"Comfortable!"  What an amazing word!  I can't believe it took me 26 years 2 realize how great the word "comfortable" really is!  Being comfortable with your looks is one thing & being comfortable with who you are, is another.  However, 2 be comfortable with somebody else is simply amazing!  It wasn't an easy road 2 take & I didn't even realize how comfortable I was, until Ståle Knutsen, one of the drunken poets @ The Karaoke Bar, said to me: "Gosh Geo, you guys look so comfortable, together...  You're the 'Bonnie & Clyde' of glassware!"

"I spent 3 days with this girl,
hanging out at the casinos 'til 5
o'clock in the morning..."

collecting glasses 4 our drinking game "Drunken Chess" & I hardly mentioned anything about my photography, the web site or The Hype.  Is that a breakthrough in modern technology or what?

Well, on Tina's last day in Vegas, we roamed around The Aladdin Casino.  We tried not 2 collect anymore glasses, but I couldn't help myself.  I had 2 find "The King".  I met this bartender named Jim, who poured out 2 glasses of water, which brought "The King & I" together.  We had so much fun stealing these glasses, that it didn't even dawn onto us, that we were winning a lot of money in the slot machines.  Ching!  Ching!  70 quarters & 750 nickels!  We even kept a bucket by our side & poured all of our FREE drinks in it.  There was just too much alcohol coming at us!  White Russians, Bourbon & Cokes, Screwdrivers & who could forget our last 2 Chess pieces, The Queens: "2 Strawberry Daiquiris, please!".

Tina flew back home 2 Sweden, before we could finish collecting all the pieces.  I ended up all alone in the Stratosphere Casino, looking like a damn drunk.  I needed 4 more Pawns (shot glasses) & once I got them, I was through.   The thrill of the game, was gone. -GEOhype, Alaska
