(Roman numerals, get it? Flynn cracks himself up) Okay, fine. How’s this for start of one’s day in Atrani? A donkey delivered to the doorstep. Kinda like Amazon Prime, but for livestock. Not more than 50 feet from the front door on the front patio, just left there for F & O to ponder upon.…
Flynn and Ollie are in Italy!
Flynn and Ollie arrived! Safe and sound, not really any sleep, but certainly a relaxing atmosphere on da plane. The flight into CDG was unremarkable, F & O both made it through border patrol in France without raising any alarms. Business class seats on Air France were pretty bad, but the food made up for…
And, We Are (Almost) Off!
Since we have 3 hours to kill at SeaTac, F & O figured they should go ahead and get a jump on the travel blog portion. This is harder than it seems, since Flynn is drunk . FYI, we are headed to the Amalfi Coast. Then Paris. We know, don’t say it. F & O…
The Dilemma of Travel
How does the jet-set of poker do it? F & O have been planning a trip to Italy (and Paris) for months. Duration of trips: 2 weeks. The thought process about packing and preparation is nutso. Flynn has been stashing an array of clothing items, making list after list after list, and otherwise obsessing over…
Busting dweebs at poker
Flynn experiences full-blown glee when certain types of poker players crash and burn at the table. Flynn also feels a little guilty for this glee, as he normally does not revel in the bad fortune of others. Ollie, on the other-hand, takes less obvious glee, but does not feel the least bit guilty about it.…
And They’re Off! Derby Day & Drunks Who Play Poker
On an almost-whim, F & O took off for Emerald Downs on KY Derby day. While they had been there several times before, going for such a momentous occasion (in the horse-world at least) was a new adventure. Here in the NW it was a stunningly beautiful day, with sun and temps hovering at 70.…
Epic Fail
Well, yesterday’s field trip to Fortune Poker was not so fabulous for the otter and the flamingo. We lost. Okay, we can still keep the house, and the cars. We are pouting, not tilting. Variance can kiss our fuzzy butts, cause it bites. Anyone out there have words of wisdom to make us smile and…
Twitter lessons ~ a rambling
Twitter taught Flynn something new (rare occurrence) today. Sadly, it was not earth shattering, nor is it likely to be used much in the avian world. But, Flynn does feel a little more ‘with it’ (as opposed to wasted), similar to when he figured out what various abbreviations mean such as “SMH”. SMH stumped the…
Earth Day = Good
Sure would be nice if every day were Earth day. Flamingos and otters need our environment to be free of human debris and greed to survive. They also need booze. So, for Earth day this year, offer your favorite marine animal a beer. The bird prefers the hard stuff. Thanks in advance.
10-deuce : The Fantasy
While scrolling through pictures taken by Flynn playing 1/3 nlhe a few weeks ago, this wicked thang reared it’s ugly head. Flynn, being the bird-brain he is (can’t concentrate for nutin’), says to self: “Self, this is the @TheTrooper97 ‘s favorite hand. Or at least what he used to think was his favorite hand.” Since…
