Konnichiwa, bitches

@LodgePokerClub Brilliant addition to a cardroom bathroom, should be standard.

Was rolling through Austin recently and had to stop in to support @LodgePokerClub with all they have been through.

Today's Rare Pepe Lore Lesson™️ is Series 27, Card 9 - SODAPEPENSKI by @BryanMicon (AKA Micon the Icon). This is a 1/887 card with a current floor price of .0035 BTC ($226 USD). 306 wallets hold a copy of the card and Bryan still has 55.4% of the total supply (492/887). In 2023 Bryan an @XCER_CO released what they called "Modern Art Disaster #1" which was an end table with a clear top. below the acrylic you could see PEPEINSKI poster as well as 21 physical cards. There was talk of a Disaster #2 which would have 69 cards and Disaster #3 with 420 cards but there has been no word on the progress of these. The source image used for the card is Soda Popinski, originally known as Vodka Drunkenski, a 35-year old Russian boxer who made his first appearance in the arcade as the "Champion of the USSR" in the 1984 game Super Punch-Out!!. As his name suggests, he drinks soda on a regular basis in between bouts of incessant laughter. The theme music played for Soda Popinski is from The Volga Boatmen's Song, a Russian folk song. Bryan changed "POP" on the bottle to "PEPE". At the bottom of the card is a piece titled "Work Harder, Comrade!" by artist pallanoph which features a Soviet-style bear illustration.

As a Southerner, my wife is far more patriotic than I am. She has a bit of fomo for America 250, and we laughed about our differences on state level love. She asked me "Aren't you glad you were born in the USA? Out of all the places in the world you could have been born? Don't you at least have some spawn site appreciation?" 😂😂 SPAWN SITE APPRECIATION 😂😂 Brilliant term. The woman is amazing. Her family tree dates back to 1600s colonial Virginia. I'll admit to having a good bit of SSA. Could have run a lot worse.

Additional reminder it is acceptable to mete this tradition at the lower stakes buyin of $20. Amazing thing you got going here though @BryanMicon.

I haven't seen a Mexican attack like this since the Alamo.

I haven't seen a Moroccan attack like this since the Massacre of Monte Arruit

I haven't seen a Paraguayan defense like this since the battle of Curupayty

I haven't seen a Panamanian attack like that since the days of Noriega.

@scott_seiver Just trying to be helpful from afar this year. Encouraging people to drop a hundy on Kevmath and trying to will the parking gate destruction with my mind.

@BryanMicon That’s the sharp advice I’ve been waiting for thank you friend

My past 7 days of the wsop has consisted of busting 2 from the $ in 25k PLO, 4 from the money in 25k PLO/NLH , 3 from the $ in 10k triple draw and busting the 50k maximally painfully. Just lost the triple draw with 10 minutes left of registration in a 1500 stud/8 and I’m in there. All we can do is make one decision at a time and hope they’re the best we can possibly make.

I haven't seen an American attack like this since last week

Nah, deep down an AI rabbit hole. Would be mega tilted if I found myself parked in the shitty chair in the Paris for multiple days, followed by the existential crisis of the parking garage. Lost all the drive. Don't care. Zero fomo this year outside seeing some of my favorite humans there. In a year or three I'll get the bug again and make my return. Maybe roll in for the seniors event in 2029.

Happy to see @slayabidesd0tl make to the @wsop I had to give him the obligatory $10

@Jeremytimmons @slayabidesd0tl @Kevmath @WSOP Strangely all of this is #MiconApproved

@slayabidesd0tl @Kevmath @WSOP Sad @BryanMicon

Claude so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me

So part of the game is you have to play dead when anyone slightly touches you?

I haven't seen a Hatian attack like that since Barbecue took over Port-au-Prince

I'll admit to being a total soccer newb and having significant action on these games. Figured he was keeping that thing for display back in Senegal like they would do if the Antigua team every scored a goal in World Cup play. That ball would be at the ministry of sports in a glass case.

@BryanMicon Losing team will do this to get the ball back to center as quick as possible to not waste time off running clock.

Lmao at the Senegal goal scorer immediately grabbing the ball for safe keeping.

Great question and thanks for asking it Michele. In general, I'll dance. For me, it's very female-dependant. My wife doesn't like dancing. If the girl I'm with doesn't want to dance, I feel no need to dance. That being said there are occasions where the vibe is right and the woman wants to dance and we dance. Earlier this year there was this awesome DJ from the UK that came to Antigua to spin this set at our friends hot club and we got to dancing. Vibe was just right, room was electric, the woman wanted to dance, so we danced. If I'm with a woman who wants to dance, I dance without hesitation. Happy to field any follow ups, and I'm glad you and your Dutch man are dancing. Feels very positive.

Guy Questions. Do you dance? If no, why? When did American men stop dancing? Gen X? I think men who dance look more confident, more attractive = more dates. My sexy Dutch husband dances and he’s very cool + manly. @Stapes @ToddWitteles @ShaneSchleger @BryanMicon

Haven't seen Uzbekistan get screwed like that since the Tajikistani civil war
