&lt;blockquote style=&quot;border-left: solid blue 2px; padding-left:5px; margin-left:5px;&quot;&gt; victorsimkoaldridge: Hey Dude! &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: hey victor&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: hello vic&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: *waves*&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: hey amber, ahecht, chewy&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: hi Vic :)&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hi AmberJoy! &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: busy day today&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hi Ahecht &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Guess what, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hey Chewy &lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclap8: hello everyone&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: thunder!&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Thunder! &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Guess what, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclap8: Victor!&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: ariock!&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: What's up? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I talked to Johnny again today.&lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclap8: just chillin, hung out in a graveyard all day&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: He is pretty worried about Corazon.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Corazon's brother?  How's he adjusting? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: He is okay, but just so worried about Corazon.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: He figures Kerry is looking out for her now.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: well, like you, he had a better chair than we do&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: But he is pretty scared that Don is going to mess her up.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: hey victor&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: He seems to be a little loco at the moment&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Yeah, Kerry isn't exactly the guy to trust.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hi GSH &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: I think Kerry's looking to do some more justice&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: how are things?&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: He seems to want to kill Don now&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: And now Don has it out for Lucy too.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I think someone's gotta bring that boy back. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: He thinks he is just a weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Ariock! &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: kerry has three bullets, and he intends to use them&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I think that's sharp. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: good to meet you victor&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Three, so that would be Don and who else? &lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: I think he used one on Vaquero already&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: himself&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: and Lucy?&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Vaquero, Don... and himself?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Maybe he is looking to find out who is pulling the strings.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: maybe one for Lucy&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Ariock, that's a scary thought, but I'm thinking you're right. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: nah, not lucy&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Maybe he thinks Don has a boss?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: but definitely one for himself.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: I think the suicide thing is a real concern&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, but it could also be two for Don, Don's a big guy..&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: lol&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Who will look out for Corazon if Kerry offs himself?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I dunno, I'm not exactly a member of the Kerry fan club, you know? &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: the cat&lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclap8: Corazon can handle herself&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: I wouldn't imagine you would be&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: he told her he was leaving&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: Plus we think Kerry may leave her the diamonds&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: that'd be a nice guesture, but I wonder why Lucy is going?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Did you know there are diamonds in that gun?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Corazon will be set for life!&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yup, that's what caused your death vic, diamonds&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: and death.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: But I think, I dunno...I didn't know about the diamonds. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: well, assuming they are still in the gun...&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: ...and...a bullet&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: it's been through a lot of hands since the Civil War&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: That's why so many people have died over that gun.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: You think Kerry can be stopped?  I don't mind if he kills Don, but &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: but they all seemed to have been good people, or people who didn't know...&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: He has alot of stuff on his concious...&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: but?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Lucy, she seems okay.  I mean, a little squirrily, but basically okay. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: He needs a new sensei, our Kerry does&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: maybe Vaquero will get sick of Don?&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: maybe Simon will take him on&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: And maybe Vaquero will get rid of Don.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, what with our late preacher gone...&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: Vaquero is dead, Amber&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Vaquero is dead honey...&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah, it's too bad about the preacher. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: first bullet&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: he was a nice guy...&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Haven't seen him around here...maybe because he's a priest and all. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I heard he was comming soon...&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Former&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: spider seems to be in a worse kind of hell than the rest of you.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Caught in traffic maaybe?&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Wait, so if a preist wouldn't go here, where is here?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: so at least that is something&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: so, vic, ever find that canoe?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Ahecht, I've been wondering that too.  