Off Topic for the Most Part



Hence no pretty pictures of weird and wonderful bogus play of Internet Poker.

Despite the probability taht tonight's table was a cheat I put my poisoned pen aside and try to atone for my Godzilla comments last night. Like celebrity deaths and Charlie Sheen rants it's at time not to try and forget the despair by joking about it. With regret I recall 20 years or so ago joking about famine in Ethiopa. At that time I wasn't earning anywhere near what I do now as a retail clerk. Now that I have some bucks to spare I'm more sensitive to what is going on in the world.

Sora, the lovely lass featured here is from Japan. You must have been living under a rock for the past week or so busy playing race tables that you haven't heard what's going on.

The sixth strongest earthquake in recorded history.
The resulting, devastating tsunamis.
Possibly we are looking at the second worst nuclear power plant disaster in recorded history.

Today I made a donation to the International Rescue Mission - $300. My biggest regret is that I couldn't feel comfortable donating more. But since I did a bit of research I know they are a reputable group. It's not like they are Scientology Vulture Ministers trying to pick up recruits in the wake of a major disaster.

Knowing it's not over yet is what bothers me the most. Snow and freezing temperatures are descending on a land where countless buildings have been washed away. Homeless. Freezing. Starving. No fresh water. Radiation.

God watched Armageddon, an old movie about Krakatoa and just decided to bitch slap us.

Break out your checkbook and send $25 to IRM or the Red Cross or I promise you I will kill you the next table you play against me.
