We tend to stay away from things that involve poker players in bathing suits and barbecues outside in 100 plus degree heat. Nevertheless we stopped by the World Series of Barbecue at the Golden Nugget pool last night, and despite the lack of hardcore drugs, ninja midgets and an Aristrocrat-style orgy (did we lose a war or something?) and the fact that it was hosted by the Lederererers and that old guy poker pro with the creepy moustache who was on an episode of The Cathouse, it wasn’t bad. We’re not sure if they gave out any awards during the night but if they did and came up with them while sitting on the can this morning they’d go something like:

• Best Karaoke Performance by a Drunk Canadian Who Doesn’t Suck as Bad as Nickelback Because Nothing Sucks as Bad as Nickelback: Gavin Smith with some six-year-old girl singing “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond
