Here's the scene:  I'm up in my room at the Mandalay, the infamous LA Mike is hanging out (crushing an online tourney as usual), and I'm thinking, "hey, I should blog about some random s&@t."

So here goes...

Random Thought #1.  PokerWire Radio - Interesting show tonight.  Thomas Wahlroos guest starred, Gavin showed up in rare form after a day golfing with Negreanu and E-Dog, Sebok coped with his day two bust out, and Stapleton continued to be "The King of Hairy Italian Comedy."  Thomas gave a great interview and talked about everything from kickboxing (can you say broken nose) to receiving a P.Diddy-caliber Breitling watch from the creator of Cirque de Soleil.  Other highlights: 1. Gavin calling a listener a "Santa Monica hillbilly;" 2. Sebok claiming he never goes on tilt; 3. Stapleton begging fans to come back and listen to tomorrow's shows.

Random Thought #2. Casino Plumbing - Casinos have the best plumbing on the planet.  Whether you're at the Bellagio or Uncle Luke's Betting Hut, the toilets are completely uncloggable.  You could toss a boxing glove in one of these things and it'd still go down, it's like opening the cargo bay door at the end of "Aliens."  So, write you're local congressman and let's make casino plumbing available in every household across this great nation.

By the way, LA Mike just cashed in a Full Tilt tournament.  Poker world, you've been warned.
