Paul – I hear the finale of SCRUBS might be direct-to-DVD, if they can’t get it on air due to the Writer’s Strike, which might theoretically be ending tonight.I would definitely watch that, even if I miss the entirety of this season. Maybe I’ll get to those DVDs at some point. Who knows?

Having a regular tourney is important for poker, I think. Playing it just every now and then becomes more a distraction than a fun thing. I’m jealous of you.

Ezekiel – I’ll need four or five more days to puzzle that one out. I’ll go with it on Friday.

Anyone else? QUESTIONS!

Josh – I think we have our first question for next week’s Q&A.

Everyone else — I NEED MORE QUESTIONS! Thanks.

Yeah real-life poker is much more fun. My local pub holds a tourney every Sunday night and there is definitely a much better atmosphere and banter, online is just dull. Ouch, that King high straight flush must have been painful. Mine would have to be when I was short stacked, went in with pocket 10s, the chip leader called with pocket 9s but the community ended up 10 9 3 K 9. He was the damn dealer too!

This is a comic related question, but here goes. I have been struggling a lot with Amazing Spider-Man. I hate with a passion what has been done in One More Day and my first instinct was to drop the title. But being the person I am, I decided to give it a shot for a couple of months. It’s ok so far, but it just isn’t MY Spider-Man. MY Spider-Man was married and that was important to me. So, the question is this. How long do you think I should give the new direction a shot?

I guess my instinct is to collect it in hopes of a big payoff (eventually) where the repercussions of the deal with Mephisto will come around or Spider-Man is really in a Matrix-like state being held captive by the Skrulls. And darn it, I am a completionist too and it is hard for me to actually give something up and ruin my “run�, although this wouldn’t be the first time I gave up on Spider-Man.
