There are no stars here.
In fact, there are no stars within 30 miles of Vegas. I looked up as I approached the city 30 miles out and realized that there were stars behind me, but none in front or above. The light pollution coming off this city is so intense that I could see the glow from 90 miles away, I was still in Arizona (being in Arizona is, incidentlly a gut wrenching experience, I nearly vomited all over the crappy rental car in the 5 minutes I was there, I don't know how Roger does it).
But I love this place despite the lack of stars, there is money here, opulence beyond all reason, or even belief, but no class at all. And mixed together are perhaps the funniest elements of America. After the billboards advertising the adult mega stores in one extolling the virtues of God, and across from the giant picture of a stripper is one of Donnie and Marie Osmond, all squeaky clean.
Oh and there are churches in the strip malls.
But of course you won't see this tonight so I can't ask you all were the best (read, most fucked up) place in Vegas is, because despite staying in the nicest goddamn room I've ever been in (there are more big screen TVs in this room than in some third world countries, and the toilets have buttons on them, though I dare not press them.) the internet is broken.
I just watched my father lose a thousand dollars in winnings. In about an hour. It's insidious really, as I'm trying to get him to quit while he's ahead, the waitress comes in and keeps getting him more wasted (I swear she spiked my coffee too).
I for my part got up 5 dollars and change, and am holding onto it with a deathgrip, just so I can say I'm the only person to leave Vegas with more money than I started this week. Unless of course the internet starts working, and you get to read this in time to give me something to spend it on something more interesting than virtual slot mchines. (Seriously, I want my giant pile of quarters, when the fuck did slot machines pay out little slips of paper with your total losses instead of quarters?).
The internet now works apparently, its the most fucked up thing I've seen, and informs me that I can pay or get access to certain free sites (which I would never consider visiting).
I figure I should check the price so I can figure out how much I'm not paying them before looking for a Starbucks, and it turns out the price is $0.00.
everyone should experience vegas. i think there's a reason so many movies take place there. it doesn't seem like it should exist - but it does.
There is some kind of beeping. It's coming from the kitchenette and won't go off if you stand in the area, we already had the facilities people up here.
Beep beep beep beep.
Beep.
I finally got on the phone with some people and my drunk assed brother hung up the phone on me. I need an ax.
:vom:
Keep going, Requia. We'll get a novel out of this yet.
Vegas, alongside Disneyland, represents most of what is rotten and wrong about the American Nightmare™.
I have some thoughts on this, but I'd like Requia's say-so before I post them, because I don't want to hijack the thread.
This thread is great! :lulz:

I'm with you on Disney, but not with Vegas. I think Vegas represents everything that is fantastic about North America.
Someday I'd like to go to Vegas to enjoy the free drinks and the free food and the free horrormirth.
I believe that I have enough self control and dignity to refrain from gambling. In a sort of morbid curiosity, I feel the need to challenge myself and see if that's actually true.
Also, I like drinks, food, and horrormirth, especially when they're free.

I was there recently... maybe I was in the wrong places but there's not much that's free there that I saw. I only gambled once... I played the same $20 in blackjack for an hour, and went I went up $5 I packed it in. The house always wins? Not with Hoopla around!

HA! I literally live 30 minutes from Dollywood.
Vegas is on point for tourism in a way that's unmatched, and my only complaint with the entire city is the hooker-card flippers.
Or the cost of living.
Or the tuition for UNLV.

Haven't paid for a hooker yet, and I care not who they hire for this.
In all honesty i'd be most terrified if one of the inbred backwoods appalachian mountain peoples from around here were flipping cards at me through toothless smiles with no shoes on their feet. Especially if they included a free miniature green old testament with every card.

Well yes, at least these beaners believe in God and aren't savages; besides, all the Indians are drunkards and who knows what theyd do to you eventually at one point or another, they cant control themselves; im sure they would use it all up on gambling and drugs anyhow.

Pat Buchanan is fine, because hes against the general debauchery brought forth by all the new generations; Palin is a virtous person, but she should focus on her family, if she did, her daughter probably wouldnt have strayed; id rather vote for Dick Cheney, he was active as he could be in the war against terrorists and evil, and has close ties with the Vatican.

Well, you people all look kind of alike, right? You should wear signs or something. That way we can properly classify you when we scoop your delerium tremens asses off the pavement on any given morning, after a long night of drinking Sterno and raping Aini (I mean, if the Black guys didn't get her first)*.

