Well, Wynn had their union vote.  Not surprisingly, the union passed overwhelmingly (444-149).  I’m interested to see what happens.  There’s no guarantee that the union can get all the tokes paid back to the dealers, and if they do actually get tokes back to 100% for the dealers, what concessions the dealers will have to make.  Now that Trump Marina, Ceasars (both Atlantic City) and now Wynn have unions (so does the Argosy for that matter, but I haven’t heard about their influence) as well as the casinos in Detroit, will we start seeing a push in smaller markets such as ours to go union?

In all honesty, I don’t think there’s a damned thing a union could do for us.  Period.  I would just think it’s just another layer of apathy in a long line of it at work.

So, Joe was on the pole on crapless last night.  Some stroke was doing his thing, and Joe was figuring things out.  This guy was complaining about how slow he was and how he would be a better dice dealer than any of us and without missing a beat…

“Sir, would you like to press your bets so you don’t push the next time?”

Dammit Joe, your learning.

OK, no big deal really here, but, here it goes.

Joe’s on stick, one shooter on the game nothing going on.  All of a sudden I hear

“Step away from the microwave sir.”

WTF, Joe.

Welcome back Joe.  Hope to see some doozies here real quick.

Well, that’s gonna be one of two things, either the Grand Canyon, or Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Co.  I’m leaning toward the Grand Canyon though.

That would be “Buddy Jesus” from the movie “Dogma”.  Bet you didn’t think I would get that one, would you Frank.

So, on crapless Tuesday night.  Kelly C made a joke about how Joe (cigar in his mouth all the time) and Homer Simpson bought their pants at the same place (both blue pants).  Joe looks up and goes “where’s that at?”

Thanks again Joe.

That’s a “fast”. I just don’t remember what car company put it out.

Ok, was working on some toke committee stuff today when a nice gentleman at the MGC directed me to this little tidbit:

Pay close attention to Section 1.

Yup, supervisors couldn’t wrangle their way into our tokes anyway. And gaming being the way they are, I don’t see gaming falling for a change of title bit.
