Moneymaker Millionaire Finalists

[Nikita]

Just a quick article about the finalists in the moneymaker millionaire. I found the only interesting profile on there was the one about KURN.

[Kurn]

They distilled a lot of information to get that. While I am *from* NJ, it has been 33 years since the last time I lived there. If I win, maybe the taxman will look for me in the wrong State.

I'll be sending them a photo today. After that...be afraid, be very afraid.

[eejit101]

as predicted - you are the oldest there, but 2 are in their 50's too

[Kurn]

still 11 profiles unposted. I'm surprised at the age distribution so far.

Median 32.5, mean 34.1. that's at least 7 years older than I expected.

I like it, other than your lame Moneymaker ass kissing.

Cool about the 5 languages (what are they?) and VERY cool about the motorcycle!

[Kurn]

English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese (the last two are pretty minimal, though) and of course, some Klingon.

I can also read Portuguese with some accuracy and I undestand a bit of spoken Italian, particularly the dialect of Naples, but not enough to survive there for long.


I'll probably use some of my winnings to buy Rosetta Sone to improve my Japanese and maybe learn Arabic or Farsi.

[eejit101]

just buy china, save time

[X-Longshot-X]

China=Japanese???? im confused but i thought japan was another country?

[jillaj]

What are they teaching you guys over there?

[PShabi]

Kurn = Easy Rider = very cool indeed

Take a load off Fanny!

[Tony Cheval]

I think David Juhart will be my favorite....to finish 2nd. Horse trainer from Slovenia, Lippizanners perhaps?

[Kurn]

The club I hung out with and went to Sturgis with had an interesting tradition. Out on a run, or just generally partying anywhere outdoors...1st guy to crash got set on fire.

Funny thing was, it was almost always the club president.

[PShabi]

If you don't mind answering...

how old were you when you made the bike trip?

[BrianSwa]

congrats kurn, after your last run you deserve this. I hope you have a good trip and get real deep. If you don't have a good time for us.

[Kurn]

First trip to Sturgis I drove the club's van, 2nd I rode my Sportster. It was '81-'82, so I was 31 for the 2nd one.

[Kurn]

Thanks, Brian. I'll have a bit of a cheering section there unless TP, Boobie and a couple of my old 2+2 buddies are all starting the PCA on Day 2.

I do, however, have a lot to live up to. After all, I did say this:

[Talking Poker]

Doh - I'm Day 2 (Saturday).


BTW - I didn't post it, but about a week and a half ago, I randomly decided that I'm going to make the tv table of the PCA. It's really just a formality of doing it now.

[eejit101]

i hope to god u bring that home kurn.

[drewjax]

Is there gonna be a good way to railbird this? Might Stars have a live radio feed, or something similar. Gonna be way cool. Take it down sir.

[drewjax]

checkout this thread. Our boy Kurn getting some love!

[Kurn]

My favorite stat is 3 wins, 0 2nds. I get anybody in this field HU and he's toast.

[omahilo]

some guy from FCP said this, so you are earning respect Kurn. Also Drewjax followed up saying he agreed

[eejit101]

the joys of the pokerDB.

some of those guys are either new, dont play tourtneys on stars, or suck.

you got that kurn

[New Guy]

Dude you are a stud!!! Win that bitch!!!!

[Kurn]

1) I can't believe 11 qualifiers still haven't submitted answers to the questionnaire. Do they not check their e-mail? The greedy part of me wonders if maybe some (all?) of them are under 18 and maybe I'll only have to beat 15 people for the million.

2) I love the comments in the full contact forum. I personally am looking forward to having a bunch of anonymous no-lifers post endlessly on what an idiot donkey I am to even have had the chance to win a million bucks, let alone actually win it. It must be the very definition of "laughing all the way to the bank."

3) man, that KURN guy looks like he belongs being locked up.
