Entry: How to Play Texas 42 - A2169191
Author: NoSuchMethod - U538093

Hey peer reviewers... this is my article about playing Texas 42, a domino game similar to the card game 'Spades' that's quite a lot of fun. It's my first entry in the guide to date, and although I'm aware this is H2G2 and not Hoyle's, I think this is one activity more people should know about.

Hi Nosuch and welcome to the madhouse.

I think this is a pretty good entry, and the game sounds like something suitable to prompt blood-letting.

I think you could do without the paragraph about robots - its too forced - but thats up to you. You'll have to take out the personal references as well, but I think you know that.

I'll try playing the game and see if it all hangs together, the way you've written it.

2 days till author elvised then to flea market?

Aye.

I will add to the list to send in for Monday then

Is there a set period before you become Elvis then ?

I assumed it was just some sort of sub-ed slang for a researcher going walkabout.

Generally speaking it is two months without making a posting to the site.

There is a special case for 'one stop researchers' ie those who appear, stick something wildly inappropriate in PR and then vanish. Those we can get rid of after a week.

Ta.
