You know, considering that there was NO REAL QUESTION in Flora’s OP, and that we’ve been meandering all over the damn place since then, I’d have to determine that the only reason we have not been bodily hurled into MPSIMS is that Nickrz must be infatuated with us.

Flora, the last time I went there two men (strangers) asked me to dance. But for backup, I can call some of my swinger friends to be our escorts. But they are professional musicians and we’ll have to support ($$$) all of their nasty habits.

Maybe we should spring for Metroshane’s plane ticket!

You _definitely_ should have been in Vegas with me.

And since members of our clique (I’ve never been in one of those before – it’s, like, kinda kewl, ya know?) seem to be the only ones here, I’ll take this opportunity to share that the karma I generated by buying at RVR came back to me, oh, about 40X on the craps tables in Sin City. So I’m buying next time, too.
