The other side of the coin: I am just like you, Beansey
I strive to help people out and entertain myself at the same time....

I dont imagine the Niggos are as much fun drinking prune juice and yelling at the puter....WOOOOOOOOOOT
Sal knows that I love him and his mustached faceyou walked around the corner and saw your married buddy making out with some random, or taking a beej in the bathroom, whatever, would you tell your wife so she could tell his wife, or would you rat him out directly, or ignore it? Question goes to all.
First of all, HE SHAVED IT OFF ALREADY!And secondly, cross post that question in the army thread...That way we can have numerous first hand reports (along with pics) of that same situation, although since the wives would be on the corner as well it wouldnt be exactly the same I guess

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

For now, I've settled on learning sign language, and I'm on my way (very slowly).
Solid choice. I'd suggest getting a friend to learn it too. Me and a buddy took an ASL class our first year of college, and lemme tell you there's nothing like being able to sign with someone else in social situations where you're the only 2 that knows what's going on.

I was going to give a "yikes" about your Sal bashing, but then I realized that he's probably proud of that stuff.
no it's ok. we all know ron's cognitive abilities are, how should I say, "not as advanced" as others here, so I tend to let it slide when he makes a redneck joke or infers that I'm a republican. he's just trying to fit in.

oh, uh, hey there ron. go ahead and don't read that post above this one. not of any importance to you really; no need to.
I'll have housekeeping updates later tonight, maybe. Nothing interesting.
WHAT THE FUCK MAN HURRY UP.now, my serious response on the whole helping/ratting out a friend scenario: it's different for every situation, and we don't have enough info on brv's situation to know whether it warranted a "ratting out" or not, not to mention that he didn't actually rat the guy out anyways. however, if you had a close friend who had a gambling problem (or other problem, but like I said, each situation has it's own variables and would have to be addressed as individually) and you KNEW it was severely affecting his and his family's lives, you have an obligation as a good person (i.e. wang's situation) to help him in some way, be it an intervention with other friends, telling his wife so she can help (assuming she isn't a raging bitch and he'd be better off without her, which is always a possibility), or some other method. if you're that good of a friend, you would never sit back and watch somebody completely ruin their lives when you have the power to do something to stop them, even if it means it may ruin the friendship. that being said, I'd never intervene in a problem like this because I don't care about anybody enough to go out of my way to help them. fuck 'em.

My lord, Deb and her daughter have been watching some god awful musical, Mama Mia and if it don't end soon I'm going to drive an icepick in my ear. I swear it's so bad I heard some old ladies screeching ABBA out there.the only thing saving me right now is some delicious apple pie and ice cream :smileyassface:
My wife put this shit in and I immediately went to the pc loaded up some stars put on headphones and multitabled in to the night. If you have to draw a line somewhere fkn musicals is that place IMO

