This past Saturday night Myself and Carty hosted our "5th annual Feline Only No-Limit Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament to Benefit Under Privileged Cats". Long title, I know. But can you think of a better one? Once a year we have a big poker tournament for the area cats. Half the entry fees to go to underprivileged cats. Yes, once a year I'm capable of not being a self centered A-Hole. Some pictures are posted below. The tournament was once again a big success. Even better than most years. On top of the money we raised only two cats had to be escorted out of the building for lewd or dangerous behavior and no tables were flipped over out of frustration. A first for our tournament. Last year Flaco(our nip dealer) was arrested. He claims he wasn't arrested, but instead the police had him placed in "protective custody" because he was "a danger to himself and others" and he was not actually charged with anything. He was released the next morning. I attribute the improved behavior due to us having a cash bar rather than an open bar this year. Cats as people, tend to drink less if they actually have pay for it. On the downside, LV Mayor Oscar Goodman as been MC for the tournament in previous years. He was committed again this year, but when he found out that there was not an open bar this year, suddenly "something came up". Oh, well...I like poker. Not as much a much as betting on sports or horses. But it makes for a great time to spend with friends and family. And only friends and family. I say that because if you go to a casino and play with a bunch of strangers, chances are you'll be sitting at table with nine of the most hideous, vile people you'll ever meet. A few year's ago poker experienced a huge boom in this Country. It's since fizzled considerably. Mostly because rational individuals such as Myself refuse to sit with these idiots. A few years back there were enough people into poker to where your might run in to a few normal human beings. Not anymore. They've all been run off. I would rather play poker with inmates in the rec room at the Clark County jail than at the poker room at the Bellagio. I would feel safer and the conversation would be more intelligent.

P.S. Happy Halloween! I guess....Me and Carty are going to a friends party. I stated before I hate costumes. I'm dressing up a cat that hates costumes. Carty is going as "Joe the Plumber".
