thread about totally living and people just trying to live

[Lukie]

just trying this new beer called Burning River by Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC). It is fantastic. Only other stuff I've had from them is dortmunder gold which is kind of like a premium sam adams. Also good but I like this one much better.

Is there anybody else from the midwest that enjoys GLBC beer?

[a500lbgorilla]

Any body else reading Harry Potter? So far 3 awesome things have happened and I'm halfway through.

Anyone listening to it on tape while smoking a cigar then?

On a serious note, all 7 books fit so perfectly together its amazing. The stories are imaginative, creative, suspenseful, fascinating, etc etc. Honestly, if I ever set out to write the perfect story (not book/novel) it would be Harry Potter. Every avenue of the world within the book has been explored. Magically castle-schools, all powerful wizards, every character you meet in every book has some part of the story until their death and a couple have a huge impact afterwards. Events of the first book sometimes don't really have any meaning until later installments.

Honestly, if anyone picks up the first harry potter book on disc and just listens to it in the car or while you're smoking a cigar, sipping a makers+ginger ale or bombay sapphire+tonic+lime you will not be disappointed. If you feel I have mislead you in the brilliance of this story, then I will find you and let you kick me in the nuts 3 times.

Does book on tape require gay drinks? I know we drink MM straight from the bottle/flask.

If you feel I have mislead you in the brilliance of this story, then I will find you and let you punch me in the ovaries 3 times.

FYP.

Society crumbles tomorrow, I get frozen in ice, come back roughly in 4045, write Harry Potter for new generation. Maybe my timing is not ideal, but I'll get there.

Thats probably the only thing you do straight.

I'd probably hurt more in the nuts though. You'd think military training would have taught you this at the very least. Maybe it's a little hard to focus when your drill sergeant was just oh so dreammmmy.

[mrhappy333]

why is this the only thread I have to scroll , left to right to read?


Bombat Saphire is good!
when your young I think you drink to be manly, when you get older you get wiser.

[Unibomber14]

I don't drink to be manly. I drink. Therefor, drinking is manly. That's just how life works.

[a500lbgorilla]

I drink to enhance meals, to become social, to get drunk etc etc.

I drink heavily to be reckless in hopes of doing something hilarious.

Who cares if I look manly while I'm having a great time?

[Lukie]

I don't drink to be manly. I drink. Therefor, drinking is manly. That's just how life works.

i've read this like 8 times and i still have no idea what you're trying to say.

That's funny because I kinda thought this sounded like something you would say.

[mcatdog]

Lately the commune has had too many gay pictures of eupho, too many hater posts by mixchange, and not enough BOC. I'll try to turn things around. This isn't the most baller thing in this thread but I'm pretty excited about it.

So for the last few years I've had a REALLY shitty laptop on which I've multi-tabled with a ton of overlap. I'm sure I've cost myself hundreds if not thousands of dollars in equity from misclicks. Last week I mis-clicked all-in on the bubble of a $33 MTT and sucked out against someone's overpair. I went on to finish 4th for $1100. I consider that money a misclick freeroll, so I used it to FINALLY go out tonight and buy a new desktop with dual widescreen monitors, so that this never happens again. Total cost of the monitors, desktop, and video card was $950, and I thought it wasn't very baller to spend just under $1000 so I went to one of the nicest sushi bars in San Francisco and spent $5o there. The sushi was absolutely fantastic, as is my new setup.



More baller stories please.

Me and justin were stuck at the detroit airport, and thats all we were drinking. We tried all that the airport bar had, dont remember which ones but I do remember being impressed.

Another good micro from around here (I think its midwestern) is dogfish head. My favorite from them is the indian brown ale.

[boost]

mcat what monitors did you get? The monitors should cost like 550 alone unless prices have dropped drastically in the last few months.

[mcatdog]

They're Dell 2005FPW monitors I got them for $250 each, $400 for the tower and $50 for the video card.

it's alright, it's just an average $100 or so chair from office max. The bottom isn't nearly as soft as it used to be b/c i've sat on it so much. It's still reasonably comfortable though. i might buy a new one as well, so if you find anything that looks really awesome/balla/comfy, let me know.

also thinking of adding some more electronics in various spots.

