Well this is a new one, but it is something that I encountered Saturday night and it is the thing that annoys me more than anything. My brother and I went to a poker tournament with 41 people in it the other night (I got 7th) and as anyone who has ever been to a poker tournament there is drinking. Well when 11 o'clock rolled around this guy who was a complete d-bag (Chris was his name and hes 51) was completely trashed and was going on and on about how his net worth was like 200 grand and that he was better than everybody whose ever lived and whatever else could go on. The worst part about this however was that he was trying to be intelligent, but couldn't even keep up with the way I deal (He's dumb enough to believe that I deal at Foxwood's part time). For anyone whose ever played Hold 'Em it's pretty simple----all you gotta do is "burn 'n turn" but he couldn't get the concept.
A couple more hours went by and he was too drunk to be able to count his chips and he was just throwing in random amounts (Which takes away all of the skill involved when some idiot is betting 10-20x the entire pot without even knowing). Needless to say he kept buying the pots and became chip lead in a hurry not because of skill, but because of the lack there of. When we got down to the final table he continued to talk smack to all of us because he was worth more than us (the oldest one at the table besides him was 24 so its not like its a huge accomplishment). Needless to go on any further it was quite annoying to listen to his drunk a**.
Well since showing up drunk wouldn't be able to be justified as a capital offense I would guess that the best solution would be for the person in question to be kicked out of the tournament and if at all possible thrown into a snowbank.

Bumper Sticker!
Thats what she said.
Suck it in poop it out, thats what life is all about.
Old people cause accidents.
Guns don't kill people: husbands who come home early do.
(this one is stolen from Blue Collar Comedy).
With me, its like football: An 8 Second Blast.
Life's a bitch and then you marry one.
I don't really agree, but my girlfriends dad says it to me all the time whenever Tiff starts complaining too much. As you can imagine she's a real big fan of the saying.
Keep in mind, we don't ALL have automatics.
This actually has significance, because if you've ever been a rookie at driving a stick it really sucks when someone pulls right up behind you when stopped on a hill. Keep in mind everyone if you see a blue Kia Spectra stay back at stop lights because I'm not exactly a pro at starting back up!

WWII Veteran
The other day I was walking around a cemetery, because that's what all of the cool kids are doing, and I stumbled upon the grave of a World War II veteran. I immediately thought of the last time I was at the optometrist, I was listening to an older man inform an elderly lady of a story about back in the day. You see, this man had grown up on a farm which him and his brother had both worked on.
Neither of the two men had been drafted, but they had both chosen to serve. The older man (Bill) had missed the draft by two months, but he enlisted because all of his friends had. Half of the young men in his town had gotten drafted.
Bill's father had had the option of saving Bill's brother, but the bother refused to allow his father to do so. He believed that it was his duty to serve his country. That statement alone made me think about this country and how it used to be. It's sad to think that not too far from now, the greatest and the most selfless generation of Americans that we will ever see will be nothing but a fond memory.
