You want to feel insignificant and, oddly, at the same time significant?



Talk on your cell-phone much? You might not get Alzheimers.... Said the same thing about smoking at one time. Was it because all the smokers died before getting it, and all the teens talk on cell phones and all the older folks have difficulty finding the buttons and hearing the phones. Actually no.

George Costanza went deep at the World Series of Poker main event. Well, the actor that plays George Cosatanza, Jason Alexander did. Jason Alexander played himself playing George Costanza on this years Curb Your Enthusiasm and the character of Jason Alexander as played by Jason Alexander is slightly less likable than George and maybe just as manical and evil. Remember the Seinfled episode where George tested the mechanic on candy bars (they went to the car dealer)? Well, you can take that quiz right chere:

Jason Alexander first came to poker fame playing on Celebrity Poker. A few world series of pokers later and the guy is guaranteed camera time despite a pretty bare resume since Seinfeld. I'm not here to bash Jason Alexander, but I might suggest he head to poker school.

No mention of poker, Jason Alexander, or Alzheimers, or dad's that are proctologists... (warning a little graphic)



If that isn't graphic enough for you, here's Jason Segel? Who? Seen forgetting Sarah Marshall? Seen How I met your mother? He wouldn't stoop to exploiting his celeberity status for his own gain would he? Skip to the 2:00 mark unless you like long unnecessary introductions.

I walk to the car, try to metaphorically wipe the bird crap off my shoulders and contemplate how my bankroll got severely lightened on the day. I recall the fun hands where I got hurt, such as the one when I raised preflop and got a few callers. Flop was 882. I fire out an almost pot size bet and I get a caller. Turn is another 2. I make the same bet and get a call. River is 6 or so. I check, he checks. I show 99. Dealer is about to hand me the pot as he shows 7-2. He points to the deuce for her benefit and the turned full house. At first I think he's doing it for me rubbing it in a bit. My frustration is evident and I fire him a look, then I realize who is dealing, and see that she still almost swept me the pot. She of the 8 deals per 30 minutes and two mistakes per down. You know who she is. The dealer you are suprised to see every time you play there thinking she'd be fired. Still, I wanted to be angry at the dude as even though he wasn't showing me up he was destroying
