I live in Illinois (I know, I know), but at least I'm downstate. My very favorite pass time is Thoroughbred racing, with golf second, and Polly Ticks third. So I may be "out-wonked" here, but that's OK. Maybe it will be a learning experience.
Ummm, let's see, what else? I turn 60 in less than a month. *Yay! I've succeeded at life for 60 big ones!* ::whoohoo::
I've been a Hot Air regular for a couple of years, but I think I'm banned :'( and I don't know why. ::thinking::
I've been in contact with Ed at the blog, but nothing is resolved yet. I'm very confused as to what is the deal.
I'm headed down to Keeneland Race Track in Lexington during by B-day week for some revelry ::beertoast:: and some horsey gambling ::pimp::.
Yes, I'm an evil sinner in the eyes of some, but I think I'm cool and likeable. *Self-promotion? You betcha!*

No big deal on the ponies. I play cards when I have the time and money.
How did you stumble upon us and can you invite others?

Welcome to the forum Predator. Dive in!

Howdy trapeze, I linked to this site via a post from itsnotaboutme at Hot Air. I figure if I can't play there, I'll move to a new game. Still baffled about that, but not much I can do. I'm trying to get word to some of my buds there that I've apparently been canned, so they'll know why I've vanished. I don't have any email exchanges with them, and I'm not the Facebook type, so it's tough to get word to them.
I used to play a little blackjack but it's been a while. I stick to the ponies these days.

Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to some discussions. Just feeling my way around to get the flavor of the place. It's new terrain for me, and I don't want to step on a mine. *boom*

Very few mines *boom* here. We try to avoid flaming other members for not endorsing our particular candidate of choice, or posting unhappy information about one they favor. Or picking on the use of particular words, or "tone". You go ahead and express yourself otherwise and you'll be fine.

I suck at gambling - too conservative I guess ::laughonfloor::
Anyway....welcome!

Welcome aboard and post away.

I spent 4 days in Vegas last week, and gambled two of them. We managed to stem the bleeding to a mere $320 out of a $700 gambling budget. Mrs. IDP likes Black Jack, and she's damn good at it - her mom used to be a dealer back in the day, so she knows how to play it right. She won a modest sum.
I get bored with Black Jack, but the real card games are too high stakes and intense for me, so I wound up playing Three-card Poker - a house game, I know. But I did OK - held my own the first day, up a nice couple-hundo for a while before coming back down to earth and breaking about even after about 5 or 6 hours straight. But day two was punishing. Lost my ass then.
The way I look at it, I planned on spending $700 and didn't spend $380 of it. And I had tons of fun playing cards, and jabbering with dealers and players alike. The few nice hands were worth it.
And if you've been to Vegas and haven't see "Ka" at the MGM, see it. It was absolutely incredible.

...again, welcome predator. Just an FYI, we have a "Predator Don" here. Shouldn't be a problem. We usually call him Don. But just in case somebody calls you Don, you'll know why.

Welcome predator. Have fun in the forums.
My use of predator comes from my love of hockey and the Nashville Predators.

Btw, I am whacking them right now on the local lakes. Eating the rattle trap and crankbait.

Our ice just finally went out once and for all a few days ago. Severely early, but I'll take it. Bass doesn't open until late May, so it's Crappie time.

Welcome, Predator! Pull up a chair and stay a while.

He's an Illinois resident and they're having their primary today. Hope he pops back in at some point with some info.

Yes, I'm an evil sinner in the eyes of some ....
Which means you'll fit right in !

I use predator because I love the concept of "pursue and devour." Like I said--evil. ::evil:: *hope this shows up where I mean it to--still learning how to navigate my way around here*

Pandora, turnout in my precinct was very, very low. About 11% or 12%. I think a lot of people here have a hard time getting too excited about this right now. A lot of us (especially in the down state areas) want to beat Teh Won, but we know that thanks to Chicago, it's going to be nigh impossible to take this state from him in November.

Eyes in front = predator.
Curiously, those PETA types have eyes in front.
Must be a mental problem of some sort.
-
My state (Washington) chose to save money by not running a primary election this year and instead had caucuses. Surprisingly, the turnout was much larger than anticipated (to the point where several locations turned people away because they couldn't accommodate the overflow).
We still ended up with mittens.

Mutation, maybe?

Sometimes being conservative when gambling can be a plus. Gamblers who constantly chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow often get a pot, but it ain't full of gold.
BTW--Alphabet Soup was the name of a Thoroughbred that won nearly $3 million during his career. A striking, long-striding gray. In 24 starts he had 10 wins, three seconds, and six thirds. His biggest win was in the 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic. He now stands at stud in Saratoga Springs, NY.
-
I hear that people get a rush gambling. I don't know if it is true or not because I don't. So I don't. I would never interfere with someone gambling - as a matter of fact when my folks were more mobile they used to go to Vegas from time to time on the senior junkets. They always had a blast and I was happy for them.
Oh, and thanks for the anecdote - I just knew that there was a reason for choosing that moniker ;)

"Stands stud"? Oh, good grief! Don't tell him that; there'll be no living with him. ::unknowncomic::

LOL, Pandora! They know already! I visited Claiborne Farm in Paris, KY back in 2000. Normally breeding season starts around February, and these guys can't read a calendar. But they are creatures of habit, and they know that cold weather means it's time for some hot, sweaty, horsey-love. ;D
Well it was in November when I was down there, and it was already getting cool. Those boys were starting to get pretty feisty.
Like the line in Lord of the Rings, when the Witch-King says, "Do not stand between a nasgul and it's prey." Same thing applies in that situation--do not stand between a stallion and his..."date."

Where da phillies at?! ;D

Nice job on the double post, predator--ya rookie! ::facepalm::

No problem. I fix.
You can do that yourself next time. In the upper right corner, at the top of your posts, you'll see "Quote" "Modify" "Remove".
Do I need to tell you which one to use to remove a duplicate post? ::exitstageleft::

Huh?

BTW--I got 'em back the next day. It was easily settled. Primarily it was Ed protecting the integrity of the blog (which I completely understand and respect0 until he got a chance to review the situation and discuss with me.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic information I was looking for this info for my mission.
