Las Bowgas
I hosted a poker night round at my house in East London the other evening. There were five other invitees, which I had previously co-ordinated by using e-mail circulars. The e-mail subject title was “Las Bowgas”.
Of the five invitees, two were puzzled by the title, and wanted to know what it meant. All five of these players were self-evidently intelligent people – good degrees, good jobs, etc.
What I want to know is:
(a) Is there anyone reading this who also requires an explanation of the title? (post a comment if so)
(b) What is the reason for some people being able to see what it means and some people not? It is most interesting how different minds work in different ways and are therefore adept at different processes.
I’m sure many psychologists have devoted their whole Phd theses to such things, but I am content to wonder about it in a simplistic fashion on the information super highway.

Perhaps a less clumsy pun would have been "Bowker Night".
I thought you lived in Stepney...
He does but Las Stepneygas didn't work.
Genius on two levels. Not only do you turn a crime ridden east end area into something glamourous, but there's also a play on words!? (read Las Bogus perhaps?).
Incidently, it's not very original as Brisbane, Australia has been touting itself as BrisVegas for quite some time now.
