I can't say I blame them.
I suppose if I were in their situation, I'd hate them to.
I wasn't going to write about this until Friday at the earliest, but Boy Genius broke the seal, so the secret it out.
It's true, this Saturday night, I will be inside the Playboy Mansion.
Let's get the important questions out of the way (in BG style):
Can I come, too!?!?!?!?
No, sorry, you can not. And asking makes you a little girl.
Why can't I come?
Life is unfair. Why doesn't your hand hold up when you're an 80% favorite on the turn?
How'd you get picked?
Thankfully, the other two contributors here are happily married. That makes those poor saps ineligible to oogle half naked Playboy Playmates in person on a Saturday night.
Yeah, but how'd you get picked?
If you haven't heard, my nickname is "The Luckbox." 'Nuff said.
What the hell are you doing there?
There is a charity poker event, and I am assisting in live online coverage.
Aren't you freaking out right now?
Yes. Half of me doesn't believe this is true. The other half is completely mortified. At least I'll have BG to share my insecurities with. I also know that I won't be the worst dressed (thanks AlCantHang!) and I won't be the best dressed (screw you Joe Speaker!). In fact, I'm shopping for clothes tonight, thankfully I'll have a little help with that.
Can I hate you more now than I did before?
Yes.
Will you have a camera?
I own a camera phone, and I plan to pick up a nice digital camera that they may or may not allow me to bring inside.
Can you get Kendra's phone number for me?
If I get her phone number, you're not getting it. She is a Philadelphia Eagles fan, though, so I got that going for me.
So can I come!?!
You're such a little girl.
Is there anything else you can tell me??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?
No. Further discussion may force my removal from the list, and, frankly, you only get a chance to get on this list about once in a lifetime. I'm eternally greatful to those who made it happen and I promise to bring the best stories and pictures I can back to the loyal readers of Up For Poker.
I am soooooo jealous! I wish I was going :(. You are aware a recent Bunny centerfold and I have the same name. She is a blonde with big breasticles too ;). You will like her.
You better have bunny stories!
You better get your junk confirmed!
You better report about it all here!!!!!

have a ball
So...what WAS Mom's reaction?
Posted by: Jen at March 22, 2006 8:51 PMI must say that I really enjoyed your post.
Posted by: ethan at March 23, 2006 5:44 AMMaybe we can have a consolation party at the Blonde's mansion? You know for all of us 2nd and 3rd tier bloggers. What say you Blonde?
Posted by: Randy G at March 23, 2006 9:46 AMI would gladly have a blogger party at my new house! I don't have a Grotto or tennis court, but on the upside I would never let Scott Baio, Pauly Shore or OJ Simpson to come over and ogle my girlfriends like Hef does.
Better yet, maybe I will invite bloggers who DIDN'T get invited to the Mansion, to my Key West house when I go there for vacation. That is better then visiting me in NJ....
Posted by: Blonde at March 23, 2006 10:01 AMHis mother thinks it's a great opportunity to have a great life experience. As long as CJ does nothing illegal or immoral I'm fine. Dad used to have a membership to the bunny club in Baltimore and we went many times.

Posted by: Lefty at March 23, 2006 11:27 AMPlese excuse an tipos. Im a pretty goof typist but i cn't sea what I'n doin. having gougd my eyes out wuth Stev's chopstiks after readig "Dad,' "buny club" and "mother" in th same post.
Posted by: Jen at March 23, 2006 2:13 PMThe first thing I asked CJ when he told me the news was, "Have you told your Mom yet?". This seems to be a popular question. When he said he hadn't, I figured as much because I would have heard her praying for his sinful soul all the way over here in NJ.
Now I am stunned speechelss by her revelation.
I am lovin CJ's parents.
Posted by: Blonde at March 23, 2006 3:58 PMLucky Guy CJ, all you UFP guys are getting mad hookups from your blogger gig, guess I should have taken it more seriously these past years.
Thanks for the comment Otis, didn't even know you guys were aware of me (though we met in Vegas briefly). I'll keep you posted on prelim event satellites.
Cheers~
Posted by: JohnnyHarp at March 23, 2006 5:07 PMI've been to the Playboy Mansion, many years ago. It was a nice enough place. Of course, I was there to install some temporary phone lines, early in the AM when the bunnies were all still asleep from whatever debauchery they had engaged in the night before. So all I saw was the outdoor patio area, and other workers setting up for the event that was going on that evening. Still, I'll bet you will have fun. Enjoy.
Posted by: yestbay1 at March 24, 2006 11:30 AMI was invited too, CJ. I am one of those happily married folks who can't go BUT .... would have loved too... Had to bring TheMark if I was going and couldn't get things organized to go....that sucks for us!
Have a blast!
