Was watching Penn's webcast, "Penn Jillete's Sunday School" (great by the
way). He said that Caesar's gave him the same amount that he would have won
if he had become the CA! He was very grateful to the company(which owns the
Rio, where he and Teller are the artists-in-residence).
My wife and I feel that Penn would have won. His phrase, "You earned it" is
not condescending, it is uplifting! According to Trump, he "earned"
everything he ever got!

Apropos of nothing, I love that commercial Penn & Teller do with the
weed killer, where the guy's hair turns into dandelion fluff. I laugh
every time.

We also love that commercial, laugh every time! My wife saw Penn and Teller
when she went to the 45th Star Trek convention in Vegas(I stayed home and
took care of our little dachshund). She said that the show was great, funny
and worth the price of admission. She has been a hard-core Trekkie since
age 11 and since this was the last time "Spock" would be at a Con, she
wanted, and got, her picture taken with him and also Shatner.

Agreed. But the show went caustic, and that's why Penn didn't. Good on Caesar's, to which Penn has given so much, to give back.

Agreed.

Also, always thought had Penn survived the week when he was sent off
the show, he would have been right in the groove for the next task,
which seemed right up his alley.
