taken out

It was a case of going out in style.

Being on the short stack last night, I thought I caught a lucky break when the turn revealed a full house for me. Sixes on queens. So I tried to play as wisely as I could, check raising and all the babble that comes with trapping an opponent. E, however, wouldn’t have none of it, and fought till the end. He called my all-in move easily, and I still thought I had the game won.

“O, show of hands.”

“Fuck.”

E had a full house as well. Sixes on kings.

Damnit.

There should be a law where people shouldn’t be allowed to buy CDs before they hit 25 years old. Society should at least allow people to mature first before starting their music collection. In general, humans should be saved from the embarrassment of having Limp Bizkit lined up next to the Led Zeppelin albums on their CD racks. Or Chumbawamba next to the Clash.

But if you’re 25 and still prefer bubblegum pop, then, that’s not my problem anymore.
