RIP RGP
Years ago I used to read the usenet rec.gambling.poker newsgroup. I think I wandered over from alt.vacation.las-vegas. This is back when usenet was a big deal.
RGP had a host of colorful characters, but none was as over the top (or as annoying) as Russ Georgiev. According to Iggy - and Russ' own site - crazy Russ died last week.
Love him or hate him (hate was up about 150-1), the man had a lot to say. You could run a month's worth of uberposts just on the "best" of Russ. RGP has been dead for years but without Russ it'll be even more dead.

In other news, NO MORE TAHITI VILLAGE COMMERCIALS!
The company that promised you a free Vegas vacation, tickets to a "hot show right on the strip" and asked "can you say high roller treatment baby?" is the latest casualty of the economy. Bankrupt.
I hope Tanya Roberts can still afford to feed her family.

The Pinball Hall of Fame is moving closer to the Strip. This is surely a good thing.
