Subject: [BARGE] Trip Report Sampler

See - a trip report doesn't have to be about all of BARGE - it might
just be an incident or......


As a result of winning the last longer vs. the
DV8's, we had $310 awaiting disposition. In the traditional manner, a
unanimous decision was made by those present that the money be
reinvested in the change your life slots which promised an
$11,000,000+ payoff thereby ensuring we could afford last longers into
the next century and beyond.


A committee of myself, Timmy, Bingo and Jester descended on the Double
Diamond device sometime around 1:30 AM, sacrificing what was sure to
be a continued craps win for the sake of our group.


We plunged ahead, but discovered that pushing the spin button was
nowhere near enough action, whereby we invented "take all of Foldem's
singles" - an easy game in which we ponied up $1 each into the tray
and whoever next scored any sort of win on the DD won the pot - rebuy!


Amidst much merriment & cocktails and despite using most parts or our
bodies and some clothing items to push buttons, we were unable to
either win the fucking (nods to ND) $11MM or lose the fucking (again
to ND) $310.


Sometime around 3:30 we were too exhausted to continue so we staggered
to a halt with $325 in the kitty. I took possession of the hard
earned ticket, vowing to continue the next day, onward to riches or
ignominy.


Despite my finest efforts, I was completely flummoxed the next day by
the damn machine repeatedly giving me little dribs & drabs, but
randomly pushing our kitty upward. When I got to $632 I made the
executive decision the $30 per was enough to pay for next year's LLs
(plus I was totally bored, being by myself).


So all members of this year's ADB team will be prepaid for up to 3
last longers for 2011.


I hope you guys & gals had a great BARGE and look forward to a few
TRIP REPORTS (C'mon please, pretty please...)

Best,

Peter
