Just had a small earthquake while I was sitting here working on my Rails app. A bit unsettling after all these years in California; it’s kinda weird when you’re sitting on the 3rd floor and it feels like a giant hand is rocking the building ever so slightly.
By the way, Scientist, I don’t know if you ever ended up watching the Firefly series on DVD, but I found something else you might be interested in. I’d heard lots of good stuff about the new Battlestar Galactica series on SciFi channel so I bought the miniseries on DVD. It’s pretty decent, and they actually tell a somewhat logical story given the background. I’d recommend picking up the miniseries DVD, and if you like it get the first season DVD later.
Finally, I had my Intuit review this week and got a promotion. I’m now a Senior Software Engineer, which is cool. It also just so happens that July 9th was my five year anniversary with Intuit. Five years ago roundabouts wwhazz, samahama, and rock chalk escorted me out of Madison and into California. It’s been a long, strange road whazzmaster. Thanks for being there with me…
whizz whazz
i watched the first disc of the firefly so far… i like it. i sometimes pause on battlestar glactica cause it looks like a well produced show, but i just dont understand what is going on or why i should care, so i constantly pass it by. i got no time for bullshit. luke, i say switch to PC for audio too. why not?
Well, like I said, hit that miniseries DVD. It starts at the start and if you don’t like it its only 3 hours long, no need to waste your time on a whole season of junk.
Zach congrats on the promo, I’m throughly impressed to be frieds with a senior software engineer and even more so impressed that my friend Stacy has nabbed herself a SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER. No really congrats, and WOW to the earthquake. I hope that while we are living in San Dog we never have to experience that no matter how small. Wwhazz and I snorkled it up in the La Jolla today- good time but the waves were enormous, someone had that wave machine on overhaul cause if you just stayed still in the water the waves would propel you faster than speeds you could swim. Also while trying to enter the water a larger than life wave knocked both of us on our asses and successfully took my top down to below the boobs, I covered them quickly but I am afraid that the families vacationing in the cove may have gotten more than they expected. HOLLLARIT!!
i propose a $20 heads up rematch tourney tonight. topless.
Belly will play but not without proof that you are topless.
uh… i play completely nude. since when is my word no good? you really think i would propose a topless competition and then back out and secretively keep my shirt on and get some cheap thrill that she let her nips air out? what sort of person could even enjoy that… i mean, you yourself are lying about it, so what part of your brain wouldn’t assume they are lying about it as well. look… i’ll be topless. asking for proof is poor etiquette.
20 omaha in 10 minutes. i am really going to try hard… my gut feeling that deviating from my standard plan is a mistake, but i want to see if i can force results. i was the #1 player yesterday and i’m burnt the fuck out. i got beat by a girl for a fold in my ben clip. only got a 3 pack of twinkies instead. today and for the next couple days i’m just doing tourneys. ring games are powerful narcotics. be careful.
I was typing for belly. I’m sure your word is good. Plus she loves showing her hooters, so I don’t know what she was even bitching about. I did a bunch of 1-2 limit today (lost 1.70) but I was really spot on. I think I may tank at 2-4 and up these days because I’m afraid to lose the money. Also, I’m back to killing the 20 Turbos. I’ve gotten first 3 of the last 4. Holllarit. Time for bed.
Any word from cal?
Also, anyone want to spend SummerSlam at my place? Aug 20th? Oneil, want a west coast birthday? Penny? Maddddddddddddddd? Hadley? Hulk Hogan? Mommy? Aunt Sue? Daddy? Aaron Moneypenny?
you know what, sign me up. barring of course i have marital plans or the plane ticket is over $400. i knew you were speaking for her, and i intended my tone to be directed at her, but it’s sort of muddled because i’m talking to her reading it as i say it to you reading it as well as the speaker to her boombox. the internet is an odd conversational medium. especially when cal is around. i bet he is still pooping out peanut butter. i’m chip leader in the 20 PLO8 at the hour break. i have 11.5k. 2nd has 6k. everyone is talking EXTRA shit today about how bad a player i am, even though i consciously didn’t make 3 plays that would have destroyed me that i normally would have done. i am fucking SICK at this game. like silence of the lambs evil genius type shit. people should really be seeking me out to stake me in bigger games. HOLLLLLLARIT. and belly, it is quite obvious you like to create conflict wherever possible… perhaps you are afraid i will beat you? $20… MINE.
i got 2nd. fucking 10k to 40k dog heads up… then 40k to 10k GOD… then 30:20 then 20:30 then 10:40 then i lose on 4 rivers in a row. fuck my cooch. i still think 2nd is impressive, but it’s a blow to my splean. i really am the greatest though.
