Well I was going to come on and say that I had the damn thing in the bag until some doofus doubled waffles up to let him back in the game.

As always the doofus was me..

4 handed and I have a healthy lead fueled by 5 or 6 KO's and plenty of recockulous beats.

OK, so is IGGY in vegas this weekend?

LINKY



We are looking for height-challenged female(s) (as in midget, dwarf, munchkin, little person, just don't know the correct non-offensive terminology) to help run our fantasy football draft. We will be 10 males in a suite at the Mandalay Bay drafting for four hours on August 23th starting sometime in the late afternoon.

Your duties will be to make sure none of us run out of frosty beverages, to keep track of players taken on an oversized draft board (step stool included), and to wrestle under a glass table while either partially clothed or not clothed at all (this is why we would prefer more than one of you). Bonus points if you know something about football, know how to mix drinks, and enjoy making sure everyone is having a good time. We promise we will not degrade you by using your head for a coaster, nor will we expect any special favors as we value professionalism over anything.

Last year when I posted this ad we received an offer from a female who simply had no legs, which I determined to be cheating. So please, only true little people apply.

If interested, please respond by Friday. And don't worry about bringing anything as we will supply beverages, glass table, and rainbow with pot of gold.

Unfortunately we can not meet in Vegas for my fantasy football league. Join ANYWAY!

Weekend Wrapup

Hey there kiddles!

I haven't pumped one of these out in a while, so what the hell.

Friday night was my monthly game in the hood. I had a slight scare when I couldn't get into the clubhouse at first. Something was fishy with our 'awesome' new card key system and no one could get in. I called the wife, since she is on the board and she came up and tried to get into the hide-a-key, but that wasn't working either. Finally she had the bright idea of getting a key fob from the lifeguard and it worked flawlessly.

We got the $20 tourney started around 8:30 and played down to 2 players who split. Butch came down to show the n'hood donks how disciplined tight play can win. Even though my 56c sucked out on his KK when I was getting short.

We followed that up with a 1/1 $100 max rotation of OH/8 and NLH. I completely obliterated the table and ended +300 after dropping some cash in the donk wild card games that JewFro likes to play.

Saturday morning came early as the wife had to go take a test and I was working on about 5 hours of sleep and a 12 pack of beer. YAY. MasterP had a baseball tryout for the travel baseball team. His first at bat he got plunked in the left elbow, and that pretty much killed his tryout. He gutted through pitching (not well) for an inning and made it to bat for another try, in ovbious pain.

I'm not sure how these coaches evaluate 9-10 year old talent...I'm really glad I don't have to. regardless of weather he makes the travel team, he'll be signed up for Fall Ball. The kid has an insatiable thurst for playing any sports and to my great satisfaction he is a good ball player and loves watching it too.

We had the Olympics on for the a couple hours when we got home, and he is just amazed at all of it, its really cool to see him so jazzed about these sports. He has a deep appreciation for how good all these atheletes are and really wants to be the best athelete he can.

We spent the rest of the day at the pool as the neighborhood had a luau. There were no hula girls, no roast pig (or poi), and no damn pina colada's or anything. lame
The higlight of the festivities was the dunk tank woo hoo!

Saturday night we finished off by watching a movie at the baseball field. Its all for the kids, you know. We watched Nim's island, which was about cute and stupid enough to make me puke.

Sunday afternoon was spent watching more Olympics and going to spend all my poker winnings on school crap for the kids. They went back to school this AM, putting me back on the early schedule until June. Good times.

PS - Don't forget to sign up for the pickem and head to head leagues before the season starts. If I get more interest in the H2H league I can push back the draft if need be. It is currenlty set for 8/21 at 9:30 PM.
