Characters we all know and love/hate ;)

I thought it was about time for a little bit of light relief on this
newsgroup.

Here are some of my observations regarding after game comments. I find
excuses and after game comments quite amusing at times.. here's a collection
of some which most of you will probably recognise :)

Adding your own observations is encouraged and welcome :)

2Good2BTrue "EXCELLENT GAME XXXXX I got very lucky
there.." (Almost as rare as EasyGoing above ;) )

Smart_Arse "GG. By the way.. you lost due to that 4-3
earlier which in fact has a negative equity of -0.433234. Preferable was.."

DoubleKing "What on EARTH possessed you to take that
double!!.."

Nexxxxtt "GG. Bye" (To be translated as "Boy that was
an awful game, bring on the next puhleaseee!")

Im_Da_Man "Welll, it could have been worse. I decided to
spare you a gammon loss at the end there.."

Im_Da_Man2 "Normally you see, I don't entertain people of
your rating. 1800+ money only games is more my scene.. actually"

Im_Da_Man3 "Well its been fun, but I need to find some
competition now. Keep at it, byeeeeee"

GoneFishing "VGG! You're really much better than your
rating suggests! Fancy a 21 pointer? ;)

Gonefishing2 "Wow! How I won that I'll never know! I've got
all night, how about you?" ;)

Shucks " Ahhh geeee, I really shouldn't have won that
ya know. Those doubles and all......." (very, very irritating :))

A_Pologetic "Im reallly, realllyyy sorry. The dice were
good to me thats all. Please dont get upset.. You're not upset are you?"
(AGGGHHH ;))

Any names I've missed folks? :)

Well I hope the above brought a smile between the "50%+3 -5 -0.43333 equity"
postings ;)

Kind regards

PS

I forgot one actually.. this only happened last week and I promise is true.

Apparently I'm -and I quote word for word-

"A really nasty piece of work and extremely rude!!"

This was the reaction of a player, when I passed over a well timed cube on a
RATED 5 point match :) I should note that I hadn't said a word before.

I tried to explain that doubling is part of the game but she wouldnt have it
;)

Anyone else got any amusing stories?
