3. Yikes! That's a bad place for that!

Folks will be loathe to evac if they've got their money down.

[Ian David]

4. Cowards cut and run from the blackjack table...

Is this in Mean Jean Schmidthead's district?

[Drum]

8. LOL!

:rofl:

I was just in Las Vegas, and can imagine a lot of people in those casinos seriously debating whether to evacuate or to keep on wishin' with a pair of kings...sort of upping the ante, as it were.

6. a package full of money? i might have left one too.

can you imagine the bomb squad blowing up millions of dollars because the package looked suspicious? damn--some people don't carry a purse!

[merci_me]

7. Excuse me, but

is this anywhere near a city or town. A lot of us don't know what the hell the Argosy Hotel is and Ohio is a large state with lots of large cities. Plus many of us have a lot of family and friends in Ohio. A clue would be nice.

It's on a Riverboat.

Because Jesus doesn't care if you gamble in a boat. It's not like he can walk on water or something.

11. It looks like Indiana, not Ohio... yes?

I wish news outlets would start clearly marking the STATE that things are in, now that people from all over the world read their internets.

[Blue Diadem]

13. I'm thinking it's in Indiana

I think that casino must be near the Ky/Ind/Oh border.

21. Indiana was where they practiced the Terror Alert

for NSA

I'm not surprised at all Bush & Cheney has been threatening this

[TomClash]

12. Cash in those chips! nt

[schrodinger_I]

That's it...Raise the Terror Warning Alert Level to..... umm... Plaid!!!!

15. Ma'am! Ma'am!

You forgot your purse! And I fed your dog, made your kids lunch, and pruned the trees in your backyard.

Why do WestJetters care so much? Because we're also Westjet owners.

16. Actually

If you wanna do alot of damage a place like a large casino would be ideal, especially ones with lots of people crammed together. It's probably nothing though, because they would have picked a busier night.
