Is your father ashamed of you?

[MrX]

MrX that is a golden story. I would make that frame have an unfortunate campfire accident.

Tempting, but my family takes that sort of shit very seriously. My sister once "stole" a nut-bowl from my parents house as an attempted practical joke and it launched a drama that lasted nearly a year. She was almost disowned. True story.

That's going on my living room wall and I don't care if my dad does see it.

My dad and I used to play a lot of cribbage together. He is a natural card player and is in the top 20 Bridge players in Canada for lifetime Master Points (that's what competitive bridge players earn).

Top 20 in Canada. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me. He never talked about it either. I kind of dragged it out of him obliquely by accident a few years back.

But yeah, we used to play quite a bit of cribbage. Then we invented another game: egabbirc. That's cribbage backwards where you play trying to not get points. First to 121 loses. Good game. We thought we invented it but I discovered later that other people figured it out too.

Egabbirc.

Why the fok would your dad distrust your own math though? Did you not tell him you were MrX? It made an impression on me when you did.

I thought Mr X was Mr D for the longest time. Til I read about him running a contest to give away his sbr swag. And I thought "Wow I wonder if this fella is as sexy as Mr D?"

And you know what? He was.

You lie! He's #29 as of today.

As promised, I am now watching you.

Ah the nut bowl incident. You can't even mention that at all. Twenty years could pass and it will still be too soon. Jack is a piece of work to say the least. I will remember the next time we're in Green Bay to take a picture of the "Cribbage Event wall" and post it. Impressive to say the least. I am so amazed and proud that my husband turned out so awesome.

Wut? Is that true?

 

[Matty]

Says so right on the Canadian Bridge Federation's website. Don's been slipping.

I gots information.

 

[Mudcat]

No I doubt it's a case of slipping that much. I must have mis-remembered the number and subconsciously bumped it up.

Top 30 in the country - still awfully good.

Too bad he didn't devote all his card-playing efforts to poker.

 

[The Box Cleaners Daddy]

My father is periodically ashamed of me. There are other times when he is in awe of me.

 

[Bread]

Matty that detective work was equal parts awesome and creepy.

I aim for perfect balance.

Is your father less ashamed of Zane Breadipoo?

 

[Bread]

Even though Zane was created in love, and I was a party-stopper, I still think he is equal parts disappointed in both of us.

what are their lives like? elaborate please

I'm sure when the layers of money/women/cars are stripped away...lonely and shallow.
