Hunting season here starts on Sunday, so the occasional burst of gunfire over the next month isn't going to be helping anyone's nerves.

One of my childhood heroes, Canadian hockey player Bobby Orr, has endorsed Trump. Devastating.

Madonna is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but these guys aren't, go figure.

This is good. Too bad GA is so full of rednecks who will vote still for him.

Another point is that for me, poker went hand in hand with drinking and if I were younger at the time, cocaine and cigarettes. Not pretty.

I jumped on the Texas Hold 'em bandwagon what must be about 13 years ago now. I played a lot of poker, but mostly online. I was bartending at a swanky bar in Boston making good money for the profession. I worked with guys who also liked to play poker, and we'd have a weekly game after work on Saturday that would go as late as 8AM Sunday morning. I'd also play charity games around town, and occasionally drive to Foxwoods for the casino experience. But mostly I played online, after work. I'd slam back margaritas and freewheel at my computer screen until the crack of dawn. It was all extremely fun. But I'm glad the fever broke because I could have taken a wrong turn trying to chase money. I think the last time I went to Foxwoods I watched some young guy totally implode trying to chase back lost money and I did not want it to happen to me. I smartened up. But I must admit to how much fun it was. That said, I don't miss it at all. If anyone is in the grip of a gambling addiction, just keep trying to limit the damage to your wallet, your family, yourself. Not worth losing what you love to the thrill of poker.

Recently seen Parasite and Baby Driver. Both overrated.

I've been leaning on alcohol lately more than I care to admit. 3 drinks every night, sometimes 4 or 5. Almost always beer or wine. I like to tell myself that because I rarely drink liquor, I'm not a problem drinker. I also eat one cannabis edible at night. The combined effect is pleasing, but ultimately stupefying and it makes me lazy. I only read news websites and not books. I don't practice the guitar which I told myself I'd do during this period. I stay up way too late and sleep late. I'm going to try to get a handle on all of it after the election, but I worry about what might happen here post-election and maybe i'll want to keep drinking and getting high. I'm finding it hard to have any hope about anything.

The average voter here has no idea who Nigel Farage is

This closed super league proposal/plan is a total outrage. The best response would be to just black them out, don't watch the games, don't subscribe to whatever network has broadcasting rights to it. In no time fans of the "super" clubs will lose interest because it will just be a redundant series of scrimmages devoid of meaning. Promotion/Relegation is the heartbeat of football leagues. This will be nothing more than a glorified MLS.

Themselves, I suppose, and a sizable segment of their fanbase, most likely. It's not easy to sack a club legend like Parker.

The Fulham board will be under immense pressure to keep their golden boy at the helm.

I you want a higher rating in Yahoo Fantasy, I'd try to win as many games as possible, because losing will drop your rating. Not that it really matters, though! None of this matters!

I've seen several videos of that Times Sq. brawl and I didn't notice any "Proud Boys" Not that it particularly matters. The Jews for Trump caravan knew that they were going to antagonize people driving through Manhattan. They were looking for a fight, IMO.

I had Burrow on the bench who scored 82.97 points and started Newton who only scored 9.43, and I still won. Not pretty, but I'll take the W

Trump only leading in Texas within the margin of error. No wonder their R Governor mandated just ONE SINGLE ballot drop box per county. If Texas stays red this election, it will be the last time it does so. Unless they keep suppressing the vote and rigging results.

True. But right now you can consider me an enthusiastic Democrat.

I voted today. If Gideon beats Susan Collins here and all the other New England Dems win, the entire region will be Blue.

This is well done and might just sway some of the last remaining fence sitters

Isn't this a Tom Wolfe novel?

Notice how the authors German immigrant grandparents bought a Midwestern farmhouse during WW2 while Japanese Americans were sent to prison camps.

She has an iMDB page- She's from Surrey.

Actually, she might be an Aussie, I can't tell. Either way, she's a racist lunatic from Hell
