I'm not some crash test dummy you guys can use to try out your dating skills on. You, if you like Lana so much, why don't you just ask her out and get it over with. And you, stop acting like a Vegas bookie picks your dates. And both of you, treat me better. What does the underlined refer to? Basically she says "stop acting like a matchmaker", right?    Madhulk Joined on Mon, Dec 17 2007 Bulgaria Senior Member 3,177 THE MAN OF STEEL Dates

	Grammar Geek  +  521002 Fri, 30 May 08 06:56 PM I'm actually having trouble with this one. A bookie is someone who takes bets. Gambling is legal in Las Vegas, so "a Vegas bookie" is a clear reference to gambling and odds, but I don't understand the allusion.   Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,660 Barbara, who answers in American English.
