  1. Jay North who played "Dennis the Menace".
  2. Boxer George Foreman. He named all five of his sons George Foreman. Even giving them all the same middle name too.
  3. Boris Spassky who was involved in the "Chess Match of the Century" in 1972.
  4. Some trivia: Uecker hit 14 home runs in his career, 3 of them off Hall of Fame pitchers. One of those pitchers was Sandy Koufax. When Uecker saw Koufax after that he would apologize to him because he thought his homer might keep Koufax out of the Hall of Fame.
  5. Last week Chuck Woolery, former host of Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection died at 83.
  6. Things you don't see much of in Vegas as of 12/1/2024 1) Vegas YouTubers who don't exagerate the danger of the Naked City neighborhood behind the Strat Hotel which hasn't really been that dangerous in the last 25 years. 2} Bottled water containers (sold by Vegas street vendors) that haven't been filled with city tap water. 3)Vegas YouTubers who think they're experts on Vegas who "are actually" experts on Vegas. 4)Unknown poker pros under 50 yrs old with good health insurance. 5)Multi-millionaires and billionaires who say they love Vegas and poker and because of that wo
  7. I have a feeling it's going to be a long hibernation unless some big event happens that kickstarts poker again. One possible big event would be a successful poker themed movie that got people that currently don't give a damn about poker interested. One example of a movie that created a craze was the movie "Saturday Night Fever". Disco absolutely exploded across the nation after that movie. Another example was the movie "Urban Cowboy" which showcased a "mechanical bull riding machine". I would estimate that at least half the dance clubs in America (even some fancy clubs) installed a mechan
  8. Jimmy the Greek,TV announcer from the 70's, once gave his opinion of what it takes to be a good poker player. He stated: "If you ain't a tiger, forget it."
  9. Why do mummies make great friends if you want to keep secrets? Because they are good at keeping things under wraps.
  10. What did the banana say to the hippopotamus? Nothing, bananas can't talk.
  11. I like the Jack Straus story where he owed a guy a lot of money and was scheduled to pay it back on a certain day. Jack didn't have the money so he hatched a plan with 2 friends. Jack agreed to meet the man he owed money on the sidewalk. Jack walks on the sidewalk and sees the man he owes money about 50 yards away and the lender sees Jack. Suddenly a car pulls up and Jack's 2 friends get out looking like FBI. They show him a fake badge push him up against their car, pat him down, handcuff him, and place him the backseat of their black sedan and drive off. Later that night, Jack calls t
  12. Overexposed as of 4/14/23 --Commercials with Kevin Hart. --Garrett Adelstein --The word "iconic". It seems I hear that word almost every day now. Give it a rest.
  13. Posted Tuesday at 10:13 AM How the hell was RodReynolds around to upvote that? I am now convinced that Rod IS VK. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Sorry, but this latest conspiracy theory is also wrong. As I've always said, my identity can easily be verified by FCP Bob by simply calling him and my caller ID will give my name, the author of Vegas Knights. _____ BigD McGee, Rod Reynolds, who will I be next??
  14. No big deal because nowadays there are few if any film companies that have the ability to take a 3x honored poker themed script (such as "Vegas Knights"), a script where an experienced script reader said it could easily be made into an entertaining poker movie, a script that is being sold relatively cheap, and a script that would have a built in audience of millions of poker players dying for a quality poker film, and make such a script into a successful movie.
  15. Things most overexposed as of October 20, 2022: - Political TV ads for the upcoming November elections. - Misleading/inaccurate TV political ads. - Camp Lejeune polluted water lawsuit ads going on for months. - The thousands of comments on the latest poker cheating scandal - stories/complaints about the homeless problem (with little being done).
  16. Hey Bob, I wonder if Daniel knows Magnes Carlsen is playing in the Main Event today (Tuesday).  Maybe he can interview him for the vlog, or let him hang out in his room there.

      I'm sure things are too busy and chaotic for him to try and find Magnes. 

  17. Well, I got some time so here's that info. Recently I was doing some spring cleaning when I came across a magazine page I had torn out of an old poker magazine over 20 years ago. The magazine probably was Card Player but I can’t tell for sure. The page includes a full page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt, owner of Hustler Magazine and Hustler Casino. The page includes a photo of Flynt and a separate picture of Donald Trump holding 2 playing cards. Trump used to use that picture in his advetisements of his card tournaments. Remember this was 2001, when Trump was known as a cock
  18. Only 9 more days before it is revealed what famous person challenged another famous person to a big money poker match and wrote these words: "We both talk a good game, it's time now that we put up or shut up. I am throwing you the challenge. Are you man enough to meet it?"
  19. Wow, nice electric car, Daniel is doing his part to improve Vegas air quality.,, Wonder how much his little room bordering the poker area will cost per week.
  20. Leather Ass - One of the main skills needed to be a great limit low stakes poker player.
  21. Vegas Knights = a poker themed screenplay, or an abbreviation of the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team.
  22. The following comment was made by Mike "The Mouth" Matusow to another player at the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event: "I've got big Cahonees. You've got tiny Cahonees."
  23. Here is a quote (paraphrasing) from old time gambler/poker player, Puggy Pearson: "You can beat up on a player and pound on him, and pound, and pound some more and he'll keep coming back if he thinks the game is honest, but if you cheat him out of a quarter he'll never play with you again." On a similar note, Amarillo Slim said: "You can shear a sheep many times but you can skin it only once."
  24. I'm not surprised that no one could answer the above trivia question, because the poker challenge mentioned occurred over 20 years ago... Some of you know that I wrote a poker themed screenplay. There is even a thread about it right here on Full Contact Poker. Here is the url to that thread: An Inside Peek At The Award Winning Poker Themed Screenplay “Vegas Knights" - General Poker Forum - FCP Poker Forum (fullcontactpoker.com) I bring up the script because the famous person who made the poker match challenge and actually wrote these words to the person he challenged- "We
