Re: Help me settle a bet
Rand,
Your post has helped crystallize some concepts in my head.

Re: Help me settle a bet
You know a lot of stuff, Aaron. Do you work in casino management or something?
The drop is directly related to the house edge, right? The amount of action is very important, of course ("faster"...

Re: On Jeans
I've found Earl to be a lot better than Lucky Brand. I don't like the gay back pockets on 7 and Evisu jeans.
