So far the best I've got is pokerpd.com or pokercheatlist.com. Those seem kinda lame, though . Some guy bought up like every domain that starts with the word poker, too, so that makes this way harder.

He said he'll sue for "tons. ... I'm here to collect. They're going to lose. I would recommend they pay the crew and get the season back on board."

He denied reports he's suffering from bi-polar disorder. "What does that mean?" he asked "... What's the cure? Medicine? Make me like them? Not gonna happen. I'm bi-winning. I win here. I win there."

When the topic turned to his wild-partying lifestyle, Sheen said he didn't remember the last time he did drugs. "A couple days before the suits rolled in and said change it. ..." he said, notes USA Today. "I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was banging 7 gram rocks. Because that's how I roll. I have one speed. I have one gear: Go. "

His last binge "was radical," he said. "The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards look like droopy-eyed, armless children."

Sheen said he isn't worried and relapsing - or dying.

Said Sheen (who passed a urine test and a blood test): "Dying's for fools. There are certain blends I will not entertain because that's how people go down."

NBC interviewer Jeff Rossen appeared taken aback when Sheen said he wanted to be paid $3 million an episode to return to the show. He's reportedly paid $1.8 million an episode now, one of the highest-paid actors on television.

"You want a raise?" Rossen asked.

Replied Sheen: "Yeah, look what they put me through."

scandalsofpoker (similar names taken, this one seems free)

pokerblacklist
blacklistpoker

gossipgambler (sweet pun on gossip girl imo)

I assume this isn't restricted to HSNL, but if it were you could get around awesome names being taken by doing HSNLsecrets instead of pokersecrets.

Just brainstorming here. Some of these may be terrible, but I'm a fan of brainstorming out loud.

I know there have been some workout/health posts in here lately so maybe you guys can help me out. I'll start it off with a brag:

I have a weight loss bet with my brother that started January 4th. In order to "not lose" the bet I had to lose 15 lbs by March 1. For the outright win, I needed to lose 20lbs.

On Jan 4th I was 212.6 lbs. Today I weighed in this morning at 195. /brag.

I'm obv a lock to chop but I'd need to lose 2.5 lbs in order to win this thing outright and I would looooove to do that. Is there an easy/safe way to lose a bunch of water weight quickly? I have zero experience with dehydrating myself or anything like that so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't really have any relevant expertise, but I'm pretty sure if you just hang out in a sauna until you weigh 2.5 pounds less you'll be fine. Take breaks if you get uncomfortable, stop if you start feeling really sick or dizzy.

I mean, I used to drop ~6 pounds in a 2.5 hr wrestling practice just working out, no problem When I needed to cut extra, I'd throw on one layer of cloth and one layer of synthetic non-breathable material and do laps in the pool room.

I've never just sat in a sauna to cut weight, we always had to be active since it was technically practice, but if you are already reasonably hydrated you will def lose a fair bit by just sitting in the sauna. Its probably less healthy than a workout though. IMO if you haven't already tried to cut water weight, 2.5 pounds is close to nothing. A gallon of water weighs 8.4 pounds so you only have to sweat out a third of a milk jug!

Lol I just remembered we had guys that would put tape around water bottles and suck on Warheads and try to fill the whole thing up with spit during school. I never did it, but I can point you to some experts if you are interested

Edit: nemoindenial says it very concisely lol

Caffeine is a diuretic so having some espresso would help bc you're taking in so little volume of water but a decent bit of caffeine.

(It won't make a huge difference but if you're trying to do it so quickly, everything is worth a shot)

I think I'm just going to wake up at 9am and try to sweat out the last 2 pounds. Someone in the HU forum just told me about the spitting thing. Thats sounds fun but I think I'll save that for another challenge

If you have until morning, just don't drink much water and sleep in a warm room or with extra blankets/clothes and you should wake up 2.5 pounds lighter. Even without doing anything to facilitate it, it's pretty normal to lose a couple pounds overnight.

20 minutes in sauna will lose you 2.5 pounds
