Fluffy Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Don't forget the Master of Puppets (metallica) Also form metallica could be: One (one down or one level not sure), Hero of the day (suicidal sacrifice that turns good, or an excellent play of some kind), 4 knights of the apocalypse (for a team name), Nothing else matters (gran slam on a finese, where you either go 3 off or make) and the self explaining 'Sad but true' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Just dropped the kids off at school and had the new Coldplay CD playing.

kenberg Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 "No particular place to go" (Chuck Berry): A redouble for rescue. If we can expand this to the naming of plays: "Din-a-ling (also Chuck Berry)": Another name for the practice finesse. "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash): A surrounding play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 'Mirror, Mirror' (blind guardian') convention to let partner know that you also have a 5431 on those suits. 'Back for good' (take that) to take the bidding back to a safe level. 'Little discourage' & 'Rescue' (Idlewild) self-explaining. 'We're not gonna take it' (Twisted sister), when declarer tries to stablish dummy's KQJxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" : Bid made late in a team game when your side desperately needs a good result. Makes no difference if it's spades or hearts, just give that bidding everything you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
