Even better:

This was my favorite quote:

Greater Zionsville Area Youth Ministries recently added "intentions to play poker" to firearms and illegal drugs on its "forbidden" list that students must sign before attending a retreat.

This is good too:

Ken Winters, a professor at the University of Minnesota and an expert on adolescent gambling, said parents should look for warning signs of gambling addiction by asking these questions:
• Does my child spend a lot of time thinking and strategizing about poker when he or she isn't playing?

If it were my child, I'd be more concerned if he were playing regularly and the answer to the above was "no" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Matt Wood, 15, shuffled his chips like his favorite professional poker player, Dutch Boyd. Instead of cigars, some of them played with pretzel logs hanging out of their mouths.

I love this part of every "kids playing poker" article. As if they would steal cars and kick dogs if they didn't play poker. I never played poker when I was a kid and I didn't get into trouble.

It's easily one of the easiest justifications a kid can give to adults.

I can't get past the first photo. I'm gonna try again . . .

"Oh yeah we got trouble, right here in River City, with a Capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool."

Funny how the more they say the times are different, they seem to basically stay the same . . .
