December 2011, BQ Digest

Dear Digest Editors,

When will December's issue be coming out?

Sincerely,
Impatient of Tunbridge Wells.

Nice issue.

I agree.

Be careful what you wish for..........

I have been known to speak my mind, often times resulting in my foot being inserted in my mouth

Bona is out to get me, I'm sure of it, he like to stir things up. He calls me a "loose cannon" behind my back but I don't care, I rather like the metaphor

FYP

"I went to Mt San Antonio College for an AA degree"

I got a 72 offsuit.

I guess we have better public schools in the US then, but worse public healthcare. So you can see where our priorities are in this country

lol - I read that and thought it was some sort of temperance degree, maybe achieved in 12 steps?

Haha, I thought that as well, then I saw who the OP was and changed my mind.

I can't believe this is the subject of discussion!

For you unlucky members born outside the USA, an AA degree is an Associate of Arts degree given at a Community College aka Junior College. It is a 2 year degree, but credits may be transferred to a University towards completion of a Bachelor's Degree.

We have a wonderful State supported college and University system in California, and the cost of obtaining an Associates Degree is so minimal that it is easily accessible for any citizen. Many vocational specialties are offered in the Community College system, and it is an important gateway to higher education.

Ah - so an associates degree isn't the same as a proper degree then? I didn't know that. I think we call those "A levels" over here.

Yes, something like that GN

But, I want to know how many here knew that WDWF plays poker nekked on her couch while sipping beers? This should prove to be a great inspiration for her twitter promotion, anyone participating can request a custom picture from her holding a sign of their choosing. If you don't make her do one on her couch nekked holding a beer and the sign of your choice, you just don't recognize golden opportunity!

Can a staff member participate in this contest WDWF?

I have my sign already planned, and know what I am going to do to promote the twitter. I will not be shaving a likeness of bumblebee99 in the back of my head! It may have something to do with spamming my local card room

I have a question for OB!

Or bumblebee99, or Mikes007

How do players qualify for the end of year forum games? In Shanoobigans if you win a month then you are automatically qualified, but how about wild cards or other means of qualifying?

And for Shenanigans, how does that work since there is no monthly winner?

Jesus, I should know the answer for SHANOOBIGANS.

Each monthly winner gets a ticket automatically. Pre-Black Friday we had 3 games over the weekend, so there were 3 wildcards:

1: Most points accumulated in the NL w/out actually winning a month
2: Most points accumulated in the MHE w/out actually winning a month
3: Most point accumulated in the NL & MHE w/out winning a month or 1 or 2 above.

I think we also had the Sunday game winners included in the ticket race. Winner of the final gets a custom colour and undertitle.

Inb4 OB calls me a ****** for getting it wrong.

SHENANIGANS I have NFI because y'all play at stoopid times.

Look out for the forthcoming SHANOOBIGANS 2012 Suggestion Thread imo.

No need to call me by my family name, Dad insisted on that name, but Pyrite is fine here in this informal setting

And thanks for the great info, pending a correction by ObiWan.Bogus