bellgirl, i have concluded that perhaps you have been swindled one too many times in the past, and have over adjusted to be too cautious. too ease this, i will make the bold public declaration that i will never swindle you. now shuffle up, whip em out, and deal.
i’m just playin. it’s quite obvious you want to see me naked.
glad to hear you’re alive to enjoy your promotion. congrats!!!!!
hi! I’m writing from Slovenia! visiting my sister. i’m at some internet cafe paying by the second so i’ll make this short. Marathon went well finished 3:09:31 good enough for 75th place! ok slovenia cal out.
great time cal. if san francisco was attacked by horsemen, you could run to oakland to warn them. HOLLLLLLARIT
i’m ref counting you scientist. fer sheezy.
lawman is in canada fishing his ass off in a 6-day testosterone fest with my uncles. but i’m going to venture to say, i’m sure he’s interested in a west coast visit. we’re riding the poor train right now but since it’s the big 3-0 for him maybe we can just charge it up and call it a good bday gift.
I attended a barbeque of a fellow Wisconsin ex-pat last weekend. It was fun on a bun. LUCHADOR! made an appearence.
Hey gang: do we want to do summerslam in Dago or a Vegas trip or what. I want to get on this. Possible Madd, lawman and whazzmaster. Any others? What do we want to do? I’m not too excited for summerslam, but that would change if I had some pals over. Halllibute!
wwhazz call me, love you lovely wife belly
what does anyone in the healthcare industry think about this? basically imagine an asshole doctor… should he be punished? also note, this is coming out of foxnews, and this is exactly the kind of conservative bullshit they want you to think about. they believe there is no room for sarcasm, honesty or motivation through humiliation. the solution is simple… if the doctor tells you to buy a gun and shoot yourself…. buy a gun… and shoot HIM. fuck you fox news. fuck you whiney patient, fuck you asshole doctor. and i’m out. HALLLIBUTE
if i had a clothing line, the signature logo would be 3 L’s.
Yo madd, I won that last one. LLL. DD.
bling bling.
what do you think about acting SUPER dUPER whaCKED OUT crazy during an earthquake in a building over 3 stories? i say ANYTHING goes. provide me with a counter example?
chipe leader in the 20 plo8 with 6 left. back to back like MJ. more MJ than you think.
4 left
31,577…. 17,387…. 8,990…. 2,046. seriously, why should i have to apply for government genius grants… isn’t it OBVioUS? bah.
fucking 3rd. like 35 to 15 to 5 with 3 left. and i lose. and get 3rd. unbeeleebabable.
woww w/ 2 double u’s…it looks like anyone can be on you tube nowadays.
exciting evening chez rumsey. lots ‘o bats. my dad sleeps with a tennis racket under his bed just for nights like this. so far it’s tim rumsey 2, bats 0. he killed #1 swatting at it while holding onto my dog’s collar with the other hand so that the little guy doesn’t eat the flying rat and get rabies. bat #2 just got the old tennis swing about 10 seconds ago at 2:40am. i’ve spent half the night on the floor ducking and covering. i’m a baby when it comes to bats.
as you should be. bats are fucked up.
chip leader in the nightly 20 plo8 with 5 left… AGAIN. 3 nights in a row. seriously, i’m the best. it’s lonely at the top.
I like bats as long as they are outside.
4 left…. 30k, 10k, 5k, 2k…. i really hope i don’t get unlucky again
no no, outside they are worse, because inside there is shit everywhere hitting the sonar, so you don’t stand out much… outside, you are the only shit, and you’re round and warm head looks like food so they buzz you constantly. i would through tennis balls in the air when bats were swarming and the fuckers would swoop from everywhere to attack it in the air. bats are fucked up.
23, 17, 10 at the 2 hour break.
through tennis balls? throw.
i got 1st!
thanks for the good vibes, cal. i felt them.
wow, now i’m going to be at final table in the 400 man turbo. only 2 tourneys i’ve played today. i’m fucking en firego.
starting the table in 3rd in the cutoff.
monster chip leader with 8 left
2nd with 6 left… dude in 2nd took out 3rd and 4th. WOW.
i’m chipleader with 3 left
holy shit i just won. i am not joking.
final hand, T4s. the QUINTESENTIAL (SP?) 60:40 dog. my pride of prides, and how did i win? flopped 2 pair OF COURSE. HOlllLLLLARIT>
congrats madd, can i have some money?
$20 if you can beat me heads up. topless.
