    Better than the usual two kneecap limit though.

    I only seems like bad luck until you realize that one more seven and the Robert De Niro character would have had your head placed in a vice.

    And it can happen no matter how logical you are or know the real odds are low. The house always wins, folks. Which is why I've never gambled... unless these count

And the minute you want a little of it back, she walks out on you! It's just like the saying says, you know? In the poker game of life, women are the rake. They are the fucking rake."

    Exactly why I prefer Black Jack (21)... besides it teaches you to count!

    (Btw... it was a goodish film and I only played that coin waterfall / rake shite on big boats... preferably during really rough seas... (get it?) ... or waiting for a seat at the 21 tables.)

    You must not have mastered the strategy of kicking the machine hard while coughing even harder at the same time

    Hmm... nothing so gauche actually... just let the rough seas do it.

    FYI... U.S.A. Shipping... new guidelines with certain online sellers that give you a choice... One Live X is crap.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Vaping/comm...sing_onelivex/

    15 Days so far... tracking? they keep moving the delivery day! (Normally it took 3 Days!)

    -or-

    Pay the absorbent price for "Express" ...I should have gone that way!

    WTF... One online vendor tacked on $7.00 without my knowledge, to my credit card... just to verify I was 21!

    I order from different online vendors once a year... and nothing I ordered contained nicotine!!!

    Outta be a different law! {sigh}
