Girl Scouts seems a lot cooler now than it was when I was a kid...

] Buckle up your seatbelts: "The Italian Job" is returning

If you didn't see it already, go see it. I'll probably go see it again. It was a fantastic movie, very deserving of re-release.

] "I walked around the G.M.A.'s," said Mr. Christian, of

Quite possibly the best quote of all time.

] "The Mohegan Sun replicates the outrageous sensibility of
] Sun City. Its profitability is equally immoderate. This
] year it became Connecticut's and Indian country's second
] billion-dollar casino (after Foxwoods) when annual
] revenue hit 10 figures. The 32% increase over last year
] follows the opening of a second complex, which makes the
] Mohegan Sun's total gaming area larger than the combined
] area of the Mirage, Stardust and Tropicana casinos on the
] Las Vegas Strip."

I love Mohegan Sun. It's beautiful and fun. I never win there. Foxwoods is nice, too (and bigger) and I always win hundreds there. I like the Indian casinos. I like living 15 minutes from both of them. I wish I were part Indian so I could win even more money.

Look Who's Cashing in at Indian Casinos

Hell. I'll vacation on Phuket island. Sounds like a blast to me!
