new pub games +++

last night i learnt 2 new pub games. one involves money, the other, flesh.

the first is a "killer" pool game. you get 10 people (or however many you reckon would make it worth your $ playing) and each player puts in $10 (or however much the players agree on) and you get 3 "lives". you lose a "life" when you miss a shot, and the next player takes over. so you take turns this way, eliminating the players and the last one left with a "life" takes all the money. seems like a pretty easy way to me to make a couple of quick bucks if you don't have to nominate which ball to pocket, or which pocket to pocket it in.

what is more curious was the woman who told me about the game. thing is she came into the pub (she was sitting outside, i vaguely noticed) with her drink and plonked herself right next to me. well, she made a few heads turn and since i didn't think any of the boys who were looking at her were going to chat her up, i thought i'd be nice and start a conversation. she obviously dressed to kill, so in my head was going "SSPG!". i thought i might try to find out, in the few minutes that i was going to talk to her, if SSPG's had any interest in talking to other women, just for the heck of it. (in case any of you are wondering, NO, she didn't yank my chain.) then her accent threw me off a bit. it didn't sound local at all, and it was a bit weird, close to filipino, but not quite it. so then the SSPG suddenly became a working girl. (plus up *that* close, she did look a bit washed out.) what puzzled me further was that she had this fuck-off huge diamond ring on her wedding finger. *and* she was using her Platinum Amex Card to pay for a bottle of heineken that costs less than $10. and she tipped the bar the same amount.

doesn't bother me that she flashed her wealth in front of me. (personally, i wouldn't use a card to pay for a bill that small and then taking out a $10 note from her big fat wallet to tip the staff, that just made her look stupid.) i reckon i can beat her at "killer" pool any day. but a tai tai (i did ask her - she's local malay) dressed up looking like a whore (sorry if this sounds offensive) with an accent to match the look - this, i don't get.

so the 2nd game is pretty straight forward. you're supposed to play it with shots of whatever you fancy. "Do or drink" - you come up with 2 names of the nastiest people you know, and the other person has to choose who to "do" or drink. if you're too wimpy to drink, you'll just have to put up with your friends laughing at you all night. the best names of the night (of course i was the one who came up with them) - LKY & GCT (again, no offence intended). other names of politicians followed, but they just weren't as funny as the first ones. also, we didn't actually play the game with shots of drinks, (the other player being the person behind the bar - yes, the one who thinks that Aragorn is girly), which made it easier to say "drink!" but it was fun.
