The Winner.

If you see Brad on the street, maybe you should rob him. We might.. we're broke now after all.

This is an actual pregnant lady. No one kicked her in the stomach tonight, although it was mentioned a few times. Three time mom Charleen has been pregnant during every tournament she's played in now. While everyone else was buying beer for the big game, she was making cookies. She and I were the only girls tonight, and both of us ended up in the final four. We are all thinking of becoming pregnant before the next game, as this seems to bring luck.

#12:  Will

Our old roommate traveled over 100 miles to get here, only to come in last place. Will actually has his own little area on the sight. He has been known to be a really crazy drunk. He's spray painted what we think is Latin onto his vehicle, built two eight foot towers of beer cans he'd emptied and crashed into them with his body as some sort of a mourning ritual, spray painted "el barto" onto every middle school's dumpster in town, made custom clothing for his favorite barbie(Vitamin C) and took her out on multiple dates, and so much more. He has also made us promise to forever leave his favorite Christina Aguilara poster on the wall in his old room. We could go on, but why?

#11: Paul

We were all very relieved when Paul, the three time hardcore winner ran out of money. He's swindled well over $1,000 from us so far. Paul is a mathematician and astronomer who takes advantage of us weekly.

#10: Aaron, aka The Captain

Aaron put up a good fight tonight, just like he did on New Years two years ago when he broke my little ankle in a drunken stupor. He'll never outlive that one.

# 9: PJ, aka The Sober Guy

PJ horded his earnings from the past seven or eight poker games and bought a Playstation 2. Jon's partner in crime at 3km Comics, PJ is the ultimate geek.

# 8: Randal, aka The T-Bone Bandit

His actual name is Hudson. This was changed when Jon renamed him after a character from Clerks. It stuck, and now everyone calls him Randall. He's our newest roomate. He had a great game tonight, and was really fun to play with. Yay Randall!

# 7: Jon, aka The Drunk Guy

 Jon was the runner up from the last tournament, which he lost to Paul. Jon's trash talking style gave him no luck tonight, and he blames his poor standing on a lack of a better buzz. 

# 6: Anthony, aka The KISS Dude

As you can see here, Anthony is a fan of the band, KISS, which despite popular belief does not stand for Kims In Santa's Service. Tonight he was talking about having his tongue cut so that he can better emulate his idol, Gene Simmons. He is also planning on getting a tattoo of this guy's face on the back of his head so he can freak people out while riding his motorcycle in states where helmet laws do not exist.

# 5: Dave, aka The Joke Man

The nickname may have originated because he was the head designer honcho guy for Tribes 2. Dave's bad tie and tasteful barrette brought him little luck tonight. Randall refers to Dave as his "Arch Nemesi". Randall says that this is the black way to say it, and we don't question his blackness. The two don't get along very well. This brought a little tension to the room. Dave was a great sport tonight though, and we enjoyed having him over.

# 4: Charleen

Charleen is the featured loser, as seen above.

# 3: Max, The Cabin Boy

Named at the same time as The Captain for some reason, Max walked with around $800 at one game. He's finally living back in town after a long absence.

# 2: Kim, aka The Tard Basher

What can I say? I'm the best loser here! It was just Brad and me, head to head in a furious battle. He was kind enough to give me my buy in back, which was nice since I had spent my very last $36 on this game. I think it might have been my lucky pink dress that did it. I had actually planned on giving away free shipping to all Steel Girl sales this month if I had won, but alas. The next tournament will be mine. Find out why I am called The Tard Basher on this page in the article entitled,"Steel Girl: Merciless Retard Basher or Stupid Dork-face? You decide."(10/27).
