Last night’s poker was played at Jonah’s house. Jonah, Gary, Rafi, Eric, Adrian, Nik and Yossi were all present. We ate shriveled up wieners and two types of chips. There were at least two packs of sweet and sour Doritos. Adrian felt there was a lack of fizzy pop. But Jonah did knock up some very tasty ice tea as compensation. Adrian also moaned that the Bisley were of the worst flavour (pizza). Is this a trend in moaning behaviour? We shall have to pay attention.
Gary was exceptionally unlucky to have lost quite a lot of money on three occasions when he had a full house. He was understandably gutted at that. Jonah won money. Nik lost almost all of his.
The funniest gag of the night came quite close to the end of proceedings. I don’t remember how we got on to the subject (probably by talking about Adrian’s back waxing again), but Yossi said something like, “my balls are so hairy. It’s like a jungle down there. The other day I found a toothpick”. And then I said, “no Yossi, that was your penis!”. Oh how we laughed.

Two comments:
1) No mention of Yossi's public reprimand.
2) Have you noticed the similarities between mine and Yossi's graph....
Touchy, touchy Nik. And my second comment was not even remotely a critique, it was an observation on a 4 week trend that I was soliciting comments on.
You should be pleased that your blog is read and interpreted with such care. Every word is scrutinized... even a measly 3 word description of my being the big stack for the second week running. My interpretation follows:
It is written "Jonah won money."
"Jonah" - the inclusion of the H is to signify that this was Jonah the Son of Pransky, and not Jona of Cummings. Some versions read Jona, however this contradicts the preceding verse [not in our version] which states "Jona wasn't even there that night!"
"Won" - To the exclusion of losing. For as the pasuk says "My Son Jonah has not lost for two straight weeks."
"Money" - This is sarcasm. As it is well know that in the Israeli Poker Kings game, the blinds and table limits are not high enough to really win money. As it is written in the Israeli Poker Kings charter [previously set down in hair on Adrian's back; now lost. Although some say there is another copy on Yossi's balls]"And you shall arrive late, eat processed meat, drink fizzy pop, smoke cigarettes and play about an hour and a half of very low limit poker."
Well done Nik for packing all that meaning into so very few words.

I'm not sure that this is the correct forum for responding to comments on the blog. I believe that if Nik is going to defend himself (and there was an egregious omission from the blog, which Jonah was absolutely correct to point out), he should be doing it on line.

i'm not writing this blog in order for it to be subjected to such intense critique every time. actually, i was hoping that jonah would take the bait of my three word description of his winnings. but alas.
Very funny. I am most amused. That’s the kind of thing I’d write if I thought I should invest more than about 10 minutes of my time in the weekly blog.
