-Table manners and poker slang

It's funny. Between having this info up and the piece in New York Mag, I feel for the first time like it's really happening. I guess I sort of didn't really believe it before.
But the funniest thing of all is that for some reason, this blog has been translated into Japanese, and if you translate the translation back to English, the title of my book becomes "the donkey * girl guide where is bad to the poker: Everything which is needed in order to defeat the Japanese boy!"
I need to trademark the Donkey Girl Guide -- and fast!
