100 Oreos in an Hour?!

I went out to a club in Houston called Rich's with my buddy Justin last night. He told me about this prop bet in which someone thinks they can eat 100 Oreos in one hour and keep it down (don't vomit) for one hour following. My initial reaction was like no way anyone could do that.

Justin got an idea for a way to approach girls by saying something like, "so my friend and I have a bet that he can't eat 100 Oreos in one hour and hold it down for an hour following. Do you think it can be done?"

I approached probably 4-7 girls last night with that line, and all of them said, "yea, I think it could be done."

WTF?!?! Am I just horrible at handicapping binge-eating prop bets or something?!?

After researching Oreo nutrition facts, I hearby have lost all respect for the average female Houstonian club-goer's handicapping abilities.

My gut-reaction that this 100 Oreo Challenge is nearly impossible to complete seems correct. There are 5,300 calories in 100 Oreos. That's about two days worth of food for most people. I'll fade anyone who thinks they can do it in a single hour anytime, anywhere!

New Living Room Decoration

Ever stumble upon something for sale on the internet and think, "zomg I want that!!" I just had one of those moments when I saw this Lifesize Cardboard John McCain Standup.

While trying to figure out where this would look best, I figured I'd better order two of them just to keep my options open.

...And Proud Of It!

While Googling my name (hey... who doesn't?), I found this pretty funny blog entry from the WSOP Main Event. Apparently, Wicked Chops Poker who was blogging to see who would be the Longest Lasting Ginger at the WSOP.

I take great pride in that my ginger hair, sunglasses, and track jacket were good enough for me to be dubbed the "Super Ginger" of the WSOP. Hey... it's better than nothing!

The Leach List

Rich Muny, a poker player and member of the Poker Players Alliance board of directors, created a handy little gift for the poker world: a list of Congressmen and Senators up for re-election in 2008 who have a record of voting against the interests of poker players.

Muny named the list after former Congressman Jim Leach who lost his re-election bid for the House in 2006, quite possibly as a result of his outspoken support for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

If you're an American poker player, check to see if any Congressmen from your district or Senators from your State made their way onto the Leach List. If they're worth two shits in a diarrhea storm at their job as a legislator, I'm sure they'll spend a couple of seconds scanning an email from you that states why you'll be voting against them in November.
