I don't like cheese on anything but pizza (can't be much of it) and I'd still give up the bacon first:s
For the decathlon - free throws are fun! Or maybe (a la Montreal) strap Bunner up in the pads and shootout or first to 5!
Automatic W for first sign of Knucklepuck or the Conway triple deke.

Ben is one sound guy. Head screwed on and knows where he stands in the poker world.

I listened to the show today while driving cross country - nice to live in a country that you can cross in half a day.

I agree with the whole thread that cheese >>> bacon.

Spoiler:
Cheese vs chocolate, now that is a tough one.

Pulitzer Prize winning comic strip and no one checked it out?


BTW - anyone seen sarge lately?

I snapped bacon, but decided to give it some more thought as you suggested in the podcast.

After two day's, I'm still giving up bacon before cheese.

Not sure if it would be that close.

Anyway, I would snap drop chocolate. (Tip: my favorite dessert is cheesecake.)

As much as I love bacon, cheese is a juggernaut here.

Now bacon vs eggs, could we have a match? I'd probably ditch the bacon here, but that wouldn't be a snap that time.

I understand there is no cheese in Japan.

In the same way that there's no (real) cheese in America.

There will be cheese in any Japanese supermarket, I think, but little amd probably expensive. Where you'd expect the cheese to be in a UK supermarket, in a Japanese one there's a similarly sized aisle full of myriad different types of tofu.

There's no bacon in the Middle East. What's your point?

A whole society exists where they never considered cheese something fit for consumption.

I would entertain living in Japan.

That Ben86 interview was very good.

Ditch Bacon. Easy choice if you're not Canadian.

Easy decision, Ditch the bacon and take the money.

Cheese is included on so many things, and it hard to substitute.
Bacon, while individually better than cheese, can be replaced by all sorts of meat.

In NFL terms, I might throw the challenge flag here.


P.S. So much love for cheese ITT!

Nobody went for this but does anyone fancy a last longer bet for next week?
12-09-2012 , 06:25 PM
I'll take you up on that bet Ovalman. Long as it's not plo or razz. Be great to get a few more in though.

I'll start a thread, Tuesday or Wednesday

roger that
12-09-2012 , 07:53 PM
bye bye bacon

thought process: pizza

Crying fold bacon. Giving up cheese would not just force you to give up on a lot of great food, it would also be very inconvenient, since it's used so often as an ingredient.

DegenDecathalon:
- Some sort of drunken poker? E.g. drink 4 beers each and play 3 rounds of 8 tables of Hyper HUSNGs. So 24 matches total, and at the beginning of each round you play 8 tables at once.
- Is there a Karaoke bar at the resort? If so, you can have a Karaoke match. Adam picks a song for MJ, and MJ picks a song for Adam. E.g. Bieber for Adam, Gangam Style for MJ? :P Whoever gets the higher score wins. Or even better - record the videos, post on YouTube, and see who can get more votes in a week.

Just got a chance to listen to this weeks ep. I've been wanting to hear from Ben ever since he was making vids for Leggo. He was always one of my top 3 vid producers (along with Galfond & DrGiggy fwiw) and I'm glad to see he was able to climb the stakes and dominate them. Great interview from everybody....loved the thoughts on various opponents and dealing with the downswing. Great job guys!


Oh and - I think I could pretty easily give up cheese. Pizza would be the biggest challenge, but I actually think cheeseless pizza sounds pretty decent.
