28. Go all-in with a 7/2 off suit
Easy as pie. And I do like pie.
About once a month, everyone's favorite Comic Stop has an after-hours poker night for all the regular customers; it's been going on for about... hmm... six months, maybe? Usually there're about 20-30 people who show up to play, so there're preliminary tables, and whoever wins their table goes on to the much-ballyhoo'ed final table (ballyhoo: highly underused word). Then the winner of the final table would get some fancypants prize. I'd decided a while ago that, in order to consider this really complete, said all-in maneuver would have to be at the final table--when something was actually at stake.
Well, due to my mad poker playing skillz(0r), I finally made it to the final table last week (we shall ignore that this was solely because only 8 people showed up, and thus everyone made it to the final table). So once that happened, I was just sitting and waiting for a 7/2 off-suit hand to come up, so I could push everything in. Huzzah, and due to getting crap cards all night, I finally got my opportunity! So strike one more goal off the list.
By the way, I went through and set up an RSS feed for this site. The link to it is over on the righthand side of the page. I'm pretty new to that, and I'm kinda operating under the assumption that I don't have to do anything to maintain it, but this way since I update so infrequently, you can actually get an alert when I bother to do so. I also set up an RSS feed for my LJ site, which can be accessed here. Of course, it won't reflect friends-locked entries, but nothing's perfect.
Fair warning, though, the RSS feed for this site may in fact be totally horked right from the beginning; it may update every time I tweak the template, which is every time I update the list of 101 things, which is every time I watch another movie from Netflix (average of every 3 days). So if it says I updated, when I clearly did not, well... better than nothing, no? Reward yourself by going back and re-reading some of my witty repartoire.
