"Listen, here's the thing, if you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker." Matt Damon in Rounders
I love that line.
Do you have any idea how much fun it is to look at a person and know that they are full of shit?
In the first hour of playing I didn't win a pot that I didn't bluff at. I just *knew* that they didn't have anything. It is a rush of a feeling that I have never truly experienced in a live setting. I have a much better sense of this when I play online. I know that sounds backwards. The second hour of the night was another valuable lesson. You can't read everyone all the time, but I'm working on that.
New topic.
The links to the right have been reorganized. This is not meant to be an insult to anyone, but let's be honest, some people have more time to write than others and I am tired of clicking on links that aren't updated that often. There are two new people added and both are friends from the college days and both extremely funny and intelligent. Go visit Special K and The Big E.

I had a fun dinner Monday night. Will and Natalie, Will's brother and his wife, Fred Norton, and Jim and Ali complete with baby Autumn all came to town to have dinner.
I have a few pics and I'll post them later today, but everyone looked good and was in good spirits. There was a lot of laughter and a ton of attention paid to Autumn. A cute baby by anyone's standards.

Wear this
Last week I attended the annual "Sweater Party". It was a grand affair hosted by Keith, Rob and Rob's brother, Jeff.
It is an understood rule of the event that everyone wear their tackiest holiday wear.
While I wasn't surprised at the level of tackiness, I was surprised by the sheer volume of tackiness. Here's a brief glimpse at the proof.
Brett and Georgia Girl
Dave Cox and moi
Dave and his holiday drink of choice
Moi, Dave and Brett. Notice that Brett has shifted from "Fun holiday attendee" to "Holiday smack pusher"
And finally here is Galarza and her hair dresser. Stacy doesn't go anywhere without her hairdresser. She is such the diva.
The event was decorated by Jeff and his friends. The highlights of the deco included homemade lifesize cutouts of Mr and Mrs Claus with holes in inappropriate places in their bodies, strobe lights, a disco ball, and a faux porch where I hung out for a good portion of the night. To top it all off there was a three hundred pound block of ice for a shot luge.
For the record, I was told it was three hundred pound block of ice, but I didn't move it and I didn't weigh it. FYI, I hadn't seen an ice luge since college at parties hosted by Posh Toner. I will admit that I only took one ride down the luge, but to my defense, the drink was prepared by Dave Cox and it took a medium sized measuring cup to prepare it. Here is J.J. preparing to imbibe and trust me when I say that looking back on the end of the evening, this was the last thing J.J. needed to do.
Here, Keith is preparing to take his ride, but before took his turn, he just *had* to see who won "Deal or No Deal".

Today I will finish Christmas shopping. This isn't so much a goal as an ultimatum for myself. And tonight there will be trivia. Oh yes there will be trivia.
I'm still bummed by the death of John Spencer. What a talented actor. Sorkin wrote so well for his character. Here are my two favorite monologues that he delivered on West Wing.
And number two
I'm still bummed by the death of John Spencer. What a talented actor. Sorkin wrote so well for his character. Here are my two favorite monologues that he delivered on West Wing.
This guy's walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out. A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up: "Hey, you! Can you help me out? " The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up: " Father, I'm down in this hole. Can you help me out? " The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by: " Hey, Joe, it's me. Can you help me out? " And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here. " The friend says: "Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out.
And number two
I like the little things. The way a glass feels in your hand, a good glass - thick, with a heavy base. I love the sound an ice cube makes when you drop it from just the right height. Too high, and it will chip when you drop it. Chip the ice and it will melt too fast in the Scotch.

Oh, look at the Sugar Bowl tickets falling out of.....
My Mailbox!!!
The tickets were ordered when UGAA sent out the Post-season form back in November. The form listed all of the potential post season slots including tickets for the SEC title game that was held two weeks ago. You select the games you would like to attend and you send the form in. Your credit card is only charged if you are picked to receive tickets. You receive tickets based on your cumulative contribution points score and how many people applied for tickets for that particular game.
Here is the breakdown issued last week via georgiadogs.com;
Today the tickets arrived and I am stunned. There must have been some mistake somewhere or maybe I accidentally slept with Damon Evans when I wasn't paying attention, but the seats are incredible. In fact the only way they could be better is if they were free.
The seats are located in Section 115 which is on the home side and on the lower level of the Georgia Dome on the 45 yardline. It gets better. They're on Row one, the front freakin' row!!!
I saw the documentary, March of the Penguins, tonight. To save you the money and time I will give you a brief recap.
Penguins walk,
Penguins mate (It was odd watching penguin's have sex)
Penguins sit on egg
Penguins hatch egg
Penguin watch some chicks
Penguins morn
Penguins raise chicks
Penguins walk
Chicks jump in the ocean
The end.
Actually the movie is good. The penguins are cute and the footage of these creatures is absolutely amazing. Morgan Freeman also did a nice job, but ninety minutes of penguins in a bit much.