I mean, is this purgatory or something? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: poker purgatory?&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: Maybe the priest got a direct direct to the great beyond and skipped the casino part&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: GSH, a finder to you.  =) &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Well, it's not heaven. :P&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Lurker says: Johnnydeuces said we were all in hell too.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I've been drawing great openers and shit after that. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: New poker rooms today, Victor&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, very weird stuff&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: one for Spider and one for the original owner of the gun who set the curse&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: hey, vic, by the way, what's a finder?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: The gun is cursed?  How? &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: sounds and images&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Every time it shows up at a poker game, someone dies&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: the owner always dies&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Meant a finger, to you, for the canoe comment. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I think the gun has blood diamonds in it, maybe civil era treasure&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: oh, gotcha :p&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Which is why we are worried about Kerry bringing both the gun and cards to his meeting&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: You know what I think, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: hurrah for me&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Civil war?  The gun is from the civil war? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: hehe, I really shouldn't poke fun at the dead...&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Wow, I got in. Hi all.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Vic, I think all those guys should get in a poker game together.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, civil war&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: well its first appearance is civil war,&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: And I think Kerry should bring the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: kerry did just buy a deck of cards&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: but it was made earlier&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Yeah&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah?  But isn't he gonna shoot everybody? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Ooh, poker and a gun. So, bets on who dies?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: If the gun is cursed, then the bad guys should die.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Maybe it'll be a poker game for thier lives?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Don't you want Don to die?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: What's the curse? &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: I don't think Kerry wants to shoot everyobdoy.  he';s looking for another asnwer&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Almost a russian roulette if you will...&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: well, it all depends on who you consier a bad guy&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: hickok brought the gun to a game and he died&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: he wasn't all that bad&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: maybe that's why Lucy is comming, she's the gambler&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah, but not Lucy. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: no, not Lucy&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: no not lucy&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: He's only two bullets, right? Hardly enough for a shoot out.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Not everyone would have to die.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So what's the curse on the gun? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Maybe he will use the gun as collateral for a bet?&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: I don't think  nayone has transcribed the full tect of the curst&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: everytime the gun shows up at a poker game, someone dies&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Someone always dies when the gun is at the table, I hear is the curse.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Supposedly, whenever the gun is brought to a game, someone dies&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: he cards get in the way in the room&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: It's happened a few times already.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: The curse was never fully visible.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: just a moment and I will try to tell you, Victor.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I wonder how Jeb Stuard died...&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Okay, I'm not in a hurry.  Although these cards are horrible. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: maybe it was at a poker game?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: mine too.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Who's Jeb Stuart, isn't he like a Civil War dude? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: He's the original owner of the gun&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Is he the one who cursed the gun? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: His name is ingraved on it&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: spill my blood and the curse will follow you and your sons&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: That'd be my guess..&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: that's what the cursed table said&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: and the sons of your sons&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: and the sons of your sons&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So like people's sons are cursed? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: and so on&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Like a lineage thing? &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So is Don cursed? &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: with my dying breath&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: It sure has traveled through Lucy's family through many generations.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: hmm.  so maybe Lucy isn't cursed if she has the gun?&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: With my dying breath I will take the gift of life from them&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Yeah, and I think Lucy and Kerry are decents of people who were cursed by it&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: I will take the gift of eve from them&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Maybe we can take this thing literally. Lucy isn't a son :D&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: GSH, that's weird. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: and they will not know good from evil&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Oh, wait, gift of eve.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yup, hence the sons of your sons and all&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: The gift of Eve?  What's that?  Apples? &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Good from evil. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: until my blood&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: That means chicks,like daughter, wifes?