peterbirksPlaintive cry from abusive college boy at $2-$4 table on Empire after a fish's three-outer came home on the river.
"Can't you see I wasn't giving you pot odds, you fucking dumbass!"
Well, er, no. He couldn't. That was the point.

Picked up the double live album "Weld" from Neil Young and Crazy Horse for £4.96 at Tesco's this morning. Man, that guy sure has released a lot of stuff. I just realized, I have about a dozen albums of his, but I still don't have "Harvest", even though I once had it on vinyl.
Also just out on CD is the epic Springsteen concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 1975, probably up there with Winterland 1978 and the Agora shows (1981?) as the one of his greatest recorded performances. Compare and contrast the opening track in 1975 (Thunderroad, piano, harmonica, voice) with the opening track of Stockholm 2004 (Promised Land, entire band). And, of course, Clarence was at the top if his form in 1975; something which, sadly, can no longer be said today. I'd forgotten how good "Lost In The Flood" could be. I was thrown back to my youth, remembering why I fell in love with Springsteen in the first place.

I see that the big Stars Sunday tournaments are attracting record numbers of entries each week (did it break 5,000 last week?) Who would have thought that there were that many high-stakes tournament players in the world?
Oh, I've just realized. There aren't.
