Poker night
Posted in General
First watch, 8 bells (12:18 am)

Well tonight we had a little pick-up game of poker, (we being myself and 3 coworkers, JT, MP, and TS). It was a lot of fun, and lasted about 2 1/2 hours. We talked about everything from office gossip (I didn't know there was any) to haggis. They were all admiring this canned haggis I brought home from my trip to Scotland. TS said Capones (a local sports bar) served haggis so I asked "But is it good haggis??" JT quickly responded "Is there any other kind?" (sarcastically, he doesn't like the idea of eating haggis).

MP said it's a good thing there isn't any drinking going on here, because it'd be dangerous - I have several cans of questionable foodstuffs in the cupboard. Apart from the haggis, I have a can mysteriously labelled Fish Balls, a tin of fried eel, quail eggs in water, and (my personal favorite) Preserved Unleaded Duck Eggs. Just the drinking games and dares alone were enough to make them all cringe. :)

In any case, it was a fun day. Played a game of cutthroat racquetball after work, then a game of doubles, then another single game. Our poker game just got over and TS drank too much (he was drinking before he got here), so MP drove him home, and his car is sitting in my driveway.

Well, it's after midnight now, and time for me to hit the sack.
