UGG

What the hell kind of boots are those? I keep getting spammed about the best buy on UGG boots. I haven’t tried to find out if they are real – who the hell cares with a name like that and since they are coming in as spam, which I hate, it makes me more so not want to find out about them…even if they are the kewlest of kewl, and the hottest thing on the market. They are branded as far as I’m concerned with GTF outta here.

I’m such a weird-tard about stupid things. Years ago Charmin used to run a stupid toilet paper commercial where Mr. Whiffle ran around and told people not to squeeze the Charmin – specifically women – or the woman was Mrs. Whiffle and was pooh-poohed by the store proprietor for always squeezing his damn toilet paper. Since then I’ve branded Charmin toilet paper with GTF outta here. I don’t believe I’ve ever purchased a roll of it, not in 30 years, due to that damn commercial. All I can say about the whole thing is UGG!

On the fun side of things, one of my long term doctors and I spend a bit of time chatting about poker when I have an appointment. He is not a regular at the game but he watches the WPT and has played a bit. He always tells me I’m his most famous patient since I have been on TV dealing the Aruba events. And he is fascinated with Clonie Gowan, not smitten or awestruck, just follows her playing on TV whenever he has time to tune in and she’s on. Katie Lindsay – one of my writers here at PokerWorks – is a good friend of Clonie. I met Katie and Clonie at the NBC heads-up championship recently held at Caesars Palace here in Vegas.

So what are friends for if you can’t use them? Seriously, think about it! I asked Katie to ask Clonie to autograph a picture for my doctor. The whole thing has been handled through email and sure enough, I got an envelope from Plano TX recently. That’s something I marvel over because Clonie doesn’t know me and she certainly didn’t have to go out of her way to do me a favor…but she did! NICE! Now I can’t decide if I want to wait for my next doctor’s appointment to take the prized photo in to him or just call his office and see if I can catch him for two minutes between patients to surprise him. What FUN! No UGG going on here!

And another fun thing, I’m playing in a poker tournament, right now, on PokerStars. It’s my fourth one today. I’m in the money now with a long ways to go before it becomes decent money. It’s also my third tournament of the day that I’ve finished in the money in. One of them found me in first place – Razz, no less. That report is coming on Chasing Chris Ferguson…probably tomorrow.

Let me leave you with the thought that you should always play poker and never buy Charmin Toilet paper or anything with UGG in it.
