I feel the same way about golf.

And speaking of poker - when did Texas Hold'Em become THE ONLY POKER GAME ALLOWED TO BE PLAYED IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE?????

Good lord, this went from a game I never heard of to the only thing people will play, nearly overnight. I was playing cards with my neighbor and some of his yuppie friends; after an hour and a half of Texas Hold'em I suggested we try dealer's choice - perhaps some 7 card stud, or draw, or low hole wild, fuck, ANYTHING DIFFERENT, at least for a few hands. They looked at me like I'd just shit in the middle of the table.

:shake:

probably didn't know how....

I'm calling bullshit on this one. If you were a fan of a team that had won half of the conference titles they'd ever competed for, you'd be a basketball fan, too.

I'd be happy about it, but I still wouldn't really care.

I did NOT watch basketball as a kid. EVER. At any level. Never liked it; never played it. Really.

I lived in CHICAGO during the 90s. Michael Jordan and six championships couldn't give me anything more than a lukewarm interest in the sport (I did go to a couple of games, though, because nobody turned down Bulls tickets back then). Seriously. I just don't care for it.
