Back when I didn't live on a block of floating ice, I played craps with Ricky at the Hard Rock Casino in LV. He was on fire. He made me hundreds of dollars with my modest bets... he must of made himself tens of thousands in a 20 minute period. The man can roll the bones... (is this thing on?) The table was in flames... the other players were whooping and hollaring... but it was only after I turned to him and said, "Hey Ricky... you're making us all rich here... smile man!" did he finally crack a smile. It was a genuine smile and a warm one. I can see how he fools people. Moral of the story... Ricky's weird... but a killer craps player.

That is a beautiful story Rube, thanks for sharing. But I bet you'd feel differently if he had turned to you all and told you to put your faith in one more roll of his dice and then when all your bets were laid he tossed the dice into the glass of a passing waitress, set the table on fire and dashed off to sit under Jimmy Hendrix's guitar where he proceeded to light up and smoke his own pants.

Who is that uncredited dude stiffly walking away from that explosion? Is this a new Terminator film? How do you not put Sigourney Weaver in your poster?

How to write like a gossip columnist
Anyone can do it!
Just keep in mind to never use your source's name, and always play up a celebrity's reaction to something using the following words:
Blast
Slam
Fuming
Here's an example:
"Latigo Flint blasted reports that his guns do not actually fire live ammunition."
Use them in combination!:
"Gil slammed fellow carnie Sal's insinuation that he got a bit too personal with a badger. "It was cold and he wasn't even there!" the one-eyed Whack 'em Cats operator fumed."
That's right, kiddies. Anyone can write a gossip column. And with the internet, anyone can publish it, too!
p.s. Don't forget to put a salacious slant on everything. And blow things out of proportion, too. In fact, you may want to change your middle name to that.
