Can I Get A Hell Yeah!

From Yahoo News: Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.

"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.

Full Tilt

I blame Matt.  He got me into this mess.  I've racked up over 30,000 points at Full Tilt in my first week of play.  Strangely, my favorite part of playing online isn't accumulating the fictitious money.  Rather, I get more lolz at Full Tilt than I ever expected...mostly from watching the chat window. I summarize below a conversation I had just this evening:

moron123: CMON PEPEOL BET
moron123: JSUT BET
moron123: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
moron123: WAKE UP WAKE UP
moron123: OH THAT WAS REALLY STUPID
emdeeay: please type louder.  we can't hear you.
moron123: YOUR GOING TO HAER WHEN I WIN THE NEXT HADN
emdeeay: no, really.  you should add lots of exclamation points to your sentences.  that way, we will all pay attention.
Dealer: emdeeay wins the pot (4625) with a full house, Aces full of Jacks
otherdude25: omg lol

Anyway, online poker is taking up more of my time than I care to admit.  It would be cool if we could all meet at a Full Tilt table one night.  I'm not suggesting that we replace the usual poker night, but mayhaps we could get Stembridge involved again if we play online every once in a while.  It's just an idea.

In other news, Peyton Manning is still a flat-faced mayonnaise eater.
