I Hardly Knew Her

To: Ash
From: Crecente
Re: Happy White Day!

I managed, with the help of one Dave Thomas, to reinvigorate my monthly poker game. It's sort of laughable to call it a monthly game since we've only actually had it once. Everyone was always too busy to make it and finally we stopped trying. This time around we gathered together a bunch of developers to play poker, reasoning that at least we all have the same sort of conference and travel issues. Tonight's our first game.

Wait a minute, you have a poker game with the recently deceased owner and founder of Wendys?

Do you have a weekly bridge game with the Hamburgler and the Taco Bell dog?

and that's exactly the reason why D&D 4th Edition has online mode. D&D Players have lives, too. They really do.

@Foggynotion:

Hamburgler makes for a shitty guest. I had him over once. He's the asshole who never brings anything, eats your food, and leaves without saying goodbye/you noticing.

East Side Mario is alright even if hes a little gangsta for my tastes. Hes also kind of a dickhead to anyone not from the 'right' part of town (I 80 percent positive he means the east side when he says that).

But above all, dont ever invite Steve. Hes a fucking asshole.

@JohnnytheFuture: It's Friday, what did you expect from me? I am so burnt out.

SPRING BREAK WOOOOOOO *flashes*

I need this break. Maybe my comments will re-approach normality after spring break. Then again, some of my best comments come at 3 AM when I can't sleep.

It's sounds like you're referring to Tori leaving...

@Foggynotion: Interestingly enough.

I've visited the late great Dave Thomas' grave.

He is actually interned in the same mausoleum as my grandfather.

@brent_w: THIS is why I check back on random comments hours after I made them. Now I know details of Dave Thomas burial site. Very cool, your grandfather did something right to be next to that man.

@Komrade_Kayce: At least you didn't talk shit about the grimace's company. I take my shoes off before entering a domestic household!

Are we going to get a progress result or winners post of the poker game? Which developers are coming?

I imagine Dennis Dyack might be awesome at bluffing. Then Peter Molyneux would be the guy who has cards with tons of potential but doesn't know what to do with them.

Personally, I'd want David Jaffe to be there. Win or lost at least you get foul-mouthed bastard to entertain all of you.
