"Walkin' the plank" at Captain Cook's

[Izaak_Walton]

THAR SHE BLOWS--and she blows big time, mateys. . .

Figuring to line meself up for a pirate's treasure trove of riches, I was, when I signed on with the Cap'n. $50 signup, $50 WEEKLY reload, rakeback, and the all-important miniview that allows me to play 4 tbles without overlap on me purloined laptop--I was in heaven, I was . . .

First omen of bad times ahead when I noticed the albatross perched on he Capn's mainmast--but that's just superstitious drivel I says to meself--nothing wrong here . . .

So I rushes to me first table, eager to get 4 set up so the treasure can start pourin' into me coffers . . .

Blimey, I keeps disappearin' off the waitin' list--maybe the Capn's crew heard I was comin . . . but I persists, I does . . .

At last--a table--with me lightnin' mouse technique I clicks on options and mini-view--WTF??--she's not mini-ing, mateys--she's just layin there big and ugly and slow . . .

At this point I hears an earsplitting screech and I looks up to see the albatross laughin 'is arse off . . . hmmmm

But they don't call me tough for nothin, mateys, we'll see about this . . .so after tryin all the options available at the table I figures I'll open up the lobby window and see if there's more options there. . .I looks down at the windows bar at the bottom of my screen and sees that there's only 1 window open for the Cap'n--so's if I wants to see the table and the lobby at the same time, I's outta luck . . .another earsplittin' screech from above . . .

Well, Fxxx'em, I says, I'll just open up a couple mini-windows on me trusty gamin'club, play off the hands to get me bonus from the Cap'n usin the ONE crappy window 'e gives ya, and be done with it . . .

Blimey, me Gamin'club won't open when I has the Cap'n open--now the bloody albatross is sittin' on the top o' me screen laughin' right in me face--crappy fish-breath, too. . .

I's lowerin' me colors, Cap'n--you wins the battle . . . [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