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Right, like the tree of knowledge of good and evil. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: eve was the original mother&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht shows Full House, aces full of nines&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Kerry and Lucy appear to be related in some way.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Jesus, look at those aces. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: until my blood has been unspilled and my death unmade&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So Kerry and Lucy are cursed? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: We have suspected that Kerry and Lucy are related.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: yikes we need to bring that guy back to life?&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: So, how does one unmake death&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: How can you unspill someone's blood? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: We have to help them!&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: thier destinies have been chosen&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: So if the curse comes their ancestors...&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Then one of them is cursed to die.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: perhaps we need to protect the ancestor of the original owner?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Yeah, to stop the curse at it's source&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: GSH, we can change the destinies by cleaning the blood, right?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: lol, I don't know why you're asking me, but yes, I suppose&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: or, just stopping it from  spilling in the first plac&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: e&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: They're both cursed?  And someone is supposed to unspill blood? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: You said the destiny thing. It sounds so final, I don;t like it.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I wonder if we could break the curse....&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Oh, true, but you can change destiney&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: hhmmmm&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Seems like the curse would belong to Lucy, being kin of JEB&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: AmberJoy, I sure hope so. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: I don't think we can change history.&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: We still don't know how it got cursed in the first place, right?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: but Kerry appears to be kin to JEB also&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Well, if the Sullivan family took the gun from the Browns, Lucy would have to kill Kerry&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Kerry is a son of a son of a son kind of thing? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: and there was a western cowboy that Lucy is related to as well&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Doesn;t don say something about Jeb being a brown?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: yes&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, you could say that&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Ariock, you said he was some kind of weapon. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: James Ewell Brown Stuart&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: MelonCandy:  JEB stood for James Ewell Brown.&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: he is the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: He thinks he is an extension of the Gun&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: and he HAS a gun&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Kerry is the great-great-grandson of Patrick Sullivan's daughte,r Kellie O'Grady.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: But it is more he is an extension of the gun&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: And he sure doesn't seem to have a good handle on what is right and wrong, although &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: he worries about it A LOT. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: He tries tho.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: He does what he thinks is right&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: don't a lot of people, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: that is the curse...the gift of eve. knowing good from evil&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: even if it's not always what we see as right&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah, I know.  It's just hard not to take him personally. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Wow. THat's deep, ari.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: he's a bit gullible too&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: I can understand that&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: good hand, victor&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Can't blame you, Vic, since he is hanging out with Corazon so much.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: That would make any guy nervous.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: lol&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: But he's not a gun.  I mean, a gun wouldn't take care of Corazon. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: well, he is trying to protect her.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: A gun can offer protection&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: He's messed up, sure, but he's more than a gun. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: It sounds like Kerry is at a crossroads.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: a gun can be used for protection&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: thanks ari ;)&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah, AmberJoy. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: He isn't just a killer any more.&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Old indian tradition, he feels obligated to corazon&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: He's less doing Don's work. That was why he was a gun in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: He has two sides&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Someone really needs to bring him back to the real world. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Sounds like maybe Corazon is a good influence on him.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: BY CALLING HIM!&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: but to protect her, he has been killing.&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Call him.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: And I suppose that would be Lucy?&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Do you have phones wherever you are?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Amber, Corazon makes lots of people better than they expect. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: We happen to know his phone number, should we try to... convince him?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: maybe matt could help him&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Ya, we have his number.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: It seems like he is most open to Corazon's influence right now.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I don't Ahecht.  Chewy, what would you say to him? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Vic, did you know about Corazon's...secret?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: GSH? What secret? &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: It's 213-341-1154, in case anyone needs it.&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: He is more than a Gun.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: The fact that she used to be a man?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Oh hell yes. Everyone knows that. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy shows Full House, jacks full of kings&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Chewy, yeah, that would be good. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: hehe, just wondering&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: He's a rightious guy!! Go Kerry in '05!&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: kicking ass, amber&lt;br /&gt;
