I agree! You may have a problem, and it is serious but ffs you KNEW you had a problem, take responsibility for yourself and your actions! You are a grown person (well you should be if you can get into a casino in the first place)!
Do you really expect people making minimum wage to maybe 12$ an hour to remember everyone, their names and faces on that list?
And here’s a tip, if you have a problem, know it, avoid it! It’s like an alcoholic going into a liquor store just to have a look… Common sense people..
But but but it’s everybody elses fault but mine. I’m just a poor victim. I did nothing to cause this.
another asshole trying to make money. if he really knew who owns that casino, he would think twice about suing these guys. those boys don’t like courts or wise guys.
Is this the same guy that we bitched about last year?
I’m so sick of this rising norm in society of people being unable to take responsibility for anything they do.
^^^ I agree, FA.
You’ve posted some great shit, particularly lately, my dear. Let’s be LTWWB BFFs! LOL.
HE signed the waiver himself.. and then proceeded to go in, gamble consistently, lose all his money, and then “oops, I know how to make amends, I’ll sue!”. And instead of just suing for what he lost, he’s going for an extra MILLION in damages.

Seriously dude, you have some issues. Yes, the Casino should be checking IDs against the list (don’t they have a database), but still, he wasn’t FORCED to go in and gamble. FFS.
Oh ya, and seabastard… It was in the news.
Yeah, because we all know the Casino Mafia are out there forcing guns to peoples’ heads if they don’t gamble their money away. The guy’s a tard and deserved to lose if he was stupid enough in the first place to think he would win. Casinos are in the business of making money, not giving it away.
is it even possible that he can win?
People don’t take responsibility anymore for anything..
Sweet, I’m down P.K!
We will combine our genious opinions, and together we will be unstoppable!
😛
Hahaha *Genius.
What a completely appropriate time to misspell a word.
Yay! I’ve always wanted a LTWWB bff! All I gotz is NGF and he’s having a ‘heavy flow day’ today 🙁
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA. Pretty Kitty I am your BFF until the end of time(or when the Mayan Calendar runs out) whether you want me or not.

BAHAHAHAHA @ fallingangels…. And that, my friends, is irony.
BACK OFF, GET YOUR OWN LTWWB BFF, MR JONNO.
I *heart* you too, Ivan!!!
There is obviously a need for some kind of filter… when he files the suit he has to do it in a room with Chuck Norris. If frivolous, then gotta go 2 rounds with Chuck.
he thought gambling away his money was a bad idea….
now he’s just giving it away to the courts.
Go hunt down a Nigerian prince to solve all your problems, you twat.
I was listening to talk radio this morning and they were talking about this and there were actually a lot of people calling in who were pointing the finger at the big bad casino! I’m so sick of this. This is what addicts do, they blame everyone else for their problems. You think if he had won, let’s say $100 000, that he would have said “okay I guess I have to give it to charity now”? I doubt it! He’d be fighting for that money! This guy is an idiot bum, a leech and needs to take responsibility for his OWN actions. Are people going to start suing bars or liquor stores for when they get DUIs and run people over too? This guy needs to get chucked in the ocean.
ROTFLMAO, You guys are the best BFF’s ever, you make my day so worth while. Oh how I have missed posting.
Pfft, forget jonno, FA. He smells.
PK is *totally* *way* cooler (and nicer smelling ^_^)
😀
“Are people going to start suing bars or liquor stores for when they get DUIs and run people over too?” – They already have, and won. Why do you think bars cut you off? Not because of any sense of civic duty, that’s for sure.
Hah, but P.K, Jonno is one of the extremely few people that will go along with some of my crazy ideas. I have to give him credit for that at least.
Although, smelling nice is pretty damn important to me.
He’s compensating for the lack of good smelling-ness, FA.
Hahahaha silly girls. 😛
Note that when I say “girls”, I mean FA and PK specifically and not girls in general.
YOU SEXIST PIG!
And how do YOU smell, 195? If the scent is right…*blush*
hahahaha.
GOD I need a nap :S
Oh and how much do you want to bet (har, har) that the guy suing the casino is related to Survivor? Teeeeheee!
mel: you are officially invited to join FA and PK’s duo of awesome, except now it’ll be a TRIO of awesome.
That is all.
Hahaha I guess I smell alright. I’ve never really bothered to check, to be honest. 😛 I put on deodorant every morning (Old Spice, natch) so I guess I don’t reek at least. 😛
You’re so cute, 195. I just want to pinch your little cheeks!
Hahaha I’m not entirely sure how to respond to that. 😛
You remind me of an innocent little boy….who knows more than he lets on.
Like this boy I met last summer…he looked so young and was so adorable and ALL the ladies wanted to hook up with him…..because he was so cute and innocent. That guy got ALL kinds of ass.
Too young looking for me, but the other ladiez seemed into it.
What a conversation happening here! damn, I’m too busy at work today or I’d join the trio and make it a foursome… that’s often the funnest number 🙂
b195 is def tres adorable.
