A New Definition for the Phrase 'Card Sharp'

Once again, feeble promises to update Bitchinville have gone unkept, and I've lost the ears of whatever public I once had, I reckon. Perhaps it's for the best? At any rate, won't you please take a peek at the website of raconteur/magician/true original Ricky Jay? It's been entertaining yours truly as of late and I recommend Jay's mini-radio programs, in which he holds forth on subjects such as midget entertainers and educated swine, for particularly edifying diversion. (Note: The subject line for this entry is a reference to Jay's ability to pierce the skin of a watermelon with a playing card thrown from across the room. I must also note that I've never actually seen Jay do this; the idea alone is interesting enough for me.)
