So, I always get a kick out of the following:

There's always a tv on down here (tuned to some financial channel) and people keep the volume on low from their phones (which have speakers connected to the tv). So, there's some commercial that comes on every 10 minutes or so (it seems), and the background music is that falsetto song "I'm forty-five for a moment..." blah blah blah. When that commercial comes on, every last one of them hums it and sings along (quietly, but it's unmistakeable). Doesn't really match the image they otherwise try constantly to project.

You should be making fun of their manhood constantly over this. Seriously. Buy them all the CD single and wrap it with a pink bow for their hair. This is your moment to shine.

Doesn't this need a comma?

He's also, what, a B-cup?

So they've reached the money (569) at the WSOP. Not a lot of recognizable names left among those 569. Greg Raymer's in the top 10 though, and has to be considered a real threat. Phil Ivey's in the middle of the pack. Layne Flack's apparently been a big threat all along, and is in the top 100. Paul Darden's still around, and interestingly, 2002 WSOP $10,000 NL champ Robert Vakroyni's WIFE is in the top 100. I saw John Juanda's name on the list and a couple of others I recognize, but it looks very likely that a no-name will win it this year.

they all sound shorter than me.

You have to look around on the internet for one. The posters don't control what is in the preselecteds.

Hell, the admins (at least this one) don't control what are in the preselecteds.

It's ok. In the next photo (that Hank didn't post), she comes to her senses, loses that zombie-like stare and pushes Basedow into that mcmansion pool. Don't worry about Maryann!

Glad to hear that -- I was getting an ulcer.

GWNC, you should provide us with a Dear FB letter outlining your exploits!!!!! I am bored now that I no longer share the details of my life with the board. Man, does my life ROCK right now though. Too bad some of you (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) crushed my admirable spirit and made me not want to post stuff anymore.

Oh, Flinty; you were always my favorite.

Where does one find this "CD single" thing? That would be hilarious, actually.

I thought he might find it unflattering. I've had my ass kicked enough of late.

I would say so. But a spirited B-cup.
