This...is....Jeopardy!

In exciting Friday night news, a Poker Chick colleague and fellow alum, upset 3-time Jeopardy! champion Rick and competitor Cle with a brilliant last-minute bet. Watch Monday night to see how he fares against new competition...

Poker Chick would like to wish all her readers that are members of the tribe a Shana tova v'metukah. (For those who don't know tribe-speak, that translates to a happy and sweet new year.) To all her readers: may you and your family be blessed with much laughter, love and happiness.

Poker chick is adding to the pet peeve list something that should have been on there from the get-go: The supposition that having a child waives any and all rights to reproductive privacy, as evidenced with the repeated and unabashed question: "So, do you think you'll have another?"

Fall Fashion**

Today is the start of fashion week in New York. By now many of you know the importance of fashion to Poker Chick (this should not be surprising, after all, she is rather vain). One of her many talents is "people watching", which is really just a more polite term for "mocking the unfortunate fashion decisions of others". Still, though Poker Chick is a Superhero she is not immune to the occasional fashion pitfalls herself.

Today, she was playing her classic game of "I have nothing in my closet". The rules are simple: put something on, then take it off. Put something else on, then take that off too. Mix the two together, take off something while hopping on one foot, try something else on, pull a random scarf or belt out with your free hand, grab a shoe with your mouth, and repeat several times. The game ends when you find fashion kismet or the buzzer rings. Why even play? You've got to be in it to win it, baby.*

The buzzer came first today. Poker Chick realized as soon as she stepped out of her building that the skirt she had decided to leave on required completely different panties than the ones she was wearing. She was committing a crime commonly known as "VPL". The horror! Those whispers and giggles you thought you heard all day? They were real. Yep, the joke was on her. The stress was enough to deepen her "laugh lines". But wait, there's a cream for that....

Let's all take a minute to pity our poor Superhero. Or, at the very least, have a nice laugh.

*One of the "benefits" of living in New York is trying to play this game each day with success. Put PC next to your Aunt Ida from Topeka in her knit pumpkin sweater, and PC's a champ! On the runway (er, street) that is NYC? Not so much. At the runway (er, office) that is an Ad Agency in NYC? Still, not so much.
**Anyone get the title yet?

Updates

Well, Labor Day has come and gone and we all know what that means! That's right peeps, the interns are no longer in your neighborhood. Also, Poker Chick was glad to hear she is not the only one with travel horror stories. The airlines managed to piss off a writer at Business Week too.
