Remember Yogi Berra??

Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra turned 82 a few weeks ago. This man has done more to advance the English language than anyone since Noah Webster and his dictionary. But question: Is Yogi the master of the malaprop or a philosopher par excellence? Here are some of his best quotes so you can decide:
"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
"The future ain't what it used to be."
"It gets late early out there."
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
As convoluted and garbled as many of these lines are, Yogi's genius lies in the fact that somehow they make perfect sense.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
