Tichu and Tex-Mex: June 2008 Archives

Nick and Stephanie

Thanks to Jon, we were able to make for for Tichu at Chuy's. Our server was pretty bad. She messed up almost every order and the final bill. But it was still fun. After all, how can you complain about Friends + Tichu + Chuychanga + Margarita + Hatch chili sauce + Creamy jalapeƱo + Chips?

John's cards in the window

The group went to Logan's for some Tichu tonight. Five people showed up, but thankfully, someone sat out. Because I was here for Tichu, I didn't volunteer. John sat next to an indoor window. Not only were the people on the other side trying to figure out what game he was playing but we could almost make out the reflection of his cards in the window.

B--- giving the bird

B--- doesn't want me to blog about her. She feels it would ruin her reputation. I wonder why.

Oh, my god, Magnum! This has to be the worst score-keeping eva! That is what I get for letting someone else keep score. I mean they didn't even bother to give the other team the remainder of the points when we said what was taken. I think they just made up a number. I did the best I could reconstructing the score...

Update: Apparently the score was Rittiman compressed. I didn't consider that as a possibility...
