For the first time in 4 1/2 years....
I drove myself to the gas station and bought myself cigarettes. Yes, the gas station was next door to my house, and yes, i will probably do this at least once in the immediate future. But this time was special. I was in my own vehicle. Paid for in cash. Cash made by playing poker. It took a chunk of my bankroll, and i might have to drop to 2/4 again, but it was well worth it. More than anything else, these forums have made this possible. Thank you, everyone. Its easy to forget in the day to day grind that this community is a utopia for those who love this game we have chosen to become addicted to. Ok. Enough bullshit.
I also bought some whiskey. peace john nickle no drunk driving will occur, dont worry. Ive got a series to watch...

Re: For the first time in 4 1/2 years....
bison, ive found the best way to quit is to get someone you somewhat dislike, and bet them X amount of dollars that you can quit. It works better to make it go both ways and whomever gives first has to pay the other. Its usually good for a few months.
And welcome??? Ive been a smoker since day one... "I smoke. For those who dont like it, i suggest you take a look around the world in which we live in, and shutting the [censored] up. That, or, suffer a facial burn, the choice is yours. After all, this is america, the land of freedom. <to audience member> Hey man, can i bum a cigarette, im trying to quite buying...Thanks.... How much do you smoke? two packs a day?.... Pussy. I'm up to three *lighters* a day...." Bill Hicks. Possible the greatest comedian ever. peace john nickle

Your reading skills are slipping. I am bragging about buying a car from playing poker. Because you all helped me. And i love you for it. And whiskey. But not for the same reason.

One of the greatest
If he's not the greatest ever, he's in the top four, with the other four being Carlin, Prior, and Kinneson in any order you prefer.
He's certainly the most tragic early death in the business. If he was given another 30 years he might have ended up the best without argument. TRWIII
