Ah yes, the kind of picture SOPT was made for...
Here at my special place of business, there will be many times when card game will break out and you're not exactly sure how or why you're in the middle of it, but you kind of just go with the flow. The spawn of the majority of these impromptu card games is a man named ummm... lets call him Eddie.
Eddie is a crazy old Indian man, although he's not really Indian looking, doesn't really sound Indian, and he has blonde hair. I know that doesn't sound particularly convincing as to his authenticness, and I'm not sure I would have believed it either, but I have seen an Id card that said it, and he tried to scalp me once. If his stories are true, Eddie was wind talker for the United States as was his father. I think I believe it, but he's also told me that he has a Chinese brother because his mom worked at a Chinese restaurant and must have had too much rice. He's also told me that his mother has one leg and swims in circles.(makes sense to me)
Oh, where was I? Oh yes, the card games... Eddie is employed here, and he certainly does odds and ends, but what he does best is get a good card game going. He does this by walking up and saying either of the following, "Breakfast Baby?"(this is in the morning and the stakes are buying breakfast for everyone) or "Dollar Baby?"(this is at any other point during the day and could mean your paycheck is in jeopardy). The game is always five card draw, sometimes dueces are wild. When playing for breakfast, the idea is not necessarily to win but more not to lose. The man with the worst hand buys for everyone in the game.
Such was the case today and I'm happy to say that even though I didn't have a pair, I still didn't have to pay. That priviledge went to crazy Eddie, his king high wasn't quite enough. Breakfast was good, but I'm still worried about my scalp...
