Noodle, "Ouch" & a Long Table

Let's start out light heartedly...

My Chinese Friend "R" is adorable, the is the name one who says "nanananana-nine..." on the dice table stick position. Some oen a few weeks ago was teaching her american slang like "nerd" and "weirdo." So then she spoke up one day and called some one a "noodle" but it sounds more like new-doe with her sweet little chinese-girl accent. So we all just thought it was something chinese, calling someone a "noodle" and it makes me laugh and smile when she says it. So I started calling her "noodle" too. Then she asked me one day after work what it means to call someone a noodle. I said I had no idea, I just guessed it was her thing. But she said "no you teached me" tho I didn't... So she asked me what I call people when I tease them, I came up with "nerd" right away. So she said "yea, like noodle?!" I just looked at her and said "OK." I can't even come up with a spelling for the way "nerd" sounds coming from her! Then about a week later she said "it's not 'noodle' its "wierdo.'" But Noodle stuck, and now we just call each other "Noodle."


I had a Tall 30-something "M" next to my base today. I was using the stoop to be tall enough because I had a player on 1st, so I had to make it easier to reach. But M called me "3 inch taller girl" so I could look be tall like him. He cracked me up- every time he won he's kind of hit me in the arm in excitement. The 1st time was more like exstatic, over excitement. It startled the crap out of me. But it continued with every win and I said "Take it easy! I'm gonna get questioned at home,when my arm is all bruised up."

Oh and one time L was on stick and sent the dice to him when he was not the shooter, and L was busy talking as usual, to someone on the other side of the table. M pointed to the shooter and said "Hey L, I think that's your shooter!" So L looked then pushed the dice to the right person and L says sorry I was talking to someone. M said, "Oh, well don't let me interrupt you!" the next roll was a winner, Smack, I felt on my arm again! And M said "L, dorry worry about that comment, Do what ever you have to do to call those winners!" So I said "You gotta hit me everytime you win?!?!" He apologized and asked if I wanted to hit back....

Then L was getting tapped out off of the stick, and L was also on my side, so I commented to M "I've got bad news for you" and he was intrigued what it could be, I took care of the current roll's pay-outs and told him "Your friend is on his way over, and I had to take a break." But his reply was most unexpected... "Oh he's alright.. You're my friend tho! But I can't be your friend, You have a boyfriend or something..." Or Something! ;), Yup S is a Something Alright!


One more story...
Four guys from Chicago walk up and buy in 100.00 each. Players cards and all! One guy makes an early comment on how Long the table was. The other guy says "Long (pretends to undo his belt) I'll show you Long" I interjected "I seen that!" He said "You weren't supposed to!" I said back " I see everything!" A 3rd guy says "that's your job, right?!" I replied "Yea, Part of it..."

Then when these guys were rolling the 1st guy throws teh dice and when they land he said he needed a telelscope to see them that far away...I had to, just HAD to reply as I pointed to Mr. I'll Show You Long "Telescope- He's gone one, apparently!" And they all laughed together, And said I was awesome & had a witty personality.

It's Been a While

My time and energy have been preoccupied for a while... I've had a few things to talk about here but haven't gotten a chance to come back to tell you about it.

Let's See... A week or so ago- the infamous Aaron showed up on swing shift, nothing has changed there - he might be worse before the night winds down, he really embarrasses me with his naughty comments!

Oh- Last thursday, and a lot ever since, I have been teh cooler. Friday, I couldnt call a number for the life of me. The dice made 2 laps thru a full table of shooters with creating points then one of the following 2 rolls are sure to be a 7-out! It was Ice Cold!!

The following days have been almost as bad, but yesterday- for the 1st time, I seen all 6 points for the fire bet get made, I wanted to pass out, and not a soul was playing it, LOL... we rubbed it in pretty hard too! only One Dollar would have paid $1000.00. The Max bet of $5 on it would have been 5 times as sweet!

Someone called OSHA on O'shea's - Friday we had sound monitors on various staff members to register the decibles of the live band which has been entirely too loud for a few months, but if it stays where OSHA set it it will be perfect.

So far I am still at O'shea's, no sign of a transfer yet... *grumble*

Well Stanley has a new story on his dog-blog. Go check it out when you are done here, if you havent yet!

Thats it from me for now!