SuperJerms: what if someone told kerry that clay loved lucy?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: ty&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Couldn't hurt. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Clay didn't love lucy, you crazy ghost!&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: So, is clay there yet?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I think the guy just needs reasons to get out of whatever scary place his head is in. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: He was supposed to come to the tables&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: &quot;here&quot; meloncandy&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Maybe remind him of his baby sister?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: (him=Kerry)&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: He reminds me of this guy I used to work with who was a speed freak. &lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: oh yeah?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: how did you help him?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: How so?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Would the curse be broken if the gun was destroyed?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah, you could remind him of his baby sister.  I think you should try everything. &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Damn it I had a flush. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: poor Vic&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: [omigoshviccanhearmeibettershuttup]&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: I left a message. I hope he checks his machine.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: AmberJoy?  You mean like the Lord of the Rings and all that stuff? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: you guys think of anyting else? I can call back.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: hehe...something like that&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: That would be really cool. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: yes it would be&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: You know what?&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Oh, btw, you don't know morse code, do you?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hey, speaking of the Lord of the Rings, did you hear my hat might end up in New Zealand? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Nita McPherson is having a bonfire.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Is that cool or what. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: We did Victor.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: That is tres cool, Vic.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: have'nt heard from the hat in a while&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Awesome mate. You getting the pictures?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I always loved that hat&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: MelonCandy?  Morse Code? &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: but way cool on the round-the-world part&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Kerry's sisters were Julia and Bernadette.  Bernadette is the one still alive.&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Meh, shot in the dark, you know.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Yeah, we got a morse code message&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I saw some.  They were cool. &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: I actually got to try on your hat, Victor.  while it was in SF.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Ariock!  Isn't it a great hat? &lt;br /&gt;
ariock: A little small for me...I have a huge noggin&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: You and me both air&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: *ari&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: it's to hold all the brains ;)&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: your hat passed thru my town, but I didn't get to try it on&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: that is what I always say. I actually think it might be the rocks in my case&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: lol&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Sorry about that alien.  It's a cool hat. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: So, we phone Kerry and remind him about his potential for more than just a means to kill...&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: good lookin' for sure&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: about his sister, and tell him to go Frodo with the Gun?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: lol&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: lol&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: gandalf can help&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Chewy?  You think?  I mean, sure, I guess. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Kerry could be a good guy, he just needs some therapy...&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: You guys know the dude as well as I do. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Vic, what could we do to properly destroy the gun?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: So... the only way to stop people from killing each other over the Gun... is to destroy it?&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial shows One pair, kings&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I'm not sure we could, we'd need to get it from Kerry first&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: This whole curse business is just too weird. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: and he's a man on a mission&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Maybe if we could just find out if those diamonds are still in it..&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: If the diamonds are in it, we could get them to their proper owners.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: They must be, they're what's important&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I mean, I wouldn't have even believed the whole curse thing before, but now, you know, being dead ma &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Um, this might seem strange to ask, but are the diamons really *in* the gun?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: We don't know, MC.&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: at would be hard to, ya know, shoot?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: they're on the grip&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: dead makes everything differnt. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: in the handle, melon&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: they are on the grip&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Hey, vic, maybe your anscestors were cursed, after all, you were killed with that cursed gun...&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Ah, get it. Say, Vic, we aren't dead, right? Just you?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I gotta tell you, MelonCandy, I was never exactly a gun kind of guy. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I think we're all very dead&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: MelonCandy?  