Cabbage?!

Erm.......no, cribbage.
A card game played for points with some very interesting rules.
BTW, for all those cribbage players out there, why can you never score 19 points from one hand?

I know how to play blackjack.

How do /you/ play blackjack - different people call the same card games different things.

You try to get 21 without going over.

That's pontoon.

Someone this site has vowed to visit painful death upon me for beating her in a particularly vengeful game of blackjack proper.

*Mornin' Troops! *

on Irish Ballads I always liked..

I once knew a man named Michael Finnigan
He grew Whiskers on his chinnigan
They Grew out and then they grew in again
Poor Old Michael Finnigan
Begin again! -- at which point the song repeats faster and faster and faster.


As for Weird Al Yankovic. Doing the rounds when when I was at university was "Living in an Armish Paradise" ripping of Collio!

I like Cribbage - it's a game my family always end up playing when we go on holiday together. As Warlord, I wholeheartedly approve.

Warlord needs ...


hmmm *wanders off*

I can play cribbage, often at gunpoint when my family decide its a good idea to 'do something together' at christmas

Ever seen this: http://www.dancingbush.com/

I had not.

but now I am unlikely ever to forget!

Ditto.

but go here and pressure Jimster for a Thingite Clock. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F615?thread=401622&skip=0&show=20 but do it nicely - a quick and maybe the odd bribe should do the trick. ;-)

Will do!

Clive - You have no shame..... indeed!
IALBM - What's wrong with a good game of cribbage?

I went over there and gave them a piece of my mind!

But they said it was too small and the gave it back.

Inertia you doubt my warlordly credentials?
ing merely lures opponents into a false sense of security, by correct positioning of the toes to provide crucial leverage and keeping the knees and ankles poised - one can spring upwards, spork extended and go for the jugular!

I suppose it also allows for extra speed for an upward jerk of the knee into various soft bits!

Precisely!

We talking about the scamjet engine now?

All it needs is the initial thrust and the intake of oxygen - sounds like it!

I *knew* there'd be a reason!
