I finally gave in

[PokerBob]

I bought an iPod. I had been considering it, and almost bought one from Bicyclekick but he decided to keep it which was fine with me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be cut off from the rest of the table, and I hadn't owned a set of "headphones" since I was in high school over 15 years ago. ([censored] am I old). I wasn't sure if I'd use it. My experience at Canterbury yesterday pushed me over the edge. A grumpy, truck-driving [censored] berating the fish, an annoying old dude who kept calling aces "stickers" and letting out an irritating cackle everytime he said it, a metrosexual douche-bag who kept flirting with the acne-riddled chip runner, two gentlemen from the sub-continent discussing what they would have had had they not folded preflop. I could take it no more. So, after $350 at Target, I have an iPod and some noise-blocking headphones. I never thought I would become that guy. I am that guy. The other option was $19.99 on a Louisville Slugger and bashing all of their brains in, but nothing kills a good game like a guy beating the players to death with a baseball bat. That is all.