Are you sure? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Well, you seem to be on the wrong end.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: have you read your mortography recently?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Well, Vic, I am sure you hate guns even more now.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I mean, sometimes things seem screwy... &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: so, Vic, do you think you could be cursed?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: I feel pretty poorly.  I wouldn't put it past me to be dead&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Cursed?  Nah, lots of things went really good for me. &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Corazon for one. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Except the death.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: but once you met the gun....&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Well, yeah, Chewy, but my grandfather had Alzheimers and that seemed a lot worse, you know? &lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: If being cursed meant you die, then everyone is cursed. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: maybe it just curses everybody it comes in contact with, like a spider's web of people...&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: crud&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Good call. Maybe we're reading too much into this, you think?&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Yeah, my grand-dad also has Alz Heimers.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: and the gun follows the web...&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: My grandmother has it&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: GHS, you guys know about this curse, right? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, we do&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: why Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I mean, you told me about it, so all I know is what you've told me. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Do you want more?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, there's alot to know&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Well, we don't know *everything*. YOu should ask Lucky about it.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Cause I think you guys are kinda the experts here. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: well, I guess so, Lucky knows more than us...&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: *blush*  I don't know about EXPERTS, but we care about it.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: but besides Lucky...&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I guess we're  the ones to talk to&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: MelonCandy, he shows me pictures once in awhile...but he's not around all the time. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: What do you want to know Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: where does he go?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: And time goets kinda funny here...you ever notice that? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Hmm. Webmaster duties then.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I don't know where he goes. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: yeah, back and forth, back and forth...&lt;br /&gt;
hmrpita: you've all come unstuck in time&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: oh, anyway, what do you wanna know?&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Yeah. Hours fly by and my laundry deons't get done.&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: The big internet cafe in teh sky&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: lol&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So Kerry is a son of a son of a son, and until someone unspills blood he's cursed. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: right.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Yup&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Sounds pretty f****d to me. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy shows Two pair, sevens and deuces&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor shows Two pair, eights and fours&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Apparently.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: so he has to save somebody?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: but we're  not sure how to unspill the blood yet&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Ha! I thought so too.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Aliendal?  Maybe? &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: it's tricky&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Vic, what is the tattoo on your forearm?&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: yeah, this is a bit of a loop&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: And the blood is unspilled by killing the bad? or saving the good?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Maybe... maybe someone ought to tell *Kerry* about the curse... and how to break it.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: looks like an A&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: God, AmberJoy, it's old. &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: so we should tell Kerry about said curse?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I think the message is to stop killing Chewy&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: *smile* I like tattoos.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Definatly&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Yeah. To unspill blood, doesn't it have to be spilt first? So, someone needs to die?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I think you should tell him anything you can think of. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: but what if that gives him more of a reason&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: to kill&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: well. Matt needs saving, of course&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Hell, if this place is any indication, a lot of people are already dead.  =) &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Like he feels as he has to finish th curse&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: :P&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: but that probably means killing Don, so there we go again&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Vic's still got his sense of humor.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Don needs to be stopped&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Don needs to be stopped physically, and kerry needs to be stopped mentaly&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: That's my opinon&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Is there a way we can lock don up?&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: That would be easier *sigh*&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: no, he's on the force, it's his word over ours, and his is the trump card&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah?  GSH?  I think your opinion is as good as anybody's. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: nice pun there GSH&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: :)&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I couldn't resist, and thank you Vic&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: But who do we have on our side now that Rojas is dead? The Computer task force?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I think this  whole son of son of son stuff is pretty cool. &lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: rodger&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: the intern&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Any of us related to those folks? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I don't know about cool....&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: Are you, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Are you related to Lucy or Kerry, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: What about Phillip Kim?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: I mean, are any of us sons of sons of sons?? &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I happen to be a daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: all of us. :P&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I dunno, we could be..&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: We're ALL sons of sons of sons.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Not that I know of, AmberJoy.  You? &lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: I happen to be a son of a son. :P&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Except the daughters.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Not that I know of either.&lt;br /&gt;
