SOME VOCABULARY WHICH WOULD BE USEFUL IF RYAN DOBOSH WAS SPENDING HIS BIRTHDAY IN CHINA, RATHER THAN IN LAS VEGAS

牌戏/pai hu = blackjack ("cards-dead and gone")
酒鬼/jiu gui = drunkard ("booze ghost")
发牌人/fa pai ren = dealer ("dispatch cards person")
赌场/du chang = casino ("gambling area")
赢/ying = win (fatten with money/shells)
表演脱衣舞者/biaoyan tuoyi wuzhe = stripper ("demonstrate clothes-removal dancer")
老虎机/laohu ji = slot machine ("tiger machine")

Granted, that last one would only be useful were I to ever be invited to join the boys club, which I shall not be, and to which I say: 之所以你跳进黄河也洗不清，是因为你一直没请我跟你们一起庆祝你的生日.

But I forgive you, and also I miss you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!
