While David Letterman is recuperating, a repeat from his Late Show Top Ten:

Top 10 middle-of-the-night messages Siegfried leaves on Roy's answering machine:

10. "Don't forget, tomorrow's the day we bleach the tigers."

9. "Hi Siegfried, it's Roy -- or wait, am I Siegfried? Either way, call me."

8. "I was just watching a documentary about tigers and it sorta made me think of you."

7. "I'm still combing your d**n sequins out of my hair."

6. "Want to go to Hooters and pretend to look at chicks?"

5. "Come quick ... Crazed Bengal ... Losing blood. ..."

4. "Don't kid yourself -- I can always find another sexually-ambiguous, freaky looking, German magician/animal trainer."

3. "I just had a terrible realization -- we're ridiculous."

2. "Got any shaving cream? I'm doing my chest and I ran out."

1. "Dr. Carlson says it's time for our yearly face-tightening."

not bad... I am really not a fan of those two... And, I don't think the tigers have much of a good life either.

Did you know that the Mirage has put a big, heavy cover which now blocks the public from viewing the tigers? Yup, now you have to pay to see them lying there!

On another note, I heard the Mirage is up for bidding. Guess Wynn has other investments up his sleeves.

PS- in regards to #7 , we cannot say "damn" on Talk Vegas BB's ???

JoeJr,
I don't see why not? My guess is that is the way the joke was received, so that is the way Veronica Posted it?
As we forge forward with this BB, we find there is some gray area. I do not find the word offensive. But then you've heard me talk, and there isn't too much that I don't say! <S>
Charging for the tigers? I guess 3.5 Billion ain't enough then!

I censored that....and cannot recall or imagine why! Must've been having a self-censoring kind of day on the 11th

Joe: re the tiger viewing area being covered up: Is that definitely permanent?

Im not sure if it is a permanent thing. But, I don't like the sounds of it at all.

At the MGM you can view the lions absolutely free. There is only a cost if you want pictures with the cubs. In both cases, I worry about the environment that these WILD animals are placed in...

Joe

I was just there at the MGM and walked by the Lion thing. I saw two guys just sitting in there. The lion is just sleeping and it was very surreal as it almost appeared that the two guys sitting there were the exhibit. Very strange. And I promise I had not started drinking that day yet. No other vices either. What a lame, boring job. How do those guys just sit there?

Marc: I saw 2 guys sitting there tossing a ball to the lions to give the lions something to do, although it looked like the guys were so bored, it was actually giving THEM something to do! I'm not sure who was being entertained more....the guys, the lions, or the crowd. I'd say a little bit of each.
