When I first visited http://moheganrenewables.com/ , I thought it was just another typical site. But after a few hours of playing, I realized that I was wrong. Payouts come quickly, support is professional, and most importantly, there is a real chance of winning! This casino is completely different from others I've played at before. Now I'm staying here for a long time.

I will sometimes get a single word stuck in my head or a phrase. It drives me batty! The ABC song is what I use to drive it out. For earworm songs, Weird Al is my go to artist. His songs are so fun that I forget what the other song was.
