YEAH PIKKIO

All this hostility over one of life's simple diversions reminds me of a song I'd like to share. It makes no sense, but the rest of this didn't either...

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

Since this is a thread for sharing songs, heres mine:

Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As a known memory
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Dont be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As a known memory
Memory ah
Memory ah
Memory ah

Come
Doused in mud
Cept in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend
A a friend
As a known memory ah
Memory ah
Memory ah
Memory ah

And I swear
That I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun

Memory ah
Memory ah
Memory ah
Memory ah {dont have a gun}

And I swear
That I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun
No I dont have a gun

{memory ah}
{memory ah}

how about this one?....
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Oh Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
(Fade out)

As a fan of Mr. Nod, and in awe of his sense of reason, I add the following counter-point:
DUET — LITTLE BUTTERCUP and CAPTAIN

BUT. Things are seldom what they seem,
Skim milk masquerades as cream;
Highlows pass as patent leathers;
Jackdaws strut in peacock's feathers.
CAPT. (puzzled). Very true,
So they do.
BUT. Black sheep dwell in every fold;
All that glitters is not gold;
Storks turn out to be but logs;
Bulls are but inflated frogs.
CAPT. (puzzled). So they be,
Frequentlee.
BUT. Drops the wind and stops the mill;
Turbot is ambitious brill;
Gild the farthing if you will,
Yet it is a farthing still.

"The Boss" is missing! so lets have something of Mr. Springsteen:

I come from down in the valley where mister when youre young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen
Wed ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
Wed go down to the river
And into the river wed dive
Oh down to the river wed ride

Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river wed dive
On down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the johnstown company
But lately there aint been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I dont remember, Mary acts like she dont care
But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks Id lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath shed take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it dont come true
Or is it something worse that sends me
Down to the river though I know the river is dry
Down to the river, my baby and i
Oh down to the river we ride

I agree with the remarks bashing the play. Most of the players are just here playing russian roulette but un til I find another site that's free I'll just have to deal with it. I even heard one of the top 3 say they new the percentages of poker. That was a very good joke. There are many of us who could take the big guns here at a table face to face with real money on the line. If these people who are ranked in the top 10 really think they are poker players..........they're fools. I guess it beats no game at all. We all just have to deal with it & remember what it really is. There are some good players who respect the game & the players you just have to search them out.

Ok let me add my thoughts on the subject...

Wait... what were we talking about?

Reminds me of a song I penned about myself back when I was on "The Tour"....

Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time.
Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'.

Oooooooh-hooooooo-hooooooo
Oooooooh-ooooooh-hoooooooo

Sit down, take a look at yourself.
Don't you want to be somebody?
Someday somebody's gonna see inside.
You have to face up, you can't run and hide.

Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time.
Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'.

Unlucky in love;
Least that's what they say.
He lost his head and he gambled his heart away.
He still keeps searching, though there's nothing left.
Staked his heart and lost.
Now he has to pay the cost.

Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
Beaten by the queen of hearts every time.
Have you heard about the lonesome loser?
He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'.

"It's okay", he smiles and says, though this loneliness is driving him crazy.
He don't show what goes on in his head, but if you watch very close you'll see it all.

Sit down, take a look at yourself.
Don't you want to be somebody?

Weird post's all. I've been playing for a while now and tend to agree with June - the style of play has changed majorly to the extend that there are way too many people who have multiple accounts and just constantly change accounts so they can just go all-in. In RL they would have been bankrupt in no time - but then again I suppose that's the thing of this site - it's all fake money and so some people don't care. I start to try and build up my poker abilities - no longer get to do that now, just get easy money off people who don't care to play properly - and get told I suck by people who rank consistently lower than myself, and win on a river. Gone are the starting days of good playing. BTW casaloko if u want to show us how good a play you think you are try and get to the top 100 without tilting and refilling. Then maybe you might get the respect of June and others who think like him.
