Well, it seems that Bettermost is having some fall changes (new color scheme and other plans in the works) and Louise has been infected by the redecorating bug...The Pillsbury Doughboy has grown up and turned into Hugh Jackman! LOL

Heh heh.

I'm loving your new avatar Louise. Shame you can't use that other one!!   ;)  :laugh:

I have concluded that "that other one" is a fake photo, June.  You naughty girl you!

Well guys... I came into work this morning, and the employees' offices are locked, and the only people here are the freelancers.  The employees are having a one-day strike and won't be in today.

So... I got nothin ta do....might as well write a poker game.

I type 160 words a minute.  I write a little less quickly.

And I thought I typed fast!!!!!!  My job is to typity type all day long (well, when I'm not reading slash) - if I typed that fast, the keyboard would probably explode!   :laugh:

Still, it does explain how Louise is able to give us so many wonderful chapters all the time.   :)

Morning everyone. I don't know if anyone watches Grey's Anatomy, but I watched it last night and I'm new to the programme so don't know who anyone is, but this guy was in it and I thought of Dupree straight away.  I know we already have a Dupree, so I hope you dont mind that I've posted this pic here - I'd be interested if anyone else thinks the same.  He's also got something going on with his sexuality, but I have no idea what.

You'll still get paid won't you Louise?

As to this poker game. Maybe there could be two. Ellery can take on Jeeves (and anyone else who cares to join in) down at the Red Stallion, and they can forfeit all their cash to him. Then he can take Ennis home and have another game - with forfeits of a different kind  ;)

On a more serious note I think that this game will be very interesting. A real battle of wills. Chas knows that he is not going to be able to charm Ellery, and Ellery being the student of human nature that he is will be able to sus Chas out.

Oh, and I hope that you all have a Friday 13th free of mishap.
