On The Origin Of Species

Sharks and other smaller fish. They existed happily in the same seas for a long time obeying the natural predator/prey relationships.

In a fluke accident, an asteroid, the Moneymaker, collided with the known world setting off a chain of events eventually known as the Binion-Harrah (B-H) Boundary. The seas boiled and many areas of land were uncovered, previously barren of life. In these areas, huge numbers of braying quadrupeds emerged, evidently mesmerized by the aftereffects of the asteroid strike.

The sharks found themselves competing with these wild, unpredictable creatures for sustenance and many could never overcome the typically irrational behavior exhibited by the newcomers. Only time will tell whether this will lead to a mass extinction event, but certainly there have already been many deaths...

Happy 200th Chuck!

Back To Back

Not only did I accomplish my goal in making consecutive Riverchasers TOC final tables, I improved on last trimester's 2nd place finish. The Eastern TOC was on Saturday, which I could not make, so I trekked 2 friggin hours from north of Philly to Hershey on Sunday to play with the hillbillies in Central. Banjos were wayyyyy more than dueling. Seriously.

Maybe I'll fill in some of the detail as the work day goes on, but just a few tidbits...

-- I was down to 1/2 BB and all-in blind in the SB when at 100/200 (level 9).
-- KTo can beat KJs and AKo AIPF when it needs to
-- 83o if perfectly acceptable to call off your stack with, assuming the correct conditions

Borgata bound on March 22 for a 1 in 20 shot at a big buy in (to what I don't remember, and I can't get to RPT from work to check). And from what I hear, there are not nearly as many players to be concerned with this time around. Can't do worse than the 17th place egg I laid 4 months ago. Do not go broke with TPTK, do not go broke with TPTK (especially holding AJs).

When Bacon Explodes

http://www.bbqaddicts.com/bacon-explosion.html

5000 calories of bacon and other associated pork fats. Dinner for 10 or an afternoon snack for Al and a date.

What had me rolling was the closing quote used in the wiki article I found this bad boy on:

After preparing a version of the dish, Andrew Vennari of the San Francisco Food Examiner said the dish tasted better than expected, "but I didn't learn the true meaning of the bacon explosion until the next day."

Riverchasers TOC on Sunday in Hershey. Let's see if I can put together back-to-back final tables at this bad boy (2nd place last time).
