Wow. You completely murdered the FB with this post.

Gambling's one of those activities you can only enjoy, and is only interesting, while you're actually doing it.

I simply can't understand watching poker. Its really fun to play, but try as I might, I can't watch it. My wife likes watching it and I try to understand, but it just doesn't work. All it does is frustrate me and make me want to hit a blackjack table.

Are there any nude scenes in Jesus is Magic?

Like a rock star. Good vodka will never cause a hangover. Thats old news...

The discovery I'm excited about is how good it tastes mixed with the pomegranate. I hate cranberry juice and think oj and vodka is disgusting. Pomegranateis a perfcetly kinda tart/kinda sweet middle of the road. And it says its full of antioxidants (whatever the fuck they do) as well.

2. It's exciting for about 3 minutes, but after that, meh.

BTW, if you get bored with the current stuff, you should try the "classic poker" reruns that ESPN has. Because they aren't (apparently) creating enough new episodes, they've dug out old footage of the WSOP (or something) from the early 90s, and repackaged it. Of course, there's no hole-cam, so all you see are the common cards. In other words, you're as in the dark as the other players, if not more so. Sure makes for scintillating viewing during the blinds.

The old "World's Strongest Man" contests on ESPN are great- pull a bus up a hill, boulder lift.......

The oddest is the Lumberjack contests. Stump sawing, log rolling.....

Why is there a pot for this? We had a drunk olympics every year during law school- keg toss- hood ride..... and it was way more fun to watch than lumberjack contests, and we were never able to get a sponsor. At most the winner might attract a drunk chubby girl.

So now you only have what, about 6 months to convince the Country Club to stock pomegranate juice in the bar?

Did Steve McQueen go around squawking about how straight-as-a-wall he was?

The straight dude’s guide to ‘Brokeback’
Our intrepid gay columnist has sage advice for his straight brethren

Quote:

You are a heterosexual man. And you have no personal beef with gay people. You’re educated and fairly socially liberal and occasionally listen to NPR and you don’t like to see anyone bashed or discriminated against. You’re no homophobe. You’re proud of yourself.

But your girlfriend/wife/common-law/female or whoever loves that adorable Jake Gyllenhaal has already stated her intentions. When it’s her turn to pick the Saturday night date-movie, you’re seeing “Brokeback Mountain.”

“But I am a heterosexual man,” you’re thinking, “very, very, very, very straight.” And you’re kind of freaking out as the release date quickly approaches — and even the expression “release date” is making you kind of jittery. You’re hoping to remind your female life partner that, while you feel gay people are very wonderful, colorful, witty additions to the human population and that Ellen sure is fun to watch dance in the credit card commercial and that Tom Hanks really deserved that Academy Award for whatever that movie was where he died at the end, that you are very, very, very, very straight and that it should exempt you from seeing Adorable Jake…um… do “it” with Heath Ledger. You really don’t even want to know what “it” entails because you’ve lived this long without finding out. You’re thinking the words “red-blooded,” as in “I am a red-blooded American male, etc,” don’t sound so retro anymore.

I think that number 6 is particularly salient for this crowd:

Quote:

Anne Hathaway, who plays AJ’s wife, gets topless. The End
I think it’s fair to report this and here’s why: as a gay man, the only reason I even agreed to sit through the really stupid remake of “The Longest Yard” was because one of my friends told me you get to see the wrestler Goldberg in the shower. In one scene. That’s it. I sat through the whole thing for one scene. In that respect, my hetero pals, we are all brothers deep inside — it’s just a different brand of naked flesh that ignites our prurience.

Via, as usual, A Perfectly Cormulent Blog's Pete, who helpfully points out that the Hathaway scene in question is 57:55 into the film.

Look, fine. If you really want to go see it, we can go see it. I don't think we needed to argue about it here, though.

Smoking gun has the arrest report for two Playboy models who were charged with public intoxication at the San Antonio airport. From the arrest report: "[Arrested person 2] then made sexual advances on myself and Ofc. Martinez."

Yup. Defamer's take: "It’s like the first three minutes of Sluts on a Plane, the best porno movie never made: Two cops arrive to arrest a pair of drunken, belligerent Playmates who’ve just terrorized the passengers of a two-hour plane ride with their intoxicated antics…the slurring vixens make “sexual advances” to avoid charges…and then get arrested anyway. That’s why it’d never get made."

I think it's kinda cute.

As we have discussed oh so many times, you just long to get into bnb's pants. Or get her skirt flipped up. Whatever.

If you haven't bought it yet, check out the new extended version of the first Stooges record. They really bring the fuzz out in the old Cale mixes.

Not a good disc to hear on the train. Makes me feel like slapping people in the lips...

I'll check it out, but I remain unclear how it makes you feel any different than usual. I just had two business trips to New York and Atlanta, and I felt like slapping lips all over the Eastern seaboard.
