Ian Fleming is best known for being the author of the James Bond stories. Pretty much everyone knows that. Did you know he also wrote “Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang“? I’m not joking here. Having recently watched a documentary on the making of the Bond movies, I became more than a little curious about some of things I saw …
I am not Joan Rivers (thank God!) but in an effort to make the world more visually appealing, I am posting a list of what I consider a list of Fashion Horrors (and not the good-Lon-Chaney-kind either!) These fashion tragedies are for both men and women. The women’s faux pas are twice as nasty on …
NOTE: I originally wrote this in 2013, so all you non-Baptists out there can just settle down. Originally, this blog was an outlet for me to write non-politically correct stuff. I think I succeeded. I’ve been going through some my old stuff I wrote and I’m thinking “If I can’t remember it, I KNOW you …
The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas is one of the most complete, beautiful and imaginative resorts ever. Everyone should go at least once. But it helps if someone else is picking up the tab, because it is also one of the most expensive I have ever been to. I would like to …
The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas is one of the most beautiful themed resorts I have ever seen. I won’t ever go back. While the resort offers all you can imagine, the prices, hidden charges and underlying greed of the resort makes it almost painful to enjoy yourself. After 4 days, everyone in our …
Asheboro – The Asheboro Zoo announced that another gorilla is pregnant. If this is a successful birth, this will make an unprecedented 3 captive gorilla births in one year, from three different female gorillas. On a related note: I have alibis, witnesses and sworn affidavits that I have not been anywhere near Asheboro in over …
Only hours after a meteor (a fragment of an asteroid) exploded over Siberia with the force of 20 atomic bombs, an asteroid barely missed when passing by the Earth. A mere 17,000 miles away (in cosmic terms this is the equivalent of the width of an armpit hair) a 150 foot asteroid shot passed us …
1) ‘The US, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will apologize to the world for our ‘interference’ in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those ‘good ‘ole’ boys’, we will never ‘interfere’ again.
The Best Poker Room in the Caribbean, It is also the only island to spread a Pot Limit Omaha game, 6 tables of NL Hold Em. Full tables unlike St. Martin. Longer hours than anywhere else in the islands. If you are looking for an island to play poker, I heavily recommend the Holiday Inn Aruba.
Be mindful of collusion. In 2007, the Radisson left a bad taste in my mouth. There’s No Sleeping in Poker. Poker Tables at the Holiday Inn are jammed into a relatively small room. Tables at the Holiday Inn are jammed into a relatively small room. Poor room design, jammed tables, and the Aruban “whatever” business attitude toward all this make for a disruptive game.
First is the Bad Beat Jackpot, Eccentricities of Aruban Poker, Star Wars Cantina, Rake, you can straddle for ANY amount , limpers, don’t be subtle. The Bad Beat Loser gets 50%, the winner gets 25% and the remaining 25% is split up amongst ALL the PLAYERS in the entire room. Combine all those personalities and I expected a Wookie to sit down next to me in the 8 seat at any minute.