Oh thanks, but it was only around $200 bucks that I won. No reason to be giddy.
Still giddy because of the Cutler trade. Gonna pull out my Kevin Butler jersey...just need a C. Nice cash. Go join S7S new group of students this month.
Yes, I finally caught a glimpse of the mysterious blonde girlfriend. I think I could take her in a catfight.
on a more positive note, I'm up to girl number 257 on that Guess the Muff website that was posted yesterday. I'm working my way backwards to number 1, Casey Kasem style. Ponderous man, fcking ponderous. Please tell me someone gets that reference?
I can dance to it.
well what the hell are we supposed to talk about between updates on the KU election?
Good thing Beans is keeping us updated.
I recently watched the '79 NCAA Champtionship game (Magic vs Bird)...Bird with the moustache and short-shorts is how I picture Rando out there on the court.
I think most here know how much of a duel this was, just wonder how many other current NCAA players really know. Magic was just a freak then. A guard 6'8"? WTF and he played all 5 positions?
also, fwiw, Slumdog Millionaire was definitely a good movie. I was leery, not Dawson Leery or anything, but I'm not usually a fan of all things India, but the movie was very very good. I liked the premise and how they told the story. Worth a watch if you like movies at all.
Saw it last month when we in FL. The wife walked out when the acid "scene" took place. The outhouse scene according to IMBD had the kid dropping down into peanut butter and chocolate. Would have been better if it was real poop.
I love bob
I quoted this cause I thought you said BOOB!Fun weekend. Stopped by Nordstrom's to pick up the wife's birfday present on my way home from work on Friday. She was happy...and when I mean she was happy I mean her mouth on my wienis happy. Nice dinner downtwn Friday night at the Firehouse. Upstairs was all decorated for some Olympic party the next night.Saturday was the racetrack. She loves horses and has owned them. She met up with some e-friends she met on a horseracing blog. What a weirdo. Hawthorne racetrack is not the nicest place and the clientele' IQ is about room temperature . Her e-friends were ok, a 20 something Jimmy Fricke-looking guy that missed winning $600 in a four race pick thing, an older guy ( 75ish) that easily could have been a child molester, and a 30 something guy that looked like his latest sporting achievement was running to first base and not tripping in his last T-ball game. There were a lot of Stakes racese Saturday. We won $150.Looking forward the Masters. Tiger - even money lock.

Looking forward the Masters. Tiger - even money lock.
I am putting together a Masters for-funsies gambling pool. There's going to be an entry fee (probably like 20 bucks or some trivial amount), and the rules will be something like:Everybody gets the same Odds Sheet (probably ripped from Pinny today or tomorrow), and you pick 10 golfers. If your golfer finishes in the top 10, he cashes.Say one of your plays is Robert Karlsson at 80-1. If he wins, you get 80 points. If he takes second, you get 72 points (90% of 80), if he takes third, you get 64 points (80% of 80), etc., all the way down to 8 points for 10th. Whomever has the highest aggregate point total wins. I'm thinking about splitting it into 3 tiers. Winner (100%), Top 5 (20%), Top 10 (10%). So if Karlsson takes 7th, you get 8 points. Same with 6th or 8th. If he finishes 2nd, though, you get 16 points. Same with 4th. If he wins you get 80. I'm leaning toward the former, but I'm not certain yet. Anybody here who wants in, just email me @ ShimmeringWang@gmail.com and I'll send you a full list of rules, etc. 100% payout (less cost of money orders or whatever) obviously.

Wangbear, have you ever considered writing a book about sports betting? It's pretty clear to me that you know a lot about the subject and have some original insights and strategies that could prove marketable, especially in these tough economic times.

If you remove my long-term positions -- futures I hedged out of or sold off -- and my arbitrage/scalp profits, I'm stuck like 30% of my bankroll since the beginning of the calendar year. I... do not believe anybody would give a flying fuck what I have to say.That being said, I am pretty awesome at it. Putting my thoughts on paper and trying to distribute it would imply I think my thoughts are of sufficient value to warrant, like, people reading it in their spare time, and we all know I don't like myself that much. You are: simply too kind, Lady Wilhelmina.

I really enjoy your use of colons.Also, the gen poke people will tell you results don't matter when it comes to establishing your credentials to teach someone. It's up to us to prove you would not be a good teacher and you must do so without using results.

Wang, I shot you an email.This weekend for Greek Week a few houses put on parties and one of them is always a mock casino. My friends and I decided to learn to play craps, and man, I see why that game is addicting. So much fun. Especially since it was just us playing we were all betting the "don't pass" line against each other. I imagine I'll be broke in about a month from playing at the casino.

