This one should get fun. Phil "The Unabomber" Laak -- the goofy poker star boyfriend of actress/poker champ Jennifer Tilly -- is now about 25 hours into his attempt to break the record for the longest poker game. Officially it's 72 hours but someone did 79 hours last year that wasn't Guinness-sanctioned but still part of lore, so Laak is going for 80 hours. That would have him finish up at 7 p.m. PT on Saturday.
I've got a fun AOLNews.Com piece up about his quest. He's an odd but entertaining duck and his discussion of such things as the weird T-shirts he has planned, his craving for mint chocolate chip ice cream and his discovery -- and repulsion to -- catheters are all classic Laak. Tilly chimes in a little, too.
In addition, I've posted in the podcast feed my 20-minute chat with Laak and Tilly, who as you can see was there when I went to cover the thing on Wednesday evening.

There's not much to see, but more than 800 people are watching anyway -- and complaining in the chat about how boring it is. Silly.
