Sturat: Have you read any of Dustin D. Marks books? Cheating at Blackjack and Other Casino Games, and Cheating at Blackjack Squared: The Dark Side of Gambling.
I can’t say I would recommend actually trying any of his stuff out in a casino considering you could get tossed in prison, as opposed to just being barred for counting. (Which I find stupid.)
He actually has videos where he teaches everything, but they are expensive.
I haven’t seen the videos yet, but would like to. But I do believe Darwin Ortiz may be one of the most knowledgeable and skillful at the art of cheating, though he has not used his skill for such, at least not recently.
As far as counting, you should check out Knock Out Blackjack by Olaf Vancura and Ken Fuchs. It is an “unbalanced” system, and requires no adjustment for true count. (Have I lost anyone yet?)
~karma~ : Lucky snow. I would make these pics my computer background if my daughter wouldn’t complain.
Dog Crap stuffed up under the handle of the asshole neighbor’s car. He got a handfull the next morning on his way to work.
If you’re a bartender and you have a guy that’s being a dick to some hot chick, when he orders his next bottle of beer, see if you can catch her attention and then when you give him his beer smack it down kind of hard on the bar and it’ll foam up all over the place. He looks like an a-hole and you look like a hero.
Sneak up on your buddy at a bar and tap the top of his full beer bottle with your bottle and watch his foam all over the place.
and under the stupid human tricks department…
Get an empty beer bottle and fill it to the very top with water. With one hand around the neck of the bottle, smack your other palm into the top of the bottle. The hydraulic shock wave sent through the bottle when your hand hits it will push the bottom right out of the bottle.(water doesn’t compress)
Get a bar napkin, open it up and then tie a knot in each of the four corners. Then get a whole lemon or lime, place the napkin over it and give it a push down the bar. The shape of the lemon makes it roll funny and switch directions and when it’s hidden under the napkin it seems to some people that maybe there’s a mouse under there running around on the bar.
Under fun bar bets…
Bet someone they can’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour and keep it down. (milk changes the chemistry in your stomach and that much will make all but the most tolerant people barf within the hour)
Bet someone that they can’t eat 10 saltine crackers in under a minute without drinking anything. They won’t be able to do it. I got two free lunches out of my coworkers with this one. If nothing else, it’s halarious watching someone try.
Bohdi, Antiliberal, Mage, Shaf: Thanks, guys. I have some from a recent hiking outing and also from a boating session that I’ll probably put up in a week or so. I’m digging my “fatty” pics up now so I can do a “That was then, this is now” type deal. Stay tuned!
I had to reread your statement since i thought you said “i’m digging my fatty pics up now” and meaning that you are enjoying having your fatty pics up, and those snow pics certainly don’t look fatty to anyone outside of the waif/crack addict modeling business…
All is well though, since you seem to be saying you are digging out some old fat pics so you can show us the before and after…
Now with these jokes, man some of you peeps are cruel! I would consider doing some of that stuff to enemies, but not friends…lol
I can think back to college and a few typical jokes we did, things like taking someone’s towel/clothing from the communal shower at the other end of the dorm hall and replacing it with a thong, or changing someone’s cable tv feed (at college in upper michigan you couldnt get anything but cable, no broadcast channels were received there) to a vcr that had various tapes such as the fire and brimstone religious speakers running over and over again.
We did a lot of stuff with food, and other annoying things with snow, like packing it down hard over someone’s car and then dumping buckets of water on it, would take hours to remove that.
