Death has a secret

Been following the Casey Anthony trial at all? The pig gets off... and her family is in, and has orchestrated the whole thing... Love it! Actually have a lot to say on the whole thing but Waffles caught my attention this morning...

He posted this repost from some other idiot (no offense), and just had to throw in my fifty cents.

It's the ole "what would you do if you knew you were going to die deal... only the dummy puts a bunch of parameters around it which make ZERO FUCKING SENSE... because NO ONE alive falls into that category.

IF you have no wife, no kids, a job, 4-5 years worth of income to support your current lifestyle, YOU AREN'T GETTING SICK!!! You have ZERO stress to become SICK!!! any who...

I like the questions posed, but answering them in a more realistic way with regards to the average human located in this country (or Canada as well you cry baby's).

1) How long would you continue your job or career? Do you love your job so much you would continue as long as possible?

The real answer is as long as you HAVE to. IF you know you are dying (and it's not some ten year retarded guess either) I would reckon you would do anything possible to stop and finally get on livin'.

2) How hard would you pursue a relationship? How important is it for you to NOT die alone?

I suppose that most honest people would answer this in the negative. The very core of human existence is good and knowing you're about to die in a relatively short time would preclude anyone from getting romantically involved with another knowing you were just going to hurt that person. The real answer to the question would be not at all. IF it happens then it happens. But you should be too busy getting your rocks off fulfilling your dreams than trying to find Love as to no be lonely

3) Would you ever consider elective surgery (such as a cosmetic procedure) even though it's likely you will die just a few years later.

Wait... you come up with a scenario about dying, form some questions about what you would do with the rest of your life, and this is the question you come up with? Whoever thought of that question is truly an asshole and probably should die very quickly, for you are most likely the most shallowest person on the planet and furthermore probably hate yourself... enough said.

4) On the other hand, would you spend a significant chunk of your net worth on medical care just to extend your life a year or two?

I think recent history has proven Waffles point correct. They aren't interested in keeping you alive.. they are interested in keeping you breathing. To that point, spending money on traditional healthcare will only serve to keep you in an institution either full time, or so many times back and forth for testing or treatment that you won't be able to live. My answer is no.

5) Would you travel more or less? Would you develop a specific "bucket list" for your remaining years?

I'd go see every nook and cranny of the earth that was available to me via time and cost. and yes, the bucket list would go into full effect. You should already have one.

6) Would you be more likely to use illegal substances or engage in illegal activities, knowing your potential punishment is diminished by your life expectancy?*

This must have been a fucking child who wrote these questions... Short answer... see bucket list.

7) What is the ONE most important thing to accomplish in your remaining years?

Yet another stupid question. I say, and most of you will agree, that after 42 years of life that ONE thing always changes. It changes after accomplishing each one. Of course you can be some queer love hippie (like goat), and say that the ONE thing is living in peace and harmony. That's such a fucking cop out it's not even funny. Look, us CEO's need tangible, attainable results and we want them now! Show me a plan, execute, then start a new one. Fucking Children!

This was the extent of the questions, so I thought that I would add my own last one...

8) After setting out and setting yourself up to finally live the rest of your life because you found out you were about to die... how much regret would you have and how miserable would you be when you are finally on your death bed, AFTER realizing that you could have/ should have lived your whole life that way?

The fact is that we all only have a finite time on this earth. Ten years, A hundred, it doesn't matter. Death does have a secret. That is, it doesn't matter much whether we're here the next day or not. Everyone else is going to go on without much thought of you.

Do what you want to and don't make excuses. I'm divorced with 4 kids under 13... Nothing is going to stop me doing what I want. Sure, you have different levels of responsibility and that is not to be shunned... But LIVE YOUR LIFE. And don't wait for someone to tell you that you only have ten years.... Cause I'm telling you, it might only be 1

Colonel Nathan R Jessup V Jack Skellington

The battle of 90's movie characters has begun over at FilmChaw. Go check it out and cast your votes for your favorite character.

But first off let me say this... If Colonel Nathan R Jessup loses to some fucking stupid cunt Cartoon Character, I am going to lose my fucking mind. I can't even tell you how on Tilt I am right now...

First, Astin writes that it isn't the character, it's Jack... WRONG!!!! Then he says something stupid about A Few Good Men being some middling movie...

Un FUCKING believable...

TILT!!!!!

Go vote for Jessup or I'm coming over there to rip out your eye sockets and puke down your dead skull....

Well sheeeit NEGRO.... That's all you had to say!

Getting ready to start the 90's movie character competition... in the meantime...

Clicking through some blogger links on the left I get broken links or another page as if you have all moved your blogs... What gives here people? Are you all hiding from the Feds???

Best Movie Characters of the 90's - Field of 64!

Goat called me up with an idea about a month ago.... Pick 4 bloggers, choose the best 64 movie characters of the 90's, draft them and then put them up in bracket style, going against each other until a winner was chosen. Those winners would be chosen by the viewing public based on votes....

Now, being that Goat has an affinity for me, of course I was first on the list to be asked to do this. Even though I have not posted in quite some time. But you all know me and movie characters so how can I pass this up?

Goat already posted his intro, and so has Astin. HDouble has not posted as of yet, but I'm sure it's coming. This whole thing will be debated, re-posted, and voted on over at Film Chaw so you must go there to vote.

