Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of updates this last week, but I was out in Lake Tahoe doing some skiing and gambling. As luck would have it, I injured myself a little bit skiing, but all is well. Actually it was a great trip. I had a few great days of skiing until I took a spill on a black diamond run. Fortunately though, I got to play a lot of poker when I could no longer ski :)
I’m not sure anyone here plays Texas Hold’em, but it is the finest game ever created by man. I think even God himself would approve ;) I played a few cash 2-3 no limit games and a few 3-6 limit as well. But my favorite time was spent at the tournaments. I played a 20-man tournament and got busted out real quick, but I faired well on a grueling $35 100-man tournament, placing around 15th.
Obviously this isn’t a very religious subject, but I like to think of this site as a social network too :) Are there any poker players here? I’m hoping that there are a few of you… probably not Muslim though ;) This thread is also open to my skiing readers as well. What places have you been skiing at and what are your favorites? I’m pretty sure no religion has a problem with skiing so lemme know :)
Rest assured though, I have not forgotten about my duties with respects to this site. I will have a whole slew of material to cover next week and look forward to the ensuing discussions. Once again I apologize for the lack of material, but this was a much needed vacation.
Sincerely,
gasmonso

Skiing and poker in the same vacation?
Surely the tiny omniscient Baby Jesus himself has shone his grace upon thee.
Welcome back.

Played a lot of poker about 2 years ago, and still do. Then started working for a company that make/market gambling games, and realised just where all the money *really* goes :) Nowdays I play it a bit for fun, but as my monthly game involves 3 professionals, it can be tough :)

well, gambling AND apres-skiing? you’re going to hell for sure now. :P
Nice to have known you, I’d watch out for lightning on sunny days if I were you.

Hey gas did you drink too?
Because then you would have a triple play of sinfulness!

Good point jew_boy! I did indeed drink much booze. Actually I didn’t drink too much while playing poker, but I sure did the rest of the time.
Wonder if that will be a factor at the pearly gates :)

Heaven’s gates are made of rolled, polished regurgitated oister sand? Cool.

why does heaven have gates? surely it is an trans-dimensional place, thus not needing gates. Or perhaps the gates are like the ones in Stargate? allowing us to “go outside the galaxy”
And being pearly does not mean made of pearls(from searching with define:pearly in google):
* of a white the color of pearls
* chopper: informal terms for a human `tooth’

So maybe it is made of teeth. It would surely explain what the tooth fairy is doing with all of those teeth!

Or, more likely, it’s made of vanilla ice cream.
Yay!

Truly the stuff of intellectuals ;)
Welcome back Gasmonso, sounds like you had a great time, good stuff!

Thats nothing. Last week I played poker at a table where instead of chips, you bet with handfulls of cocaine. I was drinking Wild Turkey, the waitresses were trannies and the cigarette girl only had filterless. The dealers were midgets and had to walk around the table to deal. Ohh and the table was in the middle of a merry go round.
Snap son!
