Had we known that Victor Garber married Bennifer?
Awww, that's adorable.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Hey, Phil came in second at a recent poker event:
June 29, 2005
Event #25
Pot-Limit Hold 'em
Buy-in: $2,500
Number of Entries: 425
Total Prize Money: $977,500
Official Results:
1 Johnny Chan Las Vegas, NV $303,025
2 Phil Laak San Jose, CA $156,400
**************
The final duel was so compelling that ESPN cameras were turned on for an event not originally scheduled to be televised. Phil Laak and Johnny Chan played some of the best poker in the history of the World Series. Johnny Chan may have seen everything in his 23 years as a pro, but he had certainly not witnessed the equivalent of Phil "Unabomber" Laak playing the role of circus clown, crazed lunatic, and grand shaman all wrapped up in a single, seemingly disturbed, poker player. Chan sat stoically, while Laak bounced around the final table. He darted back and forth around Chan, the dealer, and the Tournament Director - often in the middle of hands. When he folded a hand, he pleaded with the dealer to rabbit-hunt cards, seemingly more interested in a hypothetical outcome than reality. Like a deranged madman, Laak had the audience (and occasionally Chan, too) in stitches. No one would have thought that there was about 150 grand riding on the outcome.
It would be safe to say that although it was past 3 am, no one - not the players, the audience, or the staff -- wanted this match to end. It was theatre worthy of an extended encore. The final curtain came down on the Chan-Laak show when the Unabomber was dealt K-J. Chan was dealt Q-Q. The flop came J=5=5. Laak was trapped. He was all-in with top pair and Chan had an overpair. Two blanks fell and Chan had delivered the final knockout punch.

The evil is this way?

I'm having trouble with the link. Is this some 3-way that may be legalized in Massachusetts right after bestiality and serving mayo on hot dogs?

It was the same day Jennifer Tilley won the women's.

Huh. And my mother worried when I was twelve and somebody taught me to play...I've forgotten mostly. Maybe she should've encouraged the interest. Thanks for the pics, ChiKat.

Looks like Phil went out in the first round for the WSOP Championship (currently still going) though.

Thanks for the pics, ChiKat.
Seconded. My first boyfriend looked and acted a lot like DQ in Great Balls of Fire. However he turned out to be an ass and (last I saw) has not aged nearly as well.