Are you getting hammered with MSU money tonight?Hopefully this 8 word question gets a 500 word response breaking down the matchup...
I haven't even dealt that game yet. I have to balance a few things and come up with an optimal number. 1) A lot of my players have MSU to win it all at 20-1. I've already sold this entire amount off and locked in a profit. 20-1 was a very bad price, and I sold it off between +2750 and +3000. Based on the way I hedged, I have a small stake in MSU to win it all. If MSU wins, I end up +14x. If NC wins, I end up +8x. Basically I have a 6x freeroll on Sparty.2) Some of my players will hedge, probably. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the moneyline yet, but I'll probably just deal an obviously horrible number -- like UNC-420/Sparty+300 -- so anybody who likes Sparty won't get a great price, and anybody who wants to hedge will have to pay a steep price. This is suboptimal from a profit-maximizing standpoint, but it's really low-risk, and I'm fine with that.3) I have a feeling my Sparty-futures-holding players will be inclined to hold steady and not play a side, and I'll get about 2-1 Sparty action from the rest. I'm leaning towards making the send-out number (in the next hour or so) UNC-7.5 -105, Sparty+7.5 -115. Then, if Sparty gets hit really hard early, I can move it to Sparty-120/UNC+100. More likely, however, is UNC players trying to get on that number early (which means they'll get a solid price). I'm fine with that, since it'll allow me to keep my ledger pretty balanced tonight. I'm usually a profit optimizer, but tonight I'm going to be really cautious, and do whatever I can to ensure nobody gets a good price on Sparty.Anyway, it's going to be a fun game of cat and mouse that only I will understand, because most of my clients is mad niggerish.Wang

i only skimmed that, but i'm fairly certain i didn't understand a word of it. is it really SPORTS! talk if you have to think so much and do math? i submit that you are, in fact, doing homework.

You know what's kind of hilarious? I seriously didn't even see the "invisible" type, even though the FCP spellchecker doesn't recognize the word "matchup" (nor "FCP," apparently), and I got a dotted-red underline when I quoted that I just didn't think seemed out of place.I am... so predictable.

Perhaps the problem is systemic? I have an excel spreadsheet I can use to do all the maths for me, including the probable outcomes depending on what numbers I deal and how my clients respond. The game is mostly anticipating my subset of the wagering public's reaction to different numbers, and making sure I don't get tagged too bad when I miscalculate.And, yes, it ends up being a lot like homework, except I always do it.

Maybe this will help qualify where we stand. Brv, if you were out having drinks, or whatever it is you do for fun, and you walked around the corner and saw your married buddy making out with some random, or taking a beej in the bathroom, whatever, would you tell your wife so she could tell his wife, or would you rat him out directly, or ignore it? Question goes to all.
Wang's Answer:I would never tell. I don't think I could lie to my wife if she asked me directly, but I'd hide it from her as best I could, and go so far as to say things like, "Don't ever ask me question about my business."
I agree with Wang's answer on this, but it doesn't apply to my situation. This is my situation:
I would get in my buddy's face, make him feel guilty, and bust his chops really, really hard about it, because that is a horrible thing to do, but I would never rat him out. It's even worse if I'm really good friends with the wife -- like we all went to college together, and maybe I knew her first or something -- because now I'm in a pretty ****ed up spot.The REAL question is, if you saw the girl cheating on her husband, and you're friends with both of them, would you tell? If so, you're probably a hypocrite, right? I don't know the answer to that.
...and as you can see, it's a problem:
That is an interesting dilemma, one I'd have to think long and hard on. I guess it depends on the friend, what the wife looked like, if I could black mail her into some head for myself, and a myriad of other factors. But seriously, excellent question. On one hand, I'd want to stay out of it, on the other, I'd want to look out for my friend. I know I wouldn't say anything unless I was positive. I know if I saw her tongue deep with a random, I'd confront her. Beyond that, I have no idea.

although, your inability to narrow down the quote helps me figure out who this is. Actually, I don't care to put any thought into it at all. Good luck with the funny.

Good thing she didn't take you by the ear to the CMA over at the MGM last night. The noise coming from the televison box last night was bad. I was unfortunately within earshot of it.Pickler looked hot I must say.
I hit the Ocho by 8 AM this morning. If you count my trip at 12:30 AM, I surpassed it. This is not a good start to the day. Goddamn lactose intolerance.
You sure RR didn't put a little ground up Maalox in the special rub he sent?
