OK, here’s something I don’t understand. Three times last
week (two of those times during a meal!), relative strangers, in broad
daylight, say to me “I have to watch
everything I eat, I have such a slow metabolism”,
or “Rich, you stay so thin, you must have a fast metabolism”, that
sort of thing.

I looked it up just to confirm my suspicions. Here’s what I
found. Metabolism –
1. the sum total of the chemical
processes that occur
in living organisms, resulting in growth, production
of energy, elimination of waste material, etc.
Just
as I suspected. Metabolism is just a fancy word for Pooing! I knew it! They are
talking about pooing!

Question: Why is this OK?! Why is this acceptable? This is what you want to discuss? Over freakin’
lunch!? The process by which what we are currently inputting will soon become
outputting?! Really? Seriously? On what planet?

Let me set the record straight. It is categorically not OK to
talk about your pooing habits with me over Sushi and it sure the fuck is not OK
for you to speculate about mine! (And just for the record, I don’t even do
that!)

Did I miss something? Was there an announcement at some town
hall, or was there a caucuseseseses, that suddenly declared open season on defecation
debates? If so, I did not get the memo, and I want no part of it. A’ight? We
clear?

OK, that’s enough of that shit.

Let’s talk a bit about poker. I went to Los Angeles for my
annual slew of meetings. They went well, thank you for asking. In between, I managed
to attend the festivities at Commerce Casino where The Annual LA Classic is being held. You may remember (and if you
don’t, I will be happy to remind you ad nauseum) that last year I won one of
the tournaments at this event. Did you remember that? That I won? Because I
won. Last year. In Los Angeles. At this event. Ten thousand clams.

This year I played for slightly higher stakes. I’ll tell you about it in the next post.

  1. Hilarious! Have a feeling I know at least one of those relative strangers
