If you think this is funny, it's a poker/comedy blog. If not, it's just a poker blog.

Today's topic- The WSOP Rematches I'd REALLY like to see.

Nice. I like the idea of adding interesting prizes for the matchups. In that regard, I'll propose:

Todd Witteles vs. Mason Malmuth. If Malmuth wins, Druff must proofread the next David Sklansky book. If Witteles wins, Malmuth most moderate the "Retard Siberia" section of the Donkdown forums.

Sorel Mizzi vs. John Racener. Yeah, this feud is supposedly water under the bridge but we, the poker public, never got closure (not that we cared to). The loser must serve as personal chauffeur for the other for the rest of the year. Note: this game shall be self-dealt.

Howard Lederer vs. Isai Scheinberg. Winner gets the other's entire stable of pros AND presenting sponsorship for all televised poker shows. No more missing persons on Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker or The Big Game. It didn't work for baseball's Federal League, football's AFL or basketball's ABA -- we want the best players in one place, dammit.

Erica Schoenberg vs. Melanie Whatshername.
Loser gets to show dem tittays.

Today at Poker Smell - Hooray for Hollywood

Also, I'm going to be posting a message pretty soon on the site about people who would like to contribute, but I'll mention it here ahead of time. If any of you ever have a desire to submit something, I'll give you credit and link to whatever stuff you want to plug. Assuming I post it.

I am open to posting anything that is at least remotely related to poker (very remote even is totally fine), not GROSSLY offensive, and makes me smile or laugh.

Frequent contributors will receive direct posting abilities.

That's all I think, I'm going to attempt to turn this thing into a bit more than a run-of-the-mill boring blog, and I can think of a few people around here who I'd love to join me in doing that.

The WPT could add a few other sneakily named locations:

Paris, Texas - it has a movie named after it... huge branding opportunity!

Moscow, Idaho - allows scorned Washington residents a poker option

London, West Virginia - 2+2 crowd would avoid it, as it rests on Kanawha River, which sounds like a shady licensing body for online poker

Amsterdam, Missouri - tournament field could double population of 281

Houston, Alaska - Suburb of Anchorage, December highs are still warmer than Amazon Room during WSOP late nights

Madrid, Iowa - founded by Swedish settlers, reviving "idiots from Northern Europe" rant by Hellmuth

Manila, Arkansas - despite its name, population is 0.07 percent Asian, fooling Barry Greenstein into angered rant

Dallas, Oregon - located on Rickreall Creek, which means tournament results page often leads you to video for "Never Gonna Give You Up"

Philadelphia, Mississippi - infamous as site of Freedom Summer murders, this place needs the PR boost.

and, of course...

Las Vegas, New Mexico - Location for films ranging from Easy Rider to No Country For Old Men to Due Date. Also provided site for Wild Hogs which, for all of its critical pans, is still probably better than Lucky You.
