Never forget that same George Washington led over 10K soldiers into Western PA because they wouldn't pay their whiskey tax.
Never forget George Washington traveled across an icy river to kill his ops in their sleep Because they taxed his tea 3%

When you graduate with a history degree there is <1% chance you will ever be paid a living wage to dig around a college library. This year I beat those odds. A look back: https://t.co/w80l7yuIxX

You know the Cormac McCarthy discourse is getting juicy when ALF shows up.
@sclv @davidclowery @Curiouslycinna2 @AmericanGwyn Itsa very loose interpretation IMO. You are inferring what the authors belive through a character which is in it self a creation with its own values and sentiments for the sake of the character deep. How can you know if comarc isn't tricking u with an illusion ?

- 24/7 Borgata buffet - Barging through a half circle of doorway-blocking Europeans to get into the tournament room - Flexing my Precheck/Global Entry on the rookies - Not knowing a player's name and doing nothing about it - Saying "I saw nothing, Chief" when controversy happens
Some of the things I look forward to most on the poker circuit: - Monaco views - Monaco tennis courts - Arts Barcelona breakfast buffet - Montenegro balcony chillin' - Honest Greens in Barcelona - Bahamas beaches and water - Cyprus ocean in the summer - Merit Cyprus food What

Michael Mizrachi on a run of luck, charisma, and pure guts that reminds one of Ric Flair in the 1992 Royal Rumble.

Seven Card Stud at the WSOP in the middle of the night would be confusing to Abraham Lincoln if he were alive today.

Wild Bill Hickok was among the first to be elected to the Poker Hall of Fame in 1979, but he was too dead to pick up this original certificate. (Stay tuned for a deep dive on the PHOF.)
