We regret to inform you that your snidely condescending dismissal of her praise of your riposte to his commentary on her response is unworthy of publication in McSweeneys. Thank you for your submission and best wishes for the future.

Technically, yes. For purposes of critiquing PLF, banal is indeed the new clever; however I think I invented the alternative spelling b'anal. A little bit of hestitancy between the b and anal. Just let it let hang there, sts.

Call Rogets.

Or not. I don't know. I am on my 40th hour. Soon I will leave, go home to my bachelor pad, silk pajama myself, pour a glass of wine and pass out. Thank god I don't have a porsche or I would be really fucking pathetic.

No all nighters should be the new all nighters.

Why do you save your best material for after Thurgreed goes home for the night?

Dear Str8,
I was told that Tom Cruise and Katie actually met at Scientology, and her whole thing that she is learning about it is a ruse - for more publicity of Scientology. Is this at all true or is someone making shit up? Also, since I know very little about Scientology, I was astounded to learn that....

Among the secrets revealed to adherents who reach the OT3 level is the incident that led to the current evils of the Earth. In leaked documents now posted on the Internet, this incident started with a galactic shake-up 75 million years ago, when an alien ruler sent billions of subjects to this planet to solve an overpopulation problem. These "thetan" souls dispersed and invaded humans. Scientology is the means through which one's Body Thetans (BTs) are purged.

You can bet on who will win the WSOP main event, among other bets, such as odds on a given player making the top 9 - http://www.wsex.com/menu/poker-odds.html

This must be the Seventh Sign, or the Seven Two Sign, or Something.

Remember when Tony Soprano shot his cousin because he knew the other guy would be too cruel? I love you the same way, so think of this in that light:

You are the most obliviously banal. Sorry/Congrats.

I'm not excellent on my time periods of things happening, but based solely on my recent Gun, Germs and Steel read, I'm not thinking that the evidence supports the idea that there were humans around 75 million years ago to invade. Not that the time period is the wackiest thing about this theory, of course.

Ps. People suck. Especially people who make me work when I should be off doing something fun. Fucking bastards.

So that's what Yvgeny Kafelnikov has been up to. 90-1 to make the final table, huh? Better odds than Jennifer Tilly, even.

That's bullshit. How do actual poker players like Clonie and [gag] Ben only do a little better than Leo and LDP?

Lou Diamond Phillips is a pretty good player. My question is whether these odds take into account how the players are doing in the tournament or if these are the odds for everyone at the beginning of day 1. Sure, I could find out whether the tournament has started yet, but instead I just figured I would ask you folks. I agree Clonie's odds should be lower than the celeb players. I wonder if the women pros have longer odds because of how few women make final tables generally. And I've wondered for a while how it works out percentage-wise based on the fact there are so many fewer women players.

So many questions.
