Default Re: WHAT DEGENERATE GAMBLING STUFF HAVE YOU DONE LATELY

on my recent honeymoon, my new wife and I got into an argument on the beach about whether the saying is "crazy like a fox" (my guess), or "dumb like a fox" (her guess). the amount of the bet quickly grew, as did the level of trash talking. i have never seen her so sure of something that she was so completely wrong about.

if she wins, she gets $1k to spend on whatever she wants and doesnt have to consult me on it. if I win, i am to receive a series of sexual favors of my choice (not including normal marital relations) to be completed within the next month.

the bet was over the next day after not one person we asked had ever heard of "dumb as a fox" [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].


turns out that "dumb like a fox" is just a saying her dad made up and used semi frequently. thanks dad (in-law)!

DEGENRATE GAMBLING:

I am stuck $100 in online backgammon. I don't understand it. If backgammon is a game of skill, HOW COME I LOSE ALL THE TIME??

9-ball for an oz of chronic per game vs local dealer, $300 an oz, so I was playing for $300 a game. I know he gets his oz's for less than $300($250?), but I knew that I had a huge edge.

Played for 3 hours - won 1/2 lb.

told my girlfriend i was going to the gym in San Jose (a 20 minute drive) instead of the local one because i like their pool and sauna, and then stopped by Bay 101 for a few hours instead... when i left, i wet my hair in the bathroom to help the lie hold up...

and i wonder why i am becoming fat... damn you poker
