I saw the "Mac rips off Stern" thread & got to thinking about how there are very few bits that are truly original. So I figgered I'd do a quick google see what the terms "Bookie Priest" would bring up.

1) 2 of the first 3 hits are from threads on this board :-)

2) From Amazon.com/Japan/Canada/US

"Major League Murder (A Thomas Dunne Book)"

Slots Resnick, private eye and ex-minor leaguer, is asked by Father Quinn, bookie priest from the old neighborhood, to help clear the name of the father of a young black parishioner."


3) From the google cache of a 2003 article Let's Play: A Mindgames Primer

If you really think about it (now be careful), the chapters of history are marked by those willing to say "what if." What if families could enjoy carnival rides in a safe, friendly, non-drunken atmosphere? (Disneyland.) What if we gave children a real live deadly virus wrapped in sugar? (Polio vaccine.) What if this whole Christian thing was really about faith and not about paying off your local bookie priest? (Protestantism.) What if we used their own technology against them? (9-11, Virus/Worms and Microsoft Outlook.) What if they used our own technology against us ... (oh, they didn't think of that, nevermind).

4) From an RPG discussion board Master Tao

Guessing Mike was reading some RPG discussion boards and got the idea?

Isn't Bookie Priest just Swami Murph?
Isn't Jag Bag Just caning, which was Who Ya crapping?
Isn't Steak and Blow Job day just stupid?
Isn't the Real Estate game meant for Eric and Kathy?
Isn't Battle of the Bands the biggest waste of time and money?
Isn't Anne on the wrong station?
Isn't Mike ever wrong? fred?
Isn't it time for a major change?
