Spelunking in Las Vegas
LowellPorter writes "There's an article here about some reporters who check out the sewers in Vegas after a known criminal escapes a police dragnet through them. They expect to find lots of people living in there, but only end up interviewing a couple of bums."
Must be some kind of annual conference, surely?
...or does this article stink!?
Why are you calling them bums, the politically correct term is "trailer impaired".
I thought I was reading some sort of geeks weblog, I must have typed the wrong URL.
"Josh, slow down," I said. "I can't see shit."
Weren't they looking hard enough?
Objects in the blog are closer then they ap
Next week: They're going to explore the woods on the side of the highway with nothing more than a flashlight and a scimitar. Nobody knows whats there....
"There was a brief flash of light as another truck went by. While it passed, the world seemed to stand still as my companion and I forgot to breathe in our quiet terror. The smell of exaust was almost overpowering, and I longed to be free of this hell. Suddenly, we heard a soft crunch from right at our feet! Jimmy fumbled for his scimitar while I readied the flashlight. It was what appeared to be a dixie cup. From how long ago, we couldn't say... There appeared to be a drying brown substance in the bottom of it, which we suspect is human blood. We had no time to ponder that however; we had a long journey ahead."
The reporters were looking for a troll in the sewers, but couldn't find him.
I guess they had their threshold too high.
The should have looked at -1.
DNA is the ultimate spaghetti code.
...So there's gotta be some one-armed bandits down there.
Were the bums playing craps?
Man, I can't believe I said that...
I think they were expecting a bunch of dog-boy Recombinants, on the run from the sinister government agency which was breeding them to be super-soldiers. But all they found was a hot brunette chick with puffy lips and a barcode on her neck. She told them to pull their heads out of their asses, and do something useful, like write a halfways decent piece about the homeless.
Freedom: "I won't!"
Why, Mutant Ninja Turtles, of course!!!
"I'm just here to regulate funkiness."
The Spanish Inquisition?
How's that not "news for nerds, stuff that matters?"
Programming can be fun again. Film at 11.
Shh... Don't let the secret out.
Really, it's spelunking folks. And be sure to take a ball of string to mark your path into the cave...
Have you ever been to Circus Circus. Just as filthy but more accessable ;)

...or they might have been eaten by a Grue.

Or is this a hint of further slumps in the IT industry headed our way? "This just in: Slashdot posts stories about housing opportunities for sacked IT folks..."
Don't park drunk, accidents cause people.
