You don't have to tell me, Scoop. Have you ever read a mob book like "Donnie Brasco" where they mention a person and then found a picture of yourself sitting on the guy's lap at Disneyland? I have.

I enjoyed the link. I love Jazz.

We have some crazy conventions here. Some good, some not so good, but hell, why not? Before Sheldon kicked AVN out of his hotel, the Grand Lux used to have to lock up their utility rooms during that convention to prevent people from doing nefarious things next to the water heater and mops. Vegas, baby.

For sure, but getting "in" with them is a tough nut to crack.... and they're a salty bunch!
