I don't have kids, my brother, sister, mom, dad, nieces and nephews live in different cities, and my wife has to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

I'll be on call... which means I have to sit around and wait for my phone to ring.

I lost my taste for the grotesque consumerism of the holidays years ago, so my wife and I now just spend all of our "christmas present money" on buying toys and clothes for kids that really need it on behalf of our family and friends.

So, no tree, no presents, no family, no turkey dinner... just me and 99,784,022,394,802,938 SNGs.

This is going to be the best Christmas ever.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Yah, I am staying on my college campus for Christmas except for the 4 days I am going home to see my folks. My goal is to play ~15k hands of SH NL and sevreal hundred SNG's between when my finals get over and new years.

It is going to be a merry Christmas.

Does anybody else see the irony of this man's situation?..He spends his workday convincing women that they should pay him to touch their "private parts". Then he spends his evenings convincing women that he should pay them to touch their "private parts" /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Irie,

I recommend getting some 'special lady friends' to come over in elven outfits and dance on your scrippa pole.

And put misletoe everywhere....

How can that end up being a bad Christmas?!? /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'm an ER doc - belive me when I say that doing pelvics on patients, no matter how young and goodlooking, is far from enjoyable...
or, to quote one of my partners......"I'll snort twice if I find truffles....."

Just this thread in general is what I meant. It was a (mostly lame) jab at how sociologically dysfunctional many poker players are.

Look I said it was lame joke ok? Mostly I was just keying on how many posts have something to do with some form of genitalia and how many avatars feature prodigious buttocks. And this image:

Sorry for no link. Here you go http://www.cardplayer.com/cpcollege/article.php?a_id=82&m_id=3.

I'd say #1, #3 and #4 are the only ones that actually gave me pause. But #2? My first thought was I could use a lot of that.
