What is your favourite card?

[ontario claret]

For me, the ace of spades wins every time. Doesn't matter the game.

1. Jack o' diamonds.
2. Queen of hearts (I like my tarts)
3. Any deuce

[KLClaret]

Always had a soft spot for the 3 of hearts,me

[TheFamilyCat]

The red one shown to Andre Bikey in the play off semi final.

[ontario claret]

Good thing that card wasn't up the referee's sleeve, Family Cat, or he might have been dealing from the bottom of the deck.

And what, exactly, is Omelette Day, BoT?

[Bin Ont Turf]

And what, exactly, is Omelette Day, BoT?

It's when strawberry blonde haired people entice influential midfielders to a football club by making an omlette.

[ontario claret]

Oh. I just had to ask. And to think that I actually missed it.

You've never played Raps then! The ace of spades would bring a tear to the eye when it was drawn.
My favourite is the joker. I used to carry one in my wallet when I was on detachment in the RAF. It allowed you to get away with being late for work after a heavy night. Only once though! Once it was handed in it was gone.

[Funkydrummer]

Matchday.

[Juan Tanamera]

ABC.
He's a card.

[Steve1956]

A birthday card from my son, he often forgets.

[ontario claret]

Raps? Never heard of it. Has it something to do with a style of so-called music preferred in certain inner-city American locales?

[tim_noone]

A one eyed jack.

[JohnMac]

One that isn't eaten by the ATM

[titsoutforthelads]

Queen of Spades

It was a game played at school that involved getting your knuckles rapped by a pack of cards. If you lost the hand you had to split the pack to find out the amount and severity of the Raps you received. Black suits were hard and red were soft. A black ace was 40 hard. Horrendous game really!

[FactualFrank]

I think anybody who prefers the Spades or Clubs is just being racist. And if you select the Jack or King you're being sexist.

[yorkyclaret]

So you would pick the Queen then you homophobic bar steward

[ontario claret]

Obviously, you lived in a very tough neighbourhood, Pearcey. The worst we ever did was play "Engine, Engine No. 9." It involved folding a piece of paper in a certain way, and placing it on your hand. At the half way point of reciting "Engine, Engine No. 9, Going down Chicago line, If the train goes off the track, Do you want your money back?" Choices were yes or no. Y-E-S had 3 syllables, N-O had 2, so you would get different results. The results were folded inside the paper. It was my friend, Gord Richardson's, favourite game.

Hell fire, I'd forgotten about that game. Brings back memories of packs of cards stained with blood, ripped knuckles and detentions. I haven't a clue how we used to play, but do remember the worst element which is when your opponent was allowed to "step" the cards for maximum damage. Much detailed research was done on different types of steps and which could inflict the worst damage.
