Mad Genius
I was reading an article in which they mentioned Mike Caro “the Mad Genius of Poker,” when I recalled another Mad Genius.
Here in Las Vegas there is a guy who drives a station wagon that is covered in little pieces of mirror and chrome that have been glued to a grey undercoat.
He’s still around town, and if you’ve lived here very long you’ve probably seen him, he’s about 5′10,” slender and usually wears a hat, dark glasses and half-gloves.
In fact, while I’ve seen him without the hat, I don’t ever recall seeing him without the gloves and glasses, it doesn’t seem to matter if it’s day or night, for all I know he sleeps in them.
He’s a nice guy, but all I can recall about him, was that he was living with or taking care of his mother, and that was some studio or other was interested in buying the car, and he seemed to think it was worth a lot of money.
Anyway, he legally changed his name from “Richard something” to “Mad Genius” many years back.
I always wondered what his genius was, besides gluing shiney bits on a car.
Hey, you never thought of it, did you…..
And you thought poker players were weird.
