Since I was released from the prison ship and my bowl of moldy rice a day that I was forced to share with scurvy rodents, the halfway house sentence has been even more nail-biting strenuous and miserable. We’ve been flying at projects like a speed freak who move in with the cooker. I feel like a chained Roman slave trying to pump the site, kick off Nuttboy’s bike, find a book agent and straighten up the headquarters. Then Friday blew in like a mysterious fog with a Quervo label stuck to the mist.
Two lonely chicks rolled in from Washington State. One dark-haired babe riding a Evo Dyna Glide and the other was a buffed auburn haired looker on a Twin Cam softail. Both bikes were covered with gear and mud. They didn’t say much, just unloaded their scoots, asked what was for dinner and pulled a fifth of Quervo out of their saddlebags. So began the weekend. We better get to the news before my hangover kicks in:
From The Blonde Archives
A blonde and a brunette were talking one day. The brunette said that her boyfriend had a slight dandruff problem but she gave him “Head and Shoulders” and it cleared it up. The blonde asked inquisitively, “How do you give shoulders?”
LAUGHLIN BATTLE GROUND WEEKEND
Rival motorcycle gangs clashed in a southern Nevada casino early Saturday, leaving three people dead, 11 wounded and prompting authorities to lock down the entire town for a short time, authorities said.
Arizona’s Bullhead City Fire Department spokesman Larry Tunforss said Nevada officials were again allowing people in and out of Laughlin, Nevada, after sealing off the town to search for anyone connected with the brawl that broke out at Harrah’s Laughlin Casino.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police revised the death toll down from four to three late Saturday morning — without explanation — and said that one suspect was in custody.
“Numerous others are being questioned in this intensive investigation,” the police statement said. “Sixty to 70 participants are believed to be members of rival motorcycle gangs.”
The fight broke out at 2:13 a.m. (5:13 a.m. EDT). Police said it started with a fist fight between Hell’s Angels members and members of the Mongols motorcycle club.
Two men identified as shooters were among the wounded, according to Tunforss. Bullhead City, just across the Colorado River from Laughlin — about 80 miles south of Las Vegas — responded first to the incident.
Laughlin, which has a year-round population of about 8,000, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the “River Run,” which annually draws 50,000 to 80,000 motorcycle enthusiasts, including Hell’s Angels.
By midmorning, Tunforss said, only Harrah’s remained closed.
Las Vegas police SWAT teams were in the Harrah’s hotel searching room-to-room for anyone else who may be connected with the shootings, he said.
Tunforss said 10 wounded men were taken to Western Arizona Regional Medical Center in Bullhead City and another was airlifted to Las Vegas.
Four of the 10 men taken to Bullhead City were later flown to Las Vegas, 84 miles away.
Tunforss said the Arizona facility received seven gunshot victims, one man with skull trauma, a stabbing victim and a man with chest pains.
Davidson said one of the wounded suspects was a member of Hell’s Angels.
About an hour later and 92 miles west of the casino town, police in California say a biker was found shot dead alongside Interstate 40 near Ludlow.
It was not immediately clear whether the death is related to the casino shooting, said Chris Patterson, a spokesman for the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department.
The motorcyclist appears to have been shot while riding westbound on Interstate 40, away from Laughlin, said Patterson. “We believe it’s a 29-year-old white male from the San Diego area. He’s a motorcycle club member.”

The Laughlin Legacy Continues
LAUGHLIN, Nev. (AP) ? Rival motorcycle gangs armed with guns and knives clashed on a crowded casino floor early Saturday, leaving three dead and at least 12 wounded as terrified gamblers ducked for cover.
The shooting, the worst ever inside a Nevada casino, occurred during a weekend gathering of motorcycle groups, including the Mongols and Hells Angels.
Denise Massey, 48, was gambling with her fianc? on the first floor of Harrah’s when she noticed 20 to 30 bikers suddenly converge. “Next thing you know you just hear ‘Bam, bam, bam,”’ she said. “All of a sudden they’re running and just shooting at each other.”
Police said the violence erupted when a Mongol member walked into a group of Hells Angels. Sixty to 70 people, armed with guns and knives, were involved in the violence inside the entrance to Harrah’s casino, authorities said.
All three of the dead were bikers, police said. One person was arrested and police had recovered several guns. About 200 people were being interviewed, said Lt. Vince Cannito, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which patrols the Colorado River gambling resort 80 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Authorities also warned of the danger for further violence. “The rumors of retaliation have already hit the street,” said Larry Tunforss, spokesman for the fire department in Bullhead City, Ariz., which is across the river from Laughlin. “Our police department is beefing up intensely. There’s a definite concern of further incidents.”
SWAT teams and law enforcement officers from across Arizona and Nevada was called in.
The shooting occurred during the 20th annual River Run, a motorcycle gathering which attracted up to 80,000 people into Laughlin. The resort town of about 8,000 residents has nine casinos and attracts about 5 million visitors a year.
Nevada state archivist Guy Rocha said it was the worst shooting ever inside a Nevada casino. “In every case that’s been described to me there was no more than one death. This is a threshold,” he said.
Aniko Kegyulics was sitting at a casino bar with her boyfriend when she heard yelling and gunfire. “There were so many gunshots everything turned gray. Everybody fell to the floor. It was crazy,” she said.
She passed a body covered with a bloody sheet when police allowed people inside to leave at about 8 a.m., she said.
Chris Welton, 42, of Carson City, had been playing poker. “Shots just started going off,” he said. “There were dead bodies. Pretty nasty. There was a guy about 10 feet from me. He was dead. His buddy was trying to revive him.”
John Davidson, 39, ducked beneath a blackjack table. “There were shell casings landing right by us,” he said. “I had to pull the dealer down. She was screaming.”
University Medical Center in Las Vegas was treating five patients, three of whom were in serious condition with gunshot and stab wounds, nursing supervisor Louise Burns said. Of the other two, one was in critical condition with a skull fracture and the other was in fair condition with gunshot and stab wounds.
Western Arizona Regional Medical Center in Bullhead City treated seven fight victims. Four were in fair condition and three had been released.
Strange Facts Behind Terror
Saudi terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called “political prisoners”.
However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands.
The American President, Bill Clinton, “insisted” that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and thanked the US by flying an airplane full of Americans into Tower One of the World Trade Center.
This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

OH MY!!!
Two cowboys from Texas walk into a roadhouse to wash the trail dust their throats. They stand at the bar, drinking a beer and talking about cattle prices.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress.
One of the cowboys looks at her and says, “Kin ya breathe?”
The woman shakes her head, no. “Kin ya swaller?” The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head.
The cowboy walks over to the woman, lifts up the back of her dress, yanks down her panties, and slowly runs his tongue from the back of her thigh up to the small of her back.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the cowboy walks slowly back to the bar and takes a drink from his beer.
His partner says, “Ya know, I’d heard of that there “hind lick maneuver,” but ’til today, I ain’t never seen nobody do it.”

Two drank their Quervo neat, like I use to drink Jack out of the bottle next to the bonfire. Speaking of fires, the headquarters were hot the entire weekend. Laughlin was equally hot, but in a different dimension. Hamsters couldn’t handle the heat and they rode to Paso Robles for the weekend and hid in a winery. Ah but the Tequila flowed at the headquarters all weekend. I need a handful of aspirin. Have a helluva week.–Bandit
