6/1 - “I’d like to thank the Academy and Manny Ramirez”

By The Stabbing Pen | June 1, 2008

During the final night in Vegas, a friend was at the Blackjack table getting his last fill of gambling.  Standing over his shoulder, me and two other people were advising and encouraging.To my friend’s left was a middle-aged man who was completely trashed.  It appeared he had a lazy eye, but since he was so fucked up, I thought maybe this eye thing was a side effect of that.  I’ve seen people’s eyes do some weird things after a lot of drinking.

After a good hand, this guy, who was a native of Boston, started thanking people for his winnings.

“I’d like to thank God, my mother, and Manny Ramirez.”

So awesome, but I think I’m gonna take a while before I go back Vegas again.
