I Dominoed the Mayor at Aalto, Just to watch him Cry

In true BONES fashion, shout-outs are ringing through this post!
Some of you might know that I play a bit of the bones, rocks, the tiles–or if you’d prefer, dominoes [1]. Dominoes is not a game–it is pure strategy and war–Michael Douglas vs Charlie Sheen war [2]–a way to live one’s life :)
I’ve been battling around town (Aalto, Jace Gace, Chin Yen, B-Side, Plan B, etc) a bit lately against the Mayor (M.O.B.) [3], Enigma [4], Six-Ace [5], The Slammers [6], C-Block [7], Fizzabella [8], Drunken Noodles [9], Becca and Trav, and of course–My Arch-Nemesis and the Stumptown barista-rrific S.P. [10]
One might say, the posse’s getting bigger, so posse move ahead.
In Late September/Early October, we’re launching “PDX Bones, Hugs, and Discontent” [11] (Title is WiP). The games will be played at Jace Gace (beer and waffles) [12] and the B-side (patio and “Old Style” [13]).
You don’t have to know how to play or own your own bones. We can accommodate 20 beginners or so, and we are down to teach–here is a starter guide though [14]–we’ll be playing standard, all fives, six-count dominoes. [15]
We introduce some of our own rules such as the ever so popular “big-six to start”, “ten to get in”, and the “twenty-twin-twin”. You will just have to be there I guess. The goal is to get enough people who can play well and establish PDX as a domino tournament city. Then we will take those fools in Cali who say they are the best and be on our way to battle Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans for that $1Million World Domino Championship prize! [11]
Oh…and we’ll work in some prizes during the club nights also (Katu, we would like more free stuff [16])…come, the posse’s getting hungry, and Pipeline is treating…. [17]
