IREGIMDEAD could be an anagram (anadaughter?) for someone? (sorry it's late and my eyes have been itching all day, darn Florida wet weather and constant mold blooms!)

Other thoughts - In poker the Jokers are normally dead cards (not played) unless they have been given special meaning (i.e. a wild card)

$Jokerswild?

*edit* no nicks under "jokersarewild," "$jokerswild"
I am changing my birth and death date to see if maybe Dustman was given a clue by Lucky to change his D.O.D. and change his luck (hmmm... now I wonder, could you change your date of death to before you were born?)

*Edit #2* Really wild spec..

What if you get dealt a Joker as a pocket card? Not win a hand or turn up a character/clue - just random blind chance?

I had the same idea earlier today. I tried the list in several anagram searches, then used all reasonable ones to search at LCP and didn't find a card.

Also one might consider only those letters that are capitalized that should NOT be capitalized: REGMDEAD. Tried this too with a similar strategy with no hits yet.

 		Now, is it just me, or does the Mark of the Joker displayed on their profiles look a lot like the marking above the "I" on Kink's arm?

 		Nah, the one above kink is a crown, the mark of the joker is a silouette (sp?) of a fool (jester, whatever you want to call it) with a hat (with jingly jangly bells on Very Happy !)

 		I'm still thinking (based on the rules for Tombstone Hold 'Em) that the Joker has something to do with birthdays.

Which brings me to a larger, META/SPEC thought:

It's been said that the "answer" to the Beast was "OMGWTFBBQ!!! I'm a xenobotanist!!!" and the "answer" to ILB was "OMGWTFBBQ!!! I live in Omaha!!!"

I wonder if the "answer" to this one will be "OMGWTFBQ!!! I was born on April 1st, 1978!!!" Wink

 		Are these guys (Dustboy and triple5dj) in-game? I'm thinking of people like TheHouse1 and TheHouse3, the forum guys who have stock avatars like the rest of us...

 		I was actually wondering if it's actually based on play style... Now I know there's the text box when you login. So don't remind me.

But what if a chatty kathy who can't keep on subject gets the mark of the Joker, whereas the person who never bluffs (the site could tell) gets the safe bet thing.

I know it's highly unlikely, but I just wanted to throw that out there...

Anyway, it's probably like "jinglyhat" and "dontbet" or something Smile

 		smack me with a trout and call me susan if this has been said before but to get the 1/1/1941 DOD (the DOB of the guy with the first mark of the joker) just enter your birthday as 1/1/1980

so would this mean your DOD is 39 years before you were born? someone check me on this please

I tried asking at the table, but I didn't get a response. Dr_Pangloss was there when I asked.
