By now you've heard the news - one of our own here
in Vegas went down, and we all feel the pain...
All weekend long people have been asking me, "Where were
you the night Roy was mauled?" God, I remember
it like it was the day before yesterday...
I was at Stuffed Peppers, and when the news hit, it went through
the room like fajitas smoke, the kind that makes you wish you'd
ordered fajitas. Why do waiters always walk faster with fajitas
than with any other order? (incidentally, the stuffed peppers
at Stuffed Peppers, very medium, but the zinfandel-fried chicken
legs are a whole new taste-tation)...
The funny thing is, Roy was waaaay down the odds board for injury.
The Vegas Entertainers Death Board at Shyster's Sportsbook even
had Seigfried higher than Roy because of that
'vibe' he puts out...
But hey, take your pick - Also above Roy on the odds board were
Lance Burton (dove attack, 27-1), Danny
Ganz (throat seizure, 30-1), Rita Rudner
(murder, 17-1) and Sheena Easton (old age, 11-1).
Roy was all the way up at 40-1!
Roy baby, wherever you are, take comfort in knowing you helped
someone collect a bagful of potato chips... Wait though, he's
not dead yet, at least when we went to press. He's at Allen &
Rossi Medical Center. I gotta check with Shyster's and see if
you get a partial payout on that...
Or my name ain't...
The Tubster
We all know unsanctioned
gambling is illegal, and Sportalicious! would never condone it.
But if you're playing at the kitchen table, an innocent game with
your kids using potato chips…knowledge is power, that's
all we're saying.