I went to office depot and sat in a bunch of chairs, the best one was brown leather (~$300) it felt great but doesn't match my comp desk (which is black). There was a huge difference in quality it seemed from about $175 and up. Much softer bottom cushions and actual leather.

I pushed someone all-in at a NL 1/2 table tonight that I thought was trying to steal all of the preflop dead-money. I had KQ, she had AA. WOOPS!

393JT board..........for the straight! Ship it holla balla shot calla FTW!

BOC!



But wait, FUUUUUUCK!



Not BOC = Preflop I don't turn my cards over because I am mad-embarrassed because I got snap-called with AA. I see a 393 flop and say to myself, "you're stupid, George."

Even more Not BOC = On the turn I pushed cards that were turned down forward a little bit and said "I'm drawing dead," because I was embarrassed 1) because I made such a stupid push and got snapped called by AA, and 2) I didn't hit trips or two pair and that's all I was looking for on the board (especially after a 393 board).

I realize I have a straight and say "OMG, I'm sorry," and flip my cards over........the money is shipped my way. WOOT!

Floor-man is called over after the hand, half the table says I win half the table says I "mucked." They review the tape, results come back that I "mucked my hand" which I guess I did......Ship the moneys I won to the person with AA!

This proves (again) I am not BOC. Woot!

[gabe]

george cmon man boc'

[UG]

Ha! Just thought I'd post a little diddy for one and all. Everyone that reads it can be like, "yo, I am BOC because I am better than THAT guy."



Let me try again.



BOC = Tuesday my wife and I leave for Vegas, the greatest place on earth.

We come back on Saturday for her friend's wedding.

BOC = We leave two days later for Cancun and we'll be there for six days, all-inclusive.



Better?

[givememyleg]

that's teh suck georgey

[UG]

EDIT DRUNK POKERS!

Preflop: Ultimate George is BB with 3, 3.
3 folds, Button calls $0.50, 1 fold, Ultimate George raises to $2, Button raises to $3.5, Ultimate George raises to $10, Button raises to $19.5, Ultimate George calls $6.50.

Flop: ($36.25) A, 9, 3 (2 players)
Ultimate George checks, Button bets $23.6 (All-In), Ultimate George calls $23.60.

Turn: ($0) 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($0) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $83.45

Ultimate George has 3h 3s (full house, threes full of nines).
Button has Ad Kc (two pair, aces and nines).
Outcome: Ultimate George wins $83.45.

had this stupid sanitation class today, its just for 2 saturdays all day, 8-5. I get up and Im running a tiny bit late, but I still have plenty of time to get there. And then the train takes an hour to go 4 stops, it normally takes ~10 minutes. I get there 20 minutes late and the guy wont let me in. I have no clue when Ill be able to make up this class.

anyways, Im about to go get breakfast from this costarican spot, then play poker all day.

question is......did you hook up with that one chick like you promised?

[Lukie]

I pushed someone all-in at a NL 1/2 table tonight because i wanted to show how much of a MAN i am even though girls in general are very passive poker players. I had KQ, she had AA. WOOPS![/b] WHAT A SICK SICK COOLER[/b]

A SENSE OF RATIONAL THOUGHT ENTERS MY MIND AND I realize I have a straight and say "OMG, I'm sorry," and flip my cards over........the money is shipped my way. WOOT!

Floor-man is called over after the hand, half the table says I win half the table says I "mucked." They review the tape, results come back that I "mucked my hand" which I guess I did......Ship the moneys I won to the person with AA! GOOD FOR THE CASINO FOR ENFORCING THE RULES

This proves (again) I am not BOC. Woot! woot

Went to see the simpsons movie which was hilarious. Srsly recommend it for the funny.

[Al Golagnic]

You really thought that movie was something special? I would pick watching three old Simpsons episodes over watching that movie as a way to kill 90 minutes everyday and twice on Sunday.

I chuckled maybe 3 times, never really laughed.

[Unibomber14]

I gotta see the movie out of principle. Whether good or bad. It's the Simpsons. I mean, they're a legacy.

The Bourne Ultimatum on Aug. 3 is gonna rock too.

Oh, and I have a $300 ten man tourney tonight. Wish me luck!
