Drink Rum

So since Las Vegas, I've been busting the old buttocks getting ready for a software rollout. It's finally rolled out.

Yay.

So when I was in Las Vegas, I went to see Penn & Teller and I thought their show was great as usual.

I took the liberty to chat with them after the show and I must have made an impression with Penn because he mentioned me on his radio show the next day.

That's pretty cool.

I was actually going to get to go to his house for a 24 viewing party, but he had to cancel it due to getting a new show deal with NBC. You heard it here first. Penn's TV gameshow soon to be launched.

So I didn't get to go to his house for the 24 party, but I bet if I asked him nicely he'd hook me up with back stage credentials for his show. Maybe.

Screw it.

I can now bill myself as Monty, as mentioned on the Penn Jillette Radio Show.

Quick note... I was wandering around the South end of Las Vegas and got to meet Criss Angel (Mind Freak). It was hard to miss him in that he pulled up in a black lamborghini and was surrounded by popperazzi. He was actually pretty cool and very down to earth.

I also spotted Robin Leech (Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous). He was trying to maintain a low profile... sporting a hat and big dark glasses. I whispered to Kerie... "Hey, that guy is Robin Leech." She looked dubious, but the he said something and his voice was unmistakable. Then she started shouting, "oh my god! oh my god!" and Leech had an "oh crap, I've been spotted look" and he took off.

I got to play blackjack for a few hours and that was fun. I lost $100 but I drank heavily. It all evened out in my mind.

Kerie and I were taped for Criss Angel's show so we might be on TV. That'll be interesting to see.

I'm in sunny Las Vegas this week attending a Microsoft convention. Since the Microsoft side of things will be boring, I'll just write about Las Vegas stuff.

I'm being put up in the swanky Mandalay Bay hotel and casino. The bathroom is huge. There are two sinks. One to shave in and one to pee in. I was actually wrong about that part about peeing in the sink. I later found the toilet in its own little room. Poor cleaning staff.

I haven't done much since I got here. I was tired after the flight last night so I ordered room service and that was about it. Mandalay Bay is the only place I've seen where the room service guy wears a tuxedo.

I've been swamped at work so I haven't had much time to put out anything even remotely thought provoking.

I'm torn between how get's the FART today. I was thinking about giving it to G W Bush... for his normal round of stupidity. I was thinking of giving it VA politician George Allen for spam calling my house to tell me to vote for him and his homophobic self. But I think I'll give it to John Kerry.

As you may know John Kerry got caught trying to imply that Bush is stupid and his delivery made it look like he was saying that members of the US military are stupid. I'm giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt that he messed up the delivery of a weak joke, so the FART isn't for that... it's for his apology.

He shouldn't have apologized.

I don't think there's anything wrong with telling people that they should stay in school, get educated and stay the hell out of the military. It's a good way to get killed these days.

I'm not saying all people in the military are stupid. Some very much are, though. There's also a reason why recruiters are targeting troubled high schoolers too. The military isn't looking for the best and brightest. If they did, they'd pay better.

If I were John Kerry, I'd stand by my statement. Get an education and don't get sent off to die as the puppet of a mental midget.