ahecht: Wow, you too?&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: But, you know what, Vic?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Do cursed get that specific?  I mean, Corazon has this whole thing about gendered language and &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: Does anybody know what's happening with Phillip Kim?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: If Anna O'Kelly is the daughter of John CH Smith...&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I had some very old census sheets and other historical documents pass through my hands today.&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: people who use 'mankind' to stand for everyone. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: and her son is Seamus O'Kelly...&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: look at all those K's&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: cause, if he's not bust, we could use some saving...&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: OK, we're all &quot;sons of sons&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: or daughters of sons/daughters&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: it is almost like a son of son of a son&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Perhaps those documents will lead us to information that some of us are in that lineage.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: is that the same Uncle Seamus/Officer O'Kellie that's Lucky's mom's brother?&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: does anyone have the other son(king)?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: Yeah?  That might be worth doing, AmberJoy. &lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: lol ari&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Do you think Devon is in trouble? He's Lucy's brother. If the gendered language means anything...&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: So, who has ideas on how to stop this curse deal?&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: So I guess that and calling Kerry are the things to do? &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Kerry still doesn't pick up.&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: I already called Kerry.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: nice chewy&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: nice&lt;br /&gt;
hmrpita: chewy is the Sun King&lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Nh&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: I think lots of people did&lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Now I am going to process those documents I got from Nita McPherson.&lt;br /&gt;
aliendial: who else had full houses?&lt;br /&gt;
Chewy: :D I can't believe you all called that! :P&lt;br /&gt;
 victorsimkoaldridge: guys, I'm gonna go.  You guys have been so grat. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Seeya Vic.&lt;br /&gt;
GoodbyeSkyHarbor: aw, are you sure Vic?&lt;br /&gt;

GoodbyeSkyHarbor: alright, seeya Vic&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: You rock too, Vic!  Otherwise Corazon wouldn't've done that.&lt;br /&gt;
ariock: rest easy for a bit&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>So unlike the last couple of weeks, in which Lucky instructed us to wait until the tournament was over before pursuing his special favor -- and to bring the tournament winners along -- this week Lucky has gone back to permitting us to do the favor &quot;during the second half of the tournament, or after the tournament finishes.&quot;  Personally, I'd like to finish the tournament first, but I'll go along with the majority.  What do people think?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote style=&quot;border-left: solid blue 2px; padding-left:5px; margin-left:5px;&quot;&gt;-------- Original Message --------&lt;br /&gt;
Subject: Pinzano&lt;br /&gt;
From: Heather Hunter &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I found Vic's hat.  &lt;br /&gt;
-- &lt;br /&gt;
'squeek' &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Response received today:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;border-left: solid blue 2px; padding-left:5px; margin-left:5px;&quot;&gt;Nicely played, kid.&lt;br /&gt;
I'll get back to you soon to let you know if you've played by my rules.&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, thanks for doing me a Small Favor-&lt;br /&gt;
The Dealer&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Regarding the hat  - here is my hope:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm going to get the box &amp; pack it up tomorrow (with a notebook that will travel along with it).  I want to send it to  San Francisco  for those participating in the Tombstone event to all get their picture taken (and sign the notebook).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then I'd really like someone who traveled there from out of town to bring the hat back with them (and take pictures with other members back home) then get it off to someone in  Washington DC  in time for that Tombstone event - same deal - give folks a chance to get their picture with the hat (and sign the notebook). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the Washington DC event will someone please send it on to the  UK  to someone who will arrange a gathering in your own version of Tombstone Poker (same story - pictures, sign the notebook, etc) and then send it onward.  Do we have a contingent in  Europe  (a common gathering spot)?  This gives us about two weeks to get around the old world - I'm not sure we can continue going East through  New Zealand  &amp;  Australia  and then  South America  fast enough - or can we?   This will take lots of postage and airmail to make it happen .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My only caveat about this world traveling is how to make sure it gets back to someone in  Los Angeles  in time for the last Tombstone event on  Nov 19th .   Can we do this?????  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After that, we can help it criss-cross back and forth across the states for the rest of the year.  As long as it eventually ends up back in  Las Vegas  (and I&quot;ll bring it out for the   holy swag altar   every ARGFest).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Edit to add: &lt;br /&gt;
hmrpita answered the call first - the hat will travel to SF on Tuesday.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Keep checking back to this post for updates. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mods - please pull this post and create a new thread for me to keep track of the hat - where it is really going.  Keep the current thread for those who want to keep adding to the &quot;I'll host the had and send it onward&quot; posts.  Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Well, I had a blast.  Too bad we never got to hear the radio broadcast, but hey everything else went well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The weather was beautiful, but unfortunately I got rather sunburned in the process...  I never would have thought I'd need to wear sunscreen in November!  I really need to adapt to this crazy Southern weather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's the pics I took:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Special thanks to robogriff for letting me crash at his hotel room last night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was so great to put more faces with names!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please share any photos/videos/etc that you took here.</description>

