If they don’t come prepared, they sometimes “just pee in the seat,” said Arnie Wexler, a recovered gambling addict who operates a gambling hot line and counseling service in New Jersey. “It’s not something the industry really likes to talk about.”
Wonder if the Riverside Casino has much problem with this.

The Net Neutrality debate just got alot more interesting…
LOLLAPALOOZA WEBCAST: SPONSORED/CENSORED BY AT&T?
After concluding our Sunday night show at Lollapalooza, fans informed us that portions of that performance were missing and may have been censored by AT&T during the “Blue Room” Live Lollapalooza Webcast.
When asked about the missing performance, AT&T informed Lollapalooza that portions of the show were in fact missing from the webcast, and that their content monitor had made a mistake in cutting them.
Found via a DKos article, which including the following observation:
That’s right. AT&T, like other telcos who say you can “just trust them” not to censor content in the absence of mandatory net neutrality, just did exactly what everyone who’s worried about net neutrality always believe they would do.
What’d that take? About ten seconds?

I had no idea…
Via the BBC:
“When you are actively in your eating disorder, you desperately want someone to understand, and a lot of time you find groups like the pro groups on Facebook that are supportive of you continuing your eating disorder,” she says.
The article mentions that some people go on to seek treatment, making me wonder if this phenomenon isn’t some type of elaborate bait-and-switch, but my first reaction to the idea of a ‘pro-ana’ group was to file them under NAMBLA-ish whackjobs. But unlike NAMBLA, these people seem to be more naive than predatory. Case in point, from the article:
“Hearing girls your weight or smaller say they are fat makes you feel worthless. Ana tips can push you to take it too far and thinspirational pictures give you an unattainable goal.”
Really? Wouldn’t have thought…
In the realm of things I don’t understand that other people do, I welcome Zentai.

Procurement of a green one may be necessary for the Jubi Show, however, I don’t know who we would size for one. Maybe Jamma. Maybe Guitar Tom. 😉

UPDATE – Turns out the guy is from Iowa, currently at Pizza Hut in Cedar Falls. Might be time for an interview on the show?