Ug. Just played one of the big 20$ turbos on party. I was in the mix with 12K and the button until they moved me to the BB and swiped 3K and then moved me to UTG one hand later where I folded and then payed the BB again had 3 all ins move on it and then I called all in in my SB with A8 and lost to K10. Ug… sititng pretty on the button 12 off the money and then rape. 12K in blinds in 6 hands. Thanks, dick wads. In other new, I went to a party with steven last night. It was kewl. There was some raytown hustla there but we only talked for 2 seconds. He knew penny from tennis, I guess they used to carry each others balls.
exact opposite happened to me… 3k-6k blinds i have 40k UTG, get moves to cut off, then when i’m UTG again, i get moved between the small blind and button and have to sit one hand out, and then played the next in the cutoff. great payday on a complete luckbox
ok i just woke up… schedule is getting even weirder. the nightly 20 plo8 is about to start. my streak is 2nd, 3rd, 1st. sadly, the next iteration is obviously last, so instead of going forward, i’m going to try and freeze time so i always get first. HOLLllllariT.
river river river got 24th. sigh.
orchestra doing score over huge projection of classic games, all of which i owned and played. can’t really think of a reason why i should even not like this, but i HATE it. i can’t really even explain why. poor execution of potential i guess is the closest i can come. oh well, maybe you all will like it. doubt it though. cause it’s pointless. i think it’s how the pointlessness harmonizes with the poor execution of potential is where the true suckiness really lies.
so i’m sittin here working on my rails app when all of a sudden, i ejaculated, and then realized that working on my rails app was a euphamism for masturbating.
it was like watching an opponent fold preflop heads up 10 hands in a row…. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!@#%)(*#!%
“Just had a small earthquake while I was sitting here working on my Rails app.” hahaha, whole new meaning now…. ZING! you were totally yankin it at work.
i think the perceived american hatred of the french, and concurrent hatred of the french by american sheep was set up by the new totalitarian bush republican government. the french are democratic and evolutionary… like what this country is SUPPOSED to stand for. also, i think arby’s new ALL WHITE chicken sandwiches are delicious. but seriously arbys… grant me this… your old chicken sandwiches were FUCKING DISGUSTING. like “wow i should get a refund this sandwich is so sucky”. but whatever. arbys, post your consumer number here so i can call in and get my $3 back. HOLLLARIT

anybody out there tonight, hey is stacy still there? how was the weekend?
wow pretty quiet around this place, where is everyone, sleepy land? I wish i were there.
yo BG, you know that gray toy you brought quincy? the head survived and he carries it around and throws it around all day. i think he thinks it’s his friend.
glad to know madd, has quincy named his friend, does he take it for walks, does he sleep with it? I miss Quince, does he HOLLLARIT with his new friend?
yes he does sleep with it. doesn’t walk with it and if he did name it i have no way of translating it. qunce ALWAYS HOLLLARIT
right now he is laying on the floor in the living room, he set the head down like 6″ in front of him, facing him, and he is just staring at it. it’s really bizarre. i was just reading an article that used the word niggardly… bold.
latest toms goes to the mayor very very good.
you want to be a friend? take her!
I would love a west coast trip for my birthday, but unfortunately, I am on the brink of being placed in debtor’s prison after the wedding, honeymoon, and fishing trip.
7 left in the 20 plo8…. i have 25k. 2nd has 8, and most have 1 or 3. its sick.
28 6 4 4 2 1… hilarious. i am HOGAN
i won of course.
o’neil, i can loan you money.
heres the deal, i know you’re tight on cash, so paying me back is just silly. instead you have to spend the entire weekend walking up to every stranger we cross and yelling “YOU DONT KNOW *ME*”. then after they start ignoring you, you have to yell “HOLLLLLLLLLLLLARIT”. let me know if you mind redeyes or aisle seats.
Yeah, Tom Goes to the Mayor was great. It broke my heart last week when they misused Gibbons, but they made up for it this week when they shot him off that deer. I go deer hunting everynight… jesus. The Sauce House? I WANT TO GO TO THAT PLACE. And the wolf child. I like this move into the tabloids. First Jeffy and now the wolf child. I don’t even know how to grade this second season. All of the new episodes have sucked hard except two, but those two have been off the charts. I guess I still go A.
Madd and whazzmaster. Let us settle this summerslam question tonight Live! at 9:00! Raw is war! God is love! Whazz is Zaa!
whoa, it’s 9:10… but what 9:00 did you even mean? time zones, homie. even still, am i late if i just read it now? TOO late? hello? anyone still here? is there any pizza left? cal? HOLLLLLlARIT!
yeah, that sauce house hit close as fuck to home on wwhazz meter. i almost cringed a little, like SnAP, they gunnin on you and your affinity with sauce selection. then gibbons… it was like they knew everything about you, and why you hated the show, and then did a special show just for you that was off the charts…. but how many people are so keen on sauce restaurants and gibbons? needless to say i was drunk and a few times had to think, is this really happening? which is always a sign of a GREAT show, or a BAD dream, or sometimes bad shows and great dreams.
yo cal, whats up wit yo girl? i heard she was hangin with ALL those grafitti guys.
