Look for black dealers and pit bosses cause they drool over big white ass

That's a bit presumptious. They'll drool over her coz she's gorgeous.

Ok, just so long as you give me some blinkers so you don't distract me, too. :thumbup:

I always did well at the Marriott in Cairo...

I don't know why you'd do that when it's so valued in some cultures- Especially the African American and Mexican American cultures. Maybe you're livin in the wrong place Kitty? I know it would be hard to explain to friends and family that your moving to America cause they like big butts there, but I know your looking for a husband and you get more bang for your buck here...


I just saw this commercial

lol Toast, erm ok well that IS one option!

However, I believe in being happy when you look in the mirror, at the moment I am not, its not about getting a man, if you're not happy with yourself then you won't be happy with any guy no matter how much he compliments you and actually really digs you, if you're not happy within yourself having a man in your life doesn't make the slightest bit of difference!

My issues go alot deeper than that, I've had councelling before and know its something I have to deal with myself, we all have our own demons, and this is mine, fat ass and all.

So I won't be shifting to the gym to find acceptance but thanks for the advice.

Thats right, it's an option. America will always be there as a last resort for you KitKat.

I won BEME Man of the Year but I didn't make too much of it. Y'know, kept it low profile and said little but was very gratefull to all the serfs, sorry I mean; people that voted for me. There was some talk of a coup but that was just because they were afraid it would go to my head or sumfink.

True story and, by default, I won again last year cause Confi couldn't be arsed setting up a new pole or poll or pool or...whatever!

On twitter I have won a two night stay at the Beach Rotana in AD, a one night stay at Media One Hotel in Media City, a shower head that changes the colour of the water (not really but it feels like it does), and last week I won an HP laptop. On the radio I won a flat screen tv and a voucher for brunch. Meow might remember other things :)

Only saw the movie, which I liked. But it was very thin on the detail of both card counting and team play--they could've spent, say, 5 minutes on those aspects to give some more authenticity to the story. But the principles are right, even if the covert messages were a bit OTT, but it was Hollywood, after all.

The teams in the 70's and 80's did more-or-less what they show in 21, and some of the disguises were outrageous (but then so were some of the authentic clothes and hairdo's from the era). I think the eye-in-the-sky and the computer systems which lie behind them have put paid to top-end team work, but there's still scope for individual players.
