Boycott Black Friday!

 

black-friday-shopping

 

Today is “Black Friday,” or what I call, “the Great American Stampede.”

Think of millions of buffalo storming off a cliff.

Seriously, have you seen what goes on at malls and stores?  People line up at midnight.  Why?  To go shopping!

That’s right, SHOPPING.

What are people thinking?  Or smoking?  Or snorting?  Instead, couldn’t they have gone out and bought all that shit no one needs yesterday, or last week, or last month, you know — when most of the stores were empty and you could easily find a sales associate with a smile eager to help?  What idiot wants to stand out in the cold, fight crowds, wait in long lines, and get horrible service?  Well, it appears the answer is — just about anyone with a credit card and a pulse.

Today is the worst day ever invented by humankind.  It’s a capitalist conspiracy designed to stir the masses into a buying frenzy.  It’s an outlandish marketing campaign intended to drive more Americans further into debt.  It’s the third-world slave labor employment act.

My Rant Against “The Crepe” at Tivolli Village (Las Vegas)

 

the-crepe

 

How fucking difficult is it to make a crepe?

Well, it might as well be rocket science if you’re dining at the newest cafe-restaurant which just opened up at Tivolli Village, in Summerlin.  Wanna’ guess what the name of this new place is?  Try this:  The Crepe.

The most outrageous thing about our lunchtime visit today was — WE NEVER GOT ANY CREPES!

Can you fucking believe it?

Maybe they should rename this place The Air.  Or, The Wait.  That was the full extent of our lunch.  I’ll say this, it’s one helluva good place to go on a diet and lose weight.  Everything on the menu is low fat.  Er, make that no fat.

Here’s what happened.

My NFL “Fuck It” Specials

 

Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs mating

 

WARNING:  FOR ADULTS ONLY

 

Fuck this!

Here I am working my ass off giving the public free gold, and then these bullshit games don’t turn out as they’re supposed to.

Total horseshit!  It’s so wrong.

Consider two games played last week.  Chalk up a $4,200 swing and losing my lunch to the inexplicable forces of the universe.

Recall that I touted the “UNDER 45” in the Philadelphia-Oakland game.  That should have been an absolute cakewalk.  Like minting fucking money.  Hell, I already went out and spent what I was supposed to win from that game.

So instead of winning and cashing, what really happened?  Those two piss ant offenses ended up combing to score 69 points!  There is no fucking way Philadelphia and Oakland were supposed to score anything like that.  I mean, you show me some kind of evidence where you could see Philadelphia showing up for a road game and putting up SEVEN FUCKING TOUCHDOWNS.

A Day in the WSOP Life (Caught On Video)

 

 

For most of my 20 or so years in poker, I’ve been the one asking the questions and carving out the narrative.  In short, I often held the spotlight rather than standing in it.

However, there’s been an increasing media reversal lately, as I’m frequently asked to be the subject of features and interviews.  The tables seemed to have turned, sometimes more than I would like.

While not entirely comfortable with this prospect, I hope the attention is, at least in part, due to some of the revelations from this blog.  Perhaps not.  Maybe it’s just being involved in poker for a long time and seeing a lot of different things and meeting all kinds of interesting people.  Most everyone likes good stories and inside information.

Last summer, Remko Rinkema (a poker journalist from Holland, see:  RENKOMEDIA) followed me around for a full day at the World Series of Poker with a film crew.  This was back during the first week in June during a record heat wave.  Temperatures climbed towards the 120-degree mark.

Remko and his crew came to my home, filmed me out in the backyard during the morning (drinking wine, of course), went with me running in the heat, and then drove with me into work at the Rio where some behind the scenes poker action was filmed.

Remko did a nice job on this.  However, I was a bit flustered towards the end of the feature and that showed in the segment.

We spent a lot of time talking about politics, history, and philosophy.  When those subjects come up, I can ramble on forever.  That’s pretty obvious in this feature as I’m sure they had to cut around a lot of me ranting and raving.

Anyway, here’s part of my life in a day.

‘Tis the Season? Christmas in August?

 

Christmas at Costco

 

Would someone please explain to me what the fuck is going on?

Am I stuck inside a giant time machine?

Today, it was 106 degrees outside.  One-ohhh-six.  I haven’t lost a single dollar on the NFL regular season, yet.  A few days ago, we went to a summer barbecue.

Of course, all this can mean only one thing.

That’s right — it’s Christmas season.
