Poker Conversation Template
Saturday, June 16, 2007
I used to love to play poker. Now I hate it. Not only has televised poker made it one of the worst things in the world, it has turned some of my friends into poker robots... and I ain't no friend to no robot. (Except the roomba, which died after only 5 months of service. It was under warranty though, so they are sending me a new one. Is robot warranty the same as robot reincarnation?) My friends always like to tell me about "this one hand". There is not a phrase in the English language that raises the hair on my neck more than "this one hand." Every poker story follows the same inane template that makes me want to shoot myself in the face:
Hey you won't believe this! I was playing poker last night!
Oh, great.
Yeah. There was this one hand...........
I got
. It goes around the table 
.Then the flop came
.So now I have
.So then some more
.Then the turn came
!Now it's
andI have
.The best this guy could have is
.But then
!!!So finally the RIVER comes.
.Now I have
!.We flip them over.
He has
!I have
!The result of this made me:
A) Happy
B) Sad
Oh.

The cards are blank because it's a template. It is also what the cards look like in my head when someone wants to tell me a poker story.
I keep an extra pair of boots in my work truck just in case I get my feet wet. If I took Alli I'd have to keep a whole wardrobe.
