Re: Vanessa Rousso Horse/Cockroach Costume
nothing like a little Kevmode to make me feel better about my life.
I'm wondering what kind of horses nano hangs out with to make him think it was a horse at first.

Re: Vanessa Rousso Horse/Cockroach Costume
Lay off Vanessa Rousso.
She might not have looks that are to everybody's taste, and might not be considered amongst the very best players in the world, but she seems like a game girl, is very good for poker, and looks great to me.
I see her cantering through most wsop fields, and would happily back her in the mane event.

Re: Vanessa Rousso Horse/Cockroach Costume
I always liked her, but it was obvious that she was getting no publicity this WSOP due to poor play, so he last resort was to draw attention to herself with this joke of an idea.
Well, it worked, but the tide may have turned opinion wise. She had many bashers, but lots of defenders, too. She will lose a few with this nonsense. Not that it really is wrong, or harms anyone, but it is just a publicity stunt that turns into a lie. A bet? Ok.....a bet that you wanted to lose so you could get some publicity.

Agree completely. While others are jockeying for position, she may trot out to a big lead. There are always gonna be neigh-sayers.

For a long time I've wanted to make a thread titled "Just ****ing play poker" directed at the poker media establishment, the coaching industry, poker players who have agents, etc. It all feels like bull**** to me even if some of those examples do satisfy a specific need.

Re: Vanessa Rousso Horse/Cockroach Costume
That's not necessarily your fault:
Quote:
English translators have often sought to render the word Ungeziefer as "insect", but this is not strictly accurate. In Middle German, Ungeziefer literally means "unclean animal not suitable for sacrifice" [5] and is sometimes used colloquially to mean "bug" – a very general term, unlike the scientific sounding "insect". Kafka had no intention of labeling Gregor as any specific thing, but instead wanted to convey Gregor's disgust at his transformation. The phrasing used by Joachim Neugroschel[6] is "transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect" whereas David Wyllie says "transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin"....
Ungeziefer has sometimes been translated as "cockroach", "dung beetle", "beetle", and other highly specific terms...
