Take the Money and Run

I just got back from spending some time at the local casino.
It's the Hard Rock Casino in Fort Lauderdale Florida and it's a ton of fun.
My friends and I play the Texas No Hold 'Em Poker instead of just throwing our money away at those automatic slot machines.
Those things are nothing but money vacuums sucking your wallet dry.
At least with the poker tables you stand a chance.
See the slot machines are all tied together into a massive computer system that knows exactly how certain types of people play.
The computer can determine how much your "likely" to bet and when your just about to give up it will let you win a few more dollars.
This should keep you there long enough for the "House" to make its money.
Now with the poker tables its totally different.
See the "House" already gets there take from each hand that's bet.
So the more hands you play, the more money will be put aside for the casino.
That's why everytime I play, I play with the aspect that I'm here to have a good time and if I come away from there with a few more bucks then I'm happy.
Now I know what your thinking.
What does this have to do with sci-fi or superheroes?
Well everytime I make a few extra bucks guess where the money goes.
To George my local comic book shop owner.
I shop at his store cause it's crazy there with everything just thrown around.
The store is called A and M Comics and its been there for many many years.
And that's how everything in this mad and wacky world works.
I work for a few dollars only to gamble it away for a few more and that's only so I have a few extra dollars to spend on comics keeping my local shop alive and kicking for years on end.
As with everything in life, It's all one big circle.
And that's why when your a few bucks ahead of the game you "Take the Money and Run!"
