To be fair, he's a good bit thinner than Super Mario, so you can't blame them really.
He's a good bit older, too.

The players in the card room at the Golden Nugget have christened Ralph "Mario"
Ralph accepted this with good grace, although he did put in a request for it to be changed to "Super Mario"
Request denied.
Hmmm, out of the two of you I'm not sure it's Ralph who has the closer resemblance to Mario.

Ralph is Mario and Red is Magnum PI

So. My Vegas trip is almost over. I just have to eat one last steak with eggs over easy and a short stack for breakfast, say a few goodbyes to the excellent staff and regular players in the card room at the Nugget, and I'm on my way.
I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed it. Luckily, the cash games have covered my expenses, so essentially I've had a freebee, but when I came here, my main aim wasn't to win money, it was to play some poker, see some sights and have some fun. Well I certainly did that.
While I've been here, I've only managed a few posts, but I have enough memories to fill a book. Some of the conversations I had, especially those with the old timers (Players and staff) at Binions and the Nugget will stay with me for ever.
I will definitely return, (God Willing) and when I do, I will definitely say downtown. For me, it's the real Vegas.

Do you dream tom? This sounds like a bit of a weird question but I was chatting about this with a friend the other day. He has the most amazing dreams, he is playing poker with Ivey and co one night then winning the sunday million the next, he even dreamt that he was on 'who wants to be a millionaire' on the last question he had used his 50/50, and didnt have a clue of the answer. He called me (phone a friend) and asked me pick A or B, I picked B he went for A and won the Million! Me on the other hand I never ever remember dreams, feel i'm missing out on something!

I know you didnt ask me but since dads probably still sleeping ill tell you about a realy vivid dream i had a couple of months before last years Grand National. In my dream i was in the bookies clutching a betting slip and watching the national on the tv (which is weird to start with cos ive never been in a betting shop and i dont realy know what happens in there) anyway, my horse lost, but an old man standing next to me had won, and showed me his slip with the winning horse's name on it in huge black letters. Next day i went around telling anyone who would listen that i'd dreamt the national winner!" Well?" they asked," Whats its name?" "Err, i cant remember now, but i'll know it when i see it" was my rather pathetic reply. Skip forward to april and im at Fantasy Island with my mam and the kids, in one of those fun pubs watching a dancing jellybear or something similar when the compere says "we'll be showing the national on the big screen at 3:15" I instantly start running round like Basil Fawlty, leaving my mam with all the kids and dashing to the shop for a newspaper. I about tore the paper to shreds trying to find the runners and riders, (its not easy out on the seafront in a force 9 "seabreeze") but there he was leaping out at me, Comply or Die.(just about the coolest name for a racehorse ever, i might add.) I then ran into the bookies down the street, which was packed to bursting, and just stood there wondering what the hell i was supposed to do when i nice lady said she'd help me "how much would i like to bet?" It was then i realised that id left my handbag in the pub! I only had about £3 in my pocket, so feeling a bit of a divvy by now i gave my change to the lady, got my slip and left. Back in the pub i sat thinking id made a bit of a fuss about nothing, but then the race started and the bloody thing only went and won! you should of seen me jumping up and down and screaming, much to the embarassment of my kids! After all this palaver i ended up with about thirty quid, a sore throat and the feeling that id missed out on a fortune. I hope i dream the lottery numbers!

Brilliant story, I dont think my mate has even applied to be on who wants to be a millionaire!
One day if your watching Chris Tarrent doing his usual face pulling and you see a ginger lad on the last question phoning a friend you heard it here first!

Wow, almost 2 weeks of catching up to do and it turns out it's two weeks of the best posts you ever made.
Amazing stuff, Mr Red.

I thought that Tom had already written it in the last several pages..
