CaneBrain 95 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 After you finish rambling, what say we put Lori on and engage in some HP chat? Wow best idea I have heard yet!! Hate to admit this, but it was pure torture upon finishing Book 6.....I finished it in about 12 hours and then I had to wait and wait and wait for others I knew to finish so I could discuss it with them without ruining the surprise death.....I needed to talk about it to get through it! I know it sounds lame but whatever I am a big ole lame-o then. Link to post Share on other sites

Snape has to be a good guy in the end......i hope? First thing that popped into my head was exactly what you just said. But JK rowling is a really good plot spinner and she has been manipulating our view of Snape this whole time with some people suspecting him (harry, ron, sirius) and others vouching for him (dumbledore, hermione, lupin, etc.) She has set it up SO well. Now you dont know what to think about Snape....and she has made it clear that Snape will be a crucial character in the 7th book (no surprise now obviously).Cant wait for book 7, dammit.

That’s everyday!He talks to lawyers all day...no wonder he so messed up :!: PS. Why was Mikey in jail? Link to post Share on other sites

foodbanker 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Ok..pretty funny stuff but I can't believe that you were not in conversation as much as you posted. I'm sure you gave them 3 allot jabs. Or has the married life left us with a kindler, gentler, more reserved Daniel? Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I was not that suprised with the comments made from Mike and Phil H, but Phil Gordon surprised me a bit. How could he think he is more famous than Hellmuth, on TV he comes off as being confident but not to the point where he thinks he is more well known than Phil Hellmuth.Gordon undoubtably has a much higher Q rating than Hellmuth. Poker players (and everyone else) are clueless about things not in their domain and internet posters tend to think their opinions are the final answer. Case in point, my post just now. Phil Gordon is a smart guy... so trust him. He knows when he is out of his league unlike others and does not brag to boost himself.Now of course among "poker players" the ratings would be different. I keep meeting pros who are surprised that Phil Laak is so recognizable. Link to post Share on other sites
offsuitbluff 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 thats one funny group.i'm still laughing at madasow saying he would have won the heasd up tourney but he was in the slammer!thats just funny! Link to post Share on other sites

JK does know how to leave a cliffhanger doesn't she? The HP chat rooms are full of rumors and speculation about the last book.

aadams_22 3 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 That celebrity poker showdown gig plays in a lot of houses...unfortunately..I completely agree with that. I absolutely cringe when the celebrities shout out their moves:I FOLD (instead of just folding)I RAISE (and give an explanation to why they are doing it)I don't think Gordon is doing himself any justice by commentating for that show. He would be much better served doing Poker Superstars on Fox Sports or various poker coverage for ESPN so they could get rid of Norman (insert lame ex-wife joke) Chad. I didn't like Chad subbing for Wilbon and Kornheiser on PTI and I don't like him on the WSOP coverage. Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like there is still so much to tell. I will be sad to see it all end....she better have a damn happy ending up her sleeve!I think I would prefer it if Snape is a bad guy.....but if she has some special twist for him that would be ok too I guess.
