Fell down the stairs once, onto a concrete floor, about 3 or 4 from the bottom, hit the floor and did a roll, would have ben ok if it was not for the metal support pole....spent a few weeks with a bruise on my back..... that Jujutsu training as a kid came in handy more than once that way.

One time I was sitting on an inexpensive couch and it fell through, and my body ended up falling into the wire beneath. Left what amounts to a small scar that took weeks to heal.

You all probably know this story but the moral is a bit different:

While walking down the street one day a corrupt Senator was hit by an automobile and tragically died. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
...
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

(then he goes to heaven and has the expected experience with harps etc)

I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell...

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil smiles at him and says,

"Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted.."

Vote wisely

You do realize this will rapidly degenerate into Four Yorkshire men

Guess even the Christian afterlife has a state of karma.

I played at a casino today. I actually doubled my money, went full tilt, and lost it all.
But, it's cool. The tilt started with winning a 50-some dollar pot and making the mistake of seeing it as money instead of chips, but it got my nerve up and some adrenaline to do my loose aggressive thing, stole a 30-some dollar pot next hand, and the thought that the $50 pot was the biggest pot I've ever won ($30 in second) and not really ever having gained that much that fast, and it was full tilt for me. And also I realized I've never really played against a good player or any sort of aggression, so full tilt when full toppled over, upturned, down on the floor.
And I realized the body language I actually had to watch wasn't for tells but my damn wrists fidgeting and flapping around and getting mistaken for check calls for several rounds in at least a few hands. That didn't help either, lol.

My mom was going to take a shower.

She asked if I needed to use the bathroom first, because her showers do take an hour.

I said no. I didn't.

5 minutes later I needed to use the bathroom.

It seems my picking up poker seriously and looking into gambling for a living has moved me a half point lower South, even deeper into Libertarian territory. And I don't know how. Basically, even before this retake I was basically just don't steal, rape, kill, or anything like that. Probably just lame wording on a couple questions that actually really don't work.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I think it's been a very long time since I've actually enjoyed losing. Not that I want to keep on doing it, but with just once in a casino helped me with some stuff, and as for the game realizing where I must improve now will only make me a better player.

Huston, I have a problem, and it's that for poker training I'm wanting to train for the Olympics but I the local tee ball team is all I have to practice and train against.
