Bloggers are with the gays.

Bloggers are indeed gay. But if you actually want to learn to play hold'em I could teach you. Rapid fire style. Or point you to a half dozen books or so that I've read.

Is this a paid "job," with real money and everything? $:-\$

$20 per article. Not much, but I figure I can always tell people it pays $40 an hour.

You're getting paid to write about poker? How can I get in on this deal?

You have to find your own Randist that likes starting companies just for the hell of it.

I have no idea what a Randist is.

Susquehanna Birder · August 11, 2005, 04:23:56 PM

I'll take a few guesses:

- A member of The Atlas Society (followers of Ayn Rand's work). (LINK)
- A member of the James Randi Foundation, or a fan of Randi (LINK)
- A program that generates a random distribution of points in a sphere (LINK)

I'm guessing that G_F is that last one.

Typically they are people who follow Ayn Rand and her theories of objectivism and do things because they make sense with no emotional attachment to their decisions beyond making the correct objective choice. It's a boring and predictable lifestyle, meant for those without an imagination or sense of humor. I would guess that lots of dudes who can't get laid are into it.

"I am intellectually superior to your current mating partner. It only makes sense to allow me to impregnate you for the benefit of your offspring."

I'm just going to pretend it's someone who's really into Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

That would explain this site, then.

I don't think GF is refering to himself as a Randist, unless he was refering to Phatty's Macho Man theory. I think his friend is a Randist. Or maybe you're all poop eaters.