List this
1) The Skirts are playing this Friday night with Trances Arc at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta. Show support.
2) We sucked a hot tailpipe at trivia Wednesday night. But we ("we" equals "Rob") did come up with a new idea for a team name. Every week the team name will begin with "I wish Vagina could/would" we then will debate what we wish vagina could/would do. Do not misread this as us insulting the female gender or the vagina. That could not be farther from the truth. We're paying homage. Everything (sans menstruation) the vagina currently does is fantastic. We are simply wondering how awesome it would be if it could learn to do other things as well. For instance...I wish vagina could open a twist off beer bottle. I wish vagina could drive a school bus. I think you get the picture.
3) The gun came out of it's hiding place tonight. Three people were shot and murdered 1.1 miles from the house. This wasn't a robbery, drive by, or random act. These three people were shot and killed in their place of residence. Can I repeat that this happened ONE POINT ONE FUCKING MILES AWAY. The gun didn't come out of it's hiding place as much as it flew out of the cabinet, loaded itself, fixed itself a snack, had a beer, turned to me and said; "I'll protect you."
Here's the news story and if you know where we live, here's a Google map to show you how close the scene of the crime is to the house. We live in East Snobb County; a stone's throw away from Sprayberry High School. This sort of thing should not happen here. It drives my property value down. Priorities people, priorities.

Eat this
Yesterday I had the most wonderful dining experience and it had very little to do with the food.
The staff at Ted's Montana Grill located in East Cobb is the epitome of customer service. Their staff is exceptionally friendly and sincere in nature. I never for a moment felt that someone was putting on an act to be nice.
I grabbed a paper and sat at the bar. Instead of talking to me across the bar, my waitress walked around the bar to talk with me and tell me about the specials. She then went behind the bar to put in my order and then she walked around the bar again to deliver my gumbo. She could have saved herself 50-60 steps worth of energy by sliding it across the bar but evidently that's not they way they do things.
As I was finished my last bite of gumbo, my burger arrived. The gentleman that delivered the food was again at the extreme end of nice and polite.
"Excuse me sir, but I believe I have your Bison burger here. Would you care for it now or would you like another moment to finish your gumbo?"
Who are these people? You all know that I am a customer service snob and these people blew me away.
The food was not great but very good. When you sit down they bring you this bowl full of "Half Sours" which is a half cucumber, half pickle snack marinated in oil and vinegar. Muy tasty. The chicken/sausage gumbo was ok, it needed more in the spice department. The bison burger was also weak in the spice department, but the beef itself was good and very juicy. The asparagus I had with it was seasoned well, but a hair on the oily side. It was a very good lunch, but again it was the service that made the meal.
I spoke with the proprietor on the way out and expressed how great his staff had been. He was very grateful for the feedback and asked me to come back to have lunch on him next week.

A few things
1) Modern Skirts' album Catalogue of Generous Men is now available on itunes. That is bad ass.
2) Pandora.com might be the coolest thing I have ever seen on the internet. Next to porn of course.
3) I placed 2nd (again!!!) at the weekly poker tourney. Sure that means coming home with money in my pocket, but DAMN IT!!! I want to win!!!

Last night I settled in to watch The Daily Show and was stunned to see that it was a repeat from Thanksgiving. They're not on hiatus or vacation, so what gives? A receptionist and former intern for the show killed himself over the weekend. As awful as that is; there is a quote in the above linked article that made my imagination go wild.
"Comedy Central has sent grief counselors to the Manhattan set of Daily Show."
I know this story and me making light of it isn't funny, but I imagined an old VW bug pulling up to the studio and 50 psychologists in clown suits piling out.
On a more normal note. Funkle Ester has picked up a New Year's Eve Gig. It was decided by people other than me, that we would take NYE off for the first time in four years. But a gig landed in our lap that we couldn't pass up. (Read Shoe Money baby!!!) Spiral Entertainment has asked us to be the featured band for the ball dropping party at The Biltmore Ballrooms in Midtown. I'm very relieved about this because A) It's been so long that I've not played on NYE, that I wondered what the hell I was going to do and B) It's been so long that I've not played on NYE, that I wondered what the hell I was going to do.

Swallow this
I'm surprised I haven't heard about this news story before now, but it's all over the wires.
It's another reason to be proud of The ATL.
And speaking of The ATL... (You lika the segue? You lika the segue.)
Hot off the presses, here's a clip of the "Blues version" of the ATL song.
I sense you're all welling up with pride right now.

Football news
Footballscoop.com is reporting that former UGA Defensive Coordinator and current Jax Jaguars Line Backers Coach Brian VanGorder is about to become the new head coach at Georgia Southern. Just so you know.
To Rent or not to Rent
On my way home yesterday I stopped by Blockbuster. Still feeling like crap I knew exactly what I wanted to rent; I wanted two movies that would require absolutely no effort on my brain to keep up with. And boy did I succeed.
Family Guy: Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story
and
Fantastic Four.
I was already second guessing the movies, when the geeky-dweeb behind the counter starting praising my selections.
First the Family guy movie. I'm a big fan of the show, but I rented the movie with hesitation. Turns out it wasn't so much a movie as it was a very long episode. I laughed out loud a few times. Definitely rentable, but not ownable.
Fantastic Four, yeah, uhm, not so good. Michael Chiklis was amazing but the best part of the movie was Jessica Alba. The shots of her in spandex eased the pain of a very rushed movie.
I called out sick again today. Seriously, this is one tough bitch I'm fighting here. I'm debating getting off the couch to return the movies and get more but that would require A) becoming vertical and B) getting off the couch.
The best part of yesterday? The B-ball Dawgs whooped up on the N.A.T.S last night.

