mikeh Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't like the fact that each suit has 13 cards. 13 is well known to be an unlucky number. I'd like to see each suit limited to no more than 12 cards each. We should have a referendum to determine which card is eliminated.....personally, I've always thought that jacks were overrated...so that's my choice. Think of the benefits: the game would go faster shuffling would be less challenging each deck should cost a little less it would be easier to sort one's hand and to physically hold all the cards...which is increasingly a challenge for some of us as we age. counting winners would be easier on the big hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberlour10 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 In the summary....the official Dish of the Day in Water Cooler is: hotdog with bacon, ketchup, pieces of avocado and finnish tomatoes, a bit Worcestershire Sauce above....Voula :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 You guys all keep avoiding the core of the problem, namely that the ACBL system restrictions suck. Why would anyone want to ban innovations like avocado-free guacamole or avocado with ketchup, other than because some old reactionaries aren't used to them? Yes, but why should I be forced to pass the avocados when I have the precision to know exactly how many fruits are playing in in flight C at the Polish club?

Why would anyone want to ban innovations like avocado-free guacamole or avocado with ketchup, other than because some old reactionaries aren't used to them?I don't have a problem with innovations like these as long as proponents fully disclose details and offer prepared written recipes. Agree with Michael Rosenberg that some innovations lead to ethical problems, for example, when there are breaks in tempo and misinformation about ingredients.

Winstonm Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Equal color conversion is a good example. Seriously, how can anyone suggest equality of taste between an avocado and a bell pepper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y66 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 When you roast a chicken on its side, turning it over when it's half done helps cook it more evenly and keeps some parts from drying out. Using gravity in this way is also useful when eating some sandwiches. Not saying anything about the applicability of roasting to sandwich eating.
