Yeah, well figuring the pot odds kind of go out the window when you stand to lose nothing IRL by calling and can reload your fake bankroll whenever you want...

Are you kidding? The 2 dumbest people on the planet met, dated, and didn't mate. Frankly, I'm grateful.

this reminds that I recently read in US or the Star Magazine or one of those fanzines that P.Diddy's assistant, that Bentworth dude, asserts that you're not validated until you receive 7 hugs a day. at minimizzle. I think I will go and hug my cubicle mate mario now.

That, and lose to a 7-2 with pocket Aces. Or maybe that is related to what you just said.

You guys need to play with real money. Or someone needs to raise pre-flop. That's ridiculous.

Go to the library, highlight all the folk entries and change the artist name to " generic crappy folk artist." Then only one entry will show up on the iPod. Worked wonders to hide the fact I have a 7 CD 70s compilation on mine.

You think? I'm all for losing my real money at a no-limit table--honestly, I think I'd mind it less than losing my fake money that way. My AA was cracked twice last time by hangers-in, I wasn't being fancy, I bet or raised or re-raised everything, and still got killed by guy with a set of fives on the river.

I've tried teaching people how to play without money. You just can't do it. You have to be dead money at least once.

Not that we're not all dead money in poker clubs/casinos, but you get what I mean.

LOS ANGELES - Pop singer Britney Spears is engaged to her dancer boyfriend, Kevin Federline. A British tabloid is reporting that the couple became engaged because Spears, 22, is pregnant. The News of the World reported that Spears in expecting the couple's first child in late December. The report said that Britney would like to be married by November, well before the baby is born.

The only good thing that I take out of this situation is that I figure she'll have the kid, her career will be in the basement, and she'll pose nude for Playboy. Oh yeah, that, and we know that she likes to fuck.

Speaking of pop tarts, caught an episode of Newlyweds over the weekend. Jessica looked great -- much better than in her TV ads, etc lately. Nick came across as a witless tool most of the time. Show in general was surprisingly watchable and may make the must-see list.

I haven't remembered to catch any shows this season. But she is hot as hell on the show, especially when they've caught her just out of bed, in her robe and her hair perfectly tousled. And Nick is the best -- any guy with that much money who moves himself out of his condo by renting a U Haul moving truck with a manual transmission has got to be cool.

This little scandal might actually rekindle my interest in Trading Spaces.

"Well exaggerate this, Paige: you were caught on camera. Photos of her mid-strip are in this week's Star magazine, showing Davis in a sheer thong, legs open, with men's hands mauling her breasts. Who's lying, Paige?"

Ok, who has a copy of the Star magazine with Paige in it?

Doesn't anyone drive a manual anymore?

Britney, manual transmissions, and Jessica Simpson. If someone posted a poll within the past day and a half, I'd have entered FB heaven.

Okay, former infrequent infirm poster semi lurker first time poster here with a weird workplace situation.

Recently lateraled to a new firm and for the second time in a month I walked into the men’s room to find a relatively senior partner at one of the urinals with his trousers and boxers pulled all the way down, taking a pisser. Now for the uninitiated here, like those of you blessed with vaginas or the few dandy-boys who pee seated, guys don’t pull their trousers down to pee. We unzip them, pull it out the fly hole and whiz, with the notable exceptions being young boys just learning the ropes and kids who take the short bus, both of which groups have special dispensation to drop trou to pee.

With that in mind, I have now had the displeasure to catch more than a glimpse of this guy’s pimpled and pockmarked ghost-white hairy ass cheeks staring at me from the urinal stand. Did I mention he weighs about 350 pounds? What in the freaking hell is the deal with this? I do not get paid special wages for a psychologically hazardous job and should not have to be subjected to this. Certainly this cannot be acceptable professional behavior can it?

I mentioned this to one of the other associates who does not seem like a backstabber and he too has seen the dark side of the moon and the word in the firm is that this guy has a medically diagnosed phobia of urine and fears any backsplash on his clothing. While I think this is psychobabble b.s., that’s fine if he believes it but then take your fat ass into a stall and spare the rest of us.

So long story short, I don’t know what to do or what I can do but I can’t bear the thought of being exposed to this guy’s ass on any periodic basis and while I would love to walk in on him and ask what the fuck he is thinking and perhaps even plant the sole side of my Kenneth Coles in his butt, I really don’t have a career death wish. Yet.

So I am thinking of either going to a website that sends anon emails to people with hygiene problems, although I doubt seriously if there is a standard “dude, stop showing me your bare ass when you pee” email; or sending the HR administrator an anon email pointing out the problem and maybe noting that this is a hostile workplace type of scenario, i.e. harassment.

Knowing that the crowd here is fairly racy and rude I wonder if anyone can think up a better idea of how to deal with this without impairing my career trajectory.

Help, please.

I suggest the direct approach. Sidd is actually pretty friendly once you get to know him.
