No no no no... it's BECAUSE OF all that ... or at least that's my theory
... of course that's gotta be my theory 'cuz I was out drinking with him
the night before, but I went to sleep and finished 82nd out of 54 players
or something like that. Eric similarly went to sleep and finished
poorly. Jeremy was going on no sleep in 48 plus hours and finished 5th.
The conclusion is obvious ... get very drunk and don't go to bed the
night before ...
Standard Disclaimer:
Peter, in a drunken stupor, traded away 15% of his action to the other
alt.drunken.bastards, thus reducing his expected gain by not sleeping.
Us other folks though, thought it was pretty cool. Right Eric?? :)
The full benefit of the drunken sleepless evening cannot be realized by
trading your own action away. :)
