A Day at the Races: Another unsuccessful betting excursion at Tampa Bay Downs
January 4th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys
I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know a lick about horseracing, which is a shame considering I come from a long line of gamblers. I’ve always held my own at jai-alai, poker, sportsbook and the dogs but the big win at the horse track has always eluded me. Read the rest of this entry »

An apology letter to Raheem Morris
November 4th, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI feel an apology is necessary.
I was pretty rough on the Rah last week. For those of you who don’t know, Raheem Morris is the second-year head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last season, his team went 3-13. This season, they’re 5-2. Surprising isn’t a strong enough word. Read the rest of this entry »

February 22nd, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI played in a charity poker event last week, believe it or not, at the same temple where I had my Bar mitzvah so many years ago. Nothing like pocket tens and torahs to brighten up an evening. Read the rest of this entry »

Pranks to play on passed out friends, Vol. 1: The slipcover
November 4th, 2009 by Chris HumpherysAs my friends continue to prove unable to handle their liquor, this hopes to become a series of helpful hints and amusing anecdotes which the more experienced party-goers can use to ridicule their friends who ill-advisedly drink beyond their means. It also sets up for some pretty good photography. Here’s hoping they’ll still hang out with me. Read the rest of this entry »

The Changing Face of Pimpitude in America: A Non-Sports Blog for Adults Only
April 10th, 2009 by Chris HumpherysMy company recently sent me out of state to attend a three-day work conference. I won’t elaborate as to which city hosted the conference as I’d hate to incriminate this fine town for its legal and moral shortcomings. Suffice it to say, the city boasts casinos and prostitution is against the law… I think. Read the rest of this entry »
