Poker Game Results

Huzzah,

What a great game and an even better turnout on a cold and windy winter night in late January. We had fourteen people around the table, twelve of which were playing some serious poker!

Bullit has finally given up the title of the BOOBY PRIZE KING ( he only had the trophy for the first player out for almost six months)! Thersea Sample now holds that honor.

Wow, we're not out of IRISH MIST now! Several bottles accompanied the players through the front door. It was good to see Roland again. Roland is looking for a new job! Bullit's broken ribs were hurting him somewhat. He had a picture of his grandson with him as well. Everyone selected their Civil War envelopes and stationary. It was a fun evening.

Men, it seems we have a dancer in our midst. Irish Brandon can dance! Well, be calls it dancing! Other might call it something else, but whenever he won a hand, he danced!

Oh, by the way, Brandon won his first tournament and walked away with the powder. Dan came in fourth and took home the six Campbell's soup mugs and soup assortment. Sgt. Martin and Pvt. Bullit took the 'caps" and cartridge rolls as prizes.

I will place the pictures of the Poker Game over at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/muddyriverbattalionmedical/. Feel free to join this group. This is a site I opened a couple of years ago on Yahoo as a secondary site for our Members MSN site. I am out of storage space on the MSN Members site. Consequently, I can't post the pictures to MSN until I remove some items from other MSN sites I frequent.

Yahoo allows me to upload 30 megs vs 3 meg on MSN.

The next Poker Game will be on the 24th day of February, the same day as the MIB breakfast at Union Station which begins at 9:30 a.m.. SET THIS DATE ASIDE NOW! The game will begin at 7:00 p.m.
.
I can't promise, but I believe a tent will be the first prize for the game in February, A wooden lantern may be the second prize and one pound of ffg powder will be the other prize.

Food for the next game will be" TACO NIGHT". So bring your favorite sauce and toppings. I'll have the soft drinks, BECKS, DOS XX , TECANTE, Margarita Mix and tequila too.

Men, if you haven't attended one of these games/evenings, mark your calendar and show up. You'll have fun. I hope to see you at either the MIB Breakfast at Union Station or the Poker Game or both on February 24th

YOS,
Hospital Steward Bair
