Sir Monkeypants has a new poker game going, and tonight is the first night, and it’s at our house. And you can tell these guys are total newbies because a) so far only Sir Monkeypants and I have been hovering over the snack table, featuring totally awesome Pirates Of The Carribean themed peanut M&Ms, and don’t they know that it’s all about the snacks?, and b) they didn’t start playing until three minutes ago, despite the 8pm start time, by which time even my gaggling girlfriends and I have usually managed to get in at least three hands, fitting them in around the snacks and chatting.
I’m going over there now to clean them all out. I can smell the new shoes already.
They were total newbies .. I ate almost all of the snacks single handedly and ended up the big money winner as well. You go buy yourself something pretty.
I clearly remember eating most of the M&M’s myself, and having a couple cookies to boot. I blame the others for not eating the chips. The beer and snacks we’re very tasty. However, we won’t talk about such meaningless things like winners and losers.
Okay, technically you’re right. You snarfed the M&M’s, next time there will be better bowl placement, and had cookies.
But really when you talk about poker night it’s always about the giant mythical beast that you slayed and how you were the big hero. Reality doesn’t necessarily have a lot to do with it. Especially when you’re crowing to your spouse.
