In a hard fought battle, AlwaysMe and Rjshama won out over ggpWhiz and Jrxly, the last tourney's winners. Their first reaction was one of shock! Alwaysme, "WOW!!! Thanks! Hey pard, we won!!!" Rjshama, "Yea!!!!" AlwaysMe, "You know pard, it's a good thing we didn't know that was the final game or we would have been way nervous!!!" RJ, "I was thinking it must be pretty close and that they were going to cream us!" Well, Alwaysme and Rjshama weren't the creamees, they were the creamers! ;) Their winning secret was "We were warming up!!! Getting our butts kicked before the tourney began!" They had a few tips for success to share with us. RJ stated, "Laugh a lot and have a good pard!" While AlwaysMe told us, "I believe *euchre* means you never have to say you're sorry to your pard . . . it shows you are doing your best!!!" AlwaysMe, who is from Ohio, told us a little about herself, "I am 43 . . . love to play euchre . . . can play spades, but euchre is more fun. I am a grammie of two grandsons . . . and I think my pard is awesome! I do love to surf the net too." Her nickname was derived from the fact that she always tries for that loner! RJShama, also from Ohio, explained, "I am 41, no grandkids yet. I program AutoCAD for a living and I play guitar for fun. I have 2 Taylor acoustics." RJ's nick is also his login at work . . . Kaliki suggested we all head on over there and log into the system using his logon name!! ;) He also quipped, "I would've scanned a picture at work if I'd known my pard was going to play so well!" He did issue what seemed to us like a challenge, "I'll get a scan ready for next week!" AlwaysMe and RJ have only been playing together for one week, "We just clicked! We have lots of fun when we play . . . we joke around when one of us gets us euchred!" They were excited to win and made several references to their 15 minutes of fame!! Well, now that they're on here and in the headlines, we hope their fame lasts more than 15 minutes! Congratulations you two!!! ;)) |
CAT AND MOUSE AWARD . . . Errrrrr . . . make that CAT AND BIRD award ;) Goes to ChesrCat and BigParrot for all they did to keep everyone in the lobby entertained while waiting for their next game.
QUICKEST LOSERS or FIRST OUT OF THE TOURNEY AWARD . . . Goes to Meis9 and whodafan..they won their first game and came close to winning their second and still managed to be the first 2 to leave the room. (They also receive the LESS of a LOSER AWARD . . . afterall, they did win their first game!!!)
The ONLY YOUR PARTNER WOULD KNOW or one of the ONLY QUOTES WE GOT ALL EVENING AWARD . . . Goes to jrxly, who said..."whiz also never remembers how many times he gets euchred either"
The NIGHT'S UNFORGETTABLE QUOTE (Though we have TRIED to forget it!! LOL!!!) . . . Came from Menz who commented, "Make love, not war . . . or get married and do both!!"
This Week's EXPLANATION AWARD for the last tourney's BEST TYPO goes to Kaliki for trying to explain. "Orge . . . Ogre . . . so close . . . LOL!"
(Jo's rationalization) Well, there were a LOT of funny things said in the lobby tonight BUT we had a slight technical problem . . . okay, it was REALLY a major screw-up!! The good news is . . . the new server is a LOT faster!! The bad news is . . . the new server doesn't allow cut and paste!! The other good news is . . . we knew that and were (or thought we were) prepared to deal with it!! The REALLY bad news is . . . we had problems with our solution to the problem!! We apologize for not writing down (by hand . . . yes, the old, fashioned way) all the GREAT quotes!! We promise to have all the kinks worked out by next week!!
Okay . . . here we all are . . . or most of us anyways . . . at the new server . . . ever see so many new names . . . have to figure out who everyone is all over again!!!
(Kaliki's rationalization) Guess what we discovered tonight . . . you definitely can't copy and paste there. :(( Guess what else we discovered . . . we don't understand how to work that clever new program that was supposed to take care of the problem. :(( Guess what that means . . . we need all of you to remember those clever and witty things you said tonight . . . and say them again next week, when we hope to be copying and pasting with the best of 'em.
(Both of us, hoping y'all can help with a solution) If anyone knows of a great program that is cheap and will allow us to log the lobby chatter, that person just might find themselves mentioned and applauded right here in this very newsletter next week :)) Send all info to: EuchTourney@geocities.com . . . any help will be appreciated! ;))
We sure missed everyone the last coupla weeks, but hope you all had a great holiday season and that your new year brings you everything you want it to and a whole lot more! 1998 has already brought some new changes to GPP. Like a new server that is MUCH faster . . . with a LOT less crashing going on! We hope this is just the beginning for the improvements you'll see in GPP!! Anyway, we just wanted to thank everyone for their kindness and never-failing good humor . . . we believe that euchre players are the funniest, nicest, and bestest people on the web! We'll see y'all next week :))))
Next week's Top Ten Question: As a euchre player, what was (or should have been) your number one new year's resolution???
Why is euchre better than sex?
10. Because your partner can "order it up". (Bare)
9. Because you don't exactly know how long it is going to last but you are going to "get there" eventually. (attagirl)
8. Pard says it lasts longer. (Always) Variations: USUALLY but not always depends who your partner is . . . EUCHRE LASTS LONGER. (fnchurch) Because we can complete in 15 minutes what takes them an hour!!! (NewWoman) A game of Euchre lasts for more than 5 minutes. (MiLady401)
7. My partner's reason . . . lol . . . lol . . . YOU NEED BRAINS TO PLAY EUCHRE. (Athena1)
6. Because you do not get all sweaty (roflmao)....but you can still smoke like you just had sex...lol (MRBoppie)
5. Euchre's better than sex because it never has a headache. (menz)
4. Euchre will get you through times of no sex better than sex will get you through times of no euchre. (ScrOll)
3. Um... 'cause I don't slip up as much??? :-D (Steven) Variation: Because even us small-timers can occasionally get lucky and satisfy our partners :) (INNBillH)
2. When u do a loner in euchre u can hear applause....when u do a loner in sex ...where is the applause. (alwaysme) Variation: Because sometimes you can DO "A" LONERRRRRRRRRR....... (Ldyblue)
And the number one answers
. . .
1. Sex, win or lose you are still in the same position . . . and with euchre . . . you win you keep climbing : ) LOL! (Jenn26)
TIED with: At least at euchre
if I disappoint my pard I don't have to face them. (meis9)
