But this time around, I'm not interested in slots. For starters, I'm going with a huge group who, if the "itinerary" for the day is any indication, will be plastered before we leave Maryland. Then, I'm auctioning off a bottle of Bombay Sapphire on behalf of a charity event that I'm helping with (because nothing goes together better than Catholic kids and booze, but that's another story), and I'm thinking of putting together a batch of Witches' Brew as my own personal contribution to the days' activities.
So, clearly, games of skill are out. I'd probably make a ton of stupid mistakes (19? Sure, go ahead and hit me!), and almost certainly get myself arrested by beaning some little old lady with a die , attempting to play craps. Roulette's a possibility, but spinning wheels and alcohol don't tend to go together real well either.
So that leaves...what? Texas hold 'em? I've played plenty of friendly games and online tourneys after a few glasses of wine. It's a distinct possibility I could hold my own. Plus, I've memorized most of the rules, if not the exact order of what beats what (two pair beats trips, right?). I could probably hold my own at a table if I found one with a small buy in.
But still, there has to be something else that I haven't yet thought of. Beyond, of course, wandering the boardwalk and pretending to be a Miss America contestant. Then again, the pageant hasn't been held in AC since 2005(?), and I haven't aspired to put a crown on my head since I was 17.
Right, so if there are any ideas, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just stick to slots (and the free drinks that come with them).
