August 2008: With everyone gunning to catch Cuz, every chip counts. And it showed tonight with a little of everything. We had to change the Constitution. Also to the person that showed James M how to text....were looking for you. A new rule was added that you are not allowed to call "I win" unless that is actually true. Dont forget to thank him as well. 640. Choke on it. Karma is a bitch.
Favorite Food: Ryan's Smokey Bones ribs. And Bob J's ....oh nevermind.
Quote of te Night: Sometimes you take a trip, and end up in Dumbazz
July 2008: Full table tonight with plenty of poker hostages for Ron J. to torture and annoy. Cuz has decided to continue on his beat down on us all by continuing his winning streak, though his lead did shrink a bit. Couple of new rules came out of tonights session. #1: No talking to Bobby while he is on his new and improved painted cell phone. #2: No mutiple foldings allowed in the same hand by the same person. And if you dont follow these new rules, James M is ready to give out Bear Hugs.
Favorite Food: Kathy's Eggs. The three boxes of chicken came in a close second. :)
Quote of the Night: "I said I wanted a card!!"
June 2008: (As reported by John M.) It was good to see super freek was back with us this month because we learned that the Hatachi Magic Wand sounds different if its AC or battery powered. We also learned that the new spray on Nair for Men works alot better then wax. Eight players...five cupcakes...you do the math. Thanks James M. for the spampede....almost as good as "the rib". It doesnt matter how good you play, a bad attitude wins every time. P.S. Ron J and Tim V :see folic symbol: P.S.S. Ed B, hows the dog?
Favorite Food: Chuck's Chicken and Ryan's Super Sugar Dip
Quote of the Night: "Welcome to F*ck Up"
May 2008: Because some of us actually work for a living, this month had us trying something new, an earlier start time. So with that, all players were at the table to begin at 5pm. This really threw off a couple of our players. Instead of being his normal half hour late, Cuz set a new record of 1.5 hours, and Doug B. forgot to show up at all. The first hand had us playing a new game, the (4) four couch shuffle. After Ben Gay and Ibuprofin were passed around to everyone, the cards actually hit the table.....though they were covered in sweat. This month also had some new rules implemented. A win is a win, so it's ok to speed up 727. We should begin holding Tic Tac Toe tournaments instead of Hold-em. No picking colleges at the table. And if you "live by the river, you die by the river."
Favorite Food: Kathy's Pasta Salad
Quote of the Night: "If I came in at 6:30, I would be betting too!"
April 2008: To say the table was all fired up would be an understatement. The night started with the Moon aligning with the Stars and Doug B actually showed up first....with Cuz using the 417 and making it to the table before 6pm!!! James M. was so excited for some card action, he showed up a week early! We had a couple celebrities visit us as well. Arafat stopped by along with "Pippi Longstocking" and "the Queen". We also learned about the word "Straight"....not only does it beat a full house...it is a lifestyle some of our players are aspiring to change too.
Favorite Food: Doug's weenies (really Cathy's...but Doug brought them!)
Quote of the Night: "That wont be the last time a vice cop picks you up"
REMINDER: May's Poker will be from 5pm to 11pm.
March 2008: I think this is the first month that I can say that I am at a loss for words. Though poker is always a good time, its something that never became so personal to the point where I wanted to leave. That is all I have to say about the night. Congrats to Bobby on his new cell phone.
Favorite Food: Gina, please leave James and marry me. Your cookies rock!!!!!
Quote of the Night: "I dont care"
February 2008: Second month into the new year had a nice turnout. Even Ryan G. graced us with his presence. As always, their was some great poker action on the table. We learned that Cuz had to go to a Hand Specilist, though his good hand was still strong enough to cause criminal mischief to Ron J's door. James M. was instructed that not every chip needed to be in it's own package. He also taught us that "6" is good every time. We had to institute a new rule for Doug B, that he is only allowed to drink his own drink. And for a second month in a row John M decided to nibble on marshmellows playing Canteen Boy instead of attending out time honored tradition.