Keep going, Requia. We'll get a novel out of this yet.
I have every intention, I have a lot of rewriting to do (and even more stories to tell) once I'm at a computer that has a keyboard I can get more than 5 words a minute at (I have no idea how people survive with only laptops). For now my brother and his friends want to drag me out to god knows where.
The wireless goes in an out, and room service doesn't understand what I mean when I ask for Cat-5 cable (there's some non techy word I should be using, which I will remember if I ever stop drinking spiked coffee, or maybe I should ask for cat-6), so you may not see me again until Friday (Or Febuary).
Go ahead and rant Roger, I'll probably start a new thread and hopefully avoid the derail once I get some real writing started.
Yeah. You know, as much as I whine endlessly about my housemate and my stupid love life (I swear I do try to keep it quarantined) neither I nor anyone else here can come anywhere close to touching the whole "I'm so awesome 'cause of how much of a freak I am!" that Aini is able to present in massive volume. I mean, this summer I had the time of my life drenched in what was, for me, comparative glamor, going to gallery openings and cocktail parties and being wooed, fed, beveraged, photographed and painted by the local talent, but I didn't spend every fucking post going "OMG YOU GUYS GUESS HOW AWESOME I AM!"
For one thing, cultivating a reputation as a gallery-going bourgeoisie would dent my reputation as an earthmuffin pervert (LOL), and for another, what the fuck, nobody cares. That's not the real shit. People don't want to hear an endless stream of how awesome you are. That's just straight-up insecurity, and it's more irritating and depressing than impressive. We all do it sometimes, but the ALL THE TIME thing is either hilarious or wearying, depending.
And she tells the same fucking stories over and over again, as well. She's always SO excited to find someone who might not yet have heard that she ran away with a freakshow. And then she talks about all the freaks, and about her split tongue, and her act. That's it. As if that's her whole personality.
Well, I guess apparently it is.
Oddly, the derail works just as well with the original title.
1. I never liked Dags all that much, even before I realized that he either was Eric or was an Eric sympathizer. This thread does much to confirm my opinion. You date a ghost-hunting stripper and yet you knock Vegas for being classless because there are latino hawkers handing off ads for hookers? really?
2. Vegas IS awful. But not for the reasons given ITT. Those are the only GOOD things about Vegas.
3. Aini is a man, FYI, and would be one of the most masterful trolls ever perpetrated here if it weren't for the fact that he's actually just completely insane.

3. Aini is a man, FYI, and would be one of the most masterful trolls ever perpetrated here if it weren't for the fact that he's actually just completely insane.
Aini is a man, and a tranny, and although you all know my opinion on that I have no problem using whatever pronoun people assign to themselves because I do not actually care. YOU could start insisting I refer to you as "she" and even though I would find it unbelievably stupid, I'd go along with it because I think the hang-up on pronouns in general, to define who you are and how you behave, is retarded. Aini for some reason just HAS to consider herself female in order to look and behave the way she wants to dress and behave. FINE.
I am an effeminate mostly gay man trapped in a woman's body. I'm fabulous, though, so you can refer to me as "she".
I think the coffee was spiked at breakfast too. The distilled crazy that permeates this place might be making me paranoid though.
Vegas is better, and worse, once you get out of the Casino I started in. Out on the street the unattractive resort to hawking the services of the attractive and shameless, but while people are more than happy to shove pictures of smut in my face the real thing is lacking, unless you ask for it, unlike the hotel where the waitresses are shoving their cleavage (which the uniforms all show off) in the face of aging Japanese businessmen.
We went to the New Yorker, which is I suppose more family oriented. There is an arcade there where you can teach your children to gamble, but instead of cash they win cheap toys that were bought for far less than the cost of playing a game. I finally got my bucket full of quarters from a slot machine called 'change' which has this amazing tendency to always let you break even, then blew the bucket of quarters on cheezy arcade. And an 'Irish' pub of fairly convincing actors (and surprisingly decent prices and bar food) where I got hammered with my brother and his friends (and played drinking games with what was left of my bucket).
I also found Roger a new toilet plunger in that bar. Pictures coming as soon as I get them out of the camera.

Oh, I actually didn't realize that anyone else already knew that. I was convinced I had been keeping the existence of her scrotum a secret for the last 4 or 5 years.

I think EVERYONE else already knows it. She's kind of proud of it, because it, you know, enhances her freakiness. I kind of think she
wants to be rejected for being a freak, so she'd have something to rail against. It'd make her feel special, instead of the usual response of "oh, ok. And?"

I thought "it" was a girl.
Being oppositional sometimes its just a symptom of being histrionic.
I thought Aini was cool until I found out she was a racist. She helped me work through some shit, summer of 2007, so I owe her at least that in respect. So I just stay away from her.
But this thread isn't about that, its about Requia's trip through Vegas.

