If only someone still had the voicemail left on Murrays phone by Ocallagh

DublinEvents

Dear me! I wasn't expecting that to happen!

ianmc38

Lol!

ocallagh

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!!!

Marq

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.

cardshark202

You guys told me it was a $100 note!

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.

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

DeVore

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...

DeV.

ianmc38

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...

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.

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.

Another song for Reggie in work..

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho hum

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho

{ A sheet music version goes: }
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho
It's home from work we go
Heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
All seven in a row
With a heigh, heigh ho

Reggie, why so bitter? As a man with your Presbyterian background should know, there is nothing wrong with good honest work. Working is a way to praise the Lord and purify the soul.

If I had to go to work on monday (which I dont) this song might make the time in work pass that bit quicker.

Blue Monday by Fats Domino


Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play

Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay

Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

DapperGent

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of mud and muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. peter don't you call me 'cause i can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Samba

Karma will get them Reggie, don't worry

Doc Farrell

Using your intelligence to make a constructive contribution to society rather than just gambling your life away as a poker predator?
shame on Reginald! shame on you...

(I am loathe to think what your loved ones must make of it all...)

RoundTower

Hope you enjoyed the weekend, Reggie -- isn't it great to have two whole days at a time where you don't have to work for the man? And in no time it'll be time for your Christmas break. These guys must have known how you feel, here's a particularly appropriate song to get you through the week:


You're working at your leisure to learn the things you'll need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got one art O level, it did nothing for me.

Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine

You plan your conversation to impress the college bar
Just talking about your mother and daddy's Jaguar
Wear your political t-shirt and sacred college scarf
Discussing the world's situation but just for a laugh

You'll be working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine

Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine

Just working at your leisure to learn the things you won't need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I've seen your qualifications, you've got a Ph.D.
I've got an art O level, it did nothing for me.

Working for the rat race
You know you're wasting your time
Working for the rat race
You're no friend of mine

Yawn. Hi Reggie, I've just woken up. Early. to post up a new song to get you through your day:

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now

In my life
Why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows i'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed

"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do i smile
At people who i'd much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now

"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled

In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time

5starpool

Sums up my day to day existance Marq. I never thought I would agree with a Smiths song.

kinaldo

damn it's no longer Monday so this mightn't have quite the same effect, oh well...

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
It's just another manic Monday
