Gamblers have the greatest stories 

This, from the Las Vegas Advisor:

Brit to Bet it All at Hard Rock

Ashley Revell, a 32-year-old Londoner who's sold all his belongings including his clothes, will don a rented tux and bet his life's savings -- about $138,000 -- on a single spin of the roulette wheel at the Hard Rock this Sunday. A film crew from Britain's Sky One television will tape the live event, which begins at 1 pm PST and is open to the public. Win or lose, the crew will follow Revell for a month afterward for a short reality series called "Double or Nothing." Assuming two zeros and everything else being on the square, the guy's a 20-18 underdog.

About us:

This weblog is an ongoing, if periodic, effort by several friends to stay in touch, in reading material, and in ideas.

Lucky Luciano is a former Italian Stallion real estate hustler and Benedict Arnold CEO turned shady lawyer-to-be. He lives in Denver.

Ben is a Paramedic and would-be philantropist who lives in Denver. He knows everything about nothing.

Fuzzy Dunlop lives in Manhattan. He is more than capable of standing up to the stresses of a high crime urban environment.

Jess is a teacher. But have YOU given her an apple? No, you haven't. You should be ashamed of yourself. This crazy feminist currently rests her copy of Awakening in Jersey City.

Matt is a pariah, iconoclast, and professor of gambling living in Oakland.

Miguel Sanchez is not Lionel Hutz.

Daddy Brooklyn lives in Brooklyn. He hates Republicans, though he wouldn't mind being ensconced in the landed elite of New York City.

Paul just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarette.

Ziggy Stardust has no past.
