Thou hast lost an eighth!
okay this might not actually count as a "daily smile" but I love the cartoonist.

Nope it's a joke article from a site that publishes sarcasm articles.
Like the onion or cracked.
I'm sure Eye will now move it to to the political section.
Now on with cartoons about my daily life.

I just love word-games.
I made up this one this afternoon :
What are players of the RPG 'Baldur's Gate' called ?
"The Bee-Gees".
"It's as stupid as it can get !"

I've been binging a gameshow called tenable recently, mainly because the host is the wonderfully entertaining and smile-inducing Warwick Davies, you know, the 'person of small stature' or 'vertically challenged' guy from pretty much all your favourite movies from Return of the Jedi, Willow, Labyrinth, Phantom Menace, Harry Potter, etc etc.
I wont post a whole episode of one & like most gameshows there's more stalling than playing most of the time which can be frustrating, however Davies' gags and general persona are usually worth the irritation.
What I will post is a classic game-show lol moment, but one you likely haven't seen before on all the many tired old compilation videos of dumb gameshow responses:
While most gameshow dumb answers you can kinda see where the error comes from, and usually can sympathise if someone hasn't heard of someone like, I dunno, Ed Sheeran or Lionel Messi, this lady though is displaying some next level knowledge avoidance skillz (and the look on her team-mate's face is priceless).

Sometimes, I read replies.
Sometimes, I just wonder.
Sometimes, I just don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sometimes, it's all of that.
In the Dungeons & Dragons Online forum, someone has been asking :
What are "Shoods" for?
What he meant was "drow shoods".
The answer to his question is this : https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Fragrant_Drowshood
It turned out to be "drow's hood" what he was looking for. A mushroom.
So, then, as I realized that, a song came into my mind :
"I shood the sherrif …"
Which was the point at which I thought :
This person has clearly played far too much
- Counterstrike
- Call Of Duty
- GTA
- shooders in general.

The world of poker has changed a lot it seems, lol. Check this out:
The current fad in the poker world is to now gamble on the gamblers:
https://youstake.com/
What happens is that the poker player advertises that they want to do a bunch of tournaments, at say $400 buy-in per tournament over maybe 50 tournaments. The problem is they don't want to use their own cash, mainly because they haven't got that kind of cash. Not many people have.
So they sell themselves. Not quite like a prostitute, more like a company on Wall Street sells shares of a company's profits. They invite the general public to buy a share of them in exchange for an increased payback and a share of any winnings.
The guy who came third in one of the recent WSOP main events, netting a cool $2.5m actually didn't net that 2.5m, he only netted a small percentage of it. The rest was divided up into a whole raft of 'shareholders'.
And this has been going on for years, but only recently has this been opened up to the public, as it were, on a mass scale.
So no longer do you need to gamble at poker to win at poker, you can now win at poker from the comfort of your own investment studio, much like watching a football match or horserace, only your bet will carry over to multiple racedays on the same horse.
A whole new industry has sprung up facilitating the buying of stakes in poker players, creating a whole new strata of middleclass middlemen. Effectively creating a second level of rake.
So the modern game looks like this:
Investors buy stakes in a player - stake facilitators take a percentage - poker player takes the remainder - poker player plays poker - casino takes a percentage rake - poker player wins something at some point - poker player pays off all the investors - poker player canvasses for backers for the next season of games.
The poker world has become the exact opposite of the concept of using the game to get rich so you can tell people to fuck off, it's now become a case of getting rich to tell people "hey, come join me and a whole industry of financial transactions"

High level Bridge has been doing the same thing for decades, but not for quite so high amounts; it's not 'glitzy' enough for TV I guess!!

Yes! I've always said Bridge would make for good television. Well, I'd watch it anyway, assuming they had some interesting characters/production values.
