If the idea was to understand odds in a vacuum, sure. Got that covered. But that's not what I'm after (perhaps the original post was unclear) -- having a program allows for practical application of odds in an infinite variety of situations. Rather than trying to figure that my pair of Ks is a 3-1 favorite* when there are two other players in the hand after a 8-3-2 rainbow flop in thirty seconds or less, I'd like to have played that possibility a couple times to have the sense that I'm a strong favorite based on experience before thinking about outs or what anyone else might have.

Learning by doing as opposed to book learning (applies to many subjects, see also law, sex, etc).

public service concerned rockers Hell on Earth, are planning on an on stage suicide to highlight "right to die issues." in a move to prevent this, Fla. city has enacted an ordinance against it- no word if Ashcroft was involved.

Halle Berry's Catwoman costume

Wow. What sort of audience do you suppose that look is designed for?

Apropos of nothing, Ashley turned that role down in order to do a six-month stint on Broadway (see? I did more than merely ogle the cover -- I actually read the article).

Anyway, I love Halle. Unlike Atticus and TM, I believe that Halle and Ashley can coexist peacefully.

FWIW, I dig her. No offense. OTOH, me no watchee MondayNightFootball.

Speaking of which, looks like tomorrow will be a personal K day for you ncs! Let me be the first to offer you big ups on that!

Indeed.

Why thank you, sock king. I'm up to the third draft of the k post. Trying to make it witty and clever. Not too long, not too short. With something in it for everyone. LOL inspiring, yet poignant. A real feel good post that will be cherished for ages and carried around in fber wallets across the country.


And because I have this daunting task, I will combine posts to mention to TF that she has my empathy on the Heatley/Snyder car wreck -- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?cnn=yes

No words can do this picture more justice than the horrified look on her face knowing she must now go home and boil her hand but, what I will say is that First Lady Laura is fo shizzle one classy and beautiful women. Quite a change from that black pantsuited piece of fatass that we had to endure for 8 hellacious years.

W did good. Fo shizzle.

Unfortunately, I recently discovered that Chirac worked at the Anheuser Busch plant in St. Louis at some point in his life.

"I still like a Bud," he said before an interview Tuesday, recalling time he spent hauling Budweiser beer while operating a forklift at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis 50 years ago."

Don't get me wrong, he still gives me the creeps but his like of Budweiser certainly helps to tone down the fucking French thing.


Sort of a surreal day what with the accident happening right after seeing them at the party last night. Deep thoughts for Dany and Dan.
:sniffle:


edited to thank ncs. Sometimes I feel more attached to these guys than to my own family -- I gotta work on this sports neurosis.

Oh, Brother Penske.

Let us put down that rock before flinging it at the glass house of PLF. Upping the ante like this will only increase the inevitable pressure for negative stories on you to emerge.

Like, that night when you started drinking "tea" and next thing you know, we're talking about your joys of posting as Hillary's Big Ol' Butt.* Penske, friend, I'm here for ya in the ensuing lawsuit, but I'm just sayin'.

PS - Did see Rundown last night -- wasn't bad. Exactly what you would expect. Midnight Run meets Commando meets Raiders of the Lost Ark, with none of the best of those movies but it worked anyway.

Thanks for quoting this, since I missed it the first time.

How could you hate a movie that's basically just a live action cartoon?

But it's not a good live action cartoon, dumbass.

Originally posted by evenodds Tell you what Thurgreed . . . how about we send you a copy of Titanic or the English Patient to make up for it, since that must be a little more your speed.

That makes sense. Your movie recs suck so I must like Titanic, the second worst movie (behind Pearl Harbor) ever.

Well, given the post title, and my reaction, I would say ME.

Now back away. It said "just" for Bilmore, didn't it?

You preferred a derivative studio flick to Once Upon a Time in Mexico? From here on out, Thurgreed, please ignore all my movie recommendations.

Here's a question more your speed:

Was 2 Fast 2 Furious faster and furiouser than the original?

PLF is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

I said Brenda. Hillary's ass is double wide. There is a subtle difference.

Argh. She is now relegated to interviewing Brett Favre's daughter and saying stupid things about him being a whispering/ballcap wearer coach. Any bets on whether she lasts the season? Truly awful. I guess they thought she might at least remember his name.

You know when the network flashes those polls during games and asks you to log on to participate and you think to yourself, how do they get so many participants -- are there really that many losers sitting there in front of the tv with their laptops in their laps waiting to take a poll or post on some board while they're watching the game?

I used to wonder who these idiots were.

Now that's a thought. I'd like to see just how peaceful they could get together.

Ashley's come so far since her "Star Trek" cameo.

And I don't see why Halle and Ashley can't coexist. Unless Ashley's gonna start a catfight with Halle over the babealicious Fred Durst.

Two comments about Lisa that were made last night while drinking Schlitz and Hamms:

(1) I guess she looks better than usual, which isn't saying much.

(2) How can boobs look that big in a leather jacket?


Ohio State could beat the Bears. I'm embarrassed.
