BURP ! Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME
Thank you to ALL of you and an extra thank you to Captain Hook for the 'box lunch'.
I had a full day. I went to play poker for the third day in a row and I've made the Final table 5 out of the last six multi table tournaments (but I only came 'in the money' twice).
Thanks to the Discovery channel and their show Lobster Wars, I've had this craving for live Maine lobster, so that's where we went for my birthday dinner. When we walked in and walked up to the live lobster tanks, I noticed that there were some marbles in the bottom of the tank and the two largest lobsters were bumping into each other and moving the marbles around.
When the waiter asked if I'd picked a lobster, I replied, "not yet, I'm waiting to see which lobster makes a marble into the corner of the tank."
He looked at me strangely and I told himthat I'd call him when I decided.
The waiter came back twice more, asking me if I'd made a decision yet. I finally said, "neither one of these suckers will take the shot, they're both playing safe. Throw them BOTH into the pot for me."
SO, I had TWO lobsters and we both had the 'endless shrimp' dinner (with salad, baked potatoes and hot bread).... I had diet cola, because I'm watching my weight, now.....
On my way home, I heard on the car radio, that lobsters everywhere had put a bounty out on MY head.... Oy-Vey !
Thanks again for the birthday wishes, I have to go now, because my cake & ice cream is ready...
