Sharing the awesome…

More than anyone, I know about the dangers of over-hype and the pitfalls of creating unreasonably high expectations. I learned relatively early in the play that girls who see a guy packing a lot of heat automatically expect him to be great in bed. Not true. The rare times I have attempted such exploits, the default results would be soul-crushingly embarassing were they not predictable and routine - I fail at levels of failure so spectacular, I surprise even myself sometimes - and I’m not easily surprised. Kevin Spacey was Keyser Soze? Picked it early. Bruce Willis was dead the whole time in Sixth Sense? Knew it all along. Geelong, 42 wins from 43 games getting dusted by the Hawks in the Grand Final? Please, anyone who put money on Geelong was retarded and a sap.

However, hype dangers notwithstanding, if the following email exchange between a debt collection agency and a busto guy is not the funniest thing you’ll read this week, well Blog Friend, I don’t even want to know you.

As always, the excellence is in the tiny details.

6. It was poor form of me not to ensure you were adequately stocked with Xanax and Ambien for your flight home and the unavoidable travel tilt. I apologise and, in the future, will endeavour not to make the same mistake for future visitors.

   thanks for a fun night. Was nice to finally see a civilized part of the country.
   How did the heads up session end? I left just as you sat at the tables. Quote of the night :
   “I respect your play - but i TOTALLY disagree with your lines”

8. I played 3 hands of 25/50. First hand AA, I 3bet he folds. 2nd hand, QQ, I 3bet he calls QTo, flop TT9r. 5k gone. 3rd hand, I 3bet KJ and flop flush and straight draw and he has KK, blank blank 5k gone. Everyone laughing too hard so I not give them any more enjoyment. So I then proceed to lose 15k on Jacks or Better Video Poker. Good night. ffs.
