[QUOTE=Kat] Oh, there’s a game going on? I love games. What are we playing? [/QUOTE] Great. So now people think this thread is a game. I’m getting all this crap thrown at me and you all are amused. You know, I usually stay out of this forum, and now I’m beginning to see why. You people are just mean. ---

[QUOTE=fachverwirrt] Strip canasta. Do try to keep up. [/QUOTE] Sorry. Like I said, I was out of the room for a few minutes. I’ve never played strip canasta before. How exactly does it work? You know, it’s really irritating to only be able to post once every 60 seconds. What if you people get bored while I’m waiting that 60 seconds? What will you do without me? ---

Strip Canasta sounds peachy! Hope you all don’t mind if I win, cause y’all sure don’t want me to lose! Whoooooo! Somebody get me a drink while I shuffle the cards! ---

[QUOTE=fachverwirrt] Well, basically, people get naked. The specifics aren’t so important. [/QUOTE] Well, that’s good, I suppose. Because canasta confuses me. I can never remember what to do with a black three, or how many points I need to put down each hand, and all that sort of stuff. Which is kind of silly, since I’ve been playing canasta since I was 12. Of course, it’s not as confusing as sheepshead, which I’ve been playing just as long, and I forget even more of those rules. I actually prefer poker. ---

[QUOTE=fachverwirrt] Oh, crap. What the fuck do I do now?! Somebody help! [/QUOTE] You talk to me, of course. And maybe get me a drink? There’s that damn 60 second rule again. I’m sorry that you’re being deprived of my scintillating conversation. ---

[QUOTE=fachverwirrt] Strip poker? I suppose that would work. Strikes me as strange, though. [/QUOTE] Well, I’ve never played it that way myself, but I’ve heard of it being played that way. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in a movie. Or maybe it was on a TV show. Oh, yes, it was in an episode of MASH. I love that show, too. ---
