The Well
A man recently moved to a small village, very friendly, typical small community atmosphere.
Shortly after he settled in, the mayor of the village took him to the center of the village, where the village well was. "This is a mystical well," said the mayor. "Ask any question you wish, on any day except Thursday, and you will an answer."
Wow, thought the man. "That's quite impressive" he said. He leaned up against the wall of the wall, looking down into the deep dark abyss below, and shouted...
"WHY CAN I ASK A QUESTION ON ANY DAY EXCEPT THURSDAY?"
His question echoed off the walls for a few moments, then suddenly, his answer echoed back...
"BECAUSE THURSDAY IS YOUR DAY IN THE WELL!!!"
Seeing as how this is MY day, I'm offering this little get-to-know-me-better game. Here are the rules
1 - You are permitted to ask any question you wish of me, be it related to poker, professional life, my immense wealth of knowledge (yea, right), or what you wish, but you only get ONE question.
2 - I will answer every question asked today as soon as I'm able to. Please be patient
3 - Every question will be answered. However, it may not be the answer you're looking for or expect. I reserve the right to answer truthfully and honestly ONLY when and if I feel like it
4 - Two part questions are not permitted. I will answer the first part of a two part question and the rest of it, you're SOL.
As I said, I'll do my best to answer in a timely manner, however I may not get a lot of time today due to work and family issues. Please be patient, and I will answer your question. I'll quote every question I'm answering so you know I'm answer your particular question.

Only because you suckout too much
friggin flopping straight...I was representing that same exact hand
Darryl's been the points leader for three seasons now. And you KNOW he sucks.
Seriously though...all the players on The Hill are proficient, at least by MY standards, but that's pretty low at the best of times. Still, I wouldn't say any of them 'bad' players. I am still entering a team in the next Royal Cup event and we'll just see who sucks more.
To be perfectly honest, hockref, I haven't been following the battle too much lately. Not even sure where you stand at the moment.
But using my amazing pyschic abilities and crystal ball...I see you having to sell some property in the near future
Dead...Hitler, and just as hard as I possibly could too. Or else the man who invented GOLF...what kind of sick mind comes up with that shit?
Alive...a former boss I had once. Trust me, she deserves it too.
Great question, Cerberus!!
Cinammon's not that expensive!
Whomever's birthday is next
I believe this is the full list of players...if I missed someone, let me know
1. Voodoo suspect he's better than he is leading us to believe. 87
2. Graham he plays golf? 98
3. STR82ACE I know this guy sucks, so 105
4. Compuease old guy right? from the whites, I'll say 100. Ladies, 95. Kiddies tee...92
5. Milo okay, if he doesn't drive his cube...90...if he does, we'll be teasing him so much he'll hit 110
6. Wetts watch this guy! 84
7. Scott (Voodoo's bud) ummmm Scott who? give him a 89, just for being Voodoo's dude
8. Quimby have I met you yet? got to be better than me, though, so I'll say 95
ummmmm is there a question in that statement somewhere that I missed??
If not GTFO!!
Ok.. let me try that again.
Honestly it won't take more than 2 holes to realize I golf the way I say I do. My aim is to break 100 but the good news is I am still better than my buddy, but putting that aside my question is "When they first invented the clock how did they know what time to set it to?"
Easy...the inventor asked his wife...she seemed to know every other friggin thing in the world!
Can't wait for the world to realize how much easier Metric Time would be...10 secs to an hour...10 hours to a day...10 days to a week...10 weeks to a month...10 months to a year
Much easier to remember.
<for those that for second there thought about this one seriously...gotcha!>
Oh wise well-dweller, should that not read 10 seconds to a minute?
Just askin' . . .
Sorry, only 1 question per player...read the damn rules!!!
The only difference between SUPER Mario and regular Mario is that SUPER Mario got hooked into buying Cialis from an INFOMERCIAL ad. They claimed he could feats never before imagined.
Personally, I think he should sue
I had this very argument my last year of high school. The answer is obviously...
YES DAMNIT! OF COURSE IT MAKES A SOUND! JESUS, DON'T BE SO THICK!
This concludes my stay at The Well. Thanks to everyone who played.
The Well is now dry.
Personally, I cannot wait until September. I just hope someone remembers to pull up the bucket at the end of the day . . .
JHJ is on deck for tomorrow. Other than that, looks a little lean until early/mid-August.
JHJ I doubt very much will participate. Haven't seen or heard from him since before the stock crash last year...hmmmm, wonder if there's a connection?
Having it as a voluntary b'day thread is what's its all about...it can be a blast when everyone contributes, and the b'day victim is often kept hopping and backstepping to keep it under control. But its ONLY for one day, no more no less
Then there's guys like Wes who ALWAYS SHOW UP LATE!
Game's over Wes. HEY you already asked a question!! Nice try sneaking in a second one
Milton Slim
Can't be late! with 24 hours in a day