Favorite Food Item: Mike's Sumyounguy
Quote of the Month: She's not my type, she's concious.
January 2008: With a new beginning and a fresh slate, the run for the 2008 trophy began. With John M, Chuck F, and Bob J all at the Flower Convention, the less crowded table saw some good action. Butcher Boy set new records along with some of the best "F your Buddie" to date. Some of the table's discussions covered why Ron J has binoculars in his bathroom, Cuz speeding things up, the luck of James M and the new 45 Second Rule, and "The Rodney Hand".
Favorite Food Item: Ron's balls
Quote of the Night: "I have the straight with the 10-6 too.....but I think I'll play the flush.
December 2007: Full house...literally....tonight with 11 players attending our most coveted of nights. HUGE thanks to Momma Baker for all of the awesome food items. You certainly outdid yourself. Though when you get a chance, we will still need that late note for Bobby. The table saw its fair share of moments tonight. Due to a fisting injury, Cuz was all bandaged up. Their were complaints made of the Southern Nights music selection, along with the shortage of electronics. Some were so upset, they made up excuses of sugar plums.....err...dead guys dancing threw there heads, and left at 9pm. After it was all said and done, a 2007 JMB Trophy Winner was decided. Congrats to Ed B.! Not only are you a poker stud, but you are one handsome man!
Best Food Item(s): Casserole Number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Quote of the Night: See, with Monty leaving, even Baby Jesus wanted me to win.
November 2007: Eight players stepped up to the felt for one of the closest Trophy Races to date. With the cutoff margin for the top four all within grasp, the head games began early. The first sign of tilt came from John M. with the implementaion of the silent treatment, which left only three in the running. Then Bob J. pulled out the big guns with the ultimate weapon, Miss Liz. Even with her distractions the games continued. Then all out assault was brought forth with the additon of "Super Dick" and the gloves were off. Falling first was Cuz, who made it just shy of the 10pm mark. Then Tim V's "tongue lashing" had all the neighborhood girls running. In the end, our chip leader held true, extending his lead to the 5000 chip mark. With one month to go, will it be enough???
Best Food Item: Gina's Chocolate Macaroons.
Quote of the Night: The Church of "O"
October 2007: With the race heating up and the trophy still up for grabs = let the head games begin! Every hand holds the potential of putting you in first, or the back of the pack. Their is one thing the table did agree on, that Errol C. should not be allowed to wander the house unsupervised. :) And with the return of Ryan G., the exploits of the "Pickle Jar Ping Pong trick" were revealed. Of course, we had the pleasure of the "slow role" as well. By the end of the night, we had 3 of the top 4 positions change, and the first place lead dwindling.
Best Food Item: Chuck's junk....err Chicken.
Quote of the Night: I'll just run across the street. NO!!!!!
September 2007: Nine players tonight, even Doug B graced us with his presence. :) With both UCF and the Gators playing, Chuck F became "Check" F. The night was not without controversy, with one player asking for a new rule to be inacted, banning all cell phones at the table. It seems it was causing him to misdeal. John M. was also nice enough to bring with him and show off his big winnings from the slot tournament he won in Vegas. It's not every day you see that kind of craftsmanship in a keychain.
Best Food Item: Liz's Veggie Pizza. Also honorable mention to Kath's Horse Ovaries. Thank you both!
Quote of the Night: Book? More like Comic Book.
August 2007: Eight players tonight, and with the chip race tighter then ever, every hand counted. Of course, we had those that were not up for the challenge, and stayed home for some extra zzzz's....*cough* doug b *cough* Even Cuz was free of the 417. The spotlight was on the east side of the table with Chuck F.talking smack early but this time able to hold on to his loot. But a new rule had to be issued for him stating that he is not allowed to pick his own cards.
Best Food Items: Chucks BBQ Ribs and James M. Macaroons
