ATLANTIC CITY's PROBLEMS

[olds442jetaway]

Very interesting article on a site called next city.org about Atlantic City. If you type in Atlantic City Problems, it will come up. Among other things, it talks about the tens of millions and more to come on the books that Atlantic City owes casinos in the way of tax refunds because the casinos have not met revenue projections. I know nothing about this site or its accuarcy. It was a very interesting read though and if accuarte, does not bode well at all for the future of A/C casinos.

DaBurglar in a different forum here you asked Bob Dancer a question. Now in this forum you are back to screwing with him by misspelling his name, what did he do to you?wtf?Ted, you are totally ridiculous.....either you are seriously ill, or you are just a miserable hypocritical shallow social outcast....or perhaps you are just not a nice person.Bob dancer is the closest thin g we have to a celebrity on this site, and he is clearly THE Authority on Video Poker and how it is practiced and run in today's gaming market.  I play around with the spelling of his first name as my own, SILLY (intentionally silly) way to get in some good natured ribbing, perhaps to see if he is "grounded" despite his stature, or perhaps to see if he even cares or notices....he does not seem to notice or care.   I guess I do it to amuse myself and perhaps a few others on this site who, by now, know and understand my sense of humor and personality and maybe get a chuckle out of it as well.What is VERY clear however is this:   You absolutely DO NOT like me, my humor, my writing, my thoughts, my points.....everything.    The only person who is bothered by my playing around with Bob's name is YOU.     Why dont you stop replying (or even reading) my posts in the ridiculous, semi-stalking manner that you do and concentrate on improving and enjoying what life you have left on this earth.    If you do not already know it, OTHER people/posters on this site see what you are doing and notice what is going on......If it does not bother Bob, why should it bother you?

Daburglar when you mis-spell a person's name like you do, it isn't funny; it's rude and ill-mannered.

As for your sense of humor, I do not find you funny and I have a great sense of humor.

I agree that Bob Dancer is an authority on video poker but yet when he offers you advice on your play; you do not take his advice.

My life is fine and I have no plans on changing it, short term or long term.

As I have stated before, I have the right, same as you, to post here in this OPEN forum as long as I follow the rules of the forum. It may suit you to refresh yourself of the posting rules here.

I never said that your constant misspelling of Bob Dancer's name bothered me; I merely posed the question to you asking why you did it.

In closing I am none of what you stated in your first paragraph; I have thousands of friends, I have a fantastic income that I am also very charitable with, I love life. I just do not like you.

I just do not like you.Ok stop Mr. Tedlark.....just stop.....you are doing it again, you are going too far and embarrassing yourself, and it is not my intention to ever allow things to get this personal or nasty or hurtful or whatever........I mean, do you even see how this ridiculous post makes you look like a total whackjob???   what are you doing????look, open forum or not, freedom of speech or whatever the f--k..........I am asking you, nay IMPLORING you, if you really truly do not "get" or understand my sense of humor or my use of sarcasm or hyperbole to make a point or enliven my posts, then you and your thousands of friends  just cross the street and leave them (and me) alone.    I'm just devastated that I am not one of " tedlak's (<---- honest misspelling) thousands", and won't be getting any of that fantastic income in the form of charitable contributions.....in fact I better hide any and all pictures of myself before  tedlurk (honest mistake) see's them, or else, when I am sitting in my wheelchariot on the corner of Tropicana and the Vegas Strip with a cup in my lap and I am drooling from the heat, he wont put a nickel in my cup I hope I meet Billyjoe sometime soon, so he can get to know me, and report back to the forum community just who and what I am really all about, and then maybe.....just maybe, I can join tedlork's thousands (ok, now this one is misspelled intentional.....because "lork" sounds funny when you say it in a low deep voice)
