I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

This makes me kind of sad. I miss 'old' Vegas.

Yeah, yeah, mafia whatever. The mob casinos had a certain charm that the current Disneyfied Vegas lacks.
We, the HK Brigade, do hereby salute you, Marley, for your steadfast devotion to ontopicosity. Well done, sir!
