I've seen that attributed to Dizzy Dean (I think he said 'If you can do it . . .') But that was just a lame excuse for popping off. Bragging is bragging, whether you can do it or not. :eek: :cool:

Vapros,

Please do not discourage the Chicago contingent from unabashed bragging.

We would be left with one (1) sentence responses, or maybe even one (1) WORD posts. Such as "yesse"---"noe"---or "mabee"..:rolleyes:

On second thought,...go ahead and discourage..:eek:

San

PS..Fred, I knew Italian families tend to run large...but 10,000 copies sold,...Wow !!!.:cool:

My family is somewhat like the Chicago contingent. I have a very large family and so far they have purchased zero copies. I opened a sandwich joint in my neighborhood about 10 yrs ago. The 200 members of my family didnt spend $200 in 2 yrs. That comes out to about .50 cents a person. They, like the prevalent Chicago attitude, feel, why should you be successful and not me?

the Beard
Never much liked Chicago broads either. Married 2 from Florida. The only Chicago things I really loved was table 13 and table 24 in Bensingers. The bloodstains would never come out of the cloth.

In "The Bank Shot", Fats attributes the quote, at that time, to boxer Jack Dempsey.

Steve,

Quoting your own posts is how it starts. Quoting them three times is how you end up in Vegas, telling everybody how great you were.

Dennis<<<------was never great at anything.

Not giving up a shot to anyone for 20 years. And never getting in a close game, and then bragging about how much of a gambler you were.

Did you notice in the last couple of weeks that I called and spoke to my little Puerto Rican friend? He's still a character. Says he doesn't play anymore. I've heard that since '85 but this time I think he's telling the truth.

Steve,

I offered to send him a plane ticket and pay his entry to the One-Handed tourney at the DCC and he told me I'd be wasting my money and he would not let me do that. And my offer still stands if he changes his mind.

P.S. I don't think I would come to the U.S. in winter if I lived in Puerto Rico the rest of the time. And he is getting close to 80 years old now.
