I had plans to sit down and add more character and happenings to Tango yesterday. The hours have managed to escape, filled with life and people, places to go, and things to do. And it’s almost Monday morning.
On Thursday, I posted about a ‘post thief’ that Iggy had sent an email about. I visited the page a few hours after Iggy’s email and it displayed ‘this page cannot be displayed’. The following day I received an IM from Wayne, the page was up and filled with meanness. The owner of the page could have simply apologized and I would feel kindly towards him…he must be a ‘him’ because he invited some of us ‘to choke on his cock’. But instead of an apology, the owner stated that he had been running an aggregator and it picked up posts that might be of interest but somehow the aggregator went ahead and posted the posts, as if the owner was completely innocent of the entire affair and had unfortunately been saddled with a run away aggregator that had developed a mind of its own and did what ‘it’ wanted to do.
So to those of us that screamed and yelled and had a fit about it, I’m assuming Iggy was one of the most vocal, the owner acted indifferent, belligerent, and hostile about the whole affair. I hate that! Because the owner did something that caused a consequence he didn’t like, he snarls and bites back at the world he’s trying to enter into…the poker world of blogging and interesting posts.
Damn that Renegade Aggregator!
Well since yesterday, late in the evening and through the night, and still now, the page is once again not there. The old ‘this page cannot be displayed’ is back. I say cheers to Iggy for standing up for us in the blogging hemisphere of Cyber – and BOOOO to the owner of the Renegade Aggregator. Mr. Owner – just go ahead, apologize, and take responsibility for your actions, and then step into our world.

That beautiful truck I ordered about six weeks ago arrived. I spent a lot of my hours on Friday settling into the time it would take to get it out of the dealership parking lot and into my possession…Kee-rist! Forever!!! It won’t fit in my garage. I took this picture of Viv standing next to it up at Red Rock Canyon just to show the actual size of it. And no, she’s not a midget.
Of course part of my time over the weekend was spent c-r-u-i-s-i-n-g! What fun!

The Saturday night card party kicked off with a half 7 stud, half 7 stud 8, tourney. It must have been fun. I played a short part of one of the stud sessions and let my nephew play the rest of it. I spent most of my night sitting out by the chimenea, enjoying the fire and the company of whomever wasn’t playing or was taking a break. My nephew, Chad, is learning to play poker. Of course he’s learning on my dime during the tournaments but I had more fun hanging out with a brew and stoking the fire – so it was a fair trade. Then we played Big Deuce. Next week I’m opting for a break in the action and won’t have any festivities at my house. The following week – possibly a Pan game again. That’s how we originally started, Pan, and now we’ve picked up new players so a Pan lesson is in the offing. I’m tired of Big Deuce. Pan will be a nice change.

I play poker online – frequently. I’m still flabbergasted at the chat at times. Tonight I was playing in a single table $50+5 buy-in NLH Tourney. (It was my third tourney) and after looking at dead cards for the last three tables, when the blinds were $25-50, I raised it to$100 UTG with K-10D. The Button raised it $100, the BB called, and I raised it $740 more all-in. The Button folded. The BB took forever to decide to call and I had him covered by a small amount. He showed A-8 S and won the pot. But he couldn’t be happy with that, he chatted, “Fn broads! Just because they live in Vegas they think they know how to play.”
Retardo to the max! I made it through the BB and won the pot and typed back at him, “Whiner”.
I didn’t make it through the SB but got to see his reply, “How can I be whining when I beat you?”
Unfortunately Party doesn’t allow observer chat right now (or they are having a problem with it) so I couldn’t throw some pepper into his open nostrils.
One of the greatest promos I’ve found going on right now, in the online map, is TitanPoker. I am going to play in the $2000 PokerWorks/TitanPoker free roll on November 19th. The only requirement is a $20 deposit and there are a lot of other great deposit bonuses going on besides that one. Don’t be lame – get game, and I’ll see you in the tournament on the 19th.
