Gambler Horse Names
Jan 10th

The wife, brother-in-law, and I played a good old fashioned board game thrifted while we were in chicago. Parker Brother’s 1975 masterpiece Gambler. A glorious game of chance that inevitably draws mass screaming in the stereotypical voices of gangsters and auctioneers. But throwing down wads of fake cash on horses simply numbered one through six left something to be desired. So we took it upon ourselves to google and vote on the best horse race names to give to our six steeds. For silliness and what-not I decided to post the winners.
- Gayfields’ Pistol Packin Mama
- Rollingwood’s Famous Cookie Thief
- Frisky Little Man
- Jerry K’s One Night Stand
- Boldest Cheddar
- Dance Hall Doctor
Keep on Gambling!
The GMX Suite Party
Oct 7th
“Aw shii!” one of the thugs said. “You a stormtroopa?”
“Ah dog, and he’s got Leia with em. She fiiine.”
On the third floor of a Nashville Radisson, in the triple doored executive suites, I drank luke-warm beer in the company of Cloud, Desmond, and a slew of other dorks.
A man dressed in a stormtrooper outfit made of the same glittering material as a discoball dominated the techno-thumping dance floor, along with the afro-buns of his companion Leia. Meanwhile BAR2-D2 drifted aimlessly about, offering beers and mixed drinks that fellow nerds were too awed to accept.
We stayed until around 2am, then found a Wafflehouse and discussed life, love, and politics.
A week from this day, we will be bound in holy wed-lock. What a delighful life we live.
