juddling Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 DUBLIN (Reuters) - It started as an April Fool's joke but an Irish bookmaker's proposal to hold the world's biggest strip poker contest will become reality next month. Paddy Power floated the idea as a joke but it generated so much interest -- and hundreds of requests to take part -- that the Dublin-based company decided to organise a contest. So next month, 200 poker buffs will risk baring all in an attempt to become the first World Strip Poker Champion -- and earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The winner will also receive a "Golden Fig Leaf" trophy plus 10,000 pounds in cash. "This will be the most fun you can have with your clothes on -- or off!" Paddy Power said in a statement for the tournament, which will be held in London on August 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's why ESPN's not covering it... You should've pointed out that your comment in no way refers to hi8is. I'm sure his physique is much worse than average.

You know if they catch wind of this there will at least be a mention on a few programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
