    I think Lukie realized how much his thread was really starting to suck and decided to make like he had some great covert reason to get rid of it again.

    ok, Heres a random story.

    I'm working at a Major Metropolitan Hospital, in CT, In the Emergency Departement. ( I'm an outside contractor installing computer networks)
    when I walk by this room , and hear my name called out by some dude.
    So I walk back and it was this guy I used to work with 6 years ago. He fell off some scaffolding 15ft high and landed on his head!!! He had an Egg on his head the size of a goose egg/small orange. Luckily he was ok!!
    That is all.
    3 3 3 I'm only half evil.

    My random contribution: I live in an apartment building where each floor has it's laundry room with 2 washers and dryers each. You're supposed to clean your own lint trap when you're done with the dryer.

    So when my shits in the dryer one day I came back like maybe 20-30 minutes after it's done. Some has taken my stuff and put it on top of the dryer. That's cool, I mean my fault I was late and everything and there's only two dryers so whatever. I go to put my stuff in the laundry basket and they had taken the fucking lint out of the trap, crumpled it into a ball, and put it on my clothes as if to say "this is for making my lazy ass have to take 5 seconds out of my day to clean your lint trap.

    I say fuck that, tear it back up into pieces and throw it into the dryer with their clothes. Then of course it occurs to me what a stupid idea that is. The lint trap is just going to do it's job and catch it all again anyway. So I said fuck it and took the garbage can that's in the room and emptied it into there. Foolish neighbors, you can't beat me!

    fuckin awsome. Same idea but I was at a walmart and I was waiting with my signal on at a parking spot that someone was getting in their car. I stayed far enough back so they could get out and as they were pulling out another car went around me on the left and made them hit the breaks while backing out. they went past the car and stopped. As the car backed out and was in front of me, teh third car squeezed in to the spot. I wound down my window and started ripping the guy a new one. That was my spot, f'n asshole move the car. You know the routine. He tells me " I didn't see your name on it" and starts to walk into the store. You can guess what happened next. I pull away. Yep. Pulled away!! but I came back, 2 minutes later I pulled down the next row, stopped across from the car and got out. Went into my back seat, opened my work bag adn pulled my work knife. I use it to pierce steel pails at work so I can pour. I wonder what it cost him to buy 3 tires. I left one just to make him wonder why, and carved my name on the hood.

    "This is JYM's spot."

    Went to walmart the next day.

    would you do anything if you seen it. But I don't think so, the hoods of two rows of cars face each other. I was standing between them. Besides I didn't spend any time working on penmanship.

    Copy and pasted from my operation thread, fun little moment from the casino this weekend:

    Setup hand to drama:
    Hippie guy turns a straight on the turn also giving ATM two pair. The get it all in on the turn and on the river ATM fills up. Hippie guy is extremely pissed and is berating the guy nonstop.

    VERY NEXT HAND:
    ATM raises it up to $15, hippie guy immediately reraises to $50. Girl behind him whos not really important just calls. It gets back to ATM and he reraises to $100 and Hippie guy goes all in. I wasnt really sure what to put hippie guy on because i didnt know if this was just tilt coming through or what. Girl behind hippie calls and ATM thinks about it and says he has to call.

    Now us three (Me, mgoblue, and shippy_ship) being obnoxious at the table convince the dealer to make them roll their cards pf. (The dealer was fucking really tight) ATM shows AK, Hippie guy shows KK and girl behind shows AJ sooooted. Hippie guy then begins to talk shit about how bad his call was and how he was taking all of his money. Us still being obnoxious we convice the dealer to lag the flop and he complies.

    Dealer begins to deal the flop and extremely slowly turns the cards over, with a slight smirk. Next thing i hear from hippie, "ACE IN THE FUCKING WINDOW! EVERY GOD DAMN TIME!!" along with slamming his chips into the pot and almost nailing his wife in the face upon getting up. Dealer then takes at least 30 seconds to deal turn and river which were both blanks, and hippie guy storms off.

    About 5 minutes later hippie guy comes back, leans right into ATMs face and says "If you think your so good why dont we step outside and settle this like real men." ATM: "I never said i was good, im just playin cards" Hippie: Well if you think your so God damn good why dont we go heads up right now right over there!"

    It was classic

    so jym, you are one of those douchey people who follows people down the aisle as they push their carts to their car, so you can get their space and avoid walking 50 extra feet?

    You should put your name in it. You did create after all. Plus, your name sells on this site.

    I used to sometimes do that type of vindictive shit, but playing poker I learned to control my emotions and not get upset when bad things happen, and I've noticed that affecting me in real life too. If someone took my parking spot or dumped lint on my clothes I'm pretty sure I'd just go about my business and not do anything about it. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad.

    For example, about a year ago my little sister who was 13 at the time, choked on some food and she could barely breathe. Naturally my mom and dad were freaking out, but I didn't even flinch and I helped her do a Heimlich and cough up the food. I guess it's good that I stayed calm and could help, but it kind of bothered me that I was so emotionless when something potentially really bad was happening to someone I care about.

    Has anyone else noticed themselves becoming a lot more emotionally indifferent to what's going on around them, since they started playing poker?

    basically

    but we still needed a thread of randomness! I figured gabe's 'not a worthless thread' would take over, but he one upped that by making this one!

    what it do. I like this.

    So I'm hanging out at my favorite bar last week. It's a very tough biker type bar. There's at least one major fight a night, sometimes beer bottles, glass are involved. This guy we'll call "Big Jim", is getting rowdy, and takes a disliking to me. This is weird, because I'm extremely likeable, to the point where his friends even like me better than his plan to fucking own me as quick as possible.

    I'm not a tiny guy, but one thing is for sure. This guy is going to fuck me up if he gets a hold of me. Eventually he tries to charge at me, but another guy we'll call "tough as nails vietnam vet" steps in front of him. Big Jim tries to punch war hero, but war hero gets out of the way, which leaves Jim and I standing face to face. That's when his big meaty fist connected with my left eye, and I went down. Then he popped me in the back of the skull twice, and I teetered on the brink of unconsciousness. My eye is still a little black and blue.

    The ironic coolness of this story, is during this week of eye injury healing, I've met, gotten to know, and eventually had sex with the most beautiful woman I've ever dated. Weird.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    I had a girl tell me how sexy it was hearing me talk about my poker games the other day. She spoiled it slightly by then saying she had no idea what the hell I was talking about but all the terms made it sound dead glamorous.

    So I'm in Pizza hut with a good friend and we're flirting with the cute waitress that is waiting on us. The place is empty, and she's hanging around us shootin the shit while we wait for our pizza. Phone rings or something and she goes to the back for a couple minutes. When she comes back she is mock-crying and she says that the guys in the back are scared of her.

    I think to say "Well, it must be your pretty face!!", but instead I say "Well, it must be your face!!"

    Still haven't lived that one down...

    So i went to a party with my boys last week. Since i hate talking to strangers and dont like most ppl here anyway i was in "dont approach me"-mode wearing a black truckercap, a black hoodie and shades occasionally. I managed to talk to noone expect the guys i entered the party with until 3am when a girl that lives in our appartment building came over and started talking to me "bla bla bla"...
    we live in the same house, so we went home together at 6am, 3 drunken donks, lady bla bla and her blonde fat friend. we had a final beer in front of our house, when the girl said, she wants to see my flat and asked me to go inside with her. i showed her my flat and we did some adult-stuff. at half past 8 she suddenly got into her clothes and said:
    "I suppose my boyfriend would be mad, when i spend the night/morning here" and left.
