Just jumping into share an anecdote about #9

9 Fluffy. So I’m playing craps in Vegas with my boss, who is very, very drunk. The guy next to him is Latino, heavily tattooed, looks like Tuco from Breaking Bad, and is giving off those “I’m not a nice guy vibes”. My boss decides he looks like Iglesias, and starts shouting “come on Fluffy” every time he rolls. Thankfully the guy either didn’t speak english, didn’t know the origin of the name, or was cool with it, because nothing went down, but wow. I’m sure a lot of us all have those "drunk friend almost got his ass beat in Vegas stories.
