  1. As tempted as I am to bet Barao at + in the rematch, Dilllishaws performance was so strong, I have no idea if he has the right psychology to handle that. I think he (Barao) is the better fighter but the 80% of MMA that's half mental is going to determine who wins this fight. I have a bet taking Brunson, am doing research and will have a position on Jorgensen/Cejudo and medium positions on Anthony Hamilton against Ruan Potts.and newcomer Damon Jackson against Yancy Medeiros.
  2. While I have essentially no interest in 'celebrities', my most recent addiction has been obsessively pouring over the "Blind Items: Revealed" on cdan. Its beginning to effect my life to the point that I'm losing out on quality heroin time. If you didn't know that Hollywood is an amazingly awful place, you will after reading that blog for a week. It's also 100% accurate. You get items like this on cdan: http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2014/08/blind-items-revealed_78.html Months and months before stories like this: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/nicky-hilton-
  3. Anyone else actually practice MMA? I do two days at a local gym that has some legit dudes, pretty fun, not serious about it but just to keep 'sharper than any random ******* in a bar'. Also out of shape, so its weird banging with these completely chiseled guys with infinite cardio and scary leg kicks who move like ninjas. Yesterday I was walking downtown and some tard on a bike hollered "ON YOUR LEFT" then blew be me doing 2000 miles an hour; for some reason it tilted the shit out of me so all day today I practiced spinning elbows. The next guy to do that will wish he hadn't.
  4. I agree on the call by McCarthy. In situations where a fighter goes out, I believe refs should err on the side of stoppage. If anything, that call showed BJMs experience as many less experienced refs wouldn't have made that call, not recognizing that Benson was not capable of intelligently defending himself (which, when the call was made, he was not).
  5. That question depends on the table. Against lagtards, you do need to cull the herd with AA out of position; the problem with 5 limpers is you run into equity issues; it would depend on what the stacks looked like but a pot sized bet isn't enough to make them go away. The only real edge you have here is being in the BB preflop so you can overbet and hopefully take down the limps and blinds right there, or get a stupid caller with a worse hand and hope they don't get a set. The problem with potting it after 5 limpers is that while I'm folding A/Q A/J A/Ts, I'm calling with 2/3 suited, 4/5 o
  6. Is Washington or Colorado better for Marijuana tourism? Hints suggest CO has a better 'scene' but I'm not going for the 'scene' really. Just someplace where there's a reasonably cheap hotel in a decent area in walking distance to a pot shop.
  7. This is the kind of shit that China does right about when the world starts to let their guard down about China not being 'China' and feeling safe about traveling to visit. You think "Oh, China, it's so modern now" its easy to forget how ridiculously totalitarian they are. It's not like we're much better, the difference is, they don't even bother with the bullshit pretexts like we do.
  8. Cerrone/Alvarez has apparently been made for 178 and the line is opened. Not betting, but hope he hands Cerrone his ass not via KO but in a 30-24 mauling with serious, career threatening injuries. Am small Mike Pyle @ +215.
  9. About once a year, I make myself watch 'Requiem For a Dream'. Would suggest anyone who 'responsibly uses' do the same.
  10. Duh yes. Nelson/Hunt. Had Jones on the brain. Line on Nelson/Hunt over 1 1/2 is +130 which seems like a huge bargain. Of course, they both are also knockout artists. Already buying some of this.
  11. Conflicted to buy (+) DHK or not. I've underestimated him forever, this fight is a legit test but I don't put Woodley at #3 (and neither does the line, however betting has steadily and heavily favored Woodley since it opened at +110) On his side; he's actually from Ferguson, MO so fighting with a purpose. He wants that mic after the fight is over for the "wait up, wait up for a second, I juss wanna say somethin' real about the e-vents in ma hometown..." speech. Position on Jones/Hunt Over 1 1/2 rounds @ +130. Hoping for a high three/low four figure + on Werdum by Sub, will take a ta
  12. Only a matter of time before BATF declares those to be MG's. I'm well aware of what the eLawyer Internet Juris Doctorates say as to why they technically aren't but those people are naive. The real fun begins when they seize the customer list of the manufacturers and begin sending out letters and/or agents to 'collect them'. One letter ruling from the Tech Branch with their own 'interpretation' of why 'simulated auto fire' devices are NFA and that's that. That's how the law works and that's what naive people and 'internet legal theorists' who've never seen the law in action don't understa
  13. Not even one taker for "7200 a year"?
  14. I can get a 'sexy maid' to clean my house naked for $150 and give me a handie when she's done for an extra $50. . 3 times a week, that's only $7200 a year. Seems like a better deal than insuring the life of a housewife when the liability column contains half your shit. How do you even calculate your ev on a life insurance payoff for a wife? Hourly units of future whores?
