c'mon, I mean who isn't a clear and present danger? Let's look at the words and find out. Clear. Well, they don't mean clear like water now do they. So they must mean visible, right? Shit we've got cameras everywhere, sattelites, spy planes (btw, how can they call them spy planes when...

Mason Malmuth co-authored with Sklansky on some, and he has some great esay collections of his own. Sklansky on Poker Sklansky's Hold'Em for Advanced Players* Sklansky's Thoery of Poker By the time you read those you'll probably have found some other authors, but if not ask again and...

I suspect human nature will be revealed in this thread.

Imagine yourself as the leader of a nation, and imagine being posed with the following dillemma. You are told by your 'potential disasters department' that your nation is in danger of attack. Estimates state that within five years your country will be subject to numerous campaigns of...

Nice post. If it were socially acceptable or remotelly possible to win that argument, I would make that argument. Of course, if it were socially acceptable, I would drape myself in velvet - but who wouldn't?

A valid point, especially when one considers the reaction to prohibition in the last century. And yet, laws so fervently opposed they are not necessarily forgotten. Instead, it seems the powers that be take a more moderate and drawn out approach to the abolishment of a given right. You may...

When you all get done debating, what do you have to show for it? A good time? Are you aiming to achieve something tangible here? This is not a "what's the fucking point?" post. I would like to know what anyone here does with their understanding of politics, military, human nature...

NO BABAK!, that's far too simple. A much better answer would include pyramid eyes, colorful charts, incoherent babbling, aliens, bush-cheney junta conspiracies, and a sun flare. Oh yeah: and waves, definitely a wave, definitely...definitely a wave... gotta go to KMart

Would you care to garnish that claim with some evidence?

That's a good point TM, no matter what they say you shouldn't listen or believe anything anyhow. It's patently obvious that any purveyor of news has a reason for telling you, and it is rarely, if ever, for you own edification. There is however, a very entertaining plot here and I think this is...

c'mon harry, have a mint julep

Thankyou for assuring me there is atleast one sane person remaining in this forsaken race.

You're losing your touch buddy, I already heard the rats thing on NPR.

Good question. Firstly, I never asterisked any hand pre-flop. For the most part I play by the book for the pocket, and any variations (eg. not raising AA) are fairly well-calculated to the type of players at the table. I am very curious about this. I feel that "gut" is not really...

I started putting For Sale signs in all my neighbors front lawns. They looked confused, so I told 'em: don't worry I am just borrowing your house on margin so I can buy it back at a lower price.:)

No offense, but the breadth of this mentality is exactly why I am looking for housing prices to undergo a correction. Although, in general, I do agree.

I once thought the song "99 bottles of bear on the wall..." was humorous...no more. I, and 7 friends, attempted to clear a carefully arranged bookshelf of 99 bottles of bear. The goal: 3 hours. Here is how it went: 0 - 0.5 hours: 3 funnels each, all is well at 119 OLR (99 - 3*8 = 75)...

You could. I'd probably say 0% in 15 years. But then again with inflation you'd need a couple years to make that 0% (effectively negative) positive again. So maybe you're not far off. Maybe I should really open up and give advice no one would follow - buy a gold index fund and hold it for...

Whoa! And, winning the hearts and minds of every ET member to boot!
