Definitely going to try that fish sauce. Nice one Doyle.

Okay, I gotta give this some love in case no one does.

Pfft...like I care about cooking rules in an area where they think what they cook food on should be what you call the food.

"We're having barbecue tonight."
"Damn. I was hoping we'd have oven."

Confirmed.

And will be from AOL.COM

As a Canuck, would you eat poutine with nacho cheese sauce?

A barbecue can refer to the cooking method itself, the meat cooked this way, or to a type of social event featuring this type of cooking. Barbecuing is usually done outdoors by smoking meat over wood or charcoal. Restaurant barbecue may be cooked in large, specially-designed brick or metal ovens. Barbecue is practiced in many countries and there are numerous regional variations.

depends how high/drunk i was

.... and a chicken-fried steak has no chicken in it. It is just a reference to cooking beef as if it were chicken.

I once had lunch with Doyle, he had grilled fish, which was neither cooked with beans nor chicken-fried. I do recall he remarked he liked Sweet Tomatoes, a largely salad-based chain with a restaurant in Henderson that was done in apparently by the effect of Covid on buffets generally. RIP Sweet Tomatoes.

Haha funny stuff. Never knew that was a phrase people say until the movie Almost Famous, when the band is squabbling and one of the characters says something like "guys, let's just go get some barbecue." Obviously, such usage existed long before, but that was the first time I noticed it. Now I hear it all the time.

I just chalk it up to the evolution of language over time. The term "chili" clearly arose from the pepper that flavors it, which should suggest neither the presence of beans nor meat defines it.

Or think of the word "casserole." It's supposed to be a type of dish. But for the most part, our language has morphed into it meaning the food that gets cooked in it – so much so, that I've seen the dish itself sold as a "casserole dish."

From my culture, consider "sushi." The word itself not only refers to the rice, but that the rice is flavored with vinegar. My grandparents, aunts and uncles always made it with the sour rice, as the name suggests, which is also the reason I hated it as a kid. Nowadays, at least in American restaurants, you almost never find sushi prepared on that type of rice.

Loosely and oppositely related, one of my pet peeves are restaurants who call a huge variety of drinks "martinis," simply because they are served in a martini glass. Some will even have a menu that says "martini drinks." And while many listings on there are just variations of an actual martini (e.g. the Gibson, the Kiss In The Dark), others are completely separate drinks that just happen to be served in the same kind of glass (e.g. Manhattan, Cosmopolitan, Gilmet, Lemon Drop).

I'll leave you with one last thing: I once stood in line at a Tex-Mex grill behind a woman who – get this – asked for "a quesadilla without cheese."

Yeah, we have a somewhat redundant "hot water heater" at my house, if the name accurately follows the function.

Oh man.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Carlin bits ever, "Airline Announcements" from 1992's Jammin' In New York special:

"Place the turkey in a 'preheated' oven. It's ridiculous. There are only two states an oven can possibly exist in: heated or unheated. 'Preheated' is a meaningless F-ing term!"

I had not seen this thread previously and just now realized I had not seen a tweet from Doyle in a long time. He was tweeting a bunch almost daily. I just looked at his account and last entry was June 11th.

Does this hack have something to do with it or is he ill?

Damn, I was ready to ship 10K to a notary at law in Nigeria whose professor uncle had left millions in a legacy to his alma mater in Denver that were just begging to be wired over to me, even though I´d only get to keep 30%.

I don't care if it's really from him or not. I'm sending the money. Gotta be a small club that Doyle stiffs.

George Carlin and Doyle discussed in the same thread. Nice ty boys.

How do we know Mason wasn't hacked and the Doyle email is real? Better send just in case.

Lol don’t let anyone know that he brings in all the money into the games tho

Same here. If he needs money I want to get it to him. I'll send bitcoin or whatever is fastest.

Such a great poker player and pioneer of the game. This thread saddens me that people are not taking this seriously.

The downfall of Doyle Brunson is one of the saddest stories in poker. Now he e mailing people for a favor or for money, that he plans to use to buy action for Negreanu's WSOP! Fortunately Negreanu's outstanding crushing WSOP play is guaranteed profit, so Doyle Brunson's short term financial collapse will quickly be solved forever.

Or, after incredibly long consideration, it strikes me it may have been someone sending scam emails, only pretending to be Doyle Brunson.

Kind regards

After 87 years on earth, he ran cash dry. Happens to the best.

I am 100% convinced that the email is real and this thread is an attempt at preventing Doyle from building up a roll and getting back in the game.

I am sending money just to be safe.

Spotted this, took a professional interest (I work in cyber security) smiled at some of the funnier responses...was about to move on without being a bof, when I saw this...

And a bof I get to be...if its meant to be funny, it fails.

And if serious, lol...that's about as wrong as you can be in 2020.

.... or there is a special website that will sell them to you online, and you can send bitcoin to pay for them...... or at least that's what the guy who called me from the special tax collections department office in Islamabad told me.
