Bajamama-Bahamama-B’mamaha

• “Oh I wonder what they have got in the reduced price section tonight?”….
• “Ooh man, look at that, two-for-one on the wonderfully greasy ‘Farmer Giles lips ‘n’ arse’ pork pies.” ….
• “Wow! half price crap and special offer on the thingies!”….
• “Hey, hey, I am having a few of those watery tasteless yoghurts at that price! Even if I do have to eat all 16 of them by tomorrow night or they will be out of date!”…. and so on.

And. I am being very good, I am keeping one eye on the clock. So, ok, it looks like I going to miss the game kick off by 2 minutes, no problem, besides it was worth it for the 6 tubs of sour cream I managed to snaffle at the incredible price of 10 pence each. (I am not sure what I am going to do with them, but what ever it is, I better do it damn quick as within 2 days they will be passing into the ‘Ebola’ stage of their evolutionary life cycle.)

Yah! Home again and I have only missed 3 minutes of the game. What the heck let’s push it to 6 minutes and I can really be comfortable, with a mug of fresh tea and all my newly bought crap on a little plate by the side!

“Here we go! Here we go! Here we go! “As I plonk my rear on the seat and spread my newly purchased bounty before myself, slapping the headset on and speaking into the room “hey yah started without me, ha ha.”. Right then, fire up the poker software, dunk the ginger nut and start playing.

Something’s wrong? Why hasn’t the poker software offered me “to take my seat?” Hmm…?

Press a few buttons, read the tournament entry list, poke a few buttons, read the tournament entry list, slap a few buttons (very hard), read the tournament entry list, head butt the space-bar…

No! No! NooOoo! In my rush to run out for (very essential) supplies, I forgot to actually enter the tournament first! Abruptly my sails are devoid of wind, my ginger dunked nuts are just wet mush and the cigarette that was poking so provocatively out of the pack, doesn’t look so provocative anymore. “Oh no I forgot to enter!” I mumble dejectedly into the chat room. Aside from Nets® who did manage a “aww sorry Blags” the rest of the heartless bunch of squad players in the chat room, could only manage an odd giggle or snicker.

You insensitive philistines! I’ll get you and you’re little dogs! .. (ala’ “Wicked Witch of the West!”) I had left the sound recording software running when I went to the store and I gathered enough dirt and sound clips on yah all to have yah squirming in yah chairs from now until, erm my next run to the store!

As for the Omaha Hi-Lo tournament, Rich aka Booza® aka The Hood® aka TheSquad® aka smug faced owner of the league, notched up yet another win. Way to go Rich! He certainly is stamping his dominance in the league at Omaha Hi-LO, proving to be a formidable opponent at this format.

Rich and Dallas® have a private side bet on this month on who finishes higher than the other. After 14 games Rich stole the lead back with last nights win. You can check all the progress on the forum at the pokerchipsquad.com website. I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at Dallas’s® house this morning, as he sat in front of the PC and read Rich’s scoring win.

I have this mental picture of Tedd (Dallas®) this morning, stumbling still half sleep, over to the computer, bleary eyed, in his boxer shorts and cowboy boots, clutching a bowl of corn flakes, flicking the on switch, chewing a mouthful of soggy flakes, opening up the forum, swig of coffee to join the already soggy flakes, reading about Rich’s win then ‘clumping’ off to the kitchen to get a paper towel to clean his keyboard and monitor of milk, cereal flakes and coffee.

I know this is going to sting Tedd more than usual, as last night he went nuclear when he went out of the tournament. It was a classic! And I didn’t manage to record it damn! I find Tedd a likeable guy and highly entertaining, he wears his heart on his sleeve and boy don’t the rest of us know it! A true ‘character’ in the league.

For myself I rather dejectedly headed over to a sit and go $10 table and came a creditable 2nd and another $27 in the kitty. Feeling slightly better now.

Then that smooth talking whisperer Lardog® teased me into a sit and go with him and dangnabbit! I did it again! I took his advice and again went out on the bubble. Sheesh it’s not Lardogs’® fault, it’s mine. As I pointed out to him, last time I took his advice, I did so just after he had drunkenly folded pocket rockets in error. I mean who takes advice from someone who just did that kind of move? Me it seems and I didn’t learn my lesson. Hey Dog, only kidding man, love playing the tables with yah, great fun always.

On another note, I see Gopher® has provided proof that a “stiffy” is indeed a real drink up in Scotland, albeit by a rather blurry photograph he added to the comments on the ‘The No Play Today’ post. If the picture wasn’t so blurry I would print it off and run into “that” store and hand it to the cash-out girl and run out again without saying a word.

Apologies for doubting you Gordon, though you have to accept you were utterly wasted when you first drunkenly celebrated the virtues of a “stiffy” in the chat room.

Not much else to add today. Though, maybe, hmmm.

I have mentioned the Paltalk chat room several times already in this blog. Where the league players gather before, during and after the league games. You’d think these seasoned, tough, experienced players would be discussing tactics, statistics, playing styles, etc.

Yeah right… Get your ears around this little snippet of a typical nights chat in our room. The players are debating the correct pronunciation of one of the members table nickname, that name being “bajamama”.

I ain’t even going to tell you which one is correct or not as I don’t have a clue, when I see the name at the table I just mentally refer to her as banana-rama. No disrespect intended, it is just naturally easier for me to think about three sexy 80’s gals singing and gyrating around than it is to try and think about how to pronounce the name, “bajamama” …..
