I’m tired. I’m gonna have a drink, and the rest of you can play. I’ll just watch.

Alright… 😉 You will be in awe, I assure you.

:busts out some moves:

Huh? What’s this about poker? Ha! Let’s play, I’ll make sure all the ladies lose… well, except for maybe **Hockey Monkey**.  
[/QUOTE]

Hey! How dare you! I can indulge in self-deprecation, but you sir, cannot insult me! Harumph! I demand an apology! Now! I thought this was going to be a good party, but nooooooo. Getting insulted is not high on my list of good times.

Well, root beer, if you’ve got it. Or ginger ale. Thanks!

When do we start with the naked canasta? I don’t know the rules.

It appears that we’re playing poker now. Not really my choice.

Although if anyone wants to start a game of strip cribbage, I’m totally up for it.

Poker?

Hm…I don’t know. There’s too many random elements in it for me to enjoy. I prefer games of pure skill, especially puzzles. I’m not quite on the level of doing the NY Times crossword in pen yet, but I’m getting there.

[QUOTE=dnooman]  
I seem to have passed out in the bathroom for several hors. Why didn’t anyone at least kick me? I mean there I am on the floor, snoring like a polar bear, and nobody thinks to say anything…eh, nevermind. What did I miss?  
[/QUOTE]  
I kicked you, nudged you, yelled at you, pulled on your eyelids, dropped cold water on you, and took your shoes off so I could burn your feet with a hot poker. However, you didn’t awaken. ☹

How hot the poker is would depend, I would think, on who wins. Or, rather, who loses.

Allll riiiiight… so I can I play poker too? I’m pretty good, I could even be the dealer. I know five card draw, five card stud, lowball, Texas hold’em, and crazy eights. Wait, is crazy eights a poker game? I know five card draw, five card stud, lowball, and Texas hold’em.
