[QUOTE=Taber] That sounds awful, and incidently is my excuse for being late too. Don’t you know you need someone to suck out the poison? not it [/QUOTE] Actually, I think my friendly midget friend Jorge should be along any moment now. He’s used to doing such dirty work for me, and is well known for being immune to most natural poisons. Curiously, he’s also deathly allergic to all forms of alcohol, so please don’t allow him to sniff around the bar. Speaking of booze, what’s on tap, my good hosts? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] 😕 Is this a party boobytrap? 😕 Sure! I don’t know how to play poker – do you know how to play spite and malice? That’s a good game. [/QUOTE] Well that just isn’t right to make such an accusation, of course it isn’t a boobytrap. Was a perfectly honest straightforward question. Not like I was going to suggest 52 card pickup or anything. I could teach you to play poker if you like, I enjoy texas hold-em myself. Although I’m sure I’ve heard of spite and malice but don’t remember the rules, if you write them down for me so I have something to reference we can give it a go. ---

Sure, and here’s a beer for\*\* Diomedes\*\*, you two should talk. He could tell you all about his adventures, and I’m sure you’d respond with the appropriate amount of excitement and questions, you two would have a nice complementary relationship. ---
