what probably came his way? I find it hard to fathom that you didn't monitor the consequences bestowed on Ron Jennings for the shattered crystal.

well he threw us out. I wasn't all that close to Ron as he was 2 years older than me but I could find out if you want.

Then again, I've been at a high school house party where the china cabinet with a bunch of crystal was dumped over in the midst of a fight.

Cooley High?

"Shocked family discovers wrong man in casket at father's funeral"

That'll give em something to laugh about in a few years...

I had to look that up - a 1975 movie - did that happen in the movie?

We had a few keg parties at my parents house, but nothing too excessive. Plus, the drinking age was 18 back then, so it wasn't as big a deal back then as people make it out to be now. Our main party area was a dude's grandmother's house out in the country (well, it was country back then, there's a mall out there now), we would just set up a keg beside the tobacco barn. I set up a bong hit table a few times and charged by the toke. Good times...

You had to look up Cooley High? Don't tell anybody else that...

I guess I missed out on that one.

Absolutely...almost exactly except Ron Jennings was played by a chubby sista in the Stoney section of Chicago.

I have two jokes here:

Sorry to break up your party...




OR

Was you party more like

More the latter in high school. More a hybrid in college. Post-Grad we keep the meetings secret.

Played poker last night, it ended up with me and another guy with the same full house, he also had a spare ace, while I had a spare king. Pot was rather large and everybody thought he had won b/c of his ace kicker, but then one of the guys who had folded early and left to smoke a cigarette came back in and asked what happened, we told him and he informed us that kickers don't apply outside the 5 card hand and that we had tied and had to split the pot. That was welcome news...

Also, the hand I went all-in on at the end, I had a king high flush (I think it was clubs), I knew that only an ace of clubs could beat it, but of course, the other guy had the ace...

surprised no one else at the table didnt know that except the guy who wenyt out to smoke. unless the guy with the ace knew it and didnt say anything

I don't think they did and I don't think he did. I didn't. But when the guy explained it, it makes perfect sense. The hand is 5 cards, nothing outside those 5 cards counts for anything. The thing that threw me was, there were 3 of a kind laying on the table as well as a jack and a queen. I had a jack and a king and was totally focused on the fact that if somebody was holding a queen, I was toast. Right before we flipped I said "If you've got the queen you win", but he flipped a jack as well. Then we just instinctively looked at our other card, I had a king, he had an ace and everybody thought he had won. There was somewhat of an uproar, which is why the other dude asked what happened. When we told him, he straightened us out on the facts. I'm glad he did...

Now that I think about it, the river card was what put 3 of a kind on the table, along with the jack and the queen. I was betting on 2 pair before the river, hoping nobody had the queen (for a better 2 of a kind), so really the river, giving both of us a full house, saved me, b/c if it hadn't flipped on the river, we would've had the same two pair but he would've had the ace kicker that would've beaten my king. Probably one of the few times drawing a full house on the river fucks up your hand...

went to Bobby Flays place tonight. Turns out they just sell burgers - so I drove downtown to eat a burger.

Oh well, parking was free and I only lost $20 on the slots

Gourmet burgers are becoming a thing. Was it good?

I think he's in the shitter here at the Horseshoe. At least I hope that's him.

it wasn't bad but it wasn't noteworthy. I expected better to be honest but it was priced pretty cheap. I thought I end up spending upward of $80 tonight (before I knew they just had burgers) and I spent $25.
