Mookie Misses and Fractured Fingers
Wednesday nights I have footy training, when I get to run around and do something very Australian on the National Mall. Quite surreal really... kick a ball, "hey there's the Capitol building", catch a ball, "hey there's the Washington Monument."
I was one of the people advocating training Wednesday nights, freeing up Tuesday nights for WWdN action. Mookie's tournament runs on Wednesday night, though at 10pm local time I can usually make it. Last night I happened to get home a few minutes late, and so I had the brilliant idea of pre-registering for the tournament - a great thought to have a day late. But I'll look at doing it for next week. If I remember.

Typing is a little strange for me today. I managed to break my right little finger (it seems) at footy training last night. Since I have a crazy typing style it's not so bad, though I do use it for hitting the enter key. Co-workers who have seen the finger keep asking if I am going to see someone for it - I don't see the point really. It's only the little finger, and it's kind of straight. I have some mobility with it, so it should be good. I just will probably tape it to my right ring finger during games.

I just noticed that the next WPBT-POY event is this Sunday... and it's 7 card Stud. Let me put it this way: I think I have more experience with Razz than I do with Stud. Looks like it's time to dip into Super System and play a few sessions as a warm up. Does anyone have any good resources or links to help me get up to speed quick-like?

Oh god, as if your accent wasn't such a massive give away that you're an Aussie bloke, this post clinches it. "It's kind of straight"? Yeah, I know, no self respecting Australian male would ever go see a doctor for any football injury less serious than fatal wounding accompanied by geysers of gushing blood. And even then, he'd wait until the match is over!

Yea, we missed you in the tourney last night. Everyone was asking "Where is that Steve Irwin guy ? He must be at Outback."
Rocco would have like you to be there to take the weekly kick to the junk instead of him.

Also regarding the Stud tourney, if I can make it, I will breeze through the Supersystem II section on Stud and go read some of Felicia's past posts.

Couldn't it cause problems if it heals completely wrong? I would get it checked out, but I'm paranoid with those type of things.

You wouldn't have wanted to get the kick to the junk that I dished out. I think Rocco is still unconscious.
