How to Break Antonio of the Habit
#13141315 - 11/27/07 04:23 PM

I love Antonio Esfandiari, but like many here, I'm starting to feel like his recycled comments are getting a little bit old. So I'd like to start this thread to get some ideas as to how we can get Antonio to break the habit.

Here's my idea. If I were ever to sit next to him in a tournament (Not likely, but hey, I can dream), I'd regurgitate his comments times a thousand.

First hand delt. "Dr. Esfandiari, do you love poker?"

Second hand. "Do you love America Dr. Esfandiari?"

Third hand. "If your parents had never brought you to America, Dr. Esfandiari, what would you be doing right now?"

Fourth hand. "Please remember to gamble responsibly, Dr. Esfandiari."

Ad nauseum. I think he'd get the message at that point.

Anyone else have any ideas as to how to stop Antonio from making the same old comments over and over again?

He's probably watching himself now and realizing what we all are.

Yeah, this definitely warranted a new thread. It's not as if there was an Antonio Esfandiari thread already on the first page or anything.

Exactly. All the shows were taped a long time ago, and that is the way he was acting then. Obviously all the reactions will get to him at some point and he'll naturally change.

Unless he doesnt give a crap.

I think we just need to create some new one-liners for him to use to mix it up.

"I am not Persian I am Mexican. OLE!"

"Do You Handshake?"

"Phil Laak Lets Me Watch"

add your own.

"I could be humping Camels right now"
"I could be part of that boy band in Iran, DTA, "Death to America" boy band"
"I could be selling furniture with bombs right now"
"I could be playing poker with Abdul and our wager is our azzes, whoever wins gets to Brokeback Mountain the loser."

and finally,
"I could be in the desert walking with a donkey named Farha".

^^^ That really is great.

Antonio obviously has a ton of verbal crutches that he didnt know he had. But i hope after seeing all of them he just keeps saying them just to [censored] with us all.
