If I Win the Mookie, Does Anybody Hear It?

But I Have Springy Legs

Do I suck if I couldn’t do much with them? Before you comment, let me point out that the question is of the rhetorical quality.

On the Fourth Day of Biggestron
Biggestron says to you:
4. Vacation Ending Poker
I didn’t get to play as much poker as I would have liked over the holiday break. The poker I did play, I played damn well. And it all came at the end of my little vacation from saving the world.
A few days before New Year’s [...]
