From the "Bite Me!" files, I present to you this week's graph.  Pretty much feels like Week 1, where I just kept getting coolered, rivered and unable to win a flip.  I was going to post the photo of "Coola" again, because let's face it - Jessica Alba makes everything better.  But I'm not sure I won't get punched in the back of the head by Mrs. Fly - I have already been warned.

This is two weeks in a row where I didn't get in enough hands.  When I get back home, I'm going to be grinding like a madman.  Now that 2/4 Rush is here, why not?  I swear there are some easy spots at those games, but I can't seem to make any money, which is always frustrating.  There's definitely a pattern of "cute" play at 2/4 rush - people not 3betting premiums (or even raising premiums pre), flop raising monkeys, people who never fold to a 3bet, etc.  I'm guessing they are relying on enough people not using a HUD to make their exploitable play profitable.  There have been a number of regs who have had problems getting their HUDs to work properly, so maybe.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?

Our friends are Vietnamese.  I spilled the beans because the last meal I talked about was Vietnamese, and today, I'm going to talk about a little known food item called the Vietnamese sandwich.  I never see this in the stores we frequent, so the only time I have it is when I visit our Tampa friends.  This particular place makes absurdly good sandwiches.  I suppose one of the things about being colonized by the French for so long (well, probably the only good thing about being colonized)  is that the Vietnamese bread is just as good as a French baguette - crispy on the outside and light on the inside.  The sandwich we got had pate, head cheese, ham and roast pork.  And some random vegetables - but you all know how I feel about that.  This sandwich was just oozing pig.  Pate is a common accompaniment to a baguette, so I don't know why more sandwiches don't have pate as a spread. Normally, I don't eat a lot of head cheese, but that and the pate really puts the pork flavor of the sandwich over the top.  I had two and a half grinders yesterday - Pig on pig action.  Swine cannibalism, as it were.

When I mentioned "head cheese," I know some of the less mature readers of this blog will be thinking of smegma.  Do you mind?!?  I'm trying to have a serious blog about food here!!!  "Pork," "head," "ham," "spread" and "sandwich" do NOT have to refer to sex!!!  Pigs!

On the other hand, Jessica Alba...
