goose 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've never heard of this "city kids camp"i was born and raised in timmins and now live in barrie.The people i know did it in BC, and some way up in northern ontario.pretty much exactly what you did.I'm not putting you down. Everyone does there own thing, i would personally chose getting a education for a good career and make 300 a day sitting on my ass.which oddly enough i do. lol, which is why the money's going to a law degree.what school do u attend? or plan to attend?Doing my honours at Brock for political science right now. Probably do UofT law, live with my grandfather in Toronto. Might take a year off and work to save some $ though, hopefully I'll have a dealing job at a casino so I never have to treeplant again lol.P.S. whereabouts in Timmins, I was up there my first year, most bars per capita in Canada I believe.... good memories.

healeydays 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I had an ex girlfriend come walking in when we had a card game going that pulled a nutty and turned the table over ending the game and nite. Is that the same? Link to post Share on other sites
DunkinDonuts 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 they get comfortable enough to start coming around the camp and scravegingWoooooo Wooooooooooooooooooooooo [siren]! Grammar Police Officer DunkinDonuts again...I'm going to assume from the context that scravege [sic] is an attempt to merge "scavenge" and "scrounge" into a single world. One possibility is that scravege is an oblique representation of "scavage," derived from the Latin root scavagium, which means "to look at, or inspect," but my department has opted for the former interpretation.As a simple matter of procedure, I've logged the dubious word in the official blotter pending an official ruling, but I am forwarding it to the GP board for consideration as a new entry into the forum's recognized vernacular for discussing the actions of card-munching wildlife.- Grammar Officer DunkinDonuts Deputy, FCP Task Force on Word Splicing Link to post Share on other sites

Hobbes 1 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Ummm... You guys were in a tent with a huge ass bear, and he's worried about a $2 raise? I guess I'm not an outdoorsman, but I think I'd have bigger concerns being 20 feet from a grizzly bear. It had to be a grizzly bear too. If it were a polar bear, I'd just want to give it a hug.no, lol, not a grizzly bear. Just a black bear, once you set up camp for over two weeks they get comfortable enough to start coming around the camp and scraveging for good. They're not a threat unless you do something really dumb like pet their cubs.Like throw rocks at them? Is that standard procedure to scare away a bear? Link to post Share on other sites

BilliardsBoy 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Undoubtably the greatest poker story I've ever heard.I give it two thumbs way up!And I think the proper choice is that you just restart the hand. Who is to say what action would have happened, and being that you can't just deal out the damaged deck to see who wins the pot, I'd say you just start over again. Link to post Share on other sites