  15. Boetsch with the Dead Man Walking TKO. Was tempted to take a bit of him but didn't. Bummer.
  16. Playing anything Clapton has ever played isn't 'hard'. He gets credit for being an innovator on the instrument. Its easy to lose sight of the fact that the electric guitar 'as we know it' was invented in the 1930's but wasn't used prominently in popular music until the 50's. The guys in the 60's- of which he is one- were the first to push the boundaries but for your typical GenX/GenY middling type who was raised during the 1980's and uber-technique shred, nothing Clapton ever did will pose much of a challenge if you started out wanting to play like Jason Becker. Where he gets credit-
  17. Not much funnier than watching random Spanish overdubbed clips of Robin Williams movies on Telemundo.
  18. The 80's was a low point for every artist who emerged from one of the most legit musical decades ever- the 70's- and still had bad habits to feed. Don't bullshit yourself. A large part of the 'legend' of Hendrix or Morrison is that they didn't live long enough cut cut a duet with Chaka Khan and a Keytar. Was Claptons output in the 80's his best? No. Money and Cigarettes was below average but 'Unplugged' is when he really brought it all together. It represented a total abandonment of commercial interest and a return to his own musical vision which resulted in a quasi-ironic masterpiece.
  19. Normally I don't bother playing other peoples shit. Joao Gilberto and Jobim, some classical stuff, some Joe Pass, a random song here or there. 'Unplugged' is the only album I've ever bothered to learn cover to cover. Every song. Technically speaking it's all pretty simple- Signe is about as tricky as it gets and it's really not that hard- but the whole album is like a perfect cheese pizza. Watershed moment in music, that's for sure.
  20. My favorite album of all time is "Clapton: Unplugged:" Just to be clear; I still buy CD's, my last purchase was the Art Tatum boxed set. I own the complete works of most major classical composers. Hipsters curl up in the fetal position, shit themselves and sob in an overwhelming sense of resigned inferiority in the presence of my music collection, mostly vinyl but including stuff like one-off reel to reel live bootlegs. Here's the first ever recorded Jazz Album. I can transcribe by ear. Explain to me how Clapton: Unplugged is 'rocks version of Kenny G'?
  21. They are the scum of the earth.
  22. Probably a retard. Foaming-at-the-mouth gun nuts are almost always going to be morons, though. I'm not talking ordinary gun owners, I'm not taking shooting sports enthusiasts. I'm talking people whose entire existence and sense of self is consumed by being 'the gun guy'. Once upon a time, I was a part of that world. I speak from experience. I met some legit great people there but the 'gun world' is absolutely filled with the biggest kooks and delusional fantasists imaginable. Over the years, it's gotten dramatically worse. 10+ years ago, the gun scene was pretty benign, a bunch of whi
  23. The internet is an environment. Environments attract compatible creatures. 'Comment sections' of anything (Youtube being the best example, where the absolute lowest form of internet vermin are apt to exist) tend to be an environment that attract a particular kind of urchin that is in no way representative of humanity as much as it is representative of the sort of shitbags that sit around all day making internet comments. People who spend their lives on the internet tend to suck- hard- at real life, which is reflected in their dumb opinions. The internet becomes the outlet for the bil
  24. I doubt he's rich. Kyacey Uscola got 10 years for beating his girl to the point of broken bones and he didn't have prior DV convictions. The MMA thing is a hugely aggravating factor, as it rightfully should be, if you beat the tar out of some random civilian. I really think he gets dunked- hard- here. He deserves being sent away until he's an old man and statistically less of a threat to society. I got the over.