Yo MADDDDDDDDDDDDDD: turn your phone on.
Ug… 51st in the long kiss. Top 30 pay. Got into a dickfight with AK when I had 99 and you know… went bust. Turn your phone on, girldick.
hey wwhazz how’s your night going?
wwhazz are you in your underwear watching RAW?
Mike and Kelly are over watching UFC.
Has anyone ever seen Indecent Proposal? Have you ever paid any attention to the gambling? It will melt your mind. These motherfuckers stroll into Vegas and turn a small slot win into a 25K craps run. Not. Bad. But they are in a 50K hole due to a bad real estate deal. So what do they do? Take the 25K up to their room, screw on top of it, crunch the numbers and conclude that at this rate they will make the other 25K in less than two hours. He really crunches the number too. Puts on his glasses, makes a few notes with pen and paper. Bawk, bawk what? You play slots, roulette and craps to the tune of 25K in one hour and assume that you can continue at that pace? Hell, flush the used rubber and get back down there. At this rate you could own God before the sun comes up. I’m turning it off. It is off.
Just hit the 588 man turbo on party for 2nd. 370. Kewl.
Ug… did not turn it off. One thing though: the writer paints with very broad naturalistic strokes. When shit goes down for this common man, it really goes down.
Yo whazzmaster, do you ever just dream about Frank Norriss? LIke what if Mcteague, and Annixter where in that poker game with Vandover and the dummy?
Yo belly, call me. I never went to sleep so I’ll pick you up from work.
Okay… ktk here. You won’t believe what happened last night out in the sticks. I was feeding the bambino at about 10:00 and all the lights were out except for the dining room light which was on dim. All of a sudden I see Aeden walk into the dining room with a freakin’MOUSE in his mouth. He walked into the living room looking proud as hell, despite my yelling “Aeden, stop!,” and then dropped the mouse on the area rug. He then looked at me, beaming with country-cat pride, sat by his mouse, and batted at it a couple times. Then he laid down next to it. I ran upstairs and said to k-car, “we have an incident,” and he came down and picked up the mouse with a paper towel and did something with it. In the mean time, Aeden thought that the mouse must have ran away and got up to scour the house for the little rodent. There are several morals to this story: (1)–City cats can make it in the country; (2)–cats don’t listen when you tell them not to bring a mouse carcas into the living room; (3)–if someone throws out a perfectly good rodent, it’s always a good idea to look for another one; and (4)–if someone tells you that there is an incident downstairs, it might be better to fake sleep and let them deal with it.
I keep telling myself that this was the only mouse in our old farmhouse, but as I am typing this, k-car is cleaning and re-organizing the basement (the suspected origin of said mouse).
That’s all, folks. I’ll keep you posted on country life and Aeden’s mouse tally.
Oh, I think that Brian threw the mouse away outside, but as I wasn’t paying attention, I can’t be sure. Maybe he batted it around for a while and then ate it??? Mmmm, no, I think the threw it out…
where IS my phone?
fun madd scientist fact: i hate phones.
i also love mice.
hey everyone, sorry again for the no posting. i’ll get to it tonight.
the i’m gonna post post. the worst of all.
hey guys… 20 plo8… 9 left… guess which place i’m in? yup. yesterday i got 2nd in one of them… 2nd is too painful to even brag about, and i didn’t even make more than that yurbo finish (congrats), so whatever. but i’m still PLO8 champ of the world about to reign fear on all those that would oppose me.
22k, 4k, 4k, 4k, 3k, 1k…. i mean… come on… it isn’t even fair.
should i sell out and write a book? i could seriously summerize my entire strategy and nearly ANY situation that would come up in like 50 pages. so i say on every other page, a picture of me doing something whacky.
the title… “MADD SCIENTIST PRESENTS: POT LIMIT OMAHA HI/LO SPLIT 8 QUALIFIER” the subtitle… “how to beat this silly silly game”. if anyone in whazz land will front me $10,000… i’ll write the book and give you the rights to publish. i’ll also do 50 whacky things and let you photograph me… you know… for the book.
damn, down to 17.5. lost 3 in a row.
don’t be scurred… 18.5 workin back
i sort of have a pet/wildlife story as well… yesterday we took Q for a walk around the lake like a mile away… we ran into one of those tiny little tree toads… like no more than a cm in any dimension, but the complexity of those little guys is crazy… it’s like… you’re the size of a flea, but you’re like a fully functional toad. just like a big toad. way to go little guy. then quincy fuckin stomped it. GO QUincy! hOLLLARIT!
25 10 5 now with 3 left.
20 12 8
31,720 vs 8,780… gl sir. i will end you now.
BOOM. and i win again. people. i am not joking. i have a strange gift. the gift of domination. HOLLllllARIT
