    Just saw this on tv this morning. She testifies today. Don't you think erin is really comfortable in her body? Proud she is in good shape? Being naked for her I would think is no big deal. The way she was shown naked is disgusting and just wrong on so many levels but for 75m? Lol.

    I may have qualified back in 2002 but in 2016 maybe not..

    In 2002 I went on my first Vegas trip. It was for March Madness 2002. Of course, 9/11 had happened the year previous, and there were rumors that the Tourney might be cancelled due to impending invasion of Iraq. Fuck it, we were going anyways. Cast of characters were myself, my friends R and B, and their friend and college roommate D who I had met before but barely knew.

    R and B were leaving from Manchester airport, I was leaving from Boston, and D was leaving from West Virginia where he lived at the time.

    I got to my layover in Chicago and found out that R and B had missed their flight! Their excuse? They decided to hang out before security (which was now a disaster due to 9.11) and were discussing baseball lineups from the 80's. I kid you not. Remember that Willie Hernandez closed from the 84 Tigers was more important than making their flight. So after being told no flights were available until Friday (we were flying on Wednesday) they made plans to fly in to LAX and drive to Vegas to arrive at 4am Thursday morning.

    So, we land an hour early. The whole plane is enthused. I am bemused. D, who I've met 3 times isn't arriving until 6pm. I have arrived at 1030 am. I taxi over to TI, and leave my bag and...go play double deck black jack.

    I have a good run. I'm probably up about 300 bucks over the course of 3-4 hours. Now, at the time, I had just graduated law school, and I didn't have a job with a big firm. I was working as a DA and was getting paid like a Burger King cook. Being up 300 bucks was a ton of money at that point. As I had started to give some money back the dealer who had been back and forth said you should bank your win. Of course, over the past 3-4 hours I had been happily sucking down free drinks as well.

    So, I take his advice, walk about 20 yards...and sit down at a 6-8 deck shoe game, where I plant my flag for hours. I go on a ridiculous heater. D arrives and I greet him like he's my frat brother. By 7 pm, I had run my initial buy in from the double deck game of 100 bucks to about 4400 dollars. I was also extremely drunk. I was smoking a cigar, had my arm around the girl next to me who was out there to get married on Saturday. I was drinking gin and tonics like they were Popeye's spinach. A couple hours later D grabbed an empty seat at the table, took a look at me, and said...you need to shut it down and go to sleep. Youre hammered.

    And I was, but my response was to stand up, grin, flip him the double freedom rockets, sit down and continue to bet 150-200 bucks a hand.

    Approximately 20 minutes later I swing my arm drunkenly and spill gin and tonic all over the table. Oops. For some reason they don't kick me off the table. The rest of the night is a blur.

    Fast forward to 4am. I have passed out fully clothed, with shoes on, in a dracula position on the bed. There's loud knocking on the door..it's R and B who drove from LAX to Vegas (hearing "In Da Club" about 74 times during the drive). I lurch out of bed and am pleased to find that my wallet is still in my jeans, and I have chips in my pocket! 5 black chips! I won 400 bucks last night...which had my pleased until D reminded me (or informed me, because I really don't recall being up as much as I was) I managed to drunkenly donk off 4000 of my chips in a drunken haze. Oh well....

    The codicil to this is the next time we went back, I called to see if I could get a comp room. Yes Mr. Stardawg, we have you at 16 hours of black jack at an average bet of 127 dollars a hand, we'd love to comp your room.....

    Now that average bet also included about 8 hours of me playing blackjack at 10 bucks a hand as well, so I guess I was betting 300-400 bucks a hand at times. Honestly it's a miracle I walked away with 500 bucks...

    Since then we've had members of the trip lock themselves out of the room looking for the bathroom, another friend passed out on the hopper in the Gallagher's steakhouse bathroom, (we thought he bailed on us), I got taken for lap dances at Sapphires after I lost money with 4 aces in 7 card stud (lost to a straight flush, the dude won 2200 bucks on a jackpot and the pot and felt bad for me...of course now if I lost a hand with 4 aces, I'd win a gigantic bad beat jackpot...good timing...) etc etc. Small potatoes for this site i know, but amusing all the same.

