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?

Saturday afternoon I will be tied up checking out the Stanford baseball game, but afterward I imagine slackergirl and I might be tempted to join you.

On the list of “Do Have,” you forgot to list “comfy bed.” I know from personal experience!

I gots time. I was thinking of renting a movie or something tonight. Wanna join me?

I believe Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is playing at the Parkway this weekend ($5 to get in, and they have beer and pizza) I’d be up for that too.

Argh! wish I could join you. My usual Friday night plans got toasted.

I’m going to go work on corrupting my little sisters and do some laundry.

Naked Twister!

Damn it, I’m serious.

Here it is Saturday morning, and only Snooooopy and slackergirl have expressed even the remotest interest in entertaining me tonight.

I want to play some poker! No high stakes - nickels, dimes, quarters - just for funsies.

Email solicitation may be needed.

Although the thought of playing Naked Twister alone with Snooooopy is, er, intriguing, in a disturbing kind of way.

I’m in for naked twister! Just put on your sunglasses, I’m glow-in-the-dark white.

Ginger

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.

Bad-ass Dopers? :smiley:

White Lightning, he is indeed in the East Bay - Oakland kinda near the coliseum.

I think Snoooopy and I will be available around 8ish. If any of the city-folk want to come by we could probably provide some BART transport.

And, yes, we are quite bad-ass :wink:

I guess you don’t mean for people to play via email :wink:

Well, crap, I haven’t lived in the Bay Area since '91.

Left foot green!

B - Bay
A - Area
D - Dopers

We rule.

White Lightning - the more the merrier.

I have sent out a few emails detailing additional begging to come entertain me.

If this thing pans out, I’ll probably have to beg slackergirl to give out directions to my place. I still don’t know Oakland for shit.

I’m totally down. I’m a 5-minute walk from El Cerrito Plaza BART.

that is, if you weren’t just being polite.

amolochko@home.com is me

I’m never just being polite … dick-head.

Just kidding.

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.

Black 8’s, and red kings? Black 8’s and Red Kings!?!

BLACK 8’S AND RED KINGS?!?!!

I think I might have tossed in four of a kind on that hand.

By the way, sorry for taking all your laundry money {insert maniacal laughter here}.
:slight_smile:

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?

You CAD!

:slight_smile:

Jeez, when you put it that way, I am kind of a shit-head aren’t I. But hey, I did pitch in for more than my share of pizza and beer.

We were only playing penny-ante anyway. I think I was up $3.35 at the end of the night.

Oh, don’t you fret. I saved all of my quarters for myself. Got 14 in my pocket right here.
