Just imagine....week two was even more fun than week one!!! Twenty great teams turned out for the festivities and a great time was had by all!!!!
Congratulations to Whiz and Jrxly, who are our second grand winners, winning out over runners up MtLion and Tis. Way to go, Whiz and Jrxly!!!! Jrxly tells us she has been playing euchre all her life, but Whiz only started playing about six months ago. They have been playing euchre together for three months now. When asked about their personal life, Whiz explained i'm 38, on my 3rd marriage...have 4 kids...all have a t.v. so I did good... one has her own telephone so that's a plus too .. think I could qualify for hubby of the year :) Jrxly confided, "I am a separated 48 year old grandma with 12 or 13 grandkids.....I live in Ohio and my pard is a canuk." Ever wonder how people come up with those nicknames? "The lord came to me one night while dreaming about jrxly and said .. u need a whiz so.. here I am" joked Whiz. While Jrxly explained, "There was a run on my real name (Jenise) so my hubby put in jrxly." When asked for euchre tips Jrxly stated, "Don't be afraid to bid or be euchred - it is just a game." Whiz said, "There is only one great player .. one that calls without any worry of a euchre.. jrxly is that person. Never play with anyone other than jrxly." Jrxly went on to warn all you would be challengers that "if you want to beat whiz and I, get a stick..hehehe." and Whiz added, "If you want to get to the finals in the future, just hope you don't have to play JR and me before!!" But most importantly, this final tip from jrxly, "EUCHRE IS LIKE SEX...IF YOU DONT HAVE A GOOD PARD YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD HAND." LOL!!!

The FASTEST GAME award is presented to Boppie and MM...they were back so quick we wondered if they really played a game in there or just paid RaMroD and Darcie off...only kidding Boppie *G*

And finally...The WE DONT HAVE A CLUE WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT AWARD goes to:
(Rainy) *SIS* Bet I know what the #1 quote of the night is......but I will not say it...*I* don't wanna get kicked...LOL
It was all a misunderstanding . . . I was only answering the question, "What is a partner?" Unfortunately it happened just as we were about to start assigning tables:
(Kaliki) a partner is someone who tries to cover your A$$
*** Trumpy has kicked Kaliki from the channel.
And later in the evening.....
(Kaliki) how bout, want a fag???
(jrxly) guess i was watching kaliki get kicked again
(EUCHem) kaliki got kicked again???
(Tis) Kaliki, get your potty mouth back in here!!
(Kaliki) I will not use any forbidden words . . . someone tell me what the forbidden words are . . . ROFL!!!
Wait...I can explain...it was an innocent mistake...There is a VERY simple explanation for this...we were discussing English terms...like bloody cow and cheeky...a fag is a cigarette in England, but just try telling that to Trumpy....sheesh
See...even Bomber tried to explain the situation to Trumpy....
(Bomber) but a fag is a cigarette
*** Trumpy has kicked Bomber from the channel.
Okay, so maybe I get the award for the most times kicked during one tourney, but mine were both innocent mistakes *G*....now Jo, on the other hand, wins the award for saying the most naughty things in one sentence...I won't repeat what she said...but suffice it to say, Trumpie would NOT let her back in...we had to move the interviews to another room...LOL!! (Note from Jo . . . The truth is she was talking dirty ALL dadgum night . . . she even called OgreJim OrgeJim . . . don't let her fool you . . . she's not as innocent as she'd like you to believe!! LOL!!!)

**IMPORTANT NOTE: The January 2nd tournament has been cancelled . . . too many people have not received their GPP CD's yet!!! :((( The next tournament will be January 9th!!! We hope to see you all then!! ;)))**
We want to wish y'all a very HAPPY HOLIDAY and hope 1998 is a GREAT year for all our euchre friends!!! Take care everyone and see y'all next year!!! ;) Don't forget to sign up for the January 9th tournament. The next Top Ten question is . . . "Why do you think euchre is better than sex?" See y'all in two weeks!!!
Why are euchre players better than spade players?
10. We can TALK while we play. (Quietlady) Variation: We are more fun to play with. (Scroll)
9. Cause we have ATTITUDE. (OgreJim)
8. Because euchre players are better looking. (roxxx)
7. Gets my mind stimulated!! (Kari)
6. Not sure if u are refering to cards or not... but the euchre players sure can cyber better!!! (Whiz) Variation: Well, Euchre is a safer bid than sex...LOL (MrsBoop)
5. Because euchre players live dangerously where spades players live by the cards they are dealt.... (Attagirl)
4. Cause we only have 5 cards and most of us are blondes, so we don't have as much to remember in euchre. (ModemMom) Variation: Because they don't have to count to 13. (daring2)
3. I would say because it's a partners game, and having a partner is always more fun than playing with yourself! :) (BillH)
2. Cause we can do it twice as fast & with a lot less cards. (Boopster) Variation: In order to play euchre well...you must be quick! Spades is slow....slow is good...but not in cards! (Always)
And the #1 answer to this weeks top 10 is......
1. When God created SPADES players, she was only joking. (Menz)
