In a recent interview with Gaming Intelligence, Laurent Tapie said that he hopes to have a re-branded Full Tilt Poker launched by March 1. Ok then. There’s a better chance of Layne Flack repaying his debt...
This post has absolutely nothing to do with poker, but we were recently introduced to the show Impractical Jokers on TruTV.
The show is about four lifelong friends who like to fuck with each other. They set up various pranks and there’s sort of a loser every show who doesn’t complete the most aforementioned pranks.
The above clip has some pure gold. Particularly go to about the 4:20 mark (wassup Pauly!) and watch the mall caricature segment.
In completely unrelated news, Full Tilt still isn’t operational and no one has received any money back from them. Maybe they’re playing an impractical joke on us all.
Yeah, there are some obvious jokes, but let's see how creative you can be. Caption this...
Been awhile since we’ve done a Caption This.
The above photo is of Bill Perkins at the 2012 PCA High Rollers (photo credit: Neil Stoddart and Poker News). Clearly, there are some obvious jokes you could make, but let’s see how creative you can be.
We’ll select one winner from the Comments for a free subscription to Wicked Chops Insider.
The Walking Dead: best drama on TV or overhyped crap? We debate and dicuss...and give T-Dogg his due.
Just getting Part II of our podcast up. No poker here. 100% discussing and debating The Walking Dead.
We’re joined by an esteemed panel, including Jason Newitt, Dave “F-Train” Behr, Jeff Holsey, and EntitiesChops and Colin.
If you were a fan of the show, you’ll like the debate. We discuss problems with the show, the differences between the show and the comic, and the unfortunate underdevelopment of everyone’s favorite character, T-Dogg.
It’s so inexplicably weird and random that it’s kind of awesome.
For whatever reason, whenever PIUS HEINZ won a hand, his German supporters in the crowd began singing “Na na na na na na na na now, Pius Heinz, Pius Pius Heinz” to the tune of KC & the Sunshine Band‘s “Baby Give it Up.” It happened, oh, maybe 100 times over the past few days.
So for us and all of the other poker media–the song is embedded in our head and likely will be for awhile.
It’s not like this song was popular the year when PIUS HEINZ was born. It came out about a decade before he was conceived. And as far as we know, it’s not like this song is the German equivalent of say, “Don’t Stop Believing” for us. Or that “Baby Give it Up” sounds anything like “PIUS HEINZ.” It’s…just…random.
So enjoy the song one more time for the 2011 WSOP Main Event winner. Off to iTunes to download it now. Dammit.
As regular readers of our site know, we love the Maury Povich DNA paternity test shows. Riveting TV. We think these shows should be in prime-time. Just as quality television as Mad Men, Community, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Walking Dead and American Idol.
And as you know, of all of the potential fathers who were not the father, Andrew (here) is by far and away our favorite.
However, Andrew now has a challenger to his throne.
Meet Isaac (above video).
The one minute and forty seconds of this video is so captivating, we’d confidently stack it up again almost any one minute and forty seconds of video ever produced. You’ll be glued. We’re so impressed with it, in fact, we breakdown all key elements of the video after the jump.
