"Hey are you from FTR?" "nnnno?"

[a500lbgorilla]

We need an FTR pass phrase to identify those other FTRers at the table. It's got no pratical use. It's just to help define us as a forum of kick-ass poker players.

So far we've got "Do the boobies bounce?" "Not on the moon"

And "Monkey or hottie?" "Either works for me."

We definitly need more ideas. I'll have the thread changed to a poll once we've got enough.

Think people, think!

[Spook]

Babe or Baboon?

Sexy or simian? (prolly wouldnt pass filters)

or maybe just a simple "FTR?"

[FlyingSaucy]

"Anyone up for a lemon party?"

[Sed]

whats a lemon party?

[mike4066]

"Anyone up for a lemon party?"

Fishstick your too slow, I'll get the banning request for this one.

[dalecooper]

"Do you know any quarter-ton simians?"

"how could u make that call? u XXXX... u didn't have the pot odds for that... jesus christ your a moron lol" [too long?]

"Herpes itch in the springtime"

[a500lbgorilla]

Clearly the format is lost on you folks.

We need a question and response.

-'rilla

[dalecooper]

Q: "Do you know any quarter-ton simians?"

A: "Yes." or "No." (either will do)

Q: "how could u make that call? u XXXX... u didn't have the pot odds for that... jesus christ your a moron lol"

A: "But my cards were suited... I could have made a flush."

Q: "Herpes itch in the springtime"

A: "You aren't bathing enough."

[jobupoker]

Question:
Can a FishStick ban a 500 lb Gorilla?

Answer:
Why not? He's Banned everyone else.

Q "Do I smell fish?"
A "Glub, glub, glub."

"are you the same person i am chatting with in irc?"
"yes"

[a500lbgorilla]

"Is asshat a verb?"

"God, I hope not."

[dar103]

Slightly different format, but could still work:

#1: What's for lunch?
#2: Monkey soupie and a 500 lb fishstick. What time do you want to eat?
#1: 11:23.

[koolmoe]

I usually say 'sup FTR, and get the response "What's FTR?" from all the FTR players at the table.

How about
Q: "Is making money fun?"
A: "It is for monkeys."

[stevedonel]

Q: You up for some rebuy & strap on action?

A: Only if its a 500 lb gorrilla with a fishstick

--edit--
I just felt like using some of the words of the day


I like Koolmoe's, short a simple

That would be cool. Or some other phrase involving monkeys and having fun making money. For example:

Q: What do monkeys do for fun?
A: Make money.

I like Koolmoe's better though. Actually Koolmoe's is hilarious, the more I look at it.

Been on holibobs recently?

Had any beautifuk hands lately?

Been speaking to King Monkey lately?

that gets my vote!

note to self
-ban anyone that mentions "lemon party" (crap! now i have to ban myself!)

[bigred]

This seems like a good idea. I was in an SNG and some guy had the FTR logo in his icon and I was like hey man, I see you're an FTR'er. He replied that he had no idea what I was taking about. I don't want to shout out names, but HEAVY C if you see this what's the deal son?

I'd like to add something not like a Q&A but like a secret handshake.

A: $10 Buyin
B:Many Rebuys
A: Beating AA with 47o
B:Priceless

[knightwalker]

Maybe something less.... um out of the blue.

How about a greeting.
Greeting A: Let's Rip
Response B: Like a Gorilla or Hoowaa

Ok the response needs work but you get the idea. Something that does not stand out so much.

[Xianti]

Q: Got monkey?
A: Tits.

Lose the question and keep the answer, and I think we have a winner!

Fishstick - not sure if you'll see this since you've been banned again but thanks for the vote! It wasn't easy to get that many references into one short exchange.

Note to anyone who reads FTR from work
If you don't know what a "lemon party" is, at least be smart enough to look on your home computer. Damn, now I'll be banned for discussing this stupid site.

This one gets my vote.

I'll stick it by my PC and ask the question at every table I sit at now.
Maybe we could set up a thread showing all the best responses from non-FTR's

BTW Is there an official pronunciation?
"ass" "hat" or "as" "shat"?

[TylerK]

Q: how'z everyone doin today
A: its elanto's Bday

inspired by Tyler's post in another thread...

It's like rock, paper, scissors...only it's monkeys, bananas, hotties.

Q: rock paper scissors?
A: monkeys, bananas, hotties

I like the rock paper scissors one because it implies you are a gambler to those who don't recognize.

These two particularly tickled my fancy...

A: "But my cards were suited... I could have made a flush."

Q: Got monkey?
A: Tits.

This gets my vote mainly because it's simple and people would just think nothing of it besides you being a smart ass replying…

I'm voting for this one, for "obvious" reasons.

Of the few times I floated "Is asshat a verb?",
half the time someone gets defensive, e.g., "But I had pot odds",
a third of the time I get, "no, a noun I think."
The other time was laeelin, who didn't respond to the asshat quiry, but did finally respond to, "Hey, FTR?"

The problem is FTR members are 4+ tabling and aren't reading the chat so it doesn't matter what you say.

[thenonsequitur]

Huh. Funny thing is...I never saw this thread, or in any way knew about this thread, and somehow I knew the secret handshake (and even used it successfully once). I always wondered where it originated (I don't even remember where I learned it now).

[FlyingSaucy]

it might be cool to make a stars list of all FTR players so we can script it into notes. not as fun as saying asshat in the chat window (er, ***hat), but it does the trick. for example the gauntlet list is like a spreadsheet with FTR->stars names. should be simple and completely voluntary.

asshats.
