Spitting image, yes. But as for being in the blood, as someone in the family, who will remain unnamed, said: “Yes, he looks like James Joyce. And that’s about it.”

spitting image – it’s in your blood, most definatly on the cover, but methinks on the inside too

Yes, Steve, a 14-character unbroken string lacking punctuation. And at that point we will, as someone I was talking to a party last night said, be “back to the days of Morse code.” With all of our technologies we will have regressed to a state of primitive communication.

Alas, I fear that you are right…patience for anything on the net has dwindled to about the size of the average blog, i.e. 3-4 paragraphs. I’m sure that Twitter will bring that down even more so that in the future we will only communicate in 14 character strings. Gotta go, this reply is already too long!

Thanks, Joe. But Baha’i worship three times a day while I blaspheme thrice a month. I think I’ve got the better arrangement.

As for you, Seldom Seen, I’ll admit I’ve erred on my pegging a few times, but as far as poker goes, you need to put your cards where your mouth is.
Fourth Night cubed. I like that. More details coming on subsequent fourths.
As for May the Fourth be With You, it looks like I’m not the only one who’s thought it up: http://tinyurl.com/cn7hwk

“may the fourth be with you”? ohh please…
the bigger lesson to be learned here is about being a “cool headed gambler” and one that you clearly have missed the boat on, at least as far reading bluffs, and pegging for points. but there’s time, there’s time.
so. fourth night cubed. whats it all about?

How many 4s in a year? Based on the new Terms of Fourth Night I think it’s best I don’t dwell on that. Three per month is enough for me to digest right now…
