Two identical cards show up in high stakes poker game

BicycleRepairMan says...

Shoes are not used in poker, only blackjack. Obviously, there are hundreds of variations of poker, and one could pretty much make one up on the fly, so I'm sure it has happened, but in general, poker is always played with one, untampered, fresh deck of cards. I believe for high-stake games like this, they probably unwrap a new deck before each game. This is likely a production error, somehow 2 queens have snuck in in the factory somehow. Seeing as they were literally together in the deck, they probably were stuck and had not been shuffled apart yet.

Um, does no one understand that poker and blackjack are played with multiple decks in the shoe?

The Louis Experiment - What does it mean? (Standup Talk Post)

Ryjkyj says...

>> ^spoco2:

You justify your downloading your way, I do it mine. Let's leave it at that


See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. What's the point of having a conversation if you only want to talk to people who agree with you?

It seems to me that you're just drawing the conclusions from what I say that make you feel better about your behavior. Maybe "an orgy of self congratulation" would've been a better metaphor.

It's important to point out here too, that the money issue was just one of many that might affect my decision. A decision which by the way, was never actually made. All I said was that I didn't think that I would have a problem stealing from the guy. And I've already said twice now that I probably wouldn't download it. But since the first thing you harped on didn't work out for you, you'll just move on to the next single issue that you can label as some popular opinion. There are countless issues to bring up about the subject, and I brought up at least a few. But I never said anything like: "I will download this because of this".

And speaking of the money thing, I'm kind of wondering if five dollars is really that cheap. Sure, it's not a lot of money, but I can buy most of Louis C.K.'s DVDs for around fifteen bucks. Let's compare:

For fifteen dollars, I can get a physical copy of something. I can loan it to a friend or put it in a box, unwrapped for years and who knows, it might even be worth more sometime in the future. And even if it's not, I can still sell it if I get tired of it and maybe take a dollar or two off of the next DVD I buy. Shit, I can trade for a sandwich maybe!

I can't loan the digital copy to a friend and it's certainly not going to increase in value(it wouldn't matter anyway, because I can't sell it or trade it). And if anything happens and my computer crashes, the only way I could've prevented it's loss is by... making a digital copy. See the irony there?

Not to mention, a DVD involves hundreds if not thousands of people to make. All the people who produce the raw materials, the marketers, the people who manufacture the final product, the people who ship the final product and let's not forget the people who sell it. All those people take a bite of a measly fifteen bucks. To me, when you compare the two, the guy who sells a digital copy for five bucks and only has to pay the production crew(which the DVD people have to pay as well) and what? a few web techs? That guy's making out like a bandit if you ask me.

I know, maybe I don't make that strong of a case. But at least I know how to have a fucking conversation.

Death or dismemberment? Meh. (Death Talk Post)

Skeeve says...

I can't compete with you on the number of people I know who have been injured/died, but I do know one guy who has a similar hard luck story to your first one.

A Warrant Officer I used to work with was known as "Hard Luck Henderson" because he just couldn't get a break. While in Afghanistan, the LAV he was in was blown up. He survived with a concussion.

Shortly thereafter he was blown up again and received a concussion on top of his concussion.

A few weeks later, during a patrol through some fields of tall grass, he felt some pain in his foot and thought he had kicked something sharp. They get out of the grass and see that he has been bitten by a poisonous snake. So he gets flown to a hospital where the pump him full of anti-venom because they have no idea what kind of snake it was.

A few months later, at home in Canada, he is driving a truck down to an army exercise and he hits a coyote with his truck. This is normally not a big deal, but this coyote gets wrapped around the axle of the truck. Henderson gets out, begins to unwrap the coyote, and it bites him on the arm and wont let go. He had to strangle it with his bare hands.

So he gets to the exercise (where he has quite an important job to do) and refuses to see a doctor. The next morning his arm looks like a balloon so he is ordered to get it checked out and it is decided he needs to undergo the full rabies treatment (which is about as horrible as any medical treatment gets). He was alright in the end, but had one hell of a year.

Surprisingly, he's a pretty positive guy, hehe.

Two Kids Unwrap The Best Present Ever!

>> ^bareboards2:

What I find funny is your use of the word "merkin" as slang for American.
From Wiki: A merkin (first use 1617)[1] is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are nowadays used as decorative items or in film making.

>> ^Trancecoach:
Daddy's coming home in a box either way.

I thought that was darkly comic, certainly appeals to my English sense of humour. I imagine many merkins might not take it especially well...



LOL, this is SO going in the "You learn stg new..." talk.

^ouch, but sadly often true.

Someone needs their ass schooled in what the troop deployment to death ratio is. Even if you wanted to fudge numbers and list every single death over there as american (accept of course for the 10 million insurgents weve killed), it is a very very small number compared to the total number of troops we have sent over.


Even one death out of a million in such a meaningless war is one too many.