Now, once you read the brackets and those chosen and where they were chosen, you may have some issues. Some have already responded on Goats post in comments. There is a suspect amount of women chosen. 4 to be exact. There are also some characters left out and some chosen in some really weird places. Doc Holliday for example being chosen in the 9th round may seem like a miracle (or insult for that matter), but remember, I was talking to the competitors during drafting and knew I could get him late.

I also think that some of the early round picks where the most ridiculous picks I've ever heard of and surprised the hell out of me. HOWEVER....

I would request that you, the voter, seriously take into consideration the writers purpose, if it is presented, during the competition before you jump to voting for a character. 'Cause there is no way that Roy McEvoy (A late round pick for me) should ever beat any character. But based on who he is going up against, I would think that I may be able to legitimately persuade you.

Some may write about the eloquence of the character, or its pop culture value... They may try to sugar coat or over inflate the value of that character with silly words, etc... I will present my characters as they were intended by the author. OK, or at least how I valued that character and how I think the character made or carried the film. I won't be using fancy words, silly assumptions, or how they fit within pop culture. It's why they were and how they were in that MOVIE. Most of my characters are badasses as well so I"ll be presenting a lot of "my character can kick your characters ass". :)

If you look at the draft order over on Goats Blog, there are certainly some questionable picks. Most likely some that you would have chosen as well... We drafted via email over the weekend. Most likely through mobile phones, as I did and was running for choices near the end.

In the least I hope your additions to the posts in comments will spur a fun and humorous debate among the best characters of the 90's. I also whole-heartedly assume that I can't lose this competition. So in the spirit of fair play.... If i lose, someone is going to have their throat shown.

You're GODDAMN RIGHT I DID!

What I want is for you too stand there in that faggety white uniform, and with your Harvard mouth, extend me some courtesy

It happened one day across the great divide of government hypocrisy and jurisdictional servitude. (<-- I made that up). That is, online poker came crumbling down.

I will give you my thoughts in a nutshell, but others, far better equipped than me in the legal, and industry aspect of it, have and are doing so. So go look.

I do see a theme here in comments and on social network sites with sarcasm about how chance is better suited for the stock market, and you can still go bet online lotteries and such. The point is that this has really nothing to do with Poker and really everything to do with revenue. You all know that.

I would also state that the term "chance" has everything to do with the type of game. As CK wrote in the above linked post, the State of PA (a municipal judge) ruled that Texas Hold'em was deemed a game of skill therefore not falling under the "chance" terminology which put them directly in the line of fire of Illegal gaming. See, PA deems illegal gaming as anything that contains these three aspects... Consideration, chance, and reward. Consideration being you PAID to participate, chance meaning the game or event has an element of Chance, and reward, meaning you can win something.

Unfortunately for the bar owners who brought the original suit and received a favorable ruling, the state of PA had just legalized table games in the State, including poker. What they didn't realize is that the casinos who just paid a $15 million dollar license fee to provide Texas holdem in their billion dollar properties weren't going to stand by and let some bar run $20 buy-ins every tuesday night.

Hence the appeal to the state supreme court, and OH, btw.. thank you very much Mr. Lobby.

Anyway... I still believe this is a total raping of the market by the likes of Harrah's and their billion dollar lobbyists so that when this thing is finally sorted out they have an open market to launch into, possibly looking like the good guys. Don't forget, Facebook, Google, and the likes of other social networking sites will be able to provide online poker as well once it's legalized. Don't think a Billion dollar corporation who wants to get in on this once it's legal has any problem with the news about the "top three", let alone be so naive to think they may have had something to do with it.

Got through this nice bottle of scotch I was hinting at. McCallan Sherry Oak 18 year old from a friend who thought I could use it. Drank most of it by myself as well bitches. Doc, Bam... promise I will have another bottle waiting for when we sit again. Haven't researched where to get it or know if it's even hard to find. Given the source, I doubt it will be difficult.

It was kinda like Swingers Vince Vaughn, not Old School Vince Vaughn

So what's going on in the last 4-6 months? Just gotta come by and read. See If I can catch everyone up on the goings on in Riggsville.

In the meantime... The Phils are rockin', theMasters Start today, Poker has waned (at least interest except for the live game), and I'm getting divorced. Oh, and I'm also starting up a new deal with Goat and some others on some Best Movie character of all time type deal...

Stay tuned for all the details. OH, and I also came across a new Scotch. Which I will detail ever so eloquently at the time I finish the bottle :) DIRECTLY after I finish the bottle :))

Who told you that you could work with men? You fairy!

I'm back bitches! I was kinda jammed after the epic failure of my Phillies. How do the Pirates lose to a San Fransisco team full of re-treads and stiffs? Yeah, I get Marilyn Manson and his stupid arm, but Cain and whoever else they threw up there?

You're telling me the highest paid player in baseball who puts up Babe Ruth numbers every season can't push a run across the base throughout the whole series? Gotta hit the ball to score runs, and that showed throughout the series. Better skill next season. BAH!

PARX Casino opened their poker room yesterday and from what I hear it was a good experience. That may be due solely from the fact that the players I spoke to were excited that they didn't have to drive 2 hours and spend $10 bucks in tolls and $30 in gas.

They are charging for drinks, and they are raking a bit more than AC does but it seems to have been a good experience. I have plans to hit up Parx this weekend and I will do a mini trip report on Monday.
