HNT - Holy Crap & Cougar

So Tuesday night I went to the Hollywood Casino with the other folks from the Autozone Liberty Bowl hospitality/behind the scenes committees as thanks for the work we do. We got to eat comped in an upstairs lounge. I gorged on fried shrimp. It was great. We had a comped bar as well. Well out of nowhere this overserved wanna-be cougar starting trying to talk smack with us while her husband just stood off in the corner. She was calling us "fagmos" because we were dressed nicely. I guess we can't all be as cool as she is. Later I got a pic with her just so I could have cougar proof. And yes, DM and I were calling her "COUGAR" to her face. She thought it was her funny nickname. Dumbass! Of course now I wonder if we would have called her that had she not tried to be funny and call us fagmos. Here's the pic

After the wanna-be Cougar disappeared, I was enjoying my vodka tonics and decided that I needed to go to the tables. I went downstairs with my buddies PF, HM, DM, Chardonnay, and T. A few of the guys go to the craps table. Some play roulette. I went to the blackjack table. I walked around the floor until I found one that I liked. I sat down with a bunch of old guys. Wait, that could have been any table. Anywho, I played blackjack for about an hour and half or so. I was up, then down, then up, then down. You know how that goes. Well, I lost a $5 hand so I put down $10. The dealer beats me again so I put down $20. The dealer beats me again so I put down $40. I tell the other guys at the table that if I lose this damn hand, I'm walking away because someone upstairs is trying to tell me something. I get a 6 and then a 4. I double down and suddenly have $80 on the table in front of me. My heart stops realizing what I just did. The dealer takes the card and puts it face down on the table in front of me. I said that was ok, but the suspense was killing me. A few of the other guys bust. Then the dealer hits 20. She turns over my card and I have an Ace. My friends, I shit you not. I couldn't believe it, but I followed the rules and said I was done. I cashed in all my $5 chips for bigger ones and went to the casino cashier. I then went upstairs to the bar for another comped cocktail. And this is my HNT with what I was holding
I have never won like that at the casinos. I know it's chump change, but I'm pretty happy to have the extra scratch. And yes, that is my Vodka Tonic at the top.
Happy HNT yall.