    Unfortunately it's mostly died down. The group trips now feature drunken golf, occasional winning runs at craps and blackjack and normal hilarity. My solo trips feature the same when I can tag along with a group at golf, and better eating, since my friends idea of fine dining is Sbarro.

    All my stories are pretty tame too since I don't gamble near as much as everyone else does but I will ask anyway - Does drunkenly leaving a blackjack table to find a quiet corner in the casino bathroom to pretend cry while calling the Airline and convincing them your friend died so you can't make your flight, because you've been killing the tables for 2 days straight and don't want to go home yet count as degenerate level? Haha

    I think she knows that she is not getting 75 million. I think it's just to show everyone how humiliated she is. I don't know anything about her dating life but some women don't show their naked bodies to men casually. If she's more conservative in her sex life, it must hurt to know that it's not something that's for the eyes of her man only. People make jokes when a man enters a relationship with a woman whose body we can google. Women from porn stars to Kim k. Now Erin Andrews knows that her name is on that list

    Nice!

    I've not gone that far that but have extended the trip. Woke up and stumbled downstairs to ask for another 1-2 nights. Host office approved. Called the airline and changed the flight.

    I'm always plotting as to how I can extend the trip. My last words to my boss before I leave are always "don't be shocked if I stay longer. If I'm on a heater I'm staying"

    Yes you are a HAPPY LAS VEGAS DEGENERATE! This story reminds me of what I did... A year or so ago I went to the Cosmo with my friend J, we were there for PT's party basically. We went from Thurs til Sunday I think.. Saturday night came around and time for PT's party. It was wild (you should check out that TR) Long story short, we were still up at 4, 5, 6 and the sun started coming up so closed all the blinds because in the shape I was in you don't want to see any light let alone the rising sun. 7am, 8, 9 still up and our flight was at 4. 10am, 11,12, 1 and now I know there is NO WAY in can get on the flight. I tell my friend J who has more money than god I just cant make it as im dying at this point. Couldn't breath, counting cottage cheese on the ceiling, didn't eat in "FOOD" in 2 days and im just curled up in bed. J says no problem change the reservation for later. Its only 1pm so after dark I maybe will have slept and I might be ok to leave at 8pm? So I call and change the flight for both of us and it cost me an additional 150 for the both of us. It now gets to be 5pm and still feeling the same so I tell j I cant do it.. Call the airlines change the flight to 11pm which is there last flight to Bur. There goes another 150. Of course cant make that one and again call the airlines and make a 10am flight. Next morning im like brand new and we head to the airport. To add insult to injury I tell J it was bottom line the changes cost 200 more each which I put on my CC he said great. Now I just lost 8k I think that trip plus a lot of "EXTRA" money on tips and other incidentals. J paid for nothing including tips as it was all on my comps and cc. He was there on my coattails which is fine also. J won like 2k for the trip.. I said yes it was 200 more each with my hand out. He gave me a low 5 and said its on me.. Asshole.

    These are making me feel better, props to each and every one of you... I have a couple of my own (they probably don't compare to others) here we go.

    1. Had a shitty day at work, in a job I hated. At about 11am (thurs) I fake took a call on my cell phone, acted shocked and told them that a family member was just taken to the hospital and that I had to leave immediately. Got in my car, grabbed some clothes and drove directly to Detroit for the next flight out. Forgot to call in the next day (Friday) and when HR questioned me, I told them I was so distraught from the matter that it completely slipped my mind..... they still wrote me up.

    2. A Las Vegas poker dealer came to my wedding

    3. After my wedding reception and the guests had returned to their hotels and I had finished consummating. I immediately headed down to play some craps. My tie and shirt undone, looking disheveled and completely shitfaced from the open bar at 4am. My head hung low at the table and one of the stickmen told me to go to bed, I agreed. I wondered/stumbled around seemingly forever trying to find the elevators to my room. Security came up on both sides of me and offered to help. They asked where I was staying, and I said "here". They asked my room number and I said "Presidential Suite" they asked again, and I said the same. "Sir, we want to help you if you can tell us your room number" I said "Obama Suite". They weren't buying it, this bum can't be in the presidential suite. "Ok, if you don't know you number, can we have your name" and I said "16022" and one guard said something like "oh shit, that's the presidential suite number". They helped me to my room, nice guys. I went back to the room and ate all the remaining cake.
