Roll Call Time

Two weeks before the next NPP game and it is time for roll call. Let us look at the line up shall we.

Regulars (6): Beerhog, Herbavor, LP, Thai Food, 7Forty7, Nik
Part Time (3): Gridlock, The Wall, ToJo
Occasional visitors (3): Fourputt, CigarJ, BZ84
Possible new players (1): Matchy

The game is in OK shape. For the game to be GOOD - we need 6 regulars and for half the Part Timers to show half the time. We are hanging around a 6.5 player average game

A GREAT game is an automatic 7 players by just picking any day, and Part Timers fighting for seats! That is what we should be striving for.

What I am asking for here is another recruitment push. Find some good guys that play a little poker and get them here.

Once upon a time, a young lad was born without a belly button. In its place was a golden screw. All the doctors told his mother that there was nothing they could do differently. Like it or not, he was stuck with it.

All the years of growing up was real tough on him, as all who saw the screw made fun of him. He avoided ever leaving his house and thus, never made any friends.

One day, a mysterious stranger saw his belly and told him of a swami in Tibet that could get rid of the screw for him. He was thrilled. The next day he took all of his life's savings and bought a ticket to Nepal.

After several days of climbing up steep cliffs, he came upon a giant monastery. The swami knew exactly why he had come. He was told to sleep in the highest tower of the monastery and the following day when he awoke, the screw would have been removed.

The man immediately went to the room and fell asleep. During the night while he slept, a purple fog floated in an open window, bearing in its mist a golden screwdriver. In just moments, the screw-driver removed the screw and disappeared out of the window.

The next morning when the boy woke, he saw the golden screw lying on the pillow next to him. Reaching down, he felt his navel, and there was no screw there!

Jubilant, he leaped out of bed and his butt fell off.

The moral to this is "don't screw around with things you don't understand or you'll lose your ass."

We voted to change the date at the last game.

Let's discuss guys.

Herb, does this mean you will not be bringing 2 new players with you on the 21st? Just double checking.

The original date for the next game was Oct. 14 - but we made the change at the last game to Qct. 21.

Herb cannot make this new date.

Who can make Oct 14 and who can make Oct. 21?

Let's shoot for the 21st or even the 28th if the 21st is really really bad.

I don't think we can go on the 14th, your host almost bought it 3 days ago from a yellowjacket attack; his arm swelled up to over threefold and he's still recouperating. At least he's out of the hospital though. Get well soon, Mike.

Herb, see if you can swap for those days.

Au revoir

I am really going to try and make the Nov. game! I am ashamed of myself for missing so many (or not making any!)