I would love to get Charlie Sheens take on this oy vey!!!
It’s a given you’re in the trio of awesome, ralmn. So yeah — foursome of awesome.
Though. We have to include RC too….so, really, what we have is an orgy of awesome going on here. And NO boys allowed. Especially ones that smell funny.
@basil:…”(CBS) picked a fight with a warlock”
Hahaha I understand now. Thanks, I guess.
It’s a compliment, 195, trust me 😉
Apparently gambling can be a destructive addiction, just like crack cocaine is for some and alcohol is for still more.
The guy signed a voluntary exclusion order, ie. he had himself banned from the casino, in order to curb his gambling addiction. There aren’t many avenues open to gambling addicts who are trying to get the gambling monkey off their backs. In this case, the casino obviously wasn’t able to enforce their own exclusion order, for whatever reason.
I bet they’d have no trouble keeping me out if they had previously identified me as a skilled card counter, something casinos label as cheating but is in reality the basis of all skill at playing card games – knowing what’s been played and knowing something about probabilities.
The difference, of course, is that a problem gambler is only making them richer.
A skilled card counter is costing them money.
The casino has no interest in keeping unskilled card players out. That’s their bread and butter. I’m not really surprised that they’d pay only lip service to helping folks with their gambling addictions.
The guy supposedly went into the high roller’s room to see if he could get in, and he could. No one stopped him. What he should have done then was to report to the manager that it was totally easy to do whatever he pleased even though his name was on the list, NOT gamble away his money (which is what he did, I assume). The problem is that the system they have is practically useless. They just have it, I guess, to appear as though they are trying to help people who have serious gambling problem. Their excuse? “No one can remember 1400 faces.”
YEAH ORGIES!! <3
I felt bad saying jonno smelled so I apologized to him 🙁
But he wouldn’t accept my apology 🙁 He said he was being a hard ass about it!
My heart is now broken into a million tiny little pieces. *sniff*
He’s DEFINITELY not in the orgy of awesome now!
I’m suing The Coast for making me read all the comments incoherrent to the OB.
NO ORGIES!!
Donk, love, are you losing your sense of adventure??
Lol senor.
Thanks for including me. But at the same time I have to agree with donk who I’m sure, from reading her many informative comments, knows a lot more about orgies then I do.
But but but it’s still not my fault. I just couldn’t help myself. All those bells and bright lights. So what if the Credit Union foreclosed on me and I’m going to lose my job soon. Dammit you people owe me everything. Yes those big bad casinos are completely responsible for what I do. And when I get a DUI, I’m definitely suing the bar (which has happened) and Keith’s for making it, and if I get in an accident, I’m suing the automobile manufacturer for not making their product idiot proof.
Hmmm… I thought we were still talking about lattes??
Not at all ralmn. My sense of “I don’t want to die” is just quite high. These STD rates, make me want to resin dip my genitals and declare no entry forever.
No treponema pallidum for me, nope.
Well, that was kinds graphic, lol.
Tim, “…suing the automobile manufacturer for not making their product idiot proof.”
Been done, my friend. Recall the Major Tool in the Winnebago fiasco.
But entertaining as always. 😀 ^^
Of course the guys suing the casino, he fucking loves gambling now hes betting it all on a court case.
I say, he just wants more money to gamble! He’s suing for over $1 million dollars.. how long would it take him to gamble all that away? Not long.
It’s like a morbidly obese person suing McDonalds.
Orgy Of Awesome?
I’m in!
1. Jonno does not smell…. I’m an impartial figure and I appreciate his odourlessness…. because of the [proximity]
2. PK has taken far too many meds…. you don’t know because you’re on the verge of delusional insanity right now.
3. RC is clearly suffering the same symptoms…
4. where’s Donk’s Giraffe? sorry ralm but they please me so….
5. Charlie Sheen is… well I know about 38% of people… mostly males just for statistics … that would desire a “being John Malkovich” door that would spit them out into the Labyrinth’s Bog of eternal Stench just to be him for 24 hrs.
maybe he and zinck should get together? they are both losers in the game of life. zinck had one of his houses sold at auction today.
maybe this other idiot should have done something, i don’t know, like maybe stay the fuck away from the casino anyway?
he volunteerily put himself there, and expects someone else to save his ass. uhuh, ain’t gonna happen kiddie. if i knew i had a problem like that, then i would have made EVERY effort, to stay away. but this turd, no, he just wanted to see if he could get in and start shit. hope he knows how to swim, with lead weights on him, lots of lead weights.bacchus, is the name to be sued, and who has a cycle club in upper canada by that name? they are not angels, but come close to it. bet he turns up missing before court date?
and on the subject of bff, wow, you guys are fucked. just say you are friends, and be done with all the gooie b.s., will yas? and you now what i said awhile ago about best friends and blowjobs, heh, heh.
and by the way ladies, i’m down for an orgy.
