  1. I shaved my beard off today. Now after every drink I take I go to suck the liquid off my stache, but there's nothing there. I don't know who I am anymore! It's a cold world out here!!!

  2. What's the deal these past couple of weeks? Seems everyone is trying to one up everybody else on social media for how many pints of salsa they canned. This is why I avoid Facebook. Who cares?

  3. We officially moved our wedding back. This f#&%ing sucks

  7. Thought about creating a thread, instead if a Mod determines the topic discussion worthy they can start it. My comment regarding coming sporting events at dear O' NU is... who here thinks now would be a great time to address the sardine packaging of fans in Memorial Stadium. Might be time to well... add actual seats?

  8. How many people will die in the U.S. from Covid-19?

      Obviously not.  The 18 month pipe dream is not happening either.  But I'd feel kuch much better hearing updates on that front instead of everyone complaining about test numbers being factual or unfactual.

      I'm far less concerned about the testing at this point than I am with actually treating it.  Case numbers will only go up, treating it and lowering the death toll stat is what I'm worried about.  And people are stepping up to help manufacture equipment and find treatments and get that moving.

      Compared to smaller populations, sure.  That's expected.  It's not perfect. Far from it.  But it's getting there.

      The upward curve of cases was greatly influenced by the testing numbers going from basically null to full gear.  I don't think we will see THAT many in 12 days.  I'd expect more like less than half that.  I hope much much less.

      Hoping 5k or under, but that would mean we express lane found a way to treat it.  Realistically, I think this is just life now for some time to come.

    Everyone on Social Media after about 3 days of having their kids at home:  My god, this is horrible, how do teachers do it?  

  24. I know poker is not as big as it was about 10 years ago...but do any of you have a bad beat (or great win) story?

    1. Redux

      Handful of months ago we were playing pretty regularly, like 2-3 nights a week my buddy was.  He had gotten good enough to the point his poker friends were being referred to as "the marks".  Mind you this guy learned poker from me and a couple other friends of mine.  Now the dude has his own posse of marks and a legit Vig sheet they are all on, some pretty deep.

       

      Anyways, I'm hosting a game and he's got a good stack while mines about half his size.  Game is hold em, pocket aces are thrown to me.  I'm always half tempted to fold them since they almost NEVER win by the river card but I never do cuz, aces.

       

      (His cards may have been a touch different, can't exactly remember but the rest is accurate)

      Naturally he starts pushing chips, couple guys fall out.  I "reluctantly" call.  Board flops. Ace, Jack, Ace.  It's over, he just doesn't know it.  He immediately starts pushing stacks.  Everyone else bows out.  I slow play it, really battling the decision to call as he smirks.  I call and the turn doesn't matter, he likes it even more and pushes again.  More of my mental anguish deciding to call or not.  He laughs thinking I'm dead in the water.  I know he has a solid 2 pair at least, probably a Jack and he's chasing a Full House.  I call. River drops, it's another Jack and he gets his boat as evidenced by more than half his remaining chips he pushed in to cover everything I have.  I immediately call and flip over my Quads.  His eyes go from elated to stunned realizing he just got played.  He couldn't even do anything but say ".......well played".  Great moment.
