There's a lady I knew who was a pretty bad gambling addict that had put her home up for mortgage a few times over the course of a few years, and then hit for $180,000. She dumped it all right back in. She is now ded tho. Her hubby's still kickin and pulled himself out of it as best he could. Scary stuff.

Anyone else find that long-drawn-out poker scene in Casino Royale really tedious?

I've never subscribed to the out-dated machismo that's attached to high-stakes gambling - all those steely looks that say, "This pile of chips is indicative of my huge genitalia." It's a movie cliché that turns up in the saloons of the Wild West as well as the casinos of Europe, but I wonder if it ever turns up in real life casinos? Do you see guys at the tables playing out that fantasy?

Nothing says friendship like breathlessly agreeing with everything someone says.
