Russian Roulette Or Poker Run

Edit: I thought a Polka was a dance not a card game

WTF is a POLKER run?

BluFin · 06-09-2006, 10:32 AM

Not sure but thats when you do a poker run to music

Edit:
Polka is defined as a vivacious couple dance of Bohemian origin in duple time was a basic pattern of hop-step-close-step; a lively Bohemian dance tune in 2/4 time.
The polka was originally a Czech peasant dance, developed in Eastern Bohemia (now part of Czechoslovakia). Bohemian historians believe that the polka was invented by a peasant girl (Anna Slezak, in Labska Tynice in 1834) one Sunday for her amusement. It was composed to a folk song "Strycek Nimra Koupil Simla (Uncle Nimra brought a white horse)." Anna called the step "Madera" because of its quickness and liveliness.
The dance was first introduced into the ballrooms of Prague in 1835. The name of the dance (pulka) is Czech for "half-step", referring to the rapid shift from one foot to the other

BluFin - You have to be kidding. Their spell checking is dismal to say the least.

I know of Oklahoma in the US but this must be some new state. The mods here deleted my last post taking them to task on the quality of the news item and I expect this one will get taken away as well but come on guys, he posts his info in the public domain, if its inaccurate or wrong then why wont you allow posts here pointing that out, or is it the good ole boys club here.

I don't have a problem with what you post, although you do seem to be on a bit of a mission at times!

I quite enjoy the typo's in the mag, keeps you on your toes.

When will we get the pleasure of checking yours out?

Tony - Sewell was very quick to attack us before for no reason so if I have a dislike for the guy, yes you are right.

I just find it amazing that such a serious incident like this gets treated like a kids story book with inaccurate spelling and reporting. But if thats the way they want to do business then good luck to them.

My magazine is on the presses as we speak. Chris Davies will have a few boxes sent to him via FEDEX so feel free to grab some from him.