NO, ITS ABOUT Da6s BEING A RACIST REDNECK COCKGOBBLERIndeed.
Aini was a guy? Shit, I didn't know that. I must be slow.
I had no opinion of her until she opened up about her blatant racism. And I don't hate her for it or anything, as much as I think racism is stupid and pointless I don't really blame someone for how they feel. We mostly can't help that. Doesn't mean I want to talk to her other than to mock her mercilessly about it, though. She can be a he, she, they, hir, shim, whateverthefuck, but she's still racist.
Wait, is Aini clinically transgendered, or just genderqueer?

I would assume that she's transgendered, as in she was born male and is living her life as a female.
Shit, you guys really didn't know?

I don't remember. :( Possibly she told me in confidence? If so I don't feel bad about it because I didn't spill the beans.
Also, I don't know why she would tell me, I'm 1/8 rapist.
:lord: OMG
So, yeah. Vegas. Hell of a town...

yeah, I mean, I couldn't give less of a shit about what kind of plumbing aini has or how she chooses to identify herself (aside from the fact that she tried to meet me IRL in michigan under the pretense of, y'know, having a vagina, but I digress), I just brought it up because I didn't think it was fair to not share with the rest of you the delicious idiocy that this one fact adds to her claims of "I'm a racist because black men keep raping me."
I think maybe I just assumed. Because, one, look at her pics, and, two, NO girl who was born a girl makes such a big deal about being a cute girl, or is constantly talking about how other people see her as this cute girl, etc etc etc. Seriously, the closest thing to someone who made that big a deal about being female was PurpleEris, and it wasn't that close. And she's super-into what a great big freak she is so that sorta ties in.
OR, maybe she dropped it in chat one day and I don't remember it.
EITHER
SUN RA was totally racist, but he fuckin rocks.
OR
Those hormones can fuck with a girl. And then there's Wisconsin.
OR, OR
Ed Gein was comfortable with his sexuality. But Dahmer was racist.
Aini would fit in well here.
Too sore to write. I got completely lost on the strip, and wandered around for a while before I gave in and flagged down a cab.
It does not help that the one map I could find were all inside twisty passageways of casinos, and that once you finally find your way out you have no idea at all what way North is (The previously mentioned lack of stars do not help, leaving Salt Lake's grid system is always a bit disorienting, but I can barely tell left from right here once the sun goes down).
This is my last night here. Thank God for small favors.

Practice. Seriously, I found laptops awkward too, when I first started using them, but after a few months you're roaring away with the typing.

What bothers me about laptops is the proximity of the screen to the keyboard (and the size of the screen itself), also the integrated mouse is such a bitch to handle efficiently.
I love my PC, gives me more bang for my buck and feels more ergonomical.

Still no clue who eric is. Nor why the name dags still sticks with me.
Also, some of you guys really didn't know about Aini? She talked about it in IRC a few times, as I recall. Probably a couple of years back.
Nope. I had no idea.
The extent of my knowledge of Aini, until this thread, was that she was a freak show performer who ran a forum with Eric, claimed that a series of rapes was the excuse for her racism, ate fire, and had a split tongue. The end.
Now I have one more piece of information and I still don't care.
Wow, I didn't know about the split tongue ...
Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger on January 06, 2010, 04:05:20 PM
Vegas, alongside Disneyland, represents most of what is rotten and wrong about the American Nightmare™.
I have some thoughts on this, but I'd like Requia's say-so before I post them, because I don't want to hijack the thread.
i love Vegas and Disneyland
WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?!!?!?!?!?!? :lulz:
Oh i also think Vegas killed Manhattan for me, or at least the initial "omg the sheer size of it and blah blah blah shock and awe of the city." I got there, and thought "ok, another city."
Requia hit up the bellagio and the forum shop at ceasers, then head over to the mirage for the dolphins and the beatles "love" show. Beyond awesome. the LUX at the Luxor is an all right club. There is a giant warehouse full of sex toys but i can't remember the name of it. :(

Probably both!
Aini is old news. you guys were supposed to pick up and run with the Dags/Eric connection reveal instead.
Also, Vegas still sucks. And NEVER make the mistake of driving down the strip in the daytime. That fucking desert sun reflects of that fucking reflective-gold-mirrored Trump casino and makes your fucking head want to fucking explode through your fucking sinuses.

:cry: I am too new to know who either Dags or Eric are.
I was there, but at that age I was not perspicacious or aware enough to take any of it in.
I am out of Vegas, a process that took far far to long. There is a massive market for short range teleportation that will get you out of the place when you press a panic button. That there are still people there has to be the worst thing about the place. The cab drivers and asshole waiters and strippers and dealers. They all have to *live* there. For months at the least, but more likely for years, or even a lifetime.
