Club Rules. The idea here was to devise a safe haven away from all the media storms, so with this in mind you'll only find aliases on the membership forms. No wives and girlfriends allowed, if you do smuggle them in, keep them well hidden. 'Cause it's Gentlemen Only and Ladies Forbidden. (What a good name for a game.) * * * * * * * * * The game was delicatly poised at this card school for the boys. Carefully studying each other's faces. Trying to decipher who was holding all the aces. Dan was the first to play, he was sheltering from a storm that could only be described as torrential. He studied his hand and he thought it showed potential. But really, it was worth forgetting. And some of the things he got into his head and alledgedly said, could be quite upsetting. Ray threw his cards in, to a sharp intake of breath. He was a dear man and everyone wanted him to do well but he was clearly hopelessly out of his depth. Gary was the next to lose. It's not so much that he didn't know how to win, but he had some awful cards to use. Next up was Bob, through his cigar smoke puffing. Nobody trusted him on account of him being quite good at bluffing. But one look at his discarded cards told everyone that they basically ammounted up to nothing. Lastly, was Gary's son, Gary jr. who bless him, was none too bright. Sat directly on Gary's right. Looking like a bunny caught in the headlights. Gary jr. was keen to impress to be thought of as the best, eager to be remembered as a proper member after being signed in as a guest. [This message has been edited by simon (04-11-2008 11:55 AM).] |
