Two more tournaments left in June for the quarter. I will be there this Thursday to bust the NFM party…been going on a little too long. ---

I guess I could coast to the 2nd qtr win, but I am not about to do that. However, I really want that bottle of McIlhenny from that crying baby. The 4th of July Bloody Mary will be just that much better with a couple of shots of SDMB tobasco. ---

Planning on being there - depending on the weather. Massive storm is knocking on our doors here in the westside of the Cities. ---

MY Aim List is non-existent tonight. I can still IM people, I just don’t have my list. Is this the case for anyone else? I plan on being there tonight. In fact I’m “there” now. ---

Okay, the tournament just finished, but before I could copy down the placements, the list disappeared on me. I know I won, and Oslo finished second. I believe Root was third (or was it red?) and Yeti was fourth. I think Meeko was fifth. After that I really don’t know. fubbs, I hope you can retrieve the standings for this. Or that everyone can remember where they finished. ---

**notfrommensa** ’s order is correct (if he’s done editing it). > [@MentalGuy](#): > > I believe Root was third (or was it red?)… That’s a perfectly understandable mistake. I only played like I was 11th. ---

I know what you guys are thinking: “Why the hell is Oslo posting in this thread at three a.m.?” Well, because I’ve been barfing and squirting for the past four hours, and I am not going to sleep until/unless I feel a little better. So, if I’m not around at game time, it’s because I’m still violently ill, or actually expired, in which case Meeko can have my chips. ---

We a TMI post within the POKER thread. Who knew? Drink plenty of H20 so you don’t get dehydrated. Hope you feel better and looking forward to seeing you tonight. ---

Bump, Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m busy preparing my acceptance speech for the bottle of tobasco sauce. yummy. I have a feeling that Oslo has absolutely no use for tobasco sauce at this point, considering his last post. ---

Looking pretty unlikely - half-hour sleep at six am, another half-hour at noon, and another half-hour at five. I’m on the verge of hallucinations… ---

Don’t make yourself any sicker, but I’ve had some of my best results while playing hurt. I think my first win may have been when I was recovering from that concussion. ---
