Sorry to hijack the "Ban Favre/juice" thread, but I'll just say that I am officially a degenerate gambler, and I have the urge to play poker. So, the $100 bounty is lifted if you see me playing in the next week.

What good is posting a bounty if you give yourself the ability to lift it whenever you want? The point of it is to keep you from playing for a little while.

I mean, I could put a $1000 bounty on myself for the rest of the year, and then call it off tonight right before I start playing. What's the point in that?

In all honesty, I think you should stick to your plan and not play for the rest of the month, or however long the original bounty period was. It's certainly not going to kill you to not play poker for another few days.

This made me laugh twice - first with the 'hijack the "Ban Favre/juice" ' line and then with the lifting of the self-imposed bounty.

Reminds me of the scene in Young Frankenstein - here is the direct quote:

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door.
Inga: Yes, Doctor.
Igor: Nice working with ya.
[Dr. Frederick Frankenstein goes into the room with The Monster. The Monster wakes up]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! Mommy!


Ha, thinking of that movie made me laugh a third time.
