BRIDGE CHAT



hylfy was from the People's Republic of China, and had his comedic bone removed.

He bid and made 7 Clubs, so I was congratulating him on the hand.
is that all p? (meaning, there is nothing else, this was when the hand was already decided, he just had yet to finish it, I was trying to be funny, with the WOW and well done partner (wdp)) 

Perhaps "WOW" means something entirely different in Chinese? 

Anyway there were no good Chinese google translations for "fuck u r mm" so that's baffling.

(Xie Xie is thank you in Mandarin.  Only someone crazy would respond to his chat with thanks. It's best to look crazy in a knife fight.)  

The "nice" part was as facetious as can be, or, congratulating him again on the hand, ambiguity is our friend.

We played for several more hands and kicked butt, he was good.

And we parted friends.  

My pacifistic tendencies continue to serve.

Your illness, my muse

JS

I'm making illness
Coughing, hacking, sneezing, ache
my muse for tonight

When am I grateful?
Not the morning,  how passe.
For me, it's at night.

I go to bed naked
and assess each part of me
toe to tip to top

As I register
each organelle and feature
let them drop away

And, if by the end
each part of me is floaty
Nice senselessly numb

Then i know I'm good
and fall asleep easily
curious about dawn

Can't think of worse fate
to lead painful existence
I'll settle for numb
