You know you are a Chip-A-Holic when... (4 Viewers)

I was cleaning a large batch of chips and was thinking about the old Jeff Foxworthy skits "You know your a redneck when" and got to thinking it could also apply to chips.

Some to start it off (True stories)

When the casino scene in a movie features a hot brunette bending over the table and showing way too much cleavage, and you blurt out "Look at those spots! I'd kill to get my hands on that rack!"

And you aren't talking about the boobs.

If my laptop (with PCF on it) counts as chip related, then yes, I literally have more chip stuff than work stuff on my desk right now.

 

[derekdd23]

I thought I was the only one! although you are slacking with only 17 chips!

 

[pltrgyst]

You have sets you have never even played with

Is there anyone here who doesn't?

You put starting stacks out on the table just to visualize how good it will look when you have your next game.

@ Mc Donald's you start stacking chicken nuggets.

We recently did our Muscular Dystrophy "Fill the Boot" fundraiser. when counting the change that we collected (over $400 in change alone) most of the guys were counting it 2 coins at a time. I built stacks and matched up stack heights. Needless to say, I whooped them in total coins counted.

...and dimes stack for shit.

They seem to stack fine to me

When you're in the wrong time zone so you set an alarm for the middle of the night, every night, so as to not miss dibs on any new classifieds listings!

 

[Mr. Cheese]

When you call in sick so you can be online for a chiproom sale.

 

[mike32]

When you have chips in your set with denominations you know you will never use AND you worrry you do not have enough of them. Gotta complete that rack!

 

[DrStrange]

Not only do you keep buying more sets, but the average size of the sets keep getting bigger. I once thought 500 chips was plenty - 100 X1 / 200X5 / 100x25(20) / 100x100. These days I think 500 $5 chips might not be enough.

Lots to be said for having 1,200+ chips "just in case" we need that many one night. However I never EVER buy a big set without it hitting the table PDQ after the chips arrive. There is nothing in my horde that is playable for cash stakes which has not seen the felt.

so maybe I am ok? -=- DrStrange

When the words "official casino weight" is not a selling point.

 

[MD Mike]
