For a number of reasons, I’ve decided to take the day off. First of all, there are no Hold ‘em events at the WSOP today, at least not any that men can play in. My parents are in town and I told them I’d go to dinner and perhaps a show. Lastly, I’m just plain tired and getting some extra sleep is very welcome.
I don’t wake up until nearly 2PM. I order a cab, which only takes about 20 minutes to get here. I often get into long and random discussions with cab drivers and today was no different. My most interesting three Vegas cab driver conversations so far have been:
1. I got a ride back from the Rio about a week ago that got interesting. We talked through the whole ride, but at some point we got on the topic of STDs. We discussed how frighteningly easy it is to get herpes. He told me about a friend of his who hooked up with some girl in a club, which resulted in herpes. We agreed that herpes is some scary shit.
2. I got a ride to the Rio a few days ago with a boisterous driver who started chatting at a fevered pace the second I got in. About half-way through the ride a song comes on the radio which he gets excited about, the so called “date rape song”. He yells to me that he loves this song, which launches into a ballad about a guy who goes to a bar and date rapes a girl. I begin to get weirded out and he senses this. “Ya gotta listen for the end buddy! The end is when it gets real funny!”
The song ends with the character in the song getting convicted and sent to jail then butt raped.
“HAHAHA! That’s hilarious. I think that should happen to every rapist! That they get thrown in jail and Bubba butt rapes them!”
3. My driver today launched into a long and elaborate rant about the real estate market of Las Vegas. He tells me there’s “No fucking chance” that the people who own the house we rent will get anywhere close to the seven figures they’re likely expecting. He tells me the apartments across Las Vegas boulevard from us haven’t even sold a single unit since the value has dropped so significantly that people are willing to lose the $50,000 deposit to not have to make the full purchase.
At the Rio I go to find Celina in the Ladies event. She’s well above average, but the poor structure isn’t affording her a lot of room to work with. At the dinner break, Celina and I meet my parents for Indian. We decide to go to the Penn and Teller show. My mom gets dragged up on stage for one of the psychic tricks, and overall the show was really good both magically and comically.
Tomorrow is the $1,500 short-handed event, which affords a very good chance to cash if the structure plays well enough. I haven’t got one at the WSOP this year, not yet.
