Tis and JimboLimo Celebrating Their Win! ;)

There were 22 teams wanting top honors tonight in the Friday Night Partners' Euchre Tourney, but Tis and pard won again.  This week, her partner was JimboLimbo.  They beat out ogrejim and Lynn10 in a fast-paced game. Jimbo and Tis have been partners about nine months now.  Tis also uses the name Latisha. Tis, who is 27, tells us she was born to be wild ... and now lives on the edge.  She's not married (this week), but is still waiting for Tom Cruise's proposal.  Jimbo, who is old enough to know better and young enough not to care, says he was born in a hospital and now lives in Boston.  He also tells us that he and Tis had a virtual wedding. Tis tells us she does commercials for undersized jeans.  She'd also like you to visit her home page: www.hotbabe.com. Tis's favorite movie is "Tis the night before Christmas."  I had to remind her it was "Twas the Night Before Christmas."  Jimbo's favorite is the home movie of him and Tis and the Kama Sutra. Jimbo tells us he's been playing euchre for about two hours now, while Tis tells us she's been playing long enough to be the best.  When asked how they happened to win tonight, Tis said it was because they happen to be GREAT, while Jimbo tells us they won because they got more points than the opp's. Tis also said, " :-p Nicole I WON, YOU didn't....lol." When asked if they wanted to share any words of wisdom with us, Tis said, "Always take your soda out of the freezer before it explodes, don't put your jeans in the dryer, and be sure that if you have a bra that hooks in the front that the you don't scratch....lol."  Jimbo tells us to just take it one day at a time. Tis would also like to see an imprint of a strong hand on her bare butt and Jimbo told her that he had a strong hand.  LOL. GREAT JOB YOU TWO ... CONGRATULATIONS!

The Consolation Tourney winners were Carrie1 & Cear who edged out runners-up Jenn26 & Viltran. When asked how long these two had been partners, they told us about 10 months.  Cear got his nickname from a Celtic tale by CJ Cherryh, while Carrie tells us she uses her real name.  She also uses Pinkie in certain circles.  (Not squares, or rectangles - just circles.) Cear, who is 49 years old, was born in Long Island and now lives in Arizona.  When asked if he was married, Cear's comment was, "Am I supposed to admit something as stupid as that?"  He has six children: Bernard/34, Thomas/32, Charles/20,  David/18, Elisabeth/17, and Naomi/16.  When Jenn saw him type that, her comment was, "WOW CEAR ...YOU STUD YOU!" Carrie, who is 40 years young, was born in Southern California and still lives there.  Carrie tell us she's single - sort of.  She has two children:  Danny/13 and Katie/10. When asked what kind of work they do, Cear told us he was a gigilo, then changed it to health care, claiming sex was healthy.  Carrie tells us that she works at the post office answering phones and that no one better tick her off.  Cear said that's because she carries a AK-47 to work instead of a bazooka like the other employees. Cear's favorite movie is "Mars Attacks" and he loves any books by Tolkien. Carrie says she loves anything written by John Grisham or Anne Rice. Cear would like to see Clinton's confession that he screwed us all only a bit less than the Republicans would, while Carrie would like to ask Greg to pleaseeeeeeee let Jo come out to play at night more during the week.  Greg laughed and said, "Cross my palm with silver .. and we'll see, Carrie ;);)." Carrie has been playing euchre for a little more than a year now, while Cear was taught by Zada how to play about 18 months ago.  Neither knew you could really play off-line - with REAL cards.  LOL. When asked how they happened to win tonight, Cear told us that he carried them to victory.  I guess Carrie just sat there and looked good, huh?  Carrie then said, "Cear my dear, you can bite me big time!!" Carrie said she just didn't look at the score box and played to have fun. When asked for any euchre strategies or tips, Cear tells us to only play in tournaments run by your sis, then you have a better chance of winning!  Carrie tells us that when the other team calls it and you have the right bower, don't ever lead it ... unless you have the left and ace, too.  LOL. CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO ... YOU DID GREAT!

Carrie1 . . . not really a mad postal worker . . . more like a REALLY FUN euchre player!!

Euchre has a unique vernacular that originated over centuries and cultures. Perhaps a little history of the terms and strategies will give you a new perspective of the game.

"Bowers"- Let’s begin with those roguish Jacks..  "Mr. One-Eye" and "Mr. Two-Eye".  Without them you have Jack S***, a term embraced and immortalized by fed up euchre players world-wide. The word "bower" emerged, as did the game of euchre, from the Pennsylvania Dutch (Germans, to the average person). It’s the German word for "farmer" (bauer).  The farmer isn’t royalty, by any means (as are kings and queens), so they empowered the little guy in this game and, most appropriately, a German farmer. Appropriate, I say, because it’s from them that we also popularized a four-lettered "F" word so often muttered under our breaths in the game. This particular "F" variation was a German old-world slang  describing a farmer thumb-forcing his seed into the soil. SO... the "bower" is the guy that does the... the.. um.. well you get the idea.

"Next" is a term popularized later in the game and made a standard by Mr. Hoyle. It means the opposite suit of the same color that was turned down. Supposedly, to "go next" after your opponent turned down... let’s say, hearts.. is to increase your chances for success with a light hand if you select diamonds. If you’ve played euchre for any amount of time at GPP, you’ll find that the word, "next" holds as much promise as having it applied to you at the Department of Motor Vehicles. You THINK it’s a good thing when you hear "next" and step up to the window. That’s until you find out that what you have in your hand is not exactly what you need to achieve your objective. In euchre, you give the other team two points. At the DMV, you are penalized to another line or two, lose a couple more hours, and....this is a secret belief of mine... are adding two points to someone in the back room’s betting pool.

"Jump The Fence" or "Jump The River" were later terms added to the game with it’s variations again depending on the region you lived in. Basically is says that if your opponent turns down one color and you call it the other color (nixing "next") you can pretty much forget about any help from your partner. The theory is that they turned down one color because they had more of the other. Statistically, then, it favors you to not jump to the other color. The picture you are supposed to draw from these colorful phrases is that you jumped to one side and your partner stayed on the other. BUT.. if you do some digging, you’ll find that the original terms were actually "Jump The Noose" and "Jump The Track" which began in the bordellos of New Orleans when men would leave their partner at home and sneak over to the other side of town to have a few beers, cigars, hookers and euchre games! Other expressions to emerge in both life and euchre were: "Walk On The Wild Side", "Go Alone", and, from the hookers themselves, "Don’t Send A Boy".

Finally, there’s "The Farmer’s Hand"- This term hasn’t quite caught on in all regions. It indicates a hand consisting of all nines and tens. You’d think, considering that the farmer’s the big dude in this game, that a Farmer’s Hand would consist of all four jacks. Nope. Once again it consists of "Jack S***". That’s because this expression emerged much later, when the German roots were forgotten, and in a region that also gave us "Farmer In The Dell".  If you are familiar with that children’s ditty and its larkful limericks, it starts out with the farmer taking a wife. In kind... the wife runs right out and starts taking animals. Now, of course, if the wife "took" the animals like the farmer "took" the wife, a divorce soon followed, with the enamored animals leaving with the wife, and the farmer stuck with a moldy lump of cheese and fields full of leftover crap... basically equating with a hand full of nines and tens.

Aren’t history lessons enlightening? :)
