  1. Just as a point of clarification, the "Yes we can" song is based on Barack Obama's concession speech in New Hampshire, not his South Carolina victory speech.
  2. Woody Allen as Alvy Singer, at the end of Annie Hall:After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally
  3. Well, I for one love the show and watch it regularly, and I was amazed when Mike showed up. It was pretty fantastic in its awkwardness.And she didn't host a gay porn party, it was THE Gay Porn Awards.
  4. It's worth noting that Gavin and Friedberg know each other, so while it was still a highly questionable move, I doubt Gavin would do that to a complete stranger. Anyway, I'm sure he'll explain the situation on Pokerwire.
  5. This song trips me out every time I hear it; it took me about 2.5 minutes the first time I heard it to realize that it was basically another take on "...Falettinme..." Pretty amazing.
  6. I assumed that was for Poker After Dark, because he talks about no one wanting to go broke, it being televised, etc. He says later that he golfed with Gavin, Erick and Sheiky.
  7. Sounds like he probably just got disconnected, especially if he was autofolding. Congrats.
  8. I second this; I'm all about this album. "Us v. Them" and "Sound of Silver" (the song) are really good too, in a style more similar to earlier LCD Soundsystem stuff. Speaking of DFA, I've also been listening to Hot Chip a lot lately, since I was able to get my hands on their DJ Kicks mix that doesn't come out until next month.
  9. As a ghey, I'd like to say that I would never vote for him. It's teen girls and www.votefortheworst.com that are keeping him around.
  10. Actually, it seems like every time I go in a casino, someone tells me I look like Beck.
  11. I've always found Devilfish more annoying than Tony G, so I quite enjoyed that video.
  12. I was playing a 2/4 limit cash game (I'm a poor college student and it was my spring break) at the Venetian during the tourney on Saturday when Moneymaker got moved to the table next to mine. Our dealer started talking a lot of crap about him, but another dealer later said that MM was a pretty good guy. I might have approached him, but I didn't have a camera or anything, so I didn't see the point. I really liked the poker room there too.
  13. I'm still struggling to get into this, despite being a huge Project Runway fan. I enjoy the show each time up until the judging, at which point I always get really annoyed/flabbergasted/agitated. Honestly, the judges are so snotty and condescending, but not in the same moderately humorous way as Michael Kors or Nina Garcia. I'm probably comparing too much, but I just feel like I should be enjoying it more than I am.Having said all that, yeah, go Goil!
  14. I know... A7 probably isn't even 40% to win in that situation, right? (I'm too lazy to look it up.)
  15. I love all the comments from people who think he's serious. Here's my favorite:"...I'll play you on Pokerstars for any amount you want. ANY amount, ANY time."
  16. That's a little different than not liking to be next to a gay person. You probably have played poker next to a gay person before and not even realized it, because it doesn't necessarily affect how he or she behaves or appears, but a smelly person stinks up the place and makes you want to vomit. Yuck.
  17. Maybe the site is a little silly, but it's understandable that gay people would want to play in an atmosphere where they aren't going to get called a "fag" in the chat or be called gay in a derogatory manner, both of which I've seen often in online poker.
  18. I don't take this as an accusation, as your brother seems to. All the support person is saying is that the updater was bypassed somehow, and then he goes on to give a solution to the problem. That's far from being indifferent to the problem. Sure, he doesn't get his money back, which kinda sucks, but I can't imagine he lost more than a blind or two before he gave up on playing two-card five-card draw.
  19. One great thing about playing online is that you can get as mad as you want without your opponents ever realizing it. You can swear, shout, hit things, etc. and as long as you resist the urge to say anything to them, no one's the wiser. If you're having trouble avoiding getting angry, you can at least redirect the anger.
  20. Actually, leading out on the turn after just calling on the flop is often called a donk bet. It's more just terminology than an actual judgment of the person's play.
  21. This makes it sound like Full Tilt is staying, at least for the time being:http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_news/news_...class=PokerNewsFull Tilt Poker to Stand PatPoker Site Calms Its Players' WorriesWhile many of the online poker industry’s top sites have stated they will end business relations with customers located in the US if the President signs the bill designed to curb online gaming into a law, the people behind Full Tilt Poker are standing by their product and services. Citing the fact that the banking industry has 270 days to implement the new rules after the President signs the bill,
  22. I can't say for certain, but I would be surprised if they were. Nguyen is an extremely common last name amongst Vietnamese people. According to Wikipedia, up to 40% of Vietnamese people have Nguyen as their last name.
  23. I waited once, thinking it was the nice thing to do, and then I came in second and still haven't forgiven myself.
