The first person to talk to me today, (besides my darling wife) set me off on a path of anger and destruction. He is currently available for any employment opportunities he may happen to come across. Each of the next three "people" to approach me, only made it worse. One of whom, has suddenly become unemployed as well. In this day and age and time of uncertainty, stealing from me has to be just about the stupidest decision one could ever make. May heaven take mercy on the next "people" that try and do or say something stupid around me.
I really thought I'd made myself clear at the beginning of the year but just in case, fair warning! I've fuckin' had it with "people."
This could end up being.... a rather long day!
My sincerest thanks for dropping by....
I run good.... NO? ....
I ran really bad this weekend.
How bad?
How about busting out of ten games with the second nuts.
Yup, bad beats ahead!
The worst of which was where as second high chip stack, I flopped Quad's and got it in on the turn against the tables chip leader. Here's how that hand and for the most part, the rest of my weekend went.

Just re-reading that, makes me sick to my stomach.
But it was just one of those weekends. I ran a flopped set into higher flopped set, under-boats got caught by rivered over-boats and I would always be one card short of the nut straight or flush, every time I played them. I was behind in exactly one situation, the flopped sets. I was caught by a dominated hand in all of the other nine games.
Crap like that, just knocks the wind right out of your sails.
So I think I'll rest the rest of this week and take a little break. I don't know when my sails will again feel the breeze of NLHE, but I don't think it'll be anytime too terribly soon to be honest.
AND YOU KNOW I HEAR YOU ZOOKS! IT WAS JUST LIKE THAT FOR ME TOO.

Almost top 10....
Percent that is!

Pebs ran a $2 buy-in into a nearly top 10% finish in last night's Double Duece. Her $2 buy-in and perserverance during the game paid off however, in the form of winning $50 for her efforts. The language she used when she busted out with K-K vs. A-4, ( to a rivered Ace of course ) is not exactly "Family Day" material I'm afraid.
That's what it is here in Bedrock though, Family Day. What a great idea! Sticking an extra long weekend in the year, right when it's really needed. A little something to break up a long and dreary winter.
We spent the day with Fred and Wilma and had a blast. On the way home, we experienced a bit of Canadiana that couldn't have been scripted any better. Picture a farm field with ice from recently melted snow, covering an area of about 5 Acres. Now imagine the Hockey game that was taking place right there, out in the middle of nowhere. Car's and Van's were just parked along the side of the country road, as the little ones chased pucks, the parents chased the little ones and the sky was a blue that had not been seen for a very, very long time. It was one of those moments when I really wished I had my skates and stick. The smiles on the faces of everyone from the kids to the parents, might just have been brighter than the glorious sun that shone brightly down onto the makeshift rink in the country.
Family Day. What a great concept!

Frantic Friday : The BadBlood wants it Edition.... (Uhhhh....NSFW..... at all !)
This was a comment from our last Frantic Friday ;
"Very cool stuff, but if you could focus more on thongs and asses next Friday, it'd be cool with me." -BadBlood
Now since I kinda' like the guy AND he's invited me down to South Cackalacky for some poker, drinks and a party, I see no reason not to give him what he wants. So if today's Frantic Friday is more to your liking than say.... it would normally be, you could always do the clicky-on-da-linky-thingy and show my fellow BB da' love!
Now whenever you're trying to make a friend happy, don't you find that you end up always asking yourself the same question?

I mean, I know I can utilize all the :

material available on the web. That's a given. Maybe I could even focus on :

just to spice things up a tad. I do know one thing for certain however, I'll need to make sure I get all this done before my :

I can be so cranky when I don't get enough sleep!
Now let's see, BadBlood did say he wanted :

and thongs, and he wants them despite my known penchant for leaning towards the girls of :

where we all know that some special :

can really add to the :

But since this is his Special Edition of Frantic Friday, I should really try to find him some :

and see if I can keep it :

while surfing the intertubles for some quality :

Sorry, what's that?
Oh........ the "soft" & "clean" bits?
Yeah I know! I'm afraid I'll have to keep it on,( or near ) the "soft" & "clean" side just in case.
One never knows if there might be a :

out there, that doesn't appreciate true art when they see it!
If this is your first Frantic Friday dear reader, consider this your :

but don't worry, not only have we never had a :

but I promise not to leave you :

either !
Now while I was doing the google thing, looking for some incredibly :

I ran across a......... Hmmmmmmm.........
Let me see now,
It's a gaggle of Geese.
A murder of Crow.
A swarm of Bees.
A herd of Cattle.
A litter of Pups.
A pack of Wolves.
A rafter of Turkeys.
and naturally,
A party of Bloggers.
Hmmmmm..... soooooooooooo......
I guess I'll have to go with a "kiss" of Butt playing :

Finding them however, was obviously only a chance discovery.
I don't like to leave an awful lot to chance when I'm trying to be the friend I know I can be. So I went out and hired me some real professional types. Some specially trained :

Now those two did a bang-up job and lead me to this :

who seemed content in just :

for a new :

She did have :

and a few obvious :

but I can tell you for absoloute certain, she had a great grasp on :

