Reply to Thatoneguyinslc's RANT of the week! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

My guess is that you were penning this rant all the way from NY to SLC with the stewardesses, sorry, flight attendants *cough* offering you six ounces of ice with two ounces of soda (bet they'd call it "large"). I've been known to rant. You should've heard me when I was planning a wedding.... but still, doesn't hold a candle to yours. Cheers. -A.

Yes, I think it's high time the government stepped in and regulated the sizes of drinks and their ounce allowance. -A. P.S. wish I could rant like you.... oh, well, something to aspire to now. *winks again*

Reply to I'm Morally Superior! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Muggaz, you're the only person I think I've ever seen apologize on JU, so even though we would disagree on many issues, that gives you huge points in my ledger. I'm not taking sides on this stupid thing 'cause I like you all. But I guess I just wanted to say, Chin up. You're a cool guy and I've really enjoyed your posts and your replies to mine. I would imagine that we could all work on delivery--I've deleted a couple of my own posts for that reason.

the ridiculous basis that it is a game of skill while stud is a game of chance That's got to go in one of those books of stupid laws. As for hold 'em vs. stud, I just have better luck at hold 'em. We play dealer's prerogative and rarely deviate from Texas Hold 'em. I don't think I've quite mast

Reply to Poker with beginners (and other stupid things) in Misc JoeUser Forums

Yeah! H and I were even watching reruns of 2003 on our honeymoon. He was going for Moneymaker, I was going for Farha. Moneymaker was good but I think, wrongly I'm sure, that you shouldn't be allowed to hide behind sunglasses (ruins my perception of tobacco chawin', whiskey knockin', bandanna-ed cowboys in a saloon when you put one of 'em in sunglasses).

But if the filly in question is your wife/girlfriend then she has no right to refuse her marital obligations anyway, so consent is not an issue at all. Hey Sir Peter, old chap, I'd love to see you take that up with Lorena Bobbit.

Kingbee, I read in the Onion "Kennedy slain by CIA, Mafia, Castro, LBJ, Teamsters, Freemasons: President shot 129 times from 43 different angles." But maybe our islandic compatriots don't get that over there.

Poker with beginners (and other stupid things) in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm a big fan of pretty much all forms of poker, and admit that I succumb to the current rage, Texas Hold 'em. Great game. Lots of strategy and mind games-- --which all turn to utter CRAP when playing with beginners. For one, there's beginner's luck. Last night we were teaching, teaching for crying out loud, our friends to play, and H went out

Reply to I have an interview! in Business JoeUser Forums

Ask lots of questions. Make a list in advance (I always forget what I'm going to ask). Don't drink caffeinated beverages beforehand--if your heart is pounding anyway, no reasont to put it into overdrive. And always go to the bathroom about 10 minutes before the interview. If you're a girl (Ramona?) and this isn't too weird, talcum powder on your hands keeps them from sw

Law, huh? I'd get your head checked. Have you tried clerking in a law office, or going to grad school and teaching PS; local government positions, internships (just to beef up resume)? I graduated not too long ago and was forced to find a temp agency. They got me a job within four days. But it hurt my ego.
