What’s this world coming to?
October 18th, 2005Two or three years ago, they banned smoking from the World Series of Poker. Fine. I like good tobacco, but I’m a courteous smoker. I don’t even like my own smoke in my face so I certainly wouldn’t expect someone else to be forced to tolerate it.
But this year they’re handing out penalties for bad language. Mike “The Mouth” Matusow deserves a penalty for a number of reasons. Speaking shouldn’t be one of them.
Does absolutely everything have to be safe for the children? It’s gambling. In a casino.
Rein it in, girls. Enough’s enough. If you can’t handle the “F-Bomb” stay away from the places men hang out.
Why would children be watching casino gambling?
Control-freaks strike again.
Uh… they probably watch it on TV. You know children and them there permissive parents who use TV as a babysitter.
And besides, DC, weren’t we just talking about certain players lacking class? Isn’t firing off a string of curse words indicitive of that.. deficiency?
That was my point, dear feline. I’m tired of the whole world being sanitized to compensate for lazy parents.
Also, Mike Matusow most certainly lacks class. He wouldn’t recognize class if it smacked him upside the head. That still doesn’t justify a “timeout” from the World Series of Poker for “potty mouth.”
I despise this preschool world.
But my delicate sensibilities! I might just swoon if I hear some frightful man who plays that wicked gamblin’ game!
Good grief people. Grow up.
I should’ve figured I could count on Heidi. You’re a gem, darlin’.
Funny thing is, when Doyle started out over 50 years ago, it wasn’t unusual for him to have a double-barreled shotgun pressed to his forehead at the end of a game and now we’re gettin’ “timeouts” for talkin’ dirty.
The war on masculinity has just about reached it’s pinnacle. When the fightin’ commences, it won’t be in a courtroom and then everybody’s gonna be lookin’ for men.
You’ll be valuable again, and in a few short years if the way the world is going is any indication. =)
Some of us women still appreciate men like you, Cowboy.
