In cigar news, the weekly special is pretty decent, if you like Diesels. Might get some more HotD, or some of the coronas. Can't decide.

You know the right answer.......BOTH!

Why didn't I think of that?!? Maybe cause my wife didn't get a 4x multiplier today. 

You saving yourself for tomorrow?

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Actor Brad Renfro, the 18-year-old actor best known for his co-starring role in the movie "The Client", and a buddy allegedly tried to steal a 45 foot yacht from its berth at a Ft. Lauderdale marina. Our smart guys got the big boat started and were on their way...almost. They forgot to untie the dock lines and when they tried to pull away, the ropes tightened and yanked the $175,000 boat back to the dock. Nearby boaters were awakened by the ruckus and held the actor and his friend until the police arrived.

Speaking of cigars, had a lovely little brown box full of Cuarentas waiting for me when I got home last night.

A man went into a hardware store to apply for a job. After completing his application he went to the section of the store that sold guns. He asked to see a couple guns, and the attendant left for a moment. The guy stole the guns. Not only was he video-taped, the police used the address on his application to go to his house and arrest him.

Must be an old story Dean.  He died from a drug overdose years ago.

Orlando, FL

A few months ago, a rapist learned that being dumb can be fatal. After breaking into a woman's apartment and holding her at knife-point, he began assaulting his victim. In the throes of misguided passion, the assailant dropped his knife onto the bed. The victim picked it up and stabbed him to death.

Nothing says welcome home like a nice little brown box on your doorstep.

A New Jersey judge ordered the return of $1.5 million to a casino from gamblers who won at a table game after realizing the cards had not been shuffled.

State Superior Court Judge Donna Taylor ruled in favor of the Golden Nugget casino in its dispute with 14 gamblers who say it was not there fault the cards were not shuffled and should be allowed to keep their winnings.

A mini-baccarat game is where the trouble started in April 2012. The casino was using decks of cards that paid a manufacturer to pre-shuffle, but the deck at hand was not shuffled. Once the gamblers realized the cards were not shuffled, they increased their bets from $10 to $5,000 and proceeded to win 41 straight hands.

Judge Taylor said the games were illegal under state law because they did not conform to the state's gambling regulations.

"The dealer did not pre-shuffle the cards immediately prior to the commencement of play, and the cards were not pre-shuffled in accordance with any regulation," the judge wrote. "Thus, a literal reading of the regulations ... entails that the game violated the (Casino Control) Act, and consequently was not authorized."

The Golden Nugget casino bought what were supposed to be pre-shuffled cards from a Kansas City Manufacturer. The manufacturer did acknowledge it failed to shuffle the cards. The litigation between the manufacturer and the casino was resolved, but a confidentiality agreement prevents details from being revealed.

Golden Nugget?  I thought they closed down in A/C 30 years ago.  I had to Google it.  Turns out they bought the Trump Marina a few years back.  I rarely make my way down there.  I much prefer Vegas.  But let me get this straight... The casino gets their money back from the "winners" and then has the ability to sue the the manufacturer because the cards weren't pre-shuffled?
