Instead of a tournement game, let change it up and put these pricks at a cash game. Scenario: Mob1 has AA, Mob2 has AKs-sp, and Sucker1 has QQ off. After reraise and a call, the flop comes. 9s,2s,7c. Mob1 bets, Mob2 calls, Sucker1 raises. Ideally Mob1 should pounces, but he calls so that Mob2 can stay in the pot. This gives them a 2-1 advantage. If this isn't collusion, I don't know what is.

I also recognised your name on the pop-up as one of the guys from theforce.net boards who used to make Star Wars fanfilms, so instantly rushed over to see if you had a blog. Huzzah.

My theory is that the time was just ripe now for a nice and clean kill of this particular meme. I heard about it on the Bad Astronomy blogg http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2010/02/17/godwin-godwinned-ftw/ Interesting story.

"5. Final Thought: I have no idea what to do next." I'm going to be honest with you. This is the thought that keeps me up at night. I've had a lot of fun with my little burst of Internet fame. I've built a little Facebook army. I've made a little money. I've even had some legitimate career boosts... so far. But it could all go away in a second. I've tried and failed so many times to make the Internet like one of my projects, and it finally happened big-time and I hope I'm making the right decisions at this time. But I've found that the Lebowski fans do not, as a whole, care about my other projects (past or present). I mean, sometimes when I post something they're nice about it, but they are not an army to send out at my beck and call. And I know they _say_ sometimes that they'd like me to do another pop culture mashup like TGOL, but that's not what they actually want. That would just be trying to recapture lightning in a bottle. That's hard to do. I don't fool myself; they're not interested in me. They're there because they like "The Big Lebowski". That's okay. That's their right. I don't use YouTube much, but of my 13 uploads, 2 of them are piggybacking on established memes (the Watchmen contest and literal music videos). They have ten, a hundred, a thousand times as many hits as my original pieces. What you did was give them, as Sammy Goldwyn said, the same, only different. That's about as good as you can ask for. But in a way you're fortunate that you used your RiffRaff account and not your personal, because RiffRaff is an appropriate account for "lol pop culture things" content, so hopefully you'll rack up some subscribers that will enjoy your other stuff there.
