You guys think telling people that you play poker is weird? At least poker has recently become widly popular and many people are actually impressed.

I'm an artist. Yeah fine arts.

The proper job description if tard wrangling. And like real tard wrangling, sometimes the online tards use their online super strength to kick your ass and take all your money.

I'd post his stories from the job, but they are basically like tard Mad Libs. Just insert the phrases "pulled down pants" "smashed in TV" "flung feces" "tard puddle" "exposed genitals" "took 10 people to hold down" "intense body odor" "attacked me with urine covered hands" and "scared young children" randomly into paragraphs and you'll get the same effect.

For example: "Last week I had to take this one tard to the grocery store, but after he SCARED YOUNG CHILDREN I noticed a TARD PUDDLE forming around his dirty shoes. As I tried to lead him out of the store he proceded to PULL DOWN HIS PANTS and EXPOSED HIS GENITALS to the shocked store. After driving him back to the home, I found all of the tards and my fellow wranglers sitting outside, and was informed that one of the tards had begun FLINGING FECES at the wall, and it took TEN PEOPLE TO HOLD HIM DOWN.

Now you try!

And I knew two people who did this for a living, (they didn't know each other.) so when someone looks at you funny for playing internet poker, you tell em "At least I'm not a tard wrangler" THAT'LL GAIN THEIR RESPECT!

On the right path though I think this version might be more accurate.

High risk to me is trying to beat the stock-market (for example).
Low risk to me is being adequately bankrolled to ride out the losing streaks against a bunch of drunken party-poker players.
