WHY I LOVE POKER

Had a great poker game in my studio Friday night. There were 5 other people besides me. Everyone lost money except me...that's what I call a great poker game.

It was a great game, but not the greatest game. Once I was on a road trip with 5 other guys and we, of course, played cards until the wee hours. The next morning at a hung-over breakfast one of the guys said, "I lost twenty-two-fucking dollars." The second guy said he lost $20, and as the bemoaning continued around the table it became obvious that I was the only winner at about $120.
Last night I only won $65 and that was in a quarter/half game, which is rather remarkable, even if I have to say so myself.
But there was a down side. One of the players got too drunk to drive and called a cab, and was told it would be 45 minutes. I had to go to bed, but my daughter, who was planning to sleep in my guest bedroom, said she would keep him company. The next morning my wife found my daughter curled up in my office chair....trying to sleep. I had automatically locked the door out of habit and my daughter couldn't get in the house.
I felt awful....and I mean that.

Art...you can't live with it, you can't nuke it from space...

What do you think is going on in Area 52?

This took me longer than it should...

Street walkers are kind of like drive-by dating.

If you could take just one medication, which medication would it be?

I have no idea why this is supposed to be funny...anyone?

The worst, most embarrassing part of soccer...

I often fantasize about encountering a defective product that might entitle me to compensation.

Seriously. I would still stick my dick in her mouth.

And we are just fine with this....

Well....most of us.

You think there was ever an Alexander, The Pretty Good?

This looks exactly like the front of a toy box I made one time. I made each book out of various pieces of wood...some thick some thin. It was most effective.

If found this impressive, but wondered about how many of them are still functioning...

Somebody must have been sick on the day they taught sportsmanship...

I once told me daughter that her gold fish ran away.

My wife uses government shutdowns to avoid intimacy.

Get it?

Even after you buy that new car, your life will remain fundamentally unchanged.

How to know you are not your mom's favorite...

Did you ever notice that in every movie where the hero is being chased through the woods by overwhelming force, there is always a cliff to jump from into a swift river with rapids?

OOMVO...

I want Black Friday to be televised just like the hunger games. But seriously, I hope your Black Friday injuries aren't so severe that you can't click a mouse on Cyber Monday.
