Sports Team: Manchester United, we player 'soccer' here ;-)
Random fact: I've broken about 7 major bones playing various sports and now my left foot is a bit bent :S

I think the only fans of any team that are more rabid then Red Sox Fans are Manchester United Fans! And that's saying a LOT!

And I've broken 10 bones, the same one 4-times, so I guess we are tied?!?

I would be willing to accept a tie , the advantage of being a rabid Manchester United fan is that there are a good few million or so other people to be rabid with.

Wow we've even got a Utd fan from Manchester here. It's true EVERYONE's coming here

I can't decide whether you are being nice or making a complex football insult (talk about 7th level thinking)

Oink, because I think we would get along well, even though I dont drink anymore.
DD, because he has helped me more than anyone(TY DD) and because I know just enough about limit poker now, to realize he is a fantastic player.(maybe some would rub off)....
and Mr Tall....because we knew each other in a past life time......and we tortured each other there too!!

Thanks a lot, I'll let you all know when the book is done. You guys have set up an awesome site, props to all of you.

I'm Dan, I'm 23 and 3/4 years old, and I live in San Francisco (the actual city, not the "San Francisco area").
I am currently single and play/coach/write poker for a living.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Duke Blue Devils are my favorite sports teams.
I play a lot of ultimate frisbee and climb rocks. I'm pretty much a hippie, though I did get my hair cut finally.
I have an awesome cat who keeps me from tilting.
And I've always wanted to meet Tommy Angelo. Hopefully I'll get a chance to soon!

Cool, I'm ultimate frisbee player myself .. and also freestyle frisbee catastrophe

It's actually Kelley Sq that I'm closest to lol. Schenectady, that's great. Yes indeed. I was everywhere from Mohawk Mall to Rotterdam Square. I grew up in the Schenctady/Rotterdam area. Ghetto must have tipped you off.

I read minds, and, obviously, it's very good for poker. Maybe I should make a series about it...hehe

And I knew it was Mohawk Mall, dang it, dunno why I said Colonial. Was it called that too at some point? If you step into the Vernon and ever meet Al who runs: http://www.hotelvernon.com/ and is making a documentary film of the place, tell him Joe Tall sent you and I'm sure he'll buy you many beers. Al is this guy: http://www.albombz.com/img/wword.gif

Ever been to that diner, dang, forget the name but it's not far from Rotterdam Jct (like that actual Railroad Jct). Argh, I'll come ot me, give me a day or two...
