(This reminds me of Calvinball)

I have the right bower and a full house. Since this is still Tuesday, that’s a full Fizban. Everyone has to remove their left shoe and drink a shot.

I’d like to solve the puzzle. Is it “The third word ending in -gry?”

Let’s go shopping…

I’ll take the Sea Ray jet boat for $5,159… I’ll take the his and hers mountain bikes for $600…and throw in the ceramic panda bear for $49. Yes, I’d like a gift certificate for the remaining $17.

The Imperial Japanese Navy comes out of nowhere to assault **keithmac** ’s Far Eastern stronghold, with two Fighters, three Transports landing four Infantry and an Armor, a Battleship to bombard, and a whole mess of Huntresses led by a Demon Hunter. The Goblin is quickly dispatched. The Demon Hunter challenges whatever puny little “leader” **keithmac** has to a duel.

“Sir, I say Sir, I challenge you to a duel!”

_pregnant pause_

“OK… uh… Sir, I say Sir, I take it by your silence that you accept.”

_Demon Hunter focuses_

"OK… uh…

One, two, three…

SCISSORS!"

_Demon Hunter realizes that **keithmac** ’s commander is a giant Two of Spades and thus has no fingers_

“Fine, fuck it.”

_zap_ _slice_

And the battle is won!

I place my trebuchets in Japan–those things just don’t build fast enough–and it’s somebody else’s turn.

I’ll use 3rd level Obfuscate.

Whilst I move about the room unsuspected I will pull up three cards, place them in varous hands, and roll my Dexterity+Dodge to avoid being hit by any on coming pies from **Ulterior** ’s trebuchet.

_wriggling free of the second level of streamers_  
“Trebuchet in Japan, huh. if only I can get hold of the Queen of Swords, or a Bounty Hunter, I’ll be able to play a Togakure Ninja sabotage on the trebuchet!”

Are Bounty Hunters wild in Sabacc?

Anyway, I move a Vorlon Battle Cruiser from Moscow  
to St Petersberg.

**Flamsterette\_X** No,no,no that would be slapping in a sadistic manner, masochistic’s hurt them selves. Now you have to pay a penalty!

I play **New Rule** : Play 3.  
I play **Goal** : Death by Chocolate (If a player has Death and Chocolate, they win).  
I play **Move** : Back 4.

I CFJ on the following statement: “ **Ulterior** commited the Crime of Misrepresentation in eir message on 22-Jan-2003 14:16 UTC.” Argument: E claimed eir play was “Scissors,” when according to R591/5 (Power=1) that play is “Giant Two of Spades.” Evidence: Ulterior’s message. Evidence: Rule 591 as amended.

I build (at planet **Klah** ) and deploy four _Magellan_ (3/3) Scouts.  
I build (at planet **Yavin** ) 5 _Stone_ (4/4) Satellites.

I play my “Go - Safety” card to get moving again.

I play the “Flat Tire” to stop your progress.

Then, because I rolled a 4.56, I get to land on blue.

You must draw four cards, HA!

Wait! I didn’t say “Simpon Says”! You must now draw **eight** cards!

I’m winning! I’m winning!

I play “Spare Tire – drink less beer.”

I play “Speed Limit: 3.0 \* 10^8 m/s”

I play two cards (face down), and announce “Two threes.”

I roll to save vs. caffeine withdrawal.

I offer to trade Sun, Linux, and any one connectivity provider for two of the green or dark blue web sites.

I pick up the modeling clay and start sculpting.

I bet $10 on high, $10 on odd, and $10 on yellow.
