The Wedding Rundown....

Sun Nov 15, 2009, 1:37 AM
well I just got back from a wedding of one of my dad's friends from work to...get this... a distant cousin that I never realized I had. Matthew Wilson was married to Shara Ormonde. apparently Shara's Great Grandfather and the father of my great-grandfather were cousins, so in a distant line I'm family of the bride,but I sat with my dad on the grooms side. the wedding was nice,the reception was a little iffy. for starters they had this MC (that my dad and I couldn't stand) introducing all of the bridesmades and bestmen into the reception room which was held at the Tachi Palace which is a very nice Indian Casino in the town of Lemoore(which is just south of Fresno) there was dinner(the top serloin sucked), a very well made slide show of the bride as a baby and on into adulthood. same thing for the groom, then slides of them together.The bride and groom slow danced, the bride slow danced with her dad. I put two small bottles of wine into a gift bag along with a deck of casino playing cards and some gambling chips as sovieners.

This is where it goes down hill. after walking around the casino clutching a brown paper gift bag with two small bottles of wine I decide to make it less obvious that I have vino in the casino. so I go into a giftshop, buy some candy bars, put the candy bars and the brown paper bag full of swag into a plastic bag. problem solved. My dad calls another friend to come to the casino. now my dads other friend (we'll call him "Dave") likes to gamble, and drink, and smoke(but not in that order) He likes to play around with my dad,putting him in headlocks,hugging him,being playfully boisterious(to put it simpley being a total A-hole) near the end of our day, we are walking towards the front entrance towards the valet parking. Dave finds this the good time to put my dad in another half nelson. I'm on daves right side and he has a lit cigarette in his right hand. I don't want to get burnt so I try to get out of the way, but I end up tripping and falling on my bag. I hear a crack, and when I pick up my bag I see one of the bottles has broke and has gotten wine all over the candy bars,my playing cards(!),the poker chips,a players club card(the membership card you get so you can get points for stuff),and a pamphlet with the info on the wedding. I was a bit cross. dave helped to get the broken wine bottle tossed along with the poker chips and the wedding flyer.(I had forgotten that the poker chips were still in the bag,so I guess that was my fault) I got the playing cards but tossed them in the trash myself when I found that they were too wet and wine drenched to use. I couldn't really stay mad, I did have a good time.

Speaking of which here is rundown of my wins and losses:

started with $140

Black Jack-$5 minimum

played $20 worth of $5 chips and came out with even money:$20

Black Jack-$10 minimum

played $40 worth of $5 chips and lost it all:-$40

Luckey Lemmings Video slots

put in a $20 and ended with $59:+39

Wheel of Fortune(TV Game Show)25cent slot

put in $20 ended with $15:-$5

Indiana Jones penny slot

put in $20 and lost all save for 0.30

thats about all I could remember If I had my digital camera with me I would've posted pics of all the machines I played(and would've ended up getting it stolen or confiscated)

so the grand total is:
$114,but my wallet has $104 in it. If I remember right I also played $10 worth of some Hot Hot jackpot slots.The object of these is that if you get a bonus symbol on the far left and far right reel,the rest of the reels re-spin for possible more bonus spins,in the likely,but improbable chance that you win a big payout.theres a little screen at the bottom that shows an animated flame with a happy face that goes wild whenever you hit a big payout.

All in all I had fun, and hope to spend my money there again.

Hi 101, I was wondering if you could draw a get along gang picture of Bingo and Suzie racing their cars on the street in 1981. I can't really draw that good so I thought I'd bother you to do it, if you don't want to that's cool and all I'll try it myself. Thanks Carl
:icon101boy:
well I kinda suck at drawing cars(something I need to practice more on) and who is Suzie? I guess I could work on it but It'll take a while being that I have other projects going on. so please be patient and I'll see to it that I get done.

That's Suzie, Bingo's pen pal.

Have Bingo in a light blue Camaro like car and Suzie in a red Corvette, with the rest of the gang on the sidewalk cheering them on. Thanks a lot I owe you one.
:icon101boy:
ah yeah I remember the episode Bingo writes to her and sends a picture of Zipper. about the same plot of sitcoms of the 80's from
"Webster","Different Strokes","ALF","Cosby Show"to" Family Matters","Step by Step" and "Home Improvement". name a sitcom, and that plot has probably been done.

I have a new request for you. Could you draw any member of The Get-Along Gang (any one you want) snorkelling with dolphins plz?.
:icon101boy:
I guess I could draw either Bingo(cause he's a natural underwater)or Zipper(cat and fish,yes I know that a dolphin isn't a fish,but they used to be used in canned tuna so....) I have other things to work on relating to my micro-enterprise and a request by a friend so getting to you could take a while. please be patient.

This is another one of those deviations where someone requests something then all three of us (you, me and fredvegerano) do it and see who does the best job. Thats not a bad idea actually. We did it with Kit on Baloos belly going down the river then it was Kit and Molly underwater.
