The difference is Gates doesn't have to worry about going broke whereas Durr does.

I haven't heard anything about that project for a year and a half. The article was dated June 2009.

I like that you actually spelled "to be honest."

I'm sorry I have no further contributions to the thread.

I wonder if Gabe is going to get a big head now because he's being mentioned with those other 3 guys

I was railing the $3k HORSE that Ivey won at the WSOP and an old man dressed casually in jeans and a scruffy t-shirt next to me asked me what event it was. I said it was the $3k HORSE. Some other guy interrupted our railtarding and said congratulations to the old man. I was like ??? what did you win? "The world championship" as he pat me on the back. "Of basketball".

i played with Jack Black and Bullet Tooth Tony (Snatch) in Shreveport...Bullet Tooth was hammered and he was berating the whole table but no one said anything cause he was dumping money. Until he told this fat lady that she was supposed to look at her cards not eat them and he got tossed while hes yelling that he could buy this casino if he wanted while being escorted out.....Jack black was the coolest tho no complaints

I understand the Steve Martin part but could you translate the rest for the older generation.

I heard the guys from the TV show "2 Months, 2 Million" partake in the occasional hand of poker.
