Tecs! Don't laugh at AA's sandwich!

Ministry of Equality? Equality police. Equality courts. Equality prison. Equality chair.

Churrascaria in Vegas: First Bismarck-to-Ulaanbaatar Stop

Vegas rulz!

Well, at least in one category.

MFT Contra Recycling

All this shit went down just before I got to town. The Southern Nevada Health District discovered that vials of medicine were, get this, being reused. Some Shyster lawyer is likely going to defend this group of people, probably arguing something silly like how the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada potentially exposed 40,000 patients to hepatitis and HIV because they were recycling biohazard medical supplies.

Now, we’re [journalists covering this story] not doctors, despite what it says on the fancy medical degree we created using our office laser printer, but even we know that re-using syringes in vials of medicine is something only a greedy, criminally incompetent physician demonstrating depraved indifference to human life and suffering would do. Allegedly. (We also printed out a law degree.)

JJ's NASCAR's UAW Dodge 400, Las Vegas, NV...

JJ, aren't you interested in things that go fast and turn left? You should see all the NASCAR fans around town. Pepe, it's a United Auto Workers (UAW) event, too. Are you coming for the big day? Coincidentally, Busch Light sales are way up... [see redneck pet carrier below.]

Dire Times in Sin City...

Hey, do any of you profs do this? Check it out:

After missing a week of classes for personal reasons, [Professor] Solomon returned to school and offered his students a refund on their tuition for the time he'd missed... what would happen if others around here [Las Vegas] started giving refunds for promised services they failed to render?

There would be a lot of lap dancers looking for work -- and a bunch of politicians, too. (As a rule, lap dancers are distinguishable from local politicians because they actually wear G-strings when customers flash the cash. Politicians, well, let's just say they aren't as modest.)

Middle-Aged Anarchist

Tholen, 53, wouldn't say much more about Von Bergendorff or the discovery Thursday of several vials of ricin, which is deadly in minuscule amounts, at the man's extended-stay hotel room on Valley View Boulevard near Flamingo Road... Adding to the mystery, police said late Friday that firearms, an "anarchist-type textbook" and castor beans, from which ricin is made, were found in the room where the poison was discovered.

MFT is Vegas Bound, Call Me Doubledown!

Alright, the wheels are in motion. The mandatory two week notice is in. I'll be on my way to moving to Las Vegas at the end of the month (or the first week in March). I'm so looking forward to moving back to a part of America.

mft returns via Las Vegas, Nevada...

It's difficult to gauge, but after 30 hours of trans-Pacific travel (from Ulaan Bataar via Seoul via San Francisco via LAX to Sin City, Nevada), I have finally made it Stateside. Pics are pending (not wanting to overwhelm the blog, I'll post just a couple). The first order of business when I returned was to get a REAL slice of pizza, and I found a pretty decent place in San Francisco International that did 'em up all wood-fired and such in the Domestic terminal area. That's all for now...

Vegas fire

It doesn't sound like it's too big of a problem, and not terror related. Perhaps a couple welders who accidentally started the fire.

My sister took the photos you see here from her office or the parking ramp across from the Monte Carlo. It doesn't sound like anyone was hurt, either.