Oh yay I will join the groupage of awesome!! I have friends now!!!
Hahaha whatever you say, kitty-in-the-green-turtleneck. 😛
HAY. Stop making the orgy of awesome into something dirty, people! It’s about being awesome, and while sex is awesome, it’s not the kind of awesome the orgy of awesome is. It has nothing to do with genitals, ok people!
Frig sakes!
Wheelie: the orgy of awesome is girls only, but I think we can make an exception for you because you’re pretty darn awesome too 🙂
And I may be dilusional, zed, but at least I’m not drunk on a Monday night *wink*
I shall offer my withdrawal (figurative, nor physiological) from this orgy of awesome of which you speak. If for any reason because wheelie has decided to join and I could never measure up to him in the appeal department. And I refuse to be “second wheel”…..
And yes- I declined to accept any apologies for attacks against my very “es-scents”.. Besides, one of our beloved bitchers has already made numerous comments on just how good I do smell…. albeit in a bit of a drunken state. I have personal recollections to prove it though!
Z3….drunk on Monday night???? That explains a lot.
I’m on meds?? Only for confusing Donk and Snoop…Snoop’s the informative sex commenter right??
I’m preggo and I’m milking that card for my stupid-ness for another 13 weeks thank you very much.
Also I googled orgies and all the definitions included sex and alcohol……so I’m out. But I still love you guys.
jonno, you’re just a hater hating on poor little PK 🙁
I already SAID you’ve broken my heart — way to rub it in, mister!
… I never said I was…
though people are quick to point fingers.
I was just chillin with my main man….
http://cm1.theinsider.com/thumbnail/400/32…
Hey…. isn’t that the uber-talented, sexy lifeguard, car talking Hoffster from that funny cheeseburger commercial?
You said “maybe,” which in PK’s book translates into “yes, yes I was drunk.”
… just like how “no comment” translates into “PK is super adorable.” Isn’t that right, jonno? *wink*
Yes, RC Snoop is the informative sex commenter. I remeber reading that and was like “whatchutalkinbout?”
And what’s that about my giraffe? It’s a he btw. A graceful baby he, at the Toronto Zoo 😀
And RC when are you having this child, I’m getting impatient. Seriously. Another 13 weeks, those little bastards take long to bake don’t they.
Over 26 weeks now…..so 1/3 to go. Donk you think your impatient??? Try walking up 6 times a night because someone else in your body is stretching or adjusting…..and the little fella is running out of room….at night it looks like he’s taking karate lessons in there….it’s really fun to watch though.
PK…sweetie…don’t take this the wrong way but the more you refer to yourself in the third party..the more Z3’s accusations about the meds are going to sound true. Also I know what you look like. FB is a wonderful and terrible thing…lol. I’ll request ya later.
Loving the Hoff!!!
I really hope the moron doesn’t win the case and is forced to pay for his stupidity. What a loser.
I know, I know, RC.
I guess if you count gravol as “meds” then I certainly on some. I’m so strung out I’m starting to talk crazy talk around here.
I really am sad about jonno not forgiving me though 🙁 That one hurt *sniff*
And then to rub it in he brings up the cheesecake I didn’t get to have! And then zed said I’m crazy! Those boys just have a hate on for me, RC (notice I didn’t use the third person? ;))!
I think PK needs a hug.
I think what PK needs is a kitteh riding an invisible bicycle:
http://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/upload…
Actually, I could use one, 195. I’m freezing in here. I turned off the heat in my office last night and forgot to turn it back on before I left and I need someone warm to come give me a hug and warm me up because this place isn’t warming up fast enough!
I have two sweaters (one with a cowl neck) on and a tank top, tights and dress pants and a scarf and I’m still cold! My hands especially. I need someone to come and hold them and warm them up! Any takers? LOL.
Also: I’m excited about being FB friends, RC 🙂
Ivan….how do I add those pics??? I try but it won’t work do I have to save them as a link or something?
Also back on to topic…there’s a guy in the states who sued an RV company because while he was driving his 5th wheel he put it on cruise control and went in the back to make coffee….it rolled several times almost killing him and he got like 25 million. People are not smart.
Did someone say cheesecake????
I heard about that case RC. He won because no where in the drivers manual is it stated that you have to be behind the wheel of the car when it is driving.
They really need to make some common sense laws.
OMFG IVAN.
THAT right there is why i fucking LOVE you.
I’m definitely going to introduce myself when I come in to your store one of these saturdays 😉
Actually, those dumb safety warnings on packages…yeah, they’re there because someone ACTUALLY attempted to do whatever the warnings said and probably sued because there was no warning.
Learned it in one of my law classes. *shakes head*
Like — don’t try to fold up your stroller with the baby in it! Because the baby’ll get injured! What a concept!
Hahahaha the invisible bike is a classic.
“a cowl neck” oh no darh-ling no. You need to retire that.
Wow, sebastian, that’s amazing. I always thought casinos were non-profit organizations designed to help people.
