Finally I am at peace.....

I have had my chat privileges revoked!!!!! I have not been able to do this at any site ever...until now...thank god.....I can finally play without worrying about losing my skull!!!

You want to laugh?

Read this post....not only is it funny but the delivery is gold.....
The subliminal one also strikes comedy gold with a simple picture and a phrase.....

Also people should congratulate Lana aka LJ aka pvanharibo (sorry about the link to your old blog but I'm having trouble with the firewall constraints again) on one hell of a run ending yesterday in the WSOP 1500 H.O.R.S.E tournament....
SprStoner also hit big last week.....can't link right now for obvious reasons.....
One way to actually keep up with many people is Tweetdeck...it's kind of crazy but there are some bloggers and pros that are twittering while they are playing. I didn't think it would be a good thing but I was wrong about that...it is fairly addictive...

I will be keeping an eye out for other bloggers who are in the WSOP as we speak.....


EDIT : OMFG...if anybody hasn't seen 'The Hangover' you need to go soon. It is without a doubt the funniest movie I have seen in over 10 years....no doubt...

Miscellany

The Sox are really giving it to the Yanks this year...this makes me happy....we'll see if it continues for the rest of the year. I have to say that pitching wins in the playoffs (not that anybody in the front office of NY really knows this)...and the Yanks have a weak bullpen....and weak middle relief....and some half-assed starters...at least their 3-4-5 starters. The sox have that guy...what's his name again?.....oh yeah...John Smoltz coming back to be their 5th starter. The Rays are much more suited for the post season then the Yanks IMO.

Last week I met Biggestron in the Hahvahd Yahd for a few hoppy beahs. Harvard actually graduated that day....it didn't seem to crowded at Bukowski's but hey...those graduates have to get to their 'green jobs' mighty quick. I wonder what the odds are on them dumping their 'green jobs' for high paying defense attorney jobs etc. when they realize they owe 250.000 grand in student loans? Welcome to the real world...."how you like them apples?" Anyway off from my Harvard tangent....Biggestron AKA Bdidde suggested some tasty almost over hoppy-infused brews. They were excellent as usual...and the BScientist also has the brew master chops and a spiffy new setup at the house. I expect to sample those brews at some point mmmkay? By the end of the night I was all over the hefeweizen wheat beers...can't get enough of them. We talked about Sports and Music....just what I needed instead of the regular poker drama. He got a remastered Who album recently...I think it was 'Who's next'. I made the suggestion that all WHO fans have to know...get the remastered version of 'Live at Leeds'. I think it was released in the mid-90's....maybe the late 90's...but it has about 8 tracks more than the original.....and it is a must have for any rock fan...trust me!

Rumor has it that Phish played in fenway park....I would have been there in the early to mid-90's....not now that I have a 1 and a 4 year old. I also hear DrPauly and his merry band of pranksters came through town. He has great write up of the tour...his town by town travels and the fenway phiasco...mostly on the Coventry blog...if you like Phish you must read. Some of the best shows I have ever been to have been Phish shows....'91 at UMASS for their spring weekend....New years eve at the Worcester Centrum '93 into '94 I believe. As a matter of fact it was one of the top 5 shows of all time for me. I think the last time I saw them was some time around '95 at the brand new UMASS arena. alas....I am more of an old school metal head but there were some good times and good music and good memories had at those old Phish shows.....whooooooooeeeeeeee.......

Rumor has it there is still some major poker tournament series going on right now....um...the BBT4 (Big Congrats to JJOK, ACtyper, CK, and Karma ((whoever that is))....good job and good luck at the WSOP. JJ...how the fuck do you play 2 tourneys in the BBT4 and turn it into 10K+?????? LOL...Congrats!!!).....no....oh yeah the WSOP and SprStoner continued his ridiculous year by placing 3rd in a 2K buy-in I think.....and cashing for some mind blowing amount of cash...again...sick...good luck the rest of the way for you and for all the other bloggers who are out there now and out there later...

How 'bout them Penguins? I am psyched someone is putting up a fight in the Stanley Cup. It's actually an exciting series!! Down 2-0 to the vaunted Detroit RedWings and come back to tie it up with a 2-1 win last weekend...finally a good series. Go Penguins...I can't believe I just rooted for a Pittsburgh team but you have to root against the Evil Empire of Hockey...Don't You?

How's the current administration treating everybody? Don't wanna say I told ya so but I told ya so...but who wants to discuss politics with the summer here? I just can't believe the fawning the media gives Obamalot...it's downright sick...

I won't leave on a down note though...I will do a thorough review of Metallica's new album next....hint : it was worth the wait.

FAWK!

I didn't make it to the BBT TOC. As usual the majority of my stack was lost to a coin flip and couldn't recover from there...in the Big Game and most of the rest of the tourneys. I swear a few big pairs holding up to A-K or my A-K hitting against a medium pair....well you know. So congrats to all that made it and made the big money on the way. I'm going to settle down and take it easy for a week or so...I also monkey tilted on PokerStars during the last month or so. I pretty much broke even for this BBT and couldn't build on last years BBT momentum. I guess that was the last BBT we'll see anyway so the 3 month grind will surely not be visited again anytime soon. I think I won enough FTP points for a jersey though. We'll see if I can use those for satellite entries of something. I'm all set with the jersey....everybody I've seen wear an FTP jersey in a poker room has been a total knob anyway. A huge thanks again to Al for the opportunity given to a bunch of misfit pokah Donks.....

So good luck to all in the TOC...I hope you can turn your WSOP seat into something all of us will envy. Good luck to those who are also playing in the WSOP by their own means...keep us updated on your blogs....won't you?!
