    sorry reggie, it had to go up.

    The real story behind it...

    We had been in vegas for 3 weeks and our clothes had started to smell a bit, so we decided to go to the laundrette. cardshark (el busto the night before in a 1/2 game, limit as far is i recall) had nothing better to do than come along for the trip. So, waiting for the clothes to dry (and while cardshark was squandering his last quarter desperately trying to get out of it playing low stakes pacman), Roundtower decided to see how far one might go to get back in the game. A $10 note was carefully wrapped up and placed inside a used detergent bottle and buried deep into the bin.. I was pretty sure cardshark would not go looking for it, and for a about 20 minutes he ignored it, but while we were off getting our clothes from the tumble dryer we heard some rustling!!!

    That makes it 100 times funnier.

    Lol. I can't wait to see that clip when I get home. You should have made him dance for it, but rummaging inside a bin does strip dignity even further now that I think about it!!!

    this was a couple of days before REggie famously got out of it making 800 dollars by claiming that he had walked from the MGM Grand to the Rio at midday. We later discovered that he got a taxi.

    This being around 12 hours after roundtower cashed for 160k in the main event - top notch celebrations there.

    I've heard he's a bit of an angle-shooter alright.

    I think the story Niall gave is less embarrassing for all concerned anyway.

    Statute of limitations passed i guess?. If thats the case who was the famous bodog bed boardie!?.

    Does anyone still have footage of rock star Lacey doing karaoke?

    Say what? If its anything to do with those Bodog chicks then that should be a claim to fame.

    We should have videoed Cardshark's face when he was trying to eat the limes (8 wedges) in order to win 300 bucks from Roundtower after his big cash in the main event. It was the human equivalent of waving treats in front of Indian dancing bears :)

    I think I still have that audio recording of a certain well known player, pissed out of his head in the backseat of a speeding taxi too... :)

    And to think I read all those pathetic Vegas blogs and NONE of the good stuff was in any of them. Not even a tidbit. At least HJ had the story of the magic finger...


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I get shouted at if I write about the good stuff. And tbh if I reported some of it, marraiges would be on the rocks! :)

    I heard someone who is a boardie got buck naked and leaped on the bed with some unsuspecting bodog chicks!. I think it was a drunken stunt. I dont know who it was though.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    The person in question managed to get a video clip of it on CD (before they were tossed from the casino by big burly men!)

    It's terrible quality but you can just about make out the lyrics (yes Mike did pick the song)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CupW7g-ubz0

    I just uploaded it so it might take a few minutes before it goes live. We pleaded with Mike to change the song to "Like a Virgin" by Madonna, and we even rustled up $50 each to bribe Mike, but the floor manager in the Mandalay Bay would not allow him to change his choice.... :(

    Bump this thread with new developments in the ongoing saga of Reggie's desperate struggle to get back in action. Yesterday I was reliably informed that he has taken a "job" doing database maintenance -- a company which let him go before is giving him a second chance. Poor thing.

    Tumble outta bed
    And stumble to the kitchen
    Pour myself a cup of ambition
    Yawnin, stretchin, try to come to life
    Jump in the shower
    And the blood starts pumpin
    Out on the streets
    The traffic starts jumpin
    And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
    Chorus:

    Workin 9 to 5
    What a way to make a livin
    Barely gettin by
    Its all takin
    And no givin
    They just use your mind
    And they never give you credit
    Its enough to drive you
    Crazy if you let it

    9 to 5, for service and devotion
    You would think that i
    Would deserve a fair promotion
    Want to move ahead
    But the boss wont seem to let me in
    I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
    Mmmmm...

    They let your dream
    Just a watch em shatter
    Youre just a step
    On the boss mans a ladder
    But you got dream hell never take away

    On the same boat
    With a lot of your friends
    Waitin for the day
    Your shipll come in
    And the tides gonna turn
    An its all gonna roll you away

    2nd chorus:

    Workin 9 to 5
    What a way to make a livin
    Barely gettin by
    Its all takin
    And no givin
    They just use your mind
    And you never get the credit
    Its enough to drive you
    Crazy if you let it

    9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
    Theres a better life
    And you think that I would daunt you
    Its a rich mans game
    No matter what they call it
    And you spend your life
    Going funny if you want it

    3rd chorus:

    Workin 9 to 5
    What a way to make a livin
    Barely gettin by
    Its all takin
    And no givin
    They just use you mind
    And they never give you credit
    Its enough to drive you
    Crazy if you let it

    Fade:

    9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
    Theres a better life
    And you dream that I would daunt you
    Its a rich mans game
    No matter what they call it
    And you spend your life
    Going funny if you want it

    Another song to help Reggie get through the day at work.

    Well, I was born on a sunday; on thursday I had me a job.
    I was born on a sunday; by thursday I was workin out on the job.
    I aint never had no day off since I learned right from wrong.

    Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head.
    Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head.
    And poppa threw me out, ooh, said, I gotta earn my own way.

    Chorus:
    I aint never been in trouble;
    I aint got the time.
    I dont mess around with magic, child.
    What I got is mine.

    Whatever you say, lord, well, thats what Im gonna do.
    Whatever you say, well, thats what Im gonna do.
    cause Im the working man, lord, and I do the job for you.

    Chorus

    Every friday, well, thats when I get paid.
    Dont take me on friday, lord, cause thats when I get paid.
    Let me die on saturday night, ooh, before sunday gets my head.
