Do you remember Georg and Yortuk Festrunk? Well, it may not be names that spring liltingly to lip. You might remember them better as Two Wild and Crazy Guys on SNL.

I very much enjoy reading his CrAAKKer site. I think the attraction is that of opposites. He does get going on his d-bag events on a regular basis. Where he is exercised over our human foibles, I find them endearing. The only true benefit I see for him is improved circulation. Read more…
That can be traumatic. It is a vague memory for in a week and a day it will be 20 years in my rear view mirror. So this isn’t about me. It is about WSOP coverage. Frankly, it wasn’t a real part of my last month and whatever. Read more…
