Mix Bag 7/14

- Not that you care, but the World Series of Poker $10000 World Championship is about to start Day 7. The 6000+ player field has whittled down to just 64 and the remaining players are beginning to see the proverbial light at the end of tunnel, the final table. Although a handful of "name" players are still in contention, all eyes are focused on one man, Phil Ivey. Anybody who knows anything about poker will tell you Phil Ivey is basically god. Since the beginning of the so-called poker boom, Phil Ivey has been the closest thing there can be to consensus best player in the world. If he can pull off a win here, there won't be anything left to debate. I could go on and on, but there are still two days of poker left before the final table is set. Here's hoping I have a lot more to say about Phil Ivey at that time.

- It seems the Ukranian government is not the biggest fan of pornography. I don't have much to say about this except for WTF!? I love the loophole provided by the "for medical purposes" clause. Yeah... you see, uh... I need to masturbate because... I explode if I don't? Remind to leave my laptop at home if I ever go to Ukraine.

- The NFL Over/Unders came out today. Hooray gambling! I haven't had time to look over all of them, but I will confidently say the Denver Broncos will not win 8 games. Hmm, my friends are totally going to Vegas in two days. I might have to put my money where my mouth is on this one.

- I don't have too much else on my mind. Being in LA, there are roughly 36 billion adds for G.I Joe right now. I love how painfully obvious it is that this movie will be the flop of the year. Don't believe me? Check out the trailer at the link below. $50 says Marlon Wayans is stuck with the comic relief black stereotype role. He might even have a catch phrase such as "Dy-No-Mite!" or some modern day equivalent. I'd also be willing to take a sizable loan from a gangster to bet that Dennis Quaid completely phones it in.
