Pingeye3 & Daughter

We had 24 teams tonight trying to win the honorary title of "Friday Night Partners' Tournament Euchre Champions" ... well at least for one week. And the honor went to MaxiMa95 and Pingeye3! They barely squeaked by Katy321 and butchc for that honor. They have been playing together for about a month now and really enjoy each other's company. MaxiMa95 got her name from "what I drive and that I am." OK ... I'm guessing she drives a Maxima ... but the what I am? Maybe a "Ma?" :) Because I know she's only 46 - not 95. Pingeye3 got his name from his golf clubs. I had to ask my hubby if Ping was a brand name of clubs ... he said, "Oh yeah - top of the line!" Pingeye3 is 39 and from Ohio. He's a computer analyst and married with 3 daughters (19, 10, and 3). Hope he's saving up for all those weddings!! MaxiMa95 who's 45 and from Chicago is married with 4 children. She's a hairstylist for now. She didn't let us know what she plans on doing ...maybe it was a bit to risque for print. LOL! MaxiMa95 tells us her favorite website is Westwood! GREAT answer, MaxiMa95!! Pingeye3 likes to golf and fish, while MaxiMa95 tells us she loves to work outside and is building a pond right now. She's also learning about computers. MaxiMa95 says she likes the movie, "The Princess Bride" while Pingeye3 likes the movie, "The Shining" tho he admits he doesn't watch much TV. When I reminded our winners that all this would be in print, MaxiMa95 said, "Hey wait...this is going into print....scratch everything i said!!!!" Too late - we have it all!! Pingeye3 has been playing euchre for about 25 years and MaxiMa95 for about 15 years. When asked how they happened to win tonight, Pingeye3 adamantly admitted, "LUCK!!!!!!!" and MaxiMa95 added, "luck and feelings.....or is that esp? something." MaxiMa95 said she just had to brag about her partner, Ping ... she tells us that he just knows when to call and how to save her!  CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO ... YOU PLAYED GREAT!!!

Are you addicted to Euchre and allowing it to becoming a mood-altering experience? Are you getting as much enjoyment as you could from the game? We can help. It’s not a cure. It’s not absolution, but we can help you control your addiction and regulate a more meaningful online life through chemistry, psychiatry and urge management techniques. All this for only $999.99 and you can eat all you want.

Our "Succor Through Euchre" program is a week-long retreat in beautiful Newark, New Jersey where our technicians will monitor you through marathon online GPP euchre sessions specifically designed to make you believe you have biddable hands, yet you are euchred repeatedly (much like the original site). From your stress level readings and observable reactions, our specialist will design a management program specifically for YOU.

Classes included in the program consist of: "I Do Not Need To Be Connected To The Lobby While I Do My Housework", "Not Everyone Plays Like Me", "How To Accept Not Being The Host", "Ways To Wean Off ICQ", "Excuses That Fly", "Sometimes It IS My Fault", "When To Hesitate", "Sacrifices The Gods Will Accept", and the ever popular sensitivity training, "Babes Are Partners Too".

You’ll never have the same reaction to "skunking" again after you’ve taken our "Back To Nature Walk".

On Sunday, ministers of all denominations will deliver the "Trumpy Avoidance" inspiration talk.

Thursday night features a midnight cruise where you will mingle with other participants and practice that day’s session of "Lobby Talk": "How To Be Friendly", "I Will Not Chatter Aimlessly", "I Think I’m Cute; Do You Think I’m Cute?", "LOL Has It’s Limits", and "Boasting Is For Yahoo".

Many real-life euchre sessions will be sprinkled throughout the week to teach you how to better handle online situations. Our therapists will partner you through ego bolstering sessions with an onslaught of personal inquiries, critical play comments and foul language for the "When To Use The Swift Kick" lesson. Loving couples will join your table during the "Adoration Toleration" course, and our personal trainers will coach you through the correct reactions and comments during "Lag Me? Lag You?".

Our "Art Of Timing Day" will surely enhance your enjoyment of the game and all those who encounter you. You’ll know exactly how many seconds must pass between a stinging loss and your exit to avoid those additional snickers at your expense. You’ll understand the ingratiation of a GGA sprung too early. You will be strictly disciplined from wasting other people’s time by downloading, chatting elsewhere, flipping back and forth to the lobby, studying your cards too long, or holding back your bid until you can think of an equally clever retort to the last comment made.

We will help you select the perfect name and partner type that fits your persona in the "Sending The Right Signals" class. As a special bonus, there will even be a lighthearted afternoon tea featuring past blunders, bloopers, and pickup lines that really work.

Medical Personal will be on hand to prescribe for those needing ongoing assistance. NEzac will have you LOLing off any setback. Vaglala will have you ordering up almost endlessly. Your playing under the influence of Nogain will have your partner’s hair standing on end.

"Succor Through Euchre" is just what you need to make your GPP nights enjoyable and memorable. To make sure you don’t miss out on our next special 4th of July program "Fire works In Newark", send your check or money order for $999.99, plus $299.99 for an advanced three-month drug supply, and $1,299.99 extra if you check-marked the "I want a 24-hour pard during my stay" box, to this newsletter no later than June 15, 1998.

Remember, this program was designed to help enhance your enjoyment of euchre. It will not improve your card playing ability.

We've all managed to make Games People Play one of the top games on the web. Let's try to keep it that way. Don't forget to vote for GPP EACH week. Click here -----> to do so now. Thanks! ;) Please Note: If you have any problems voting Pam will be happy to help you. ICQ her at 612169 or e-mail her at pam@door.net. Take care everyone and may the Euchre Goddesses and Gods smile down upon you! ;)))

We owe an apology to the winners of last week's tournament!!!!  We (this should REALLY be *I*, but I think it only fair to share the blame with the womenfolk too LOL) erroneously had the Consolation Tourney winners posted as the Main Tourney winners, and vice versa, on the Winner's Circle page.  So, without further ado, MaxiMa95 and Pingeye3, WE are sorry WE took a small portion of your glory away last week!!!!!!  Please forgive US!!!!!!

Now that we all know what euchre stands for (see last week's top 10), tell us what a bower is?

10. It's a bar (Specialty)

9. A bower is the jack of trump and/or the jack of the corresponding color.... (Baddly)

8. Prince Charles (Steven2u)

7. One who takes viagra and rogain, and ends up with hair like DON KING. (Antgman)

6. The bowers are 2 cards in the entire Euchre deck that you really don't want your opponents to have! (WKally)

5. A bower is something the computer always deals to players on the other team. (TableTalk)

4. HOW WOULD I KNOW? but when I bid.... one is to be in pard's hand, the other is to be buried (Lynn10)

3. Those are the cards my pard always asks why i went alone without one ... but hey ..it works sometime (gppWHIZ)

2. The UP card on the opponents' deal with a 9-9 score...and I don't have any of the suit! (QuietLady)

And the #1 answer to this week's question, Now that we all know what euchre stands for, tell us what a bower is?

1. If a gentleman bows to the left he's a left bower...If he bows to the right he is a right bower (deda)

Next week's Top Ten Question is . . . The rules for this tournament state that Kaliki will entertain everyone in the lobby while they are waiting for their table assignments, what would you like to see her do to "entertain" the troops? *EWG!* (Please don't kill me Kaliki . . . y'all had FUN with that COW thingie . . . now it's YOUR turn!!! ;opppppppppp)
