And... Las Vegas

Las Vegas Sign
I plan to write a bit here and there about my experiences in this strange city of Las Vegas, just as a warning. We've already encountered a "professional" poker player at a dinner party who claimed that Bush is a reptilian changeling after spouting Illuminati conspiracies; seen slot machines at our neighborhood gas station, grocery stores, etc.; and visited a furniture store the size of a warehouse run by a Tommy Chong lookalike and staffed by >15 Mexican (likely) illegals overseen by two roving guys on Segways. More to come.

oh, you should worry. by the way, it all comes from Harold Icke: http://www.davidicke.com/.
and, yes, he IS qualified to lead a religion: an ex-football player who one day started wearing turquoise.

Your spam comments are hilarious.

Unless, of course, this post was bumped intentionally, in which case -- I apologize for my presumptuousness, Vistor445.

Hmm, I think I'll change the recent comments block to exclude comments from posts that are over a month old. That will highly reduce the temporary spam that appears there.
