Poker?? I Hardly Know 'Er

Does anyone else want to smack the crap out of WSOP winner Jamie Gold....or is just me? Watch the repeats on ESPN2..he's the goob with the mountain of chips in frot of him and the mouth that won't quit. The other fellas sit and say nothing. Nada. This guy's up and down telling everyone they should fold, that he has a killer hand...ad infintum. Crap man, shut yer fucking cakehole and play cards. I wanted nothing more to see him go down in flames but alas, he won the whole kitandkaboodle. I wanted that Richard Lee guy to win. The 55 year old grandfather from Texas. What a great competitor and most importantly, a great sport. Class act.
Yeah Jamie Gold is taking his 12 milion dollar first prize and he's going to take care of his ailing dad, who has Lou Gehrigs disease and that's admirable. I just wish he'd shut that trap of his.

At Verizon, We Hate (oops) LOVE Our Customers

We have Verizon DSL. It is usually a nice zippy way to cruise the Internet. Unless you live in my development. Some time ago, the Verizon knuckleheads were in our area digging holes along our sidewalks and burying cables fo their new fiber-optic thingers. They have done something bad in the process. See all the wiring for our phones and DSL is in a small 'tower'. on the strip of grass betwix me and our neighbor. The tower is solid plastic and seems sturdy at glance. However, the tower doesn't sit flush to the ground and the base of the tower is in a wee bit of a hole. Follow? Good. Now the wiring at the bottom of the tower is exposed. And every. fucking. time it rains our Internet experience is sow fucking awful it would make the Dali Lama scream and kick the dog. Honestly. it is WORSE than dial-up. It took me almost half an hour to download 2 songs from iTunes. Unbelievable. On top of that we have a humming in our pohone line that makes phone conversations near impossible. The Lovely One has called customer service several times in the past two weeks and still we have this problem. A gentleman even came out to "repair" the problem. He lifted the tower, allowed about 20 ounces of water to drain from it and then left. It worked great, Until the next rainfall, and if you follow this crapola blog you know it rains here more than Cambodia. She called the number for DSL cutomer service only to be told the problem was in our phone line. Nice. So we pay for a service we cannot use. Nice fucking scam you guys have going.

66th place. You Poor bastard

I have been following the World Series of Poker on ESPN and I have to say. I'm kinda hooked. Maybe it's all the great poker faces or maybe it's the way these guys (and some fiesty ladies) gamble with huge sums of cash. Thousand dollar chips are flying around like condoms at a Bill Clinton support rally.
Impressive to say the least. The guy who finished 66th got like 100k. First place is 12 Miilllllliiion dollars. 12 million dollars. Say that, out loud, tou yourself a few times.
I could not play in that because I have no PokerFace. I have been told on numerous occasions, by several different people that I walk around with a look on my face that says 'I'm up to no good...' Imagine. Me. anyways..pocket Aces and I'm sure I'd break into a jig right there. Goodbye twelve million dollars..
Spoke with a former co-worker tonight via AOHell. She is doing well since leaving the Zoo. About to get a nice big raise in fact. As a matter o' fact, I think she may or may not have said something to the effect of buying me a Jag for Christmas. But that could be the Sam Adams talking.
I worked yesterday. We are workign on a huge job for ScrewintheElderly Insurance Co. We get massive jobs dumped in our laps and given half the time we need to get them done. Very frustrating. So frustrating in fact that only MEself went in to work on it. Well my Boss was there and another soul. But the rest of the lads said no dice.
The weekend flies by when you work one of the days. More frustrating is the fact that the Lovely One works every other Saturday and we are on schedules where I work when she's home and she works when I'm home.
Well short entry tonight. Be sure to vote in my poll in the sidebar. New question every week.