So the "experts" didn't do too bad of a job at all, but they were a little light in the 'ass' and 'thongs' department I thought. So I had to let them go.
Now although I really hope that this Frantic Friday has more than met with your expectations my fellow BB, fear not! For I will exhaust the far reaches of the intertubes on your behalf if needed, in search of more 'ass' and 'thongs' for you. Just to make sure that your Friday's, are every bit as Frantic as you desire them to be.
In fact, I'll go ahead and let you in on a little bit of next weeks Frantic Friday too. But just a touch! Can't go ruining all the "creative License" of a Frantic Friday in just one day now, can we!
So here's a little bit of the extra research I'm working on right now!
I'm gonna' go down to the Beach just for you :

and I'm going to check under everything I find just lying around down there :

You know what Blood? I'm even going to do a couple of naughty things, that I probably shouldn't be doing at all!

But that's just me and how I roll for a good friend. You always know you can count on me, to take one for the team when needed!
So on that note, Happy Frantic Friday everyone !

WOW !
As I was headed out for dinner, I came to quite the realization.
Day one, turns into Month one tomorrow.
A month without a smoke! Had to be all of you offering so much great support.
My sincerest thanks!
I'm outta' here 'till Friday morning now. Hopefully, I'll have something to put up for Frantic Friday by then.

Silly Sci Fi fluff...
Running ridiculously behind for a flight out to Montreal and I still haven't started on my little Friday project for BadBlood either. So this crap will just have to do for today!
Oh and Riggs my brudder.... you is da' bomb!!!!!!
Yesterday's texts and comments, made it the hardest I've laughed & thought at the same time in forever!
= = = = = = = = =
So in this sci-fi character thingy.....
Apparently Iggy! need not worry. I've got your back little fella.
Gimli
With a hearty attitude and a gruff yet caring demeanor, you are staunchly dedicated to fighting the good fight.
"Nobody tosses a Dwarf!"
Back for Frantic Friday don't worry! I promised my fellow BB and well hell, there just ain't no way I'm letting him down.

America, you ignorant slut*....
What kind of focus issues does a nation have to have, when an athlete is thoroughly disgraced and broken because of a hit off a joint?
Now not to start an international incident here or anything, but don't we all have slightly bigger problems than Michael Phelps taking a toke?
It's when you guy's pull crap like this, that it just confuses the hell out of me.
Your current President can be a toker and an admitted user of and I quote from his journal, "blow when you could afford it." In fact, several of your previous Presidents have also admitted to pot use at one time or another, and life just rolls along as normal for them! Hell! You'll see those Presidents joking about it on Saturday Night Live!
But a kid at a party is seen with a pipe to his mouth, we should bust his ass and take away all that he's worked for dammit!
Your national game is a disgrace and records for the last ten to twelve years should probably all be thrown out the window, due to performance enhancing drugs. Who's using, who's not, who's honest about it, who's in denial? A total crapshoot as to who is legit and who's a super-user. The sport is a farce right now and that's a real shame for a game with such a beautiful, long and storied history in the world of sport.
Get caught taking a hit off a pipe though, and your sponsors and fans drop you like a rock!
A professional Basketball player damn near becomes legendary, for abusing a 19 year old girl in a hotel room and settling out of court. Hell! The team flew him in and out of L.A. daily, so he could be in court, but still make the games at night. Maybe that's just a part of that game though? Who was it before? Oh yeah that's right! Didn't Ruben Patterson from the Sonics do hard time for rape as well? Fifteen day's.... FOR RAPE! YES.... DAY'S!
That hit of grass at the party though, that should cost you everything you've worked so hard in life to achieve, right?
Back in 1998 after losing his Gold Medal at The Nagano Olympics, we as a nation welcomed home Ross Regabliati with open arms and laughs of joy. I mean, go figure huh? A 20 something kid living the Snowborder lifestyle, traveling with 100's just like him, had some THC in his system. Ya' think a party just might break out sometime through it all people?
If you can help me understand why Michael Phelps should even be under the microscope as much as he is, let alone as far under the bus as it seems most are willing to throw him right now, I would greatly appreciate it.
Why don't we spend a little of our energy focusing on getting a few of our friends gainfully employed again, or maybe take a look at that minor little pollution issue that the half-million dump sites nationwide may be causing for our kids. There might even be a couple of other things a little higher on our list of "issues" that need to be dealt with, other than young master Phelps and his momentary inhale.
Crazy thought here! Why doesn't someone smarter than me figure out how to tie UIGEA and a little grass together? Since your new #1 man Barrack admitted that he too googled Phelps Pot for the whole story, it surely couldn't hurt.
Oh and don't even think of hitting me up with that, "Michael Phelps is a role model for our kids" crap either! If the President of the United States of America isn't supposed to be a role model for your kids, I don't know who the hell is. Isn't your country special, because anyone can grow up to be President? Even the occasional use as a kid, pot smoker?
Priorities kids..... PRI-FUCKIN-ORITIES !
*Always my favorite S.N.L. line! First chance I've ever had to use it!
