Truly one of the world's great gamblers. He was an artist, a contemporary of Picasso. He developed various ways to make stuff to put in museums that don't look anything like traditional paintings and sculpture. Basically, he's the whole reason the general public HATES contemporary art. And he loved chess and roulette. Chess mostly. He was really into the conceptual strategy of chess but also the aura of "The Gambler" My last cell phone had as it's flip-top photo an image of Duchamp's "Monte Carlo Bond" which was some crazy thing he sold to rich people while summering in the south of France. And on the inside of that same phone was a digital image of two words "Tumbling Dice." I'm a desperate man doing desperate things. And LP, yes on the vodka and the mumbling in Russian (weird that you could actually do that!) And ROUNDERS! you gotta see ROUNDERS! It has Russians! Natasha,

Ironically, Mike Mentzer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGyfZi-yq1k) taught me how to smoke, well, and philosophy too. Who is Marcel Duchamp? Guns is my another secret passion yet to be explored. Have you seen “Lord of War”? LoL, Lane, tell the truth, did we ever play at the same table together and you just never mentioned to me that you were the cool professional gambler from TGW?
