burned about 6 or 7 hundred of my profit. Our friend Natty met us there and we were all sitting around having some drinks and telling stories and Natty told us that she is terrible luck to people that gamble.

I said, “Well, let’s do some science and check that theory.” So we went back to MY machine and on my 2nd hand I was dealt 4 cards needed for a Royal Flush. I told everyone to be quiet as I closed my eyes and took my card. Then BOOM!!!

WE FKING EXPLODED!!! "Holy Fking S**T!!!" I screamed, as Natty and Nick both jumped and clapped and also screamed. People gathered around and the whole place was charged with insanity. I couldn’t even wrap my head around it. They asked me if I wanted cash or a check. I told them give me $5K in cash and a check for $15K. They asked us if we wanted some drinks and I tipped the drink girl $40. I also tipped the to payout/ slot attendants $40 each as well as giving both my friends $100 each.

We then just loitered around, told stories some more, danced at one of the bars, and then played a KISS slot machine for giggles, screaming at the machine and singing “Detroit Rock City”.

So, yeah, I guess you could say . . . . today was a good day.

(Since 2012 I have now actually had 4 handpay [any jackpot over $1200 is a handpay as they fill out tax forms] jackpots on this same machine for a total of $27,200.00).

And no, I did not gamble it all back.

For this trip I am still up $21,000.00

I don’t know how they tax winnings. I think it just gets added somehow to your adjusted income and you get screwed by Uncle Sam accordingly. But you can offset that with losses, so you’re only getting taxed on your net win/profit (if any) at the end of the year.

It’s too bad this forum has no emoticon for someone puking up their own brain. Holy shit. You are the luckiest sumbitch.

I’d also use this image as a response/meme to pretty much every situation. Well done.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I DID escape town with the $20K. I finally put it in the bank on Friday morning. I had a most excellent week spending freely and treating friends to drinks and dinners, paying for some hotel rooms for my buddies in WARBEAST, and chasing yet another jackpot (no, it didn’t happen).

Since I still had about $1400 from the original jackpot when the big one hit I just used the original stash as my fun money and burned through it.

There were a few pictures on my phone from the trip . . .

RockCard Indian Poker ---- My friend had given me a few boxes of trading cards from the late 80’s with a bunch of heavy metal bands and such on them, so when we were having late night milkshakes and bacon we invented a new game. Yeah, you can probably figure out the rough idea.

Showgirl - Some showgirl from God-only-knows-where. I was offered a free picture, so why not?

Flat Stanley* wanted to go see Peepshow, but I took him to GWAR instead.

Flat Stanley getting hammered on Chocolate Cake Shots

This is my co-worker Dave and his wife. He showed her a video of GWAR early in the week and she said, “That looks like the worst thing ever. No way!” Then on Friday, Dave said she changed her mind and wanted to go. I put her on the list and she felt like a little princess getting a free pass . . . . to GWAR, hahahaha!!!

I bought Dave’s wife a Warbeast shirt before the show, so she could protect her nice blouse . . . as you can see, she’s not exactly dressed for the occasion. I chose one I liked figuring after the show she’d just give it back, but now she’s a fan and refuses to part with the shirt.

Here’s Warbeast and Flat Stanley just before the show.

The 'Beast Unleashed . . .

Merchin’ Out!

This fine lady was partying with us at the show and planted a nice smooch on me when we took a pic.

After the show my crew invaded a Karaoke bar and I dazzled the crowd by singing “Rebel Yell” (Akbar can confirm I am Billy Idol’s illegitimate son).

I fell asleep without showering and my Gwarblood made the bed look like a scene from Law and Order.

REBARSAURUS REX and Stanley – Taken on the drive home (I bet Grumpy knows where this was taken)


When I got home my wife had a nice congratulations present ---- BACON JERKY!!!

*Flat Stanley is some project done by elementary school kids to learn about Geography and stuff. People take pics of him at various places, yada yada. My friend sent Stanley to me on behalf of her kid. So, I took Stanley out and got him hammered and then took him to a GWAR concert.

Yeah, I was really surprised at the bacon jerky. I saw someone else post a photo of a different brand and I thought it was gonna be some cheesy chopped-and-formed crap with bacon-flavor added. But it’s basically just preserved bacon. Did you get the same brand (it’s from Walgreen’s if anyone is looking for it)?

No, Mine was from that big Fish Store that is around the corner from you.
