Brief notes
Posted by Rob Herman at April 10th, 2007
- I have new poker chips! They are 11.5g and make a beautifully satisfying click-clack sound when they hit each other. Now I just have to get a game going so I have an excuse to fondle them.
- I do love riddles, and so does XKCD.
I had the pleasure of going to play poker with some of my coworkers last night. I reaffirmed my belief that I am a poor poker player. I was the first player out. One of the other players was kind of bored with the game, so he told me to play his stack. I was also the second player out.
I’d like to think that I’m paying for entertainment. Instead of giving my money to a movie theatre or a bowling alley, though, I’m giving it to my friends. In exchange, I get to play poker for a couple of hours. Sounds fun to me!
Hooray for fondling.
That is all, go about your business.
Although part of me rejoices with you, it is nonetheless a bittersweet celebration for those of us who can enjoy fondling only vicariously or in abstraction.