MelonCandy: So, how's death been treating you?&lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: What difference does it make?  Anyway, Pedro goes all the way out to Chatsworth. &lt;br /&gt;
Akira187: whats in chatsworth&lt;br /&gt;

AmberJoy: What was in the altar?&lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: Yeah, Chatsworth. &lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: Stuff for his boyfriend.  You can see it if you want, it's right there. &lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: Next to some big rock that used to be in Westerns. &lt;br /&gt;

 johnnydeuces: He takes out this chalk and draws a cross. &lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: You're dead too, or you wouldn't be here. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: Really? Huh, didn't know that.&lt;br /&gt;
MasterCheese: do you know why Pedro decided he wanted to be a woman?&lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: So like it's this kind of place where the Lone Ranger was filmed and stuff. &lt;br /&gt;
AmberJoy: Johnny, my friend is heading to Chatsworth right now to check out that altar.&lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: Good, AmberJoy. &lt;br /&gt;
MelonCandy: That's cool. LIke because he liked films?&lt;br /&gt;

Daveman424: Are you talking about the Lone Ranger Rock, Johnny?&lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: You're frigging asking me? &lt;br /&gt;
 johnnydeuces: Daveman, you can see it from the Lone Ranger rock, it's on the other side of the road. &lt;br /&gt;
Daveman424: Indian Head Rock?&lt;br /&gt;

MelonCandy: Didn't she make one for you?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Ms. Brown, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference between you and me is that I *will* kill your family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-----Original Message-----&lt;br /&gt;
From: Lucy Brown&lt;br /&gt;
To: Don McPherson&lt;br /&gt;
Date: Thursday, November 10&lt;br /&gt;
Subject:  Family Matters&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Marshall McPherson,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A friend just found me this address.  Actually, I know a *lot* about you now, Don.  Can I call you Don?  I've been watching you play your cards for a while now, and I feel I know you pretty well.  Just like an old bitterly divorced couple, you and me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking of bitter divorces, you might try poking around on eBay.  Search &quot;Don&quot;  &quot;McPherson&quot; and &quot;bastard.&quot;  It looks like the former Mrs. McPherson has been quietly selling off a bunch of your memorabilia.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family.  That's always where the knife goes in, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a related note, I just wanted you to know I ran into your daughter after school.  Turns out we both *love* skinny vanilla lattes!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn't tell her you and I had been . intimate, in a blood-spattered kind of way.  I didn't mention you at all, this time.  But I think she would be very interested to hear what you've been up to lately.  Your wife might not be surprised, I guess, but I think your children would be fascinated to hear about you and Robert and Tony Viet.  I think Kink and Vic and especially my friend Clay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think your kids would be truly interested in hearing about your history with the Gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should have taken me out of the game when you had the chance, Don.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yrs with love, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lucy &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*****&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've found the ebay item, but haven't deciphered it yet...</description>

LastDraw: So what happens if you win here?&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Kerry is a Shakespearian at heart.&lt;br /&gt;
DaTerminator: you get the gun award&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: An astounding performance for one who probably odesn't consider himself a Killer&lt;br /&gt;
DaTerminator: look at the awards thingy, if you beat the dealer u get like 35k at reset&lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: I see that&lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: Neat.&lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: What if he beats all of you?  lol&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: We had a saying in the Army.  Sometimes, you like to have a gun.  Sometimes, you like to &lt;br /&gt;
Rex: not have a gun?&lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: Do you get an &quot;I got beat by the dealer&quot; t-shirt?&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: pack a piece that says, &quot;I don't believe you've met my big brother...&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: I've had dates like that.&lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: Hello all, by the way :)&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: Hey all&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Good to see you, LB :)&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I hardly like to think about what you are packing, lady. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Better her than you...&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Oh, Lucky, after all our correspondence, and we're still strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Shadow, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the work you did today. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: :blush:&lt;br /&gt;
Thunderclap8: hooray for shadow&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Very cool!&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: I didn't and couldn't have done it alone.&lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: Hmm... I must've missed what Shadow did...&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: We never do, or can. &lt;br /&gt;
LastDraw: What did you do, Shadow?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: jsailor and rose, to name just two&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: ook me all my life to learn that. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: And a little more. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: A lot of our mutual friends would agree with you, Lucky.  And they all helped today.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: LastDraw: I did a favor for a friend.&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: dang&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: quantum, you have been playing hard and well this week &lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: thank you&lt;br /&gt;

Leftbrained: Heh, i've been winning big and losing big alternately :)&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Nice, Shadow!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: The nut flush.  Well played. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Lucky?  It's a nickname I got tagged with in the war. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Anyone can win with good cards :)&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I was born Lionel. &lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: Interesting&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: With bad cards, one can make a flimsy house.&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I wasn't born Lucky.  You make that. &lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: /me makes sure no one approaches his house&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: With bad cards, krystyn, one can LOSE a house&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: LOL, that's why now calls me that&lt;br /&gt;
