Default Re: I Have a Better Question

Hands on a Harbody is not a porno at all, but rather a documentary that for some reason enjoys a wide following among New York hipsters.

It's about an endurance contest that takes place in Texas every year, the winner of which receives a brand new truck (i.e. 'hardbody'). The winner is he who lasts the longest with his hand on the truck (i.e. 'hands on'). Basically, ten people standing around with at least one hand on the truck at all times (there are provisions for bathroom breaks, etc.).

Going into the contest everyone has his strategy well laid out and a philosophy on why he will win ("I'm a Marine;" "No one over 30 can win" and so on). Kind of like the WSOP.

Point is people are willing to endure a lot worse than 7 days of poker in Las Vegas for a LOT less than a chance at $7.5M--which I suspect first place will pay.

I understand why the smaller events are more appealing to you, but what quixotic poker player WOULDN'T want to play the main event this year?
