He could be a C70 coupé .
Or a VW Beetle? :mrgreen: June

Come crown my brow with leaves of myrtle...I know the tortoise is a turtle.

Come carve my name in Stone immortal...

I know the tortoise is a tortle.

I know, to my despair, I bet on one to beat a hare.

I also know I am now a pauper..

Because if it’s turtly, tortly, torpor.

Actually, I prefer online slots to offline ones just because there's no need to go anywhere to find them. And you can play anywhere the internet is. However, I made a long way to finding slots that pay because there are a lot of scams :cry: But these ones are good. How do you feel?
That was a Oklahoma Indian reservation casino. I sure love the casino. We used to go to Las Vegas for two weeks every year during the Christmas and New year holidays. Vegas has nice ski resorts nearby.

Online you loose the thrill of being in the casino and the feel of the slot machine imo. June

Volvo gave us the ETM slot machine in 1999 for free

I’ve rolled a 140 on one and a 210 on another, though

Your daughter isn’t allowed in casinos, June, even with those pretty hands.
