Post by: Ironside on February 17, 2013, 04:57:28 PM i dont know any of the dealers but could possibly work out who is which from going through the scoring system so as a tie breaker can i make up an intresting fact they all wish they was as good looking as reddog now do i win?

Title: Re: Meet the dealer. Post by: Tal on February 17, 2013, 07:00:13 PM For a school project, Matt invented the Duck-billed Platypus but his description and drawings were so life-like and believable, it has been commonly accepted as a real animal ever since, featuring in the Encyclopaedia Britannica the following January.
George has recorded a version of Britney Spears' Toxic in Klingon, in order to help a friend of his woo the heart of a Star Trek fan, leading him to be dubbed Cyrano de Nottingham. Adam was the man who encouraged David Mitchell to grow a beard, suggesting it gave him "a more august, rigorous demeanour". Scott threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain and wished to be the subject of a speculative guessing game. Title: Re: Meet the dealer.

Post by: pokerfan on February 17, 2013, 08:56:46 PM Adam told me his father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery.
His mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. His father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. His childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring he'd make meat helmets. When He was insolent he was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 He received his first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved his testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it. plagarised obv Title: Re: Meet the dealer.

Next time I'm at DTD, I'll let you know and introduce myself, although I'll warn you I'm a lot more boring in real life. Would only be a soft drink for me, anyway, as I'm teetotal.
