For no reason whatsoever, the spousal unit and I were crazy-glued to last night's re-run of the 2004 World Series of Poker. The only female at the championship table was one Patty Gallagher, a founding member (I'm making this up) of PWA: Pinays With Attitude.
Oh, how I adore this woman.
At various intervals during the broadcast, the producers inserted profiles of each of the players. Patty's began something like this: "They call her Patty 'Machine Gun' Gallagher, but she prefers a different name... [cut to a close-up of Patty staring at the camera and deadpanning]: 'The Bitch.'" Next came various shots of her at tournaments banging the table, yelling, glaring, and whatnot. "You want to see a lady?" said Patty. "Go to church."
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
My girl ended up taking third place and pocketing a cool $91,000. Then she stood up and flipped the two remaining players the bird. God, it was precious.

she's a "leeetle bit scary".
we've gotten sucked into those poker shows on tv... I don't even know how to play poker. after watching a bunch of those shows, I STILL don't know how to paly poker. Ever watch the celebrity one?
She's not scary! Ohmalord, she's so badass.
Anyways, I learned by playing video poker when I went to Mo's wedding in Vegas. Wait, that sounds weird. You know what I mean. And, yes, I did catch the celebrity one once...
A lot of the guys act like huge brats and do plenty of the whole smack-talking thing--good for her.
I however try to avoid poker games so people don't confuse me with Matt Damon.
