casino

A gambling house where millions of suckers part with their change, or their credit cards, or even their retirement savings, just for a chance to win that $2.5 million jackpot which will have a 1/987,150,666,074 chance of occuring in their lifetimes. Those poor folks should have remembered the Law of Large Numbers they learned in Statistics class, but they probably skipped class that day.

The one good thing about casinos is that the pawn shops right next to them usually have all sorts of neat, cheap shit that compulsive gamblers trade for some cash. I even got a Rolex watch for half the price of that in the mall.

tmnt

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Was a good cartoon that appeared in the late 1980s and ended in the early 1990s when some gay show called Power Rangers gained popularity with the kids. TMNT was based on the more violent and graphic comic book series. Featured four turtle ninjas and their rat sensei fighting against the minions of an evil ninja named Shredder.

Cowabunga! Turtle Power!

The first two TMNT movies were pretty cool.
