With quick thinking I snapped this amazing shot tonight. The cheques are part of my ratholed winnings, which I keep here on my computer desk. Kind of says it all.

They're new dual-purpose chips for both casinos. Wow that pic must be years old, that's the real old style black chip.Sonny said:
I suppose keeping all those greens at home increases my RoR (Roaches on Ratholes) no?

Hey I already have a maid. But I live in a condo building, not too much I can do about the roaches except send an exterminator to all my neighbors.MAZ said:
I think the pic came out pretty cool- you can see the translucent body of the cockroach illuminated by the flash.

Kinda reminds me of a friend I once knew.Automatic Monkey said:
Place I lived in N'awlins a few years back hired someone to spray from unit to unit. Really just chased the roaches from one place to another, but kept them at bay for a while.Automatic Monkey said:
Some cats will get 'em but it can be gross if they get those big fat ones.
Tip if you got roaches: always check your shoes before inserting foot. My wife let out a blood curdling scream finding one with her foot.
Sorry to reply to myself lol - just thought it was cool/ironic that a check drawn on the Federal Bank of the Mideast payable in dollars at a bank on the 14th floor of the World Trade Center 30 days after 911 when it no longer existed would still clear.Kasi said:Here's a slice of my pictorial BJ life.
Still can't figure out how it cleared :grin:

Hardware stores sell large boxes of Boric Acid, a cheap white odorless powder.
Roaches will NOT cross a line of it.
In N.Y.C., where roaches are rampant, people place a thin continuous line of it along the periphery of a room.
it works fairly well to keep the roaches out - until the powder is depleted. It is almost non-toxic. However, if you already have an infestation it will serve to keep them in.
Note: Cannot be used if you have cats or dogs, who will lick it off of their feet.

A tip, not ethical (or legal ?)
The following, I imagine, is illegal - is a bit like "check-kiting" - the process of writing a bad check and sequentially depositing money (via checks) from a series of bank accounts, in a timed fashion, in order to severely extend the time it takes for the reality of the check being worthless to emerge. In pre-computer times one could "float" a bad check for months on end with just a handful of bank accounts. Technology has changed all that; but there are still local "clearing houses" so ...
... IF I write a check and want to extend the time it takes to clear I run a powerful magnet several times over the data-encoded strip on the bottom of the check. This scrambles the data so that the check must be pulled from the queue and cleared manually.

real snapshot of blackjack life
i almost just posted a picture of my results for the 3rd quarter of my fiscal year 2008 but decided against doing so publicly.
needless to say, it is ugly. but it would have made a damn nice addition to this thread.
i'll just say that if you cant handle the swings (euphemism for nausea-inducing roller coaster?), this "life" isnt for you :whip::devil:

Aw. C'mon. We don't need no stinkin $profit loss statement anyway.rukus said:
There's alot of pain far out that curve :grin:
Care to equate the pain with how far out :grin:
Do you try to figure your results globally - like taking into account all the diff games and spreads you may have used over time?
Next quarter will be better
