Default I Can't Answer There, So I'll Answer Here

Obersturmfuehrer LVHCM1 is now conducting a referendum (he always ruled so democratically) whether or not I should be "allowed" to return to my former gambling forum.

Since I don't get to vote over there, I'll vote here. I vote NO. Seems like most of the posters I used to cajole anyway over there have moved on. The postings there move very slowly these days.

Now I understand that some at my former website consider themselves among (in the current political jargon) the gambling "elite." They tell us everyday.

But I'll just remain among the people. EOG offers a much wider content, from sports picks to poker to politics to current events.

The owner is much more "hands on," and the moderators have a sense of humor.

I voted YES.

At least it would give you the choice to post there if you wanted.

In the meantime, how about an update on Nick B. Did you keep getting his picks? Did he make good on those extra "free" picks that were supposed to be included in your package?

paraphrase: there's a pathetic vote from pathetic folks on a pathetic subject, and a pathetic attempt by a pathetic poster to show how famous he thinks he is.

oh jesus christ & jo-jo the carpenter, how did it turn out? please tell us so we know how expensive our next grocery shopping trip will be.

Bob,

They have no desire for me to return there. LVHCM1 just needed the issue to have something to sticky at the top of his forum to draw some hits and heat.

The NickB thang died shortly after a disastrous March Madness. The package was supposed to include some Arena Football, and the first month of baseball season, but they whacked my subscription early.

As I remember, the basketball ended up around 19-28 or 20-29 (I guess it's buried somewhere in the old posts, but I don't know how to find it fast.

Jeff,

Your posts are often hilarious and quite entertaining...

I find myself having to use an online dictionary at times to discern some things but what the hell?

You are an asset to EOG and I hope you continue to post here...

LVA is a cesspool of intellectual snobs that are much brighter than us..

I got tired of hearing them say that every day so I stopped posting there in December of 07...

If the vote is NO, feel free to email me for my username and password...

Now that might be funny...

Yeah Ken, I think your analysis of LVA is usually pretty accurate but I question how smart they really are over there. Overrated is a term that comes to mind and might be a gross understatement here. Thanks.

I almost decided to pursue a career in medicine back in college.

Fortunately, my parents were able to persuade me to give gambling a try first.

Is there a greater honor than to be psychoanalyzed on two gambling websites simultaneously?

How ironic is it that you're posting this after you see they don't want you back. I don't understand why you keep posting threads here about what's happening there. Do you think anyone here cares about you and the LVA?

In a thread titled "With Mods Here Tom Brady is Back" delusional Tom
writes this at LVA :



"I will be posting football picks and look forward to great gambling conversation with some of the nations finest gamblers."


Tom you seriously make it too easy for me every time

First Fezzik decided he couldn't handle it any more. He was never cut out to be a moderator anyway. So then Anthony shuts it down and lo and behold, discovers there was a real base of posters there who wanted it and made it good. So he instantly restarts it but chooses LVAHCM1 as mod - the worst possible choice. A guy who lives to namecall and act like a pompous ass. You might as well have made PerpCzech mod, lol. He manages to get the namesake Fezzik to leave (hence the name change from Fezziksplace), does nothing to keep Bostonred involved, kicks off Jones who drew more postings and content to the site than anyone. Who knows what else because I left and didn't keep up.

It's a lost cause, a shadow of it's former self -- which is too bad because it was better than the other forums in so many ways. Why at this point in time would LVAHCM1 even bother? The titanic sank and now he wants to patch the hole?

No question about it the place is as poorly run as could possibly be. Terrible and we all know this. The very few good cappers they once had, like Boston are chased off. What a joke of a place. You have terrible posters like Dreamer and Heim left and they are as bad as it can possibly get on the handicapping level and personality level. That place is a joke in all honestly. Actually you are right on the money Skyweasal.

Absolutely, but the LVA posters rebel when he refuses to post video rather than simply post the "winners."

Rich is down a little over a dime with one race to go today..

These people don't care. They see carrion and they circle.

Mr Jones, you have a job to do here at Eog, that is to keep us informed and entertained and on the path of righteousness (sorry, that last part is Mr Pioneer). You are a great asset to EOG and I look forward to you mentoring me as soon as I pass the Mensa Exam (I am studying every day and have reduced my viewing of porn on the internet by 30%). Momma says if you were not married she would date you, I know Mrs Jones is heavy and Momma would suit you fine. Stay Mr Jones, if not, I will follow you wherever you go.