Think of this
A couple things of note.
I'm STILL sick. Seriously, I'm going to beat The Avian Flu, if it's the last thing I do.
UGA/GT Men's B-Ball at 7 PM on Fox Sports Net.
Glad's Flex Force Trash Bags are fantastic.
Glad's Press and Seal Wrap is the future of wraps. It will wrap and seal anything.
Color me impressed with the Glad Company. I like companies that make good products.
To help accelerate the healing process I've been talking this a couple times a day. I think it's working.
If I was a porn star my name would be Randy Pheonix and no that is not misspelled. That's what this quiz cranked out.
I'm going back to sleep.

WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE
I'm normally not one to jump on the mass hysteria band wagon. I don't rush to the grocery store when the forecaster says; "a chance of flurries", I've always hated American Idol, and the only part of the OJ trial I watched was the verdict. Ok, you're right, I got sucked into the whole "Pope dies" thing and then I lusted for Trapper Keepers and that was quickly followed by a fetish for Smurfs. But that was last year and I've moved on from that. No more wagons for this guy.
After this one.
The Avian flu.
Sunday night, 60 Minutes did a story called, Chasing the Flu. Steve Kroft posed some questions to some really smart people and they in turn said some really scary stuff. I know that our beloved news media feeds off of our fears; but the facts and opinions given by this group of professional virus fighters got me worried.
I'm starting to think about stocking up on bottled water, canned meals, and ammo. FYI; you knock on my door in the middle of a epidemic you're not going to get water and a bowl of Chunky Clam Chowder soup; you're going to get shot. Just fair warning.
All this to say that I don't have the Avian Flu. I've taken more meds and I'm currently soaking my throat in Jack Daniels.

Fix this
I'm feeling like crap. A throat that feels like sandpaper and nose full of snot.
So if this entry seems like I'm phoning it in, it is, deal with it.
In last weeks introduction of him and him, I totally and accidentally left this guy out. Kevin is the boyfriend of a co-worker that possesses a huge passion for live music and is an all around nice guy. Other than being a Clemson Tiger fan and his misplaced notion that the ACC is the supreme conference in *Everything*; he is a joy to be around.
Last week you may or may not have noticed some unusual phrases in the blog. Under the direction of Tony a few of us signed up for a mental challenge. Every morning last week Tony emailed us a phrase that we had to work into that days post. The yet to be named winner will get 25 dollars to spend at Amazon.com.
Here are the phrases;
Monday: What I really wanted to say was, "Hey, you put that back right now."
Tuesday: At long last, it was mine again, if only for a little while.
Wednesday: It's the slurping noises that really bother me.
Thursday: I've never in my life seen a pair of pants fail so fast.
Friday: What's the point of total jihad if no one is there to see it?
I just popped a decongestant, two Advil, and something that dissolved in water. Work should be a joy.

So I got busted early last night. I had the better hand that got outdrawn so no whining. But the ass who beat me Tuesday was there and still playing when I left. Talk about salt in an bleeding orifice.
Regardless. The ass was sitting to the right of my friend Gerald at a different table. To say that I was rooting for Gerald would be an understatement. He put a great move on the ass and then showed him. Absolutly fantastic!!! He couldn't find me soon enough to help me ease my pain.
When I left Gerald was short but still hangin on. I have a lot of faith that he would eventually take out the ass and I really wanted to stay and watch him to do so. Plus what's the point of total jihad if no one is there to see it? But I left anyway. Radio Cult was playing downstairs.
And let me tell you that it was a fantastic, high paced, energetic set that was amazing to watch and listen to. A great time plus it's always fun to see and chat with Bambi and Ricky. You should go see them.
Regardless. The ass was sitting to the right of my friend Gerald at a different table. To say that I was rooting for Gerald would be an understatement. He put a great move on the ass and then showed him. Absolutly fantastic!!! He couldn't find me soon enough to help me ease my pain.

Answer this
In the world of trivia we finished third last night. Granted we brought in reinforcements in the form of Rob, Dave and Serena. We had two perfect rounds, an ok third and a fourth round where the only thing we were able to write down correctly was our team name. By the way, the narrator of "How the Grinch stole Christmas" is also the voice of Tony the Tiger.
I don't know if many of you have seen this, but it is worth your time. You do need the sound up and it's safe work as long as simultaneous televangelism from Robert Tilton and farting are tolerated by your co-workers. This is fake but done very well. If this was real then his pants were not muffling the sound at all. I've never in my life seen a pair of pants fail so fast.
(Meme Note: Oh so weak, but I did manage to insult Robert Tilton in the process. That counts for something, right?)
