I've been trolling the online poker rooms here from time to time as usual and for the 1st time I can recall there was a player on there from Uganda. Full Tilt seems to be dominated (in numbers anyway) most days by guys from Eastern Europe. Lots of Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, those pesky Moldovans, etc. And certainly there are many Americans there as well (even though it's technically "illegal" for US banks to let funds be deposited into the site - a farce if there ever was one). But I'd never seen an African fellow trying his luck at Full Tilt before. Once I realized that a Ugandan dude was at the table, I typed a special message into the chat bar feature (I loathe the chatting on there, lots of silly name calling in broken English...). The special message I typed into the chat bar for this Ugandan read exactly as follows: Was your grandfather played by Forest Whitaker in that movie? Alas, no one commented back. Nobody on Full Tilt ever has a clue what my chat comments are about. My guess is that my frame of reference is slightly unique compared to the average online poker jockey.
Another thing about the online poker is the screen name choices. Most of them are innocuous enough - things like Kevin1983, etc. Some guys try and be funny, and rarely succeed. Very rarely. Then there are the guys who try and intimidate through their name choice. Things like Poker Assassin or AK Killer - generally anything that sounds like a shitty rapper moniker. Then you get to those rarest of all name choices - the one in a thousand that is cool. I saw one just the other day. It was The Wilmot Proviso. I complimented the kid for his name. But he lost an all-in and got booted from the table before he could chat bar me back. Maybe I'll run into the kid again. He and I have to be the only 2 players on Full Tilt who can hold a converation on the Wilmot Proviso. That's for sure. As for my screen name, I'm not tellng here. Although a few folks who read this blog have seen me playing sitting at the bar of Get Bent Lounge in the past. Andy knows the screen name. And he has an incredible memory for names. He might be able to tell you. I used to have to steal the Wifi from the Hookah joint next store to Get Bent Lounge to play the online poker. The signal was pretty good, even through the wall and all the Hookah stuff or whatever that wafts through the air over there. I never could figure that out. It was always interesting to stand out front having a smoke at Get Bent Lounge and standing to the right were kids from the Hookah joint smoking away as well. Other than the smoking the 2 groups had nothing in common. Nothing. Hookah kids look like freaks and Get Bent Lounge regulars look like degenerates of all stripes (especially if Ross & I are standing outside talking to and mocking {mostly mocking} skanks chain smoking - that's a bevy of degenerates right there).
Speaking of Get Bent Lounge, someone left a note after the last post on this blog about the Dream Team. I have a suspicion who it was, but nonetheless...And thank you to whoever left it. Turns out the Dream Team has not vanished from the face of the earth. Not yet. They were recently spotted at Get Bent Lounge throwing themselves at young morons, begging for a free drink - same old story as ever. My question for the commenter is this - Was the redheaded Dream Teamer there? The last I heard about our dear friend Vicki was that she had been forcefully relocated to Wyoming or somewhere by her folks after her 4th failure at rehab. My guess is that the Dream Teamers mentioned in the comment were the blonde one that Geilfuss almost fucked (I can't remember the chick's name, but then I can't remember any names, can I?) and one of her proteges. But please let me know. Thanks.
Speaking of the blonde Dream Teamer & Geilfuss, he tells this story on one of his 2 defunct blogs about the night that my man Vaeth almost got into a fight with said Dream Teamer's "boyfriend" after calling her a slut one too many times. It's worth checking out the blog post. Just go to http://www.itcouldbekobebryant.blogspot.com/ and search for it. My own recollection of the night that Vaeth about started a riot in Get Bent Lounge was that I was standing next to him, egging him on - shocker! And that when Andy had to come over to broker peace between Vaeth and this fake "boyfriend," I said to him, "Not sure what the big deal is Andy, the girl is a straight out slut." Andy simply said, "You've got a point there."
Oh, I just thought of this - the other night I was having a little difficulty falling asleep and my mind drifted to the NFL. And here's what I realized - did you know that the NFC has sent 10 different teams to the Super Bowl the last 10 seasons? And if I'd have told a Cowboy, 49er, or Washington fan this before the 2001 season, how many would have thought that their team would not be among the 10? But that City of Tampa, St Louis, Seattle, Arizona for God's sake, and even the damn Carolina Panthers would. I know a number of Cowboy fans, in and out of Texas, read this blog from time to time, and would be interested to hear their thoughts on this startling, and even sobering, fact. You're right there in the same boat as Little Danny Snyder and the woeful Detroit Lions.
We're right in the throws of hoops season now and I have considered getting some picks up for the degenerates who read this blog. But I haven't had the energy. Not to worry though, the March Madness is about 4 weeks away, when the conference tourneys heat up. I'll be on it then.
I was hanging out in Durham last week at my friend Jen's house with a few work colleauges of mine from back in the day and we decided to give the old Wii bowling a try. I had played it once 3 years ago at Dan McGrain's (his parents' house anyway). But not since. Anyway, it was pretty funny. I was being so aggressive and violent with my make-believe bowling throws that Josh at one point said, "Who the hell are you angry at?" I looked at Josh and said, "I was never down with Norm Duke." And that's true. I'm not down with anything named Duke. Obviously.
Speaking of Duke and hoops gambling, I sent Brandon a note via the Faceshit the other night. It said: Take the Heels +10. He got back to me and let me know he was already on it. And the Heels did indeed cover the 10 like champions.
Speaking of Faceshit, I might drop the "h" in the made up word and start calling it Facesit instead. Face sitting is a very popular fetish amongst many fine gentlemen. How do I know this? Well, go to the porno site of your choice and type face sitting in the search bar. I'm gonna do it now...hold on a sec...WOW! What you get is a little disturbing. These women with enormous asses are straddling bald dudes' faces. I don't know why all the men are bald though. Why is that? Why do bald men like to have their faces sat upon by buxom women? I think I'd pass on the face sitting personally. It's gotta be hard to breathe for one thing. And there's always the chance that whatever buxom babe is doing the sitting didn't clean up real good after taking her last dump. Not for me...
Enough of this for today ----->

Vicki was nowhere to be found Thursday night and I haven't seen stumbling across York Road in ages. As for your assumption that it was the blonde Dream Teamer and one of her proteges well your dead on. Matt has since resorted to using Advil to numb the pain that goes with a sprained MCL.
hahaha that was a ridiculous time. Do you remember "the boyfriend" actually was waiting outside to try and fight til I went back out there and told him to go home there was no possible positive outcome for him in the scenario. Miss ya brother.
