    acalld... ran at 25/22 6max.. guessing it's a reg from another site but he needs to tune up his hu game for sure, despite the fact that i ran very well. he was still very exploitable.

    At least you're in uni. I've only got 170 UCAS points because I spent my 6th form college years getting drunk and skipping lessons.
    Me too! , that's why i got 160 UCAS points. They still let me do a 240 course. But it is only huddersfield uni...
    A bit late with the response but LOL, same here (including going to Huddersfield).

    Still, I spent all 3 years there getting wasted and didnt really acheive anything other than a 3 year long party.

    Yeah the SU aint too bad. Pool tables and cheap beer is alright to pass the time, can always head into town if you fancy a change. Most students just seem to visit the 2 or 3 pubs across the road.

    Caffeine gives me headaches so I don't consume it. This makes grinding much more difficult for me.

    My poker skill progresses about half as fast as normal people. I play a lot, yet am about half as good as those of you who have played as much as me.

    I hafta go shopping for a Bob Sanders jersey tomorrow. Obv Bob Sanders is boc, but clothes shopping is def nboc like duh obviously.

    ...anyways what was I gonna say?...

    Oh yeah that's weird that caffeine gives you headaches. If i dont consume caffeine in the morning I start to get a headache by about noon.

    I thought caffeine helps with headaches...that's why they put it in pain-killers....hmm??

    My first post in this thread so be nice. That shows that I'm so old now that this is my idea of fun:



    On second thought this perhaps should be ballin. Paying Top$ to feed exotic animals at the Zoo while stoned.

    Caffeine does have positive affects on headaches over the short term, but it seems that some people develop a sort of allergy to it. It's not well documented, scientifically, I think. Diet is hard to test properly.

    I don't KNOW I get headaches from caffeine since my analysis is founded in anecdote, but at this point, it's more likely than any other solution other than I just get headaches. Which may be right.

    Another issue that seems to affect my headaches is how often I eat. It seems that if i eat below maintenance and once a day, I don't get headaches. Which really sucks since 'below maintenance' is more like below energetic maintenance, not a weight loss below maintenance.

    caffeine is often combined with analgesics like acetominophen (tylenol) to increase its pain relieving effects. just caffeine by itself can reduce pain to a degree.

    As much as I love the colts, New England's winning the conference championship.

    And I had to settle for a Steve Smith jersey. Second best is all right, I guess.

    i'm assuming that of all the total times you visit the store, the bags might add up to a lifetime additional cost of ~45 cents. if you want, i will ship you this lifetime cost on any major online poker site so that you do not have to continue with this unusual ritual and can save time and stress. let me know.

    good tip
    buy your dried herbs and spices from bulk bins
    pay for only what you need for a few months and the quality is better than the stuff in the small jars
    i do pay for the little bag when i purchase spices


    don't send me the money GMML
    i'll still do it anyways because i love the reaction of the stupid customers behind me in line. if they say something to me, i like to tell them they chose to get behind me. the reaction when i pour a 1/2 lb of dried pinto beans on the glass scanner/scale is priceless.

    and my credit card can't be used without a telephone call from the manager to my CC company. turn on the blinky light above the register please

    Heh. That was fun, but all too short. I was just about to go, as friends had arrived to play poker at my house, but saw you log in to Xbox Live. We'll play for real next time. I got Call Of Duty 4 this week and have been playing that mostly. It rocks.

    Heh. That was fun, but all too short. I was just about to go, as friends had arrived to play poker at my house, but saw you log in to Xbox Live. We'll play for real next time. I got Call Of Duty 4 this week and have been playing that mostly. It rocks.
    I heard that's a sweet game. The other day half my XBL list, all from madden and halo, was playing it. We'll play some H3 again sometime for sure though.

    #1 ohio state loses at home to some scrubs from the big 10, Browns have a 15 pt lead and do everything in their power to give the game to pittsburgh and nobally accomplish that goal, i may be getting audited by the IRS and certainly will owe a large chunk of change, gf and i had an epic fight and we broke up (then got back together), internet is down so i cant play poker or work on my tax situation

    solid weekend, and to top it off, my brilliant plan to switch the thread titles got foiled

    You waited all that time to feel worthy and look what you did. You fucked up and put it in the wrong thread. Yet that in itself, makes it right that you posted in this thread.

    don't bother it sucks
    tldr

    it is fiction
    i don't do those things

    it came about because there was a women in front of me in line at the grocery store and she was taking forever just trying to save a few cents. i had the 2 kids with me but we were not in a hurry thankfullly.
    i don't know all the details as to why it took about 30 mins to get her throught the check out but i did catch this little part towards the end.
    she brought in her own shopping bags to use, but forgot she had them til all her groceries were already bagged in paper(yes they asked her plastic or paper? and she said paper). she makes them re bag her stuff into her bags and then wants the $0.05 ber bag that the store offers for bringing in your own bags.
    speculation as to what bumper stickers are on her volvo wagon
    rainbows, kerry/edwards, VPR, and an anti bush sticker

    i wished i was smarter and could think quicker
    i would have told the bagger that i would like paper but not the dirty ones from the previous customer

    very stupid boring story about shopping, so i tried to think of what would be the cheapest damn thing one could do at the checkout and wrote about that

    not ballin':

    was just watching sportscenter, and they were discussing texas A&M's hiring of Mike Sherman (former packers head coach and current texans offensive coordinator) for their vacant head coaching job. Mike Sherman was the only guy interviewed, persumably because the athletics director at A&M really wanted the guy. Mike Sherman is white.

    ESPN has a bunch of bafoons (specifically Mark May, who is black) babbling on about how this is grossly unfair, racist, and no progress is being made in minority head coaching hires. He suggests that NCAA football should have an equivalant of the rooney rule in the NFL (one where at least one african-american candidate must be interviewed for any coaching vacancy-- might be restricted to just head coaching hires, whatever. not the point.

    The point is that basically these guys are idiots. Blacks make up 13%? of the population. IT MAKES SENSE THAT THERE WILL BE MORE WHITE COACHES THAN BLACK COACHES. THIS IS NOT RACIST OR DISCRIMINATORY. He starts naming off "great" candidates like Ron English of Michigan... *PUKE*. Yeah, pretty much any college football fan will know exactly why he would never be considered for a head coaching job-- Michigan's defense has been putrid despite being loaded with talent.

    Cliff notes-- Affirmative action sucks in politics; it has ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE in sports whatsoever and I pretty much hate everybody who tries to push that agenda. Maybe hate isn't the best word but whatever.

    A couple of stats... 5% of Division 1 college football coaches are black (6 out of 119), over 50% of Div. 1 college football players are black.

    I would support a Rooney rule for college football, so hate on hater.

    what % graduated?

    football is racist
    we need more diversity on the field, only 13% should be black

    ok, so how about we make a rule that absolutely no more than 13% of Div. 1 college football players can be black. The majority must be white.

    what you and others are proposing makes approximately the same amount of sense as what I proposed above. AKA, no sense at all.

    To clarify, i have absolutely nothing against any minority whatsoever. It just bothers me to no avail that some people think they deserve unfair advantages for whatever reason. In this case because they are a minority.
