Rose...?

Mar 13, 2010 20:50

How about we leave town soon?

Tonight, in fact.

Now-ish, perhaps.

Just a thought.

human-like adventures, oops, rose is brilliant, potential human menace, this was not my fault

You tried to play poker? Doctor, maybe you should ask Jackie or Donna to teach you to play. They might know how.

alienish_being March 13 2010, 21:25:21 UTC

No, not just poker. I'm rubbish at poker. If we'd stuck with poker they'd be my best friends still because they'd probably own most of my clothing by this point. It's the fact that I played and won some of their games that's the problem.

Apparently memorising and counting cards is a bad thing.

*facepalms*

You counted CARDS??? Are you completely insane? Tell me you at least denied it when they caught you.

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:07:20 UTC

Well how can I not count cards? It wasn't some deliberate thing! It was just what I do when I see cards. It seems like a sensible strategy - why doesn't everyone do it?

jacqueline_t March 13 2010, 22:13:12 UTC

That's like asking why don't they have the forward pass in rugby--it isn't allowed. Oh, never mind. JUST RUN.

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:15:29 UTC

But everyone does it to some degree, even if their memory and on-the-spot maths skills aren't as good as mine so they're not as effective, they'll still be seeing numbers and making decisions based on the highest probability to win money. Getting angry with me because I'm better at it is like... threatening a champion chess player!

jacqueline_t March 13 2010, 22:16:26 UTC

And this explanation worked with the angry Hungarians, did it?

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:19:00 UTC

Well no, but they weren't very receptive. That's hardly my fault, though - that explanation is perfectly reasonable.

juliet316 March 13 2010, 22:19:32 UTC

Doctor, RUN!

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:21:18 UTC

Oh, honestly. Legging it out of town is sensible, yes, but they're not getting anywhere near me.

juliet316 March 13 2010, 22:24:10 UTC

Just go home with your lovely wife and you won't have to worry about them, provided you didn't actually tell them your name or that your connected to the Tylers.

juliet316 March 13 2010, 22:16:49 UTC

Most don't actually admit it or get caught doing it.

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:19:55 UTC

I didn't get caught doing anything - they just decided I was winning too much!

juliet316 March 13 2010, 22:23:23 UTC

When you started winning so much, that was probably a sign to as the song says "Know when the fold 'em"

alienish_being March 13 2010, 22:25:17 UTC

Well I thought we were having fun! I don't gamble for money, after all.
