Happy St. Patty Day

Posted by rich on March 17th, 2009

I’ve got a shamrock stamped on my right hand, a Ireland Rugby jersey on and I wore my green Red Sox hat today. Also I headed to Liam Maguire’s in downtown Falmouth this afternoon with the family, Brown Dog and Crazarian. Good times.

Tomorrow’s bracket day at The Musings, which is something I always look forward to. I love March Madness and cannot wait for the tourney to begin. I watched nearly every game I could consume over the weekend and got my start tonight when Liberty won in the CIT over Rider. We’re in the Elite Eight baby (so what if they only invite 16 teams, we’re in the battle to be No. 98 baby).

Whoever allowed the Chicago Bulls to wear green uniforms on St. Patrick’s Day against the Celtics needs a smack. How the drunks at the bars are keeping up with the action is beyond me. Everytime I look up I think that the C’s have scored, yet somehow they’re in the middle of a one point game right now.

Also wanted to send a little love to one of the greatest poker accomplishments that I’ve ever seen. Some guy from Germany, who goes by the screen name Boku87, took action that he could turn $100 into $10,000 in just 15 days, never playing a sit-n-go tournament that cost more than $16 to enter. During that time he played over 7,000 games, playing up as many as 52 games at the same time, and got the job done, in 14 days. Not only did he collect the $9,900 he earned, but he also won something like 35K on side bets against people that didn’t think he could do it. If I ever had to play that many games in two weeks I’d be asking to be put out of my misery by the third day, it’s just too much time in front of the computer, and it can’t be good for you. The dude must have a computer for a brain, but he got the job done and it’s impressive.
