Guest Column: The Native Americans Give…And then they take away

This past weekend, I journeyed back to my home away from home, the reservation of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. I wanted to take in some history, some heritage, and view first-had the unbelievable collection of American History artifacts such as ancient Choctaw craftwork and centuries-old arrowheads. It turns out there’s also a casino on this reservation. What a happy coincidence! Even though I had no previous knowledge of a gambling establishment on the sacred tribal land, since I was already there I had no qualms about a little leisurely gambling.
I decided to take along a gambling companion. Similar to watching a movie, having an associate to gamble with doesn’t really enhance the experience itself, but it’s nice to have the company. Although most of my friends are either married or giant vaginas, my buddy Chad agreed to join me on my adventure. Everyone has certain friends that are great to hang out with, but are equally exasperating. Chad falls into that category. I always have fun spending time with him, but when I do, a good 10% of my sentences begin or end with “Fucking Chad.”
There’s nothing better than that first minute inside a casino. All the bells and whistles, the artificial sound of slot machines paying out, cries of jubilation and desperation as fortunes are won and lost……all of these things make a casino a Mecca of sorts for the action junkie. Best of all, upon arrival, the gambler hasn’t yet had a chance to lose, and the anticipation of winning far outweighs the potential anguish of losing. So, I wish my friend good luck at the roulette table (sucker!), and head to the dice pit.
It didn’t work out as I’d hoped. It was so cold; I’m convinced there were supernatural forces at work. Either the table is located directly above an old Indian Cemetery, or the casino was employing a tribal shaman as the stickman. Down a few hundred, I feel hot breath on the back of my neck. Good ol’ Chad. Slurping away on a beverage like Cousin Eddie, he enlightens me with this nugget of wisdom: “Well…The Lord giveth and the lord taketh away. That’s from the Book of Job. There was nothing else to read in the hotel room when I was taking a dump, so I grabbed the Bible. Pretty good stuff in there.” Fucking Chad.
