I play in a regular Monday night poker game with a very fun group of people I know from Hunny Bunny's car club; and periodically the hosts, Taylor and Tawny, have a Saturday night game.
Well, not so much of a game as a....I don't even know how to describe it. Drunken bacchanalia with cards? All I know is that I've spent more money at comedy clubs and had far fewer laughs. And last night I was laughing so hard at some points that i almost fell off my chair.
The crew last night were:
We played two games, one at nine-ish, the second starting at 12:30 or so. I bubbled out in the first one, because I did what I said I wasn't going to do anymore and go up agains Ryan with only a marginal hand (Yes, Sirf, it WAS TPTK, sigh). I wasn't going to stay for the second game (still on antibiotics for the strep and painkillers for the tooth), but Moose kind of convinced me it might be in my best interest to stay for 1) the entertainment value and 2) he and I were the only ones who could see straight. Around 3-ish it was down to Tawny, Stacey and I (an all-girl payout!), and since Stacey was falling asleep on the table, tawny wanted to go play Karoake and I had to get home eventually, we decided to stop and split the pot. So, 5 hours of poker, 6 hours of laughing, and I made 6 bucks. Life is schweet!!!

I think I've been spending too much time cruising the blogosphere and playing online poker with the bloggers; the vocabulary has become ingrained. But it's a bit wierd when no one at the table has a clue what you're yammering about. Hammer? DQB?? (yippeee skippeee, quad queens!!)

The crew last night were:
- Taylor "Dude! What are you doing??" - stone faced and intimidating on the Monday games, he has far too many bits of South Park, Simpsons and Family Guy memorized, and giggles a bit like a schoolgirl after a few frozen pink drinks. And after last night, I will never be intimidated again, lol!
- Tawny "Velvet Fox" - makes a kick-ass martini...and too be honest I'm glad they were small glasses coz I think she went to the Geo school of bartending *grin.
- Ryan "The Accountant" - why the accountant? Because even after all the substances that were imbibed, he was still able to count the chips and calculate odds.
- Moose "The Tongue" - Oh. My. God.
- Geo "I Looooovvvveee it!!!!" - Funny as hell, more so after a few. Unpredictable as a poker player, except you can always predict he'll bet heavy on 6-9. And he's wicked awesome for an old broad's ego.
- Tom "I folded the flush/boat/straight" - keeper of the timer, it completely fell apart after he left. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, time is an illusion, blind levels doubly so.
- Stacey "I don't know how to play poker, really". Uh huh. She played better inebriated in the second game than I do on normal nights.
