Again. Third night in a row with an insanely slow table after warning them what my current focus is, i.e. what kind of mentality registers to play internet poker within the past couple of months and deliberately plays slow to be annoying just for the sake of being annoying. We got ourselves a little bit of a side bar here. (And not the side dishes at the Bonanza buffet - a "sub story" (which is not the side dishes at a Subway buffet.))
More than an hour and a half and there's been only two lines of chat I've seen. A very pedestrian "zzzzzzzzzzzzz" - someone had to complain about it since I wouldn't. And this little gem:
Crei ke eras tu
My first thought was that this wasn't Spanish, which the screenshot shows is the homeland of this player. Et tu brute - my guess Latin. The actual answer is even more laughable. There's a Spanish song with the name "Crei que eras tu."
My memory of my high school Spanish tells me that 'que' is actually a pretty basic word. "Que hora es?" (Sorry I can't put the backwards question mark before that.) "What hour (or time) is it?" 'Que' is 'what'.
There are six possible reasons for this:
1) Spanish speaking person that dropped out of high school and never learned proper grammar.
2) Spanish speaking person recovering from a brutal grain thresher accident, on some serious pain meds and managed to get everything right but the "ke."
3) Lithuanian terrorsits have forced this person at gunpoint to purposefully mistype.
4) This person wants their 15 minutes of fame by making it to my blog, complete with all the rewards and glory that this encompasses.
5) Admin that just screwed up.
6) Real person that tried to deceive the Internet poker community and faking that they are from Spain. The benefits that this strategy has are unmeasurable, they are so off the chart. It's right up there with the 13 year old boy pretending he's a 21 year old lesbian girl. I know, because I have tried to pretend I'm a 21 year old Spanish lesbian in chat rooms....(time out while my Calculificon ASx313 (my Hewlett Packard calculator)
0 times.
Crap. That can't be right.

What's really disturbing is that I've had two 2nd places and a 3rd in the last three tables. When weird shit like this happens I'm used to be totally screwed over.
Doesn't change a thing.
