I just want to say that the whole notion of getting at, or getting back at, a man by ****ing his girlfriend is jam-packed with assumptions that I think are pretty twisted. I don't know where to start in taking it apart, and life is too short anyway.

If someone tried to get at me by ****ing one of my girlfriends, they might be surprised by the outcome.

Depending on the girlfriend they picked, they might be really surprised.

Don't forget my elitist suggestion that Hernandez use his celebrity to get a paying customer kicked out. That was pretty twisted too.

What bothers me is the "I'm from MA, we fight back when someone disrespects us" attitude.
That's not what I said though. I agree that's a bad attitude. I was taught at a young age to fight only when necessary to defend myself and I liked that philosophy so I kept it.

However, I will admit that I'm quick to talk **** if I feel someone is taking shots at me with words.

Oh good morning ladies and gents.

Years ago, one of my friends went on a weird vacation to Italy with his (male) friend, his friend's wife, and a platonic female friend. My friend's friend ends up getting delayed for a day in New York for work, so my friend shows up at a Tuscan B&B accompanied by the two women.

My friend offers to check in for both groups, and goes up the counter. The host discreetly tells him that for a small tip the host will pretend there is only one room available. My friend is like wtfwtfwtf and the host is very apologetic, explaining that he saw they were from San Francisco so, as he explained, "so I iust thought, oh, you know, San Francisco."

That's a really good story.
09-26-2017 , 03:25 PM
Would have been a better story if he went along with the host's suggestion.
09-26-2017 , 11:15 PM
Maybe he's gay bec, you know, San Francisco.

I'd have so much more money following my last couple sessions if only I would fold QQ preflop.

bob just go down to cumberlin farm and get me a laage daak roast ok? 2 shuggas, no cream and get one for youse too.

Oh, and last night I email swcpoker.eu support that their rake makes HU mix play unbeatable (and prob other formats as well). 12 hours later they emailed back a new structure that basically cuts rake in half (didn't help me tonight though lol).

So of the half dozen or so of us that post in LHE forum and occasionally play there, we just got a break on the rake.

totally get the noble part of this sentiment, so there's a good part.

You have another side where you get people who practice martial arts (or just banging around in the garage/at the rink) where people start yearning for the opportunity to use their hard won skills for good cause. In the guise of not backing down from "the right thing" they're actually pushing a little harder in spots that lead to fights.

(Not saying that you're doing this or ever would, but it is something that comes to mind)

I suppose it's similar to building a racecar. What fun is building it if you never race it?

Back when I was really into lifting weights 3 or 4 days a week, I found myself intentionally avoiding fun stuff like basketball because I didn't want to mess up my schedule or get injured or impede my recovery. Then I asked myself "what are my motivations for getting stronger?" Then I made a conscious effort to do more fun stuff because it became clear that I wasn't making good use of the little time I have on earth.

He denied it, and then got mad when we suggested that he was wink wink nudge nudge denying it. He's definitely a traditional marriage, cis hetero monogamy guy, so it wouldn't surprise me if he were super offended by the host's suggestion. And we definitely didn't push it jokewise.

(Okay, fine, we pushed it a little. )
09-27-2017 , 11:07 AM
It would have been better to push it so hard .

I instruct a staff of 40 how to use force and I lift heavy weights 6 to 7 days a week. I avoid physical confrontation though i definitely do not fear it. Confidence is it's own reward.

That's a lot of words, I don't even know what they all mean. How would you Have described him 10 years ago?

Probably exactly the same except without "cis." Hopefully that's the only word that's confusing.

Cis and trans are opposites, cis is someone whose gender corresponds to the sex they were assigned at birth, trans is someone whose gender doesn't correspond to the sex they were assigned at birth.

---

The terms are mildly amusing for organic chemists since they're also used to describe molecular configurations.

Not sure how many will appreciate this story but one of the worst grades I got on a chemistry test related to cis and trans. IUPAC nomenclature uses (E) and (Z) (abbreviations of German words) instead of cis and trans, and on the exam I recall the professor explaining that one could remember it by saying it like a German. So I sounded it out to myself in a German accent - cEEEEs and trahnZZZZ. Easy game, until I got my test back with a 0% on that section - apparently the professor mean ZZZis. As my friends were quick to point out, I did worse than a monkey would have. So at any rate, now I remember (E) and (Z) by pronouncing it wrong, and then reversing it.

The mnemonic for trans/z was "z-zame-zide" pretty sure.

This sounds like me a decade ago. Now I'm just happy to have the energy to lift heavy 3 times a week. Adulthood sucks.

I'm coming to AZ to practice once I graduate so I can play cards with Howard.

Mark my words.
