minutes from 2/07/96 (game #8)
------------------------------
   * george, mike, ken, todd, stu, hosted by mike
   * the game was moved to a Wednesday, due to carolyn's birthday party.  
   I guess poker players do have compassion.  It won't happen again.
   * spread: jalapeno poppers (not popular), stu's taco dip, chips & salsa,
   george`s left over clam dip
   * george revealed that he got sick last week on stu's pizza rolls.  Stu
   did not seem to worry about it
   * dennis falls to the temptation of work
   * there was talk about having veggie poker snacks, the rules committee is
   taking this under consideration
   * a new game, Charlie's Angels, was introduced by todd and george
   it will be part of the poker book when the dust settles
   * todd wouldn't match the pot (a lousy $0.55) for a 3 in baseball!
   * todd learned the hard way that A-2-3-4-6 is the worst hand in poker,
   not A-2-3-4-5.
   * when the new chips arrive, there will be an increase in the amount
   a blue chip is worth; blue chips will be $0.25
