Turn it up…bring the noise. Yeeeeeeah, booooy. I can’t get Public Enemy out of my head.

While on my way to poker last night I decided that no matter how much I play, no matter how hard I try, I’m probably never going to be as good a card player as my friends, much less as good as the sharks at the casinos. I guess it’s like how I look at driving a stick. I know how to do it, but I’m not very good at it in real life. So I decided that I need to just fold, fold, fold until I get cards. When I get them, I’m just going to bet them and hope someone goes with me.

Amazingly, it worked. I walked out of there with $60 in my pocket, $50 up for the night. I think I was the only one at the table who didn’t put more than their original $10 in the pot. I held my own and actually walked away with some cash. I have a pretty good streak of only playing my original $10 going. Generally people will spend $20-$30 buying more chips after they’ve lost all theirs, so not busting until the end of the night is actually a pretty decent accomplishment when you consider how far behind the rest of the table skill-wise I am.

Beyond that, Adam showed us this last night. If you remember the subservient chicken campaign from Burger King, where you could log onto a Web site and type in things for a dude dressed in a chicken suit to do, this is along the same lines. The one big difference is that this is a super hot girl in a tank top and short shorts, and her antics can be a little more risqué. “Cowboy” and “Kiss” were two of my favorite instructions.
