Anyone who brings me chocolate is welcome. But don’t let them convince you we all sleep in trees, Falcon. And stay away from the monkey with the funny look on his face, he’s a bastard. Oh, Mully. Strip poker is my game. Who else is in? ---

This is shaping up to be quite a game. Since it appears all of us are skilled and cheating, I think we need to band together and bring in some outside victims to line our pockets. Let’s pick up the game after the weekend. I have a previous engagement to go and plunder the magical mango trees over on the northshore. ---

Good idea. We might want to saunder over to the crush thread and invite those we most want to see nekkid over to our island. Just a thought. ---

Hah! And I know exactly how good you are at Hearts, soul. However, while I have usually been fairly drunk at the time, I am pretty sure strip card games start with the participants beginning clothed. Not that I’m complaining or anything… 😉 ---

Hell,Falcon, I was at NYC Doperfest 2000 Redux. I ain’t complaining, I just don’t want the Hearts virgin here to think we’re taking advantage of him. Don’t worry, soul. We’ll be gentle. ---

I want in. If I can’t participate in this naked action, I just won’t be able to live with myself. Shuffle and deal, papa needs a new pair of palm trees. ---

I’ll shuffle, but someone else has to deal. I will not have anyone accusing me of cheating. ::Looks around the table:: on the other hand… ---
