06/20/2004: "Poker, per Dave Barry"

Via Wil Wheaton, of all places, Dave Barry writes about poker:

All of these games are essentially the same: A person (or, in poker slang, "dealer") gives you some cards ("cards"), which you look at in a furtive manner ("sneaking a gander") to see if you have a good hand ("bling bling") after which you bet ("kiss the eel") by placing money ("cheese") into the pot ("marijuana"). This goes on until somebody ("not you") wins, at which point the losers express heartfelt congratulations in colorful slang.

If I ever invote you over for a game of poker, it would be proper of you to ask, "do I look like a charity case?"
