Dear Bison,

During ADHOC weekend, I decided to mix things up. Rather than playing .5/1 like the other nits, I made my move. I played 4 tables of 5/10 6-max. I called it ADSHOC. In my last three hours, I had to make an emergency (unavoidable) grocery run. It took half an hour, so I added an extra half hour at the end. I succeeded, logged 9200 hands, and finished +39 BB (+79 BB after rakeback). I was awake for 10 hours before I started the challenge, and another 4 after.

My question is - are you proud or ashamed of me? And if the former, which ADHOC rank do I deserve?

Signed,
Bruno

Dear Soma,

Essentially, adding the half hour is dumb. None of the hands from that time would count. It's a 24 consecutive hour challenge.

Of course, I never played enough HUSH to know what decent totals are for 6-max games, so even if you did have enough hands after 23.5 hours, there's no way of knowing how many hands that would be.

Set your hand on fire.

Dear Cup,

I know where you're coming from. I don't have a brand to recommend, but I would highly recommend walking into an upscale men's store and cornering a salesperson with questions about socks for a good half an hour. Make it clear that you're only after socks, and only after the finest. Then insist on trying them on before buying.

Dear Bison,

Why am I a goddamned snowflake?

I don't feel unique.

Hey Cup, you want socks that have their seam (typically at the end, on the tips of your toes) hand-stitched for maximum comfort. Pantherella is a good brand for this.

Dear Bison,

Have people told you that you more than slightly resemble the narrator from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer claymation specials?

Love,
Dave

Dear Dave,

This guy? http://www.toyrocket.com/products/RU....html!!b_id=17

No. But I did get a lot of crap for looking like Ralphy from A Christmas Story when I was in 7th grade.

Dear Shajen,

You're all goddamned snowflakes. I just like to treat most of you with a wide, even contempt.