Lionheart45: Why does the leader board have the top 10 players if only 7 get to play in the tourney?&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: She can buy the drinks now. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: So Don has a somewhat smaller army now, at least&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Yeah.  We hope. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Make mine a double!&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Lucky, you wanted a Shirley Temple, yes?&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: with umbrella?&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: Top 10 is for trophy Chip bonus... Top 7 is for here to answer whoever asked that one&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Served in a coconut shell, of course&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: That girl grew up awful nice, didn't she? &lt;br /&gt;
Lionheart45: thats me&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: actually I do have a question&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: She was weaned on nice, I think.&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Shoot, quantum &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: then thats your answer!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: in a manner of speaking &lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: I got over a mil last week, but did not get a chip for a mil&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: Didn't get any bonus&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Try to avoid saying &quot;shoot&quot; with a gun on the table in front of you...&lt;br /&gt;
Rex: /me waves thongboy picture around&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: *is suddenly distracted*&lt;br /&gt;
ThaJinx: *coughs*&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: ROFL Shadow! In good form and good playing for to I see sir!&lt;br /&gt;
Rex: heh, it works!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: That icon only shows when you are PLAYING with 1 mil.  Not permanent like most of the others. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I saw. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I was impressed. &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: how rude of me. Good evening to you Lucky :-)&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: But was I suppose to get the mil bonus at the chip reset&lt;br /&gt;
Rex: wow&lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: Yeah, whoa!&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: :ponder:&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: What the heck.&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I might be bluffing &lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: ouch&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: *hrumph*&lt;br /&gt;
brownfish: nice lucky!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: but I wasn't &lt;br /&gt;

quantumquark: cya exco&lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: Wonder if we're all gonna get t-shirts that say &quot;I got busted by Lucky&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: *bats her eyes*&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: I wish to register a formal protest.&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: *out of nervousness*&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: better yet Krystyn, grab the gun and make use of it ;-) *LOL*&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: You should have gotten a leaderboard bonus, q &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: to what are you protesting Shadow?!!!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Leaderboard bonus supercedes the other, and is bigger &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Darn table just folded my pocket Aces for me.  Hmmph.  (Protest delayed so as not to affect hand)&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: I didn't need to kick him. I just had the kicker.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Ah, well.  You win some...&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: OOOOOHHH thank you for that verification, forget the mil&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: I rarely use that button. &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: ahhh!!! Smart move Shadow ;-)&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Joking. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: That is terrible luck, shadow. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: It happens.  If it weren't for luck, I wouldn't be here at all.&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: some nasty flops hitting eh fellas :-/&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: nice H&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: Dealer's armbands are too tight. His shuffle is faulty.&lt;br /&gt;
Rex: should we blame you for that?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: To coin a phrase, &quot;I could be bluffing.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: My shuffle is excellent.  And you should consider my little finger grip, K. &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: sounds about right Krystyn! Or are you gripping him totight to get the aces off him?!!!!&lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: Shadow is getting some cards&lt;br /&gt;
krystyn: You've got more sass in your little finger ...&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Right back where I started&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: shoulda seen my freaky stuff last week QQ :-/ Was almost scary&lt;br /&gt;

 thedealer: Like life that way. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: LB &lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: *THINK* Dracula wouldn't like THAT Lefty!!!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Further in you go, the less you see sometimes, and the more it costs. &lt;br /&gt;
quantumquark: The cost part I know&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: thats what my missus says Lucky!&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Except in life, Lucky, there is no nut.&lt;br /&gt;

Astald: Mo-caping?&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: :nods:&lt;br /&gt;

Shadow: Hollister's not exactly an angel.&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Shadow, you are a sharp one. &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: OUCH!&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: *rubs ankle*&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Although faintly transparent. &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: but who am I to throw stones? &lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Leftbrained-- &lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: I prefer to think of myself as substantiality-challenged, thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: Oh, no!  LB!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: He's connectively challenged, Shadow. &lt;br /&gt;

Leftbrained: But I had $453 when I locked up...&lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: Or at least, I thought I did&lt;br /&gt;
Shadow: I can't tell whether that's a compliment, so I'll take it as one.&lt;br /&gt;
HBK-4-Life-1: refund for crappy AOL maybe Lefty?!!!&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: Some fluke of fate gave you some of the money Shadow should have won on his bullets &lt;br /&gt;
Leftbrained: Heh! Sounds good to me :)&lt;br /&gt;

HBK-4-Life-1: not as expensive as trying to get a damn Gun deck in the UK! lol&lt;br /&gt;
 thedealer: It'll get more expensive real soon, I'm afraid. &lt;br /&gt;
