  1. I played at Aria last Thursday and Sunday night.  As of Sunday the plexi was still up but more and more twitter reports are showing them coming down so it shouldn't be long before its back to normal.  I was shocked at how little table talk there was.  It was the most boring 12 hours of poker I have ever played.  The only words ever spoken are "once or twice?"

  2. Oh trust me I rarely see the sun come up.  I woke up to pee one morning about 5:30 and I figured the wind laid pretty good so I went out to see if anything was in the lights.  Not much but a got damn dolphin scared the shit out of me.  Came up for air right in my light coming towards me with that big as "splewww" out its blow hole.  So freaking loud when there is not another sound in the air.  Went back to bed but never really slept so went back down after dawn and caught that one on the first cast.  I usually have two or three blowups at dusk but they are usually so small they can't get the top dog in their mouth.  

    So you are right across from the fire house?  That was a shock to see driving out the next morning.

    Seconded!

    A couple of places in Houston/Galveston try to replicate Dragos but none can seem to pull it off just right.  Actually the one place that has come the closest is an Italian restaurant in Angleton named Giovannies.  They only have them in season on Thursday nights until they run out.  I think they may have changed ownership within the last couple of years though so they may not do it anymore.

    And never realized that was Lenny playing in the background until about 20 years later.

     

     

    To many quotes to name an official “best” but before the dorks go into Jakes house.  AMH rings the doorbell and then turns to them and say’s “and be polite to his parents”

  5. It makes me sick thinking about it but that fucking Darren Rovell tweets a new auction record it seems like everyday to remind me but I HAD 3 of these.

    Sophomore in high school I would buy a pack of these twice a week or so.  Was more into baseball cards but these came out and since I was playing basketball thought it would be cool to have.  Probably ended up with 3 or 4 complete sets.  After he retired and I was a few years out of college with not much money to speak of I figured they were reaching peak value.  Sold all three for $500/piece.  Pretty good return for maybe a $50 investment .  They are now routinely going for $200k, $300k, $400k in auctions.  Of course those prices are for grades of 10 but I no doubt had at least 8's.  I had them in sleeves at least a year or two after purchase and then put into screw down cases once they started getting valuable.  Still got all the rest of the cards though 😂  if anyone wants an Hakeem,  Barkley or Bird.
