Card Night 01-Sep-2009

The Curse of Warren’s Chair

Warren, the man himself, slipped into his own chair tonight.  Surely the Curse’s namesake was up to the challenge.

Alas, it was not to be.  The Curse took Warren for $47.00.

Who amongst us has the power to survive the Curse of Warren’s Chair?


Lyndon brought a bag of Strawberried Peanut Butter M&M’s.  Reviews amongst the players were mixed, although admittedly the oppressive heat had softened them a bit too much.

Talk turned to Marlboro cigarettes for some reason.  A few facts:

  • Marlboro was originally marketed as a woman’s cigarette.  In 1924, its advertising slogan was “Mild as May.”
  • During the 1960s, radio and TV ads for Marlboro featured the theme music from the movie The Magnificent Seven.
  • Three men who appeared in Marlboro advertisements – Wayne McLaren, David McLean, and Dick Hammer – died of lung cancer.

Everyone who won tonight had lost on his previous Card Night, meaning that the longest current “winning streak” by any player is 1.
