cards

[Lefty]

Assuming life is like a huge card game, have you noticed that you, or someone close to you isn't always playing with a full deck....if so, can you explain or at least tell the story?

 

[GamerBear]

If life was a card game I'd be losing all the time.

"God does not play dice with the universe, instead He plays an intricate game of His own devising; which might be likened from the point of view of any of the other players (ie everybody) to being involved in a complex game of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time"

-- Good Omens.

If life is like a game of cards, I'll see your 10 and raise you 5.

"God does not play dice with the universe

"Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen."

Stephen Hawking


As far as the original question goes, I've known a few people who are trying to play poker with no aces in the deck. Sometimes their stupidity leaves me scratching my head.

 

[hungrybrownbear]

Cards? All I need is NineOfClubs and I'll be set!

 

[Lefty]

braex, sadly its' only a seven but if you can raise it five, count me in...farther in than I've ever been


hung, careful what you wish for son, sometimes the cost of the ante is more than the value of the pot

OK everybody, ante up, new deal coming around

 

[hungrybrownbear]

Oh Lefty, always looking out for me!

 

[Entity]

If life is like cards, i hope to god it's not hold'em cuz i've been doing so shitty lately in that game...

 

[Lefty]

Hey entity, 'hold um' is a game they play down in Texas.

Out here in the Californihornias, we prefer to play STUD or sometimes a little Hi-ball/Lo-ball to get the games going. So, get your ,er um, ante up 'cause a new dealer is coming out.

 

[ChickenGuy]

LOL!!!! - we could all play a card game of some sort here!

[hungrybrownbear]

You left out the most important one! 9OfClubs!

:3

 

[Lefty]

son,

hung, there was a deliberate misdeal, you might find 9 of clubs in your hand so to speak,,,thats what friends are for. tomorrow is a school day so you be home early to get your bed (alone i might add) rest.

 

[hungrybrownbear]

Alone? I wish! I have 2 other roommates...

 

[Lefty]

hung... roommates should equal alone. unless you have one of thse socal roommate with privileges things going.

In which case its a misdeal and we start over ....ante or 'fess up you dog.

 

[hungrybrownbear]

You could be my roommate.....!

 

[Lefty]

Woud'n't work hung lad. There we would be during my declining years, you pissed because you are stuck with a grumpy old fart that could barely get it up or remember what to do with it when it did get up. Me, insanely jealous every time a male even gave you the eye. Then there is your current infatuation with 9 of clubs or whoever replaces him in your agile young pornographically lustful mind.

The offer is wonderfully kind but practicality rears its filthy pedophillic head and says NO. It is better for us if I keep lusting for you in my mind and you keep holding those daddy sex thoughts in yours.

The concept of living with you turns me way on, the practicality goes the other way. I am so flattered and horney by this uh this this uh...

SCENE FROM THE FUTURE:
Damn, I am horny and don't remember why...uh I'll go pee and see if I left myself a note,,uh yeah i could do that but where did they move the bathroom door? Let me think...oh shit, my grandson hung and his beau are gonna be here soon so I better hurry...uh...hurry for what? and what are these damn little blue pills for? shit why am I so hard..oh yeah I remember, residue of my afternoon nap woodie...Damn, Hung must be jerking in the bathroom again nes been gone so uh uh time for my flomax and a nap...I think...uh..uh (nods off and pisses all over himself and bathrobe)

 

[hungrybrownbear]

gee, Lefty I was using the term "roommate" innocently. I swear!

But really, it wouldn't be pedophilic cuz I'm over 18!

And do keep in mind that I find men to get more attractive as they age!

(Oh but NineOfClubs = )

You really are the cutest thing ya know!

hungrybrownbear

a gift card for you​

 

[braex27]

...somehow this conversation has moved away from if life were cards...

...maybe you could cut cards, Hung? If you pick the 9 of Clubs, he's all yours...

DISCLAIMER: I neither know nor represent NineOfClubs in any capacity and have no authority to offer him as a prize in any games of chance, least of all cutting cards.
