Drud Report

Talk is cheap, stable boy.

First Lady

For the record - I never want to be known as a tough ass son of a bitch. Nor do I want to be given the female equivalent of the title. I'll still gladly win, of course.

Slim

For the record, I never want to be referred to as a stable boy with a sailor on leave in the same sentence.

Storm

Noted.

I know you want to be the tough s.o.b. for next week Drud but you're going to have to wait. Unless you do/say something really tough. If anyone needs info on what's tough just watch Pibb work, the apotheosis of a tough guy.

Anyway, who knows where my weekly tough guy rants will take us...somewhere that tough guys live forever, like Valhalla for instance.

Von Sandman

Tough Guys do not use the word "apotheosis."

Ever.

The Canadian Mint

Salvadore Dali did. He cut off his ear. That's pretty tough in my books. If Storm cuts off his ear when he gets beat, I'm off the tour.

The MOst

Dali and Van Gogh both cut their ears off? Why do painters cut their ears off? Hey, I'm gonna paint these flowers but I've got all this angst so I think I'll cut off my ear. It will be a symbolic gesture.

What do brilliant poker players cut off? Ear is to painting as ______ is to poker....pinky toe?....nose?.....left buttock? Hey, I'm Howard Lederer, check me out with my half ass. Hey guys, it's me Richie Rich. I was feeling it the other day at Hustler so I cut off my left ass. Check me out!

Drud Report

Dali didn't cut off his ear. That was Van Gogh only.

Wikipedia:
"[Dali]He died of heart failure at Figueres on January 23, 1989 at the age of 84, and he is buried in the crypt of his Teatro Museo in Figueres." See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD

I would say a poker player should cut off the thumb on the hand he handles his cards with, which would make it damn near impossible to look at hole cards.

jamie

i think van gogh cutting his ear off may have something to do with his love affair with absinthe and thujone, as opposed to a symbolic gesture of artist angst. as for drud's "thumb-cutting" comment, i'm not sure a painter would need his ear as much as a card player would need his thumbs. though i guess william rockwell proved me wrong on that point as well.

Slim

is this the Toughest Guy in Town thread?

the cooler

more like Nerdiest Guy in Town thread

jamie

i was labeled nerdiest guy in town long ago, i'm not gonna lose sleep over it.

Ivan

Now that the Cooler has posted here, it can officially be a nerdy thread.

hardy har har

Clayton

btw Van Gogh didn't die from cutting his ear off...and he was on absynth...makes it much easier...

Tough guys cut their ear off sober!

The Most

So it's settled?

Dali= earful
Van Gogh= earless but stoned, i.e., not tough
Cooler= nerd?
Jamie= nerdiest?
Brent= tough???

Can you hear paintings? No. Can you smell poker? Only if Gerritt is involved. Therefore, ear is to painting as nose is to poker.

the cooler

Cooler = nerd = Never Ending Radical Dude

Slim

can't wait for absinthe to become the Official Beverage of the 4th Street Poker Tour.

justin

ok, i'll bring the absinthe...

Storm

Cooler = nerd = Never Ending Radical Dude

With this post Cooler you have guaranteed that you will never be the toughest guy in town.

the cooler

^^ I was afraid of that

jamie

i will hopefully be in prague in july...if so, i will certainly donate a bottle of the good absinthe to any of those in need on the following thursday night. none of this watered down USA absinthe with 1/10 the hallucinogen.

Al

Can the 4th Street winner toast with absinthe at the end of the night with the First Couple? You know, the equivalent of that awkward Budweiser Select toast that concludes each WPT event? The one where Vince Van Patten looks at the beer and wishes it were either a martini or an underage hooker?

jamie

that should certainly be the victory picture from now on...and until we have some Absinthe on Tour, then maybe we can do it with Patron

Slim

what kind of chemist are you if you can't just whip up some absinthe for tonight's game?
