TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

I tell people I'll listen to them babble endlessly about their stupid fantasy team for a buck. After I assure them I'm serious, they don't come babbling to me about their stupid fantasy team anymore.

Same thing with poker players and their who-gives-a-**** bad beats.


A buck.

Bad beat stories just to tell a bad beat story is a terrible thing. However, if someone asks how the game went, or whatever, and it's in the full context of the game, and the drama is minimalized, I don't mind.

Example: I was running well, pulled off some nice bluffs, trapped a guy once while holding a straight flush draw, but then boom, ran into a river rat who sucked out his ace. Game over.

That's acceptable. Not exceptable is "I owned the table, then some hack (insert play by play, every motion/bet/etc) beat me."

Do you offer people a buck to listen to your crappy band? :p
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

Oh for ****'s sake. Another crappy draft position, 11/12 this time. :mad:

I love live drafts. I think you get a better feel for how the draft is going, you get to see how the other teams work as they shuffle their lists around, etc etc.

And when you steal a player, seeing the mini-meltdown is always fun.

I finally have a night when I can lay on the couch, take in a twins game, actually use a computer to post...and the electricity goes out. God dammit.

Is it storms? Or something else?

It's beautiful here right now.
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

And even worse than normal because I have no radio or light to read.

Screw this I'm going storm chasing. Nasty weather around here. :)
 
Re: TRP: Insert Tasteless Title Here

The last couple times we've had storms I'd just go outside to the front porch with a beer.
