Mr. DNA

Yeah, I've heard of his 'little green book' or something. Maybe I have that wrong.He seems like a nice guy, although when the very good 'amateur' player Juhan Helppi played him and won (in Aruba I think), Phil was a little bit condescending, throwing water over himself, as if to say, "There's no way this guy should be beating me". I thought that that was a bit disrespectful. I'm glad Juhan took his *** to church!

This might sound ridiculous, but who is Phil Gordon? I'm British, and I've seen him on a few TV shows here and there, but how, if he's not a player, did he end up being such a recognisable name in the poker world?

I love how Daniel's blogs can go from super-serious affairs about God and love, and then a week later he's winding us up with some little made-up stories. Daniel is a talented guy, not just in a poker sense. I don't want to sound too sucky-uppy here, but this is why I keep returning to his blog. It's very entertaining.

I don't know how anyone could possibly complain after the sheer comedy gold that was Daniel's mother demanding that Dexter "roll that spliff". My sides are still aching.btw, that weed looked totally real. You got a pot habit there, Danny boy?

Au Contraire, he'll be missing out on the single greatest comedic performance from an old Greek lady in the history of the internet. "Roll that spliff!" Gets me every time!

Hey Daniel, I just had to write to say that I have rarely laughed as much in my entire life, after watching your little Jamaican skit there. The sketch was funny in general, but the thing that had me uncontrollably rolling around was your Mother's hilarious deadpan performance. When she demanded you, "roll that spliff!", in her best mock-Jamaican accent near the beginning, it was one of the single most endearing and simultaneously hysterical moments in comedic history. I've just e-mailed the web-page to all my friends, and made sure everyone that I know is made aware of this most spectacular o

Okay, you got me there, Balloon guy, Sean of the Dead was indeed fantastic. But that other post was highly amusing in its own mentally challenged way.

I refuse to take part in this charade.

Ah, so you're one of those bourbon supping hicks then? ;)I do not dish out insults and generally hang around internet forums for nothing. I am genuinely shocked and a bit unnerved by the horrible misinformation that you Americans are being served concerning global warming. Like one's faith in a deity, I can see that this isn't something that I will be able to simply rationally convince you of. I just hope when Bush gets out the road your country will take the matter a tad more seriously. If my country had been doing the kind of cover up job that yours has been doing, I'm sure I would be saying

Who cares what a bunch of poker players think? Surely the only opinions that count are those of the international lobby of scientists who recently announced that unless we drastically cut emissions then the climate crisis will become irreversably exacerbated. It's not a case of, "lol, what'll happen"? We know what'll happen if we don't act. Get informed you dolt.

In fact, having read the literary equivalent of acute irritable bowel syndrome from the likes of you and countless other misinformed Americans on these forums, my consciousness has been well and truly raised concerning how little you clueless yanks know. I can just imagine Balloon man now: "As long as there's cold beer in the fridge and a game on the TV, who cares about "global whatisname"? We're American! We drive fast cars! It's our God-given right to pump more pollutants into the atmosphere than is safely permitted! You're not gonna stop us, you whiny, cheese eating surrender monkeys!"

Well Mr. T, congratulations on giving me the biggest laugh of the decade. Really, I was on the floor a minute ago, holding my aching sides. Thanks a lot.

and.. It was the last bit of the second quote that riled the me the most. Balloon guy, master of subtlety and all around fair-minded fellow, didn't exactly cover himself in glory when he decided that I must be gay and had just broken up with my boyfriend- how else could I be apparently trying to defend gay people? I'm not gay and I'm not trying to defend anyone. I just want to know what "desires for social change" homosexuals have that Balloon guy is so adverse to.

Thankfully he didn't simply abuse me, but also made some inaccurate statements concerning the level of crime here in Britain, allowing me to completely and utterly debunk his fallacious ramblings with a quick google (always a good tactic against the mentally challenged). But yeah, telling him to just go away isn't a bad tactic either.

I think that we should act, but not for the reasons you state. That's like believing in God "just in case" he's real and you want to avoid hell. If we want to do something to save the environment, we do it not because it "might" help, we do it because there is an overwhelming abundance of evidence to suggest that our failure to do anything will be catastrophic.
