Do Have[list]
[li]A cool apartment[/li][li]An absentee roommate[/li][li]An urge to socialize.[/li][li]Cable TV[/li][li]A deck of Cards.[/li]Any B.A.D.'s wanna come play with me? Maybe a little housewarming thing? Possibly a little poker, and maybe even some pizza? Do I sound as desperate as I feel? Do I care?
hey, uhh,… JB, where are you located? someone mentioned stanford, and i’m in the East Bay. i know you don’t know me at all, or anything, but if there’s a greater Bay poker event happening tonight, i’d be thrilled. as weird as it may sound.
No, of course, I meant it. The more BADs the merrier. I’ll be in touch if we can get something going. I’m about a 10-15 minute walk from Fruitvale BART, so you’re golden.
Poker night was pretty cool. I finally had to drop out when I was faced with the notion of learning the 100th different variation of poker that evening – Jack and slackergirl’s pal Ron are mightily inventive folks. It was midnight and I didn’t want to do anything but play basic five-card draw or seven-card stud, and perhaps suggest some really ridiculous wild cards when it was my turn to deal.
So lemme get this straight - Jack was lonely, looking for something to do last night, had no one to play with, and you people out of the goodness of your hearts come over and play poker with him - and he takes your money?
