Bloginated for a Nommie.
January 23, 2006It appears that I am a finalist in the 2006 Bloggies for Best Writing of a Weblog. I am honored and thrilled to be in such excellent company.
If you’re coming here from the awards site, you’re probably all, “What the hell is a Finslippy and why should I care?” Well, I’m not sure I like your attitude, new reader. And I see you giving me that look.
Wait, let’s start again. Hello! I’ve never explained what Finslippy means, nor do I intend to. I am an enigma. (Also it’s not an interesting story.) I encourage you to look at my About page, where everything else is made clear.
Above and beyond the Bloggies, many exciting things are happening all of a sudden, and the end result is that I am fighting an unremitting need to throw up. But in a good way!
More later.
EDITED TO ADD: I see now that using "exciting" and "throwing up" in the same sentence has led many to the conclusion that I'm pregnant. This isn't the case. However, I know from past experience that you probably still think I'm pregnant. People! If I had been pregnant all the times you thought I was we would have infants stacked up like firewood around here...

(Ha! I am funny and annoying.)
Okay maybe not.
Lucky us the since the slots are online there is no such thing as a queue and you can play when you want. You don’t even have to get dressed.
Not that this has any relevance to who plays slots and who don’t. There is clearly according to the latest polls more women playing slots then men. Men seem to drift towards the poker and table games. But here is something us men have to watch out for, they are coming. And they are also coming in swarms.
And since we men can not do more then one thing at a time (at least that is what the women say) we are in trouble. Take Blackjack, they should be better at handling two and three hands then us. Texas Hold’em is up for grabs because of the pace and many factors in the game. So when you are playing against a women you might want to hold on to your chips (and maybe your hart as well) she could end up owning both of them. Women know we are simple beings, and do have this factor over us when playing face to face. All men are suckers to a nice smile, so in all fairness any poker game that has both men and women in it should be played online.
At least you will not be distracted by that nice perfume drifting in from the women next to you. It is so faint but a man has certain instincts and will try to get a good sniff. So leaning in (ever so careful) I still get booted from a game for trying to look at other peoples cards. And I had a straight lined up. Even the big smile I got from the women next to me did not really soften the blow of getting booted. At least the dealer understood me and just told me to take a break for a while. That is my 2 cents worth on the topic of women and gambling.
Signing off for now and heading towards the slots, someone told me there is a good chance of meeting women there. At least that is what they tell me on http://www.streetslots.com
