As W. C. Fields (and my grandfather) said, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." [Sorry if this is "OT," GBlue, but -- she started...
Well in the "spirit" of OT, here's one I doubt I would have ever thought to ask but http://us.rd.yahoo.com/p/askyahoo/*http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20041101.html ...
Actually, there is a time to do it: When you have the right, left and ace (or, "king guarded thrice," as the Dozer Man might say), and you want to teach the...

Hi Ace, ... Most people I've asked adopt the attitude that since maker went alone, he'll surely score a point, so the lead of the R doesn't matter. My take: no...
OK, let's present these results in a meaningful and logical order, without the percentages, which don't mean much on a vote-for-as-many-as- you-like ballot;...
I think number 1 and 2 are correct. I think number 3, however, is leading the suit dealer turned down when dealer or his p make trump. Nothing like immediately...
Ok, I know I am the least experienced player here among all you card sharks, but..... I am still not convinced that leading the right bower on next is a boner....
Even though I did not vote on this. I disagree with Number 2. It's not a bone-head play. It may turn out turn out to be but that still doesn't make it a...
I initially made the same mistake you did, Ed. The poll wasn't saying that all of the choices are in fact always bone-head plays but rather when they ARE...
Hi Julie, ... Nor am I. ... My thoughts as well. If I have RX, I might be able to make them both good. I understand the argument for leading X, I'm just not ...
Hi Ed, ... Well, ANY move may fail. That doesn't define it as a bonehead play. The issue is HOW OFTEN it will fail. IMO, moves that fail far more often than...
This reminds me of a hand which happened a couple of days ago although it wasn't a loner. I named trump as dealer. Had 3 trump but neither bower. When I got...
I see them in the logs but they're not "pending" messages so I'm inclined to think that they were either sent to original poster rather than to the group or...
Well, Patricia, there is another poll - very recent - of which I am in profound disagreement with the results, but the electorate has spoken. (I think I...

Hi Ace, ... From Webster: bonehead :: a stupid person : NUMSKULL numskull :: a dull or stupid person : DUNCE dunce :: one who is slow-witted or stupid --...
"Ace" has a point. While going alone at 8 usually is "bone-headed," going alone at 9 usually is not. Going alone at 9 usually is merely rude or insensitive. ...
