Last night the coffee machine gave me a cup w/ 4 kings.
The bottom of the cup was a jack of spades.

In all the years I've been getting lousy coffee from such machines, this was my very best hand ever. I was very happy about it and taped the cut and flattened cup to the wall with my name and the date and "read em and weep!" written on it.

FOUR kings. Man!

I've never bought coffee from such a machine. I avoid crap coffee at all costs.

Oerdin, you can't win if you don't play.

monolith, you've never seen the coffee machines that give cups with poker hands on them? Watch Terminator 2.

A few weeks ago, in one of my bi-weekly poker games, I got dealt 4 of a kind in two hands (no wilds used, as we don't play wilds). On a similar note, I've won $150 since Thursday playing poker

I'll translate the thread title for the non-native english speakers

"Last night the coffee machine gave me a cup w/ 4 kings"

Translation:
"Last night the disgusting dispensing machine spewed forth a brown skanky liquid that passes for coffee in north america into a cup with a picture of a poker hand consisting of 4 kings"

You Hos are just jealous.

Sloww, not at all. I recieved the awed admiration of my peers on the graveyard freight shift. The knuckle draggers were impressed. Now, they worship me like a diety, and have erected a shrine to the wall relic.

Whats the point in that? Surely a decent espresso is far more important than a lousy picture on the bottom of the cup.

And there was me thinking that the coffee machine in Terminator 2 was special.

Paul, that guy that bought coffee in T2 just before the liquid metal terminator got him didn't have as good a hand as my 4 kings! Not only that, I lived.

I don't recall what hand he did have.

Looks like they tried, but the screenwriter messed up.

Well that's just amazing. I thought I was paying attention the 3 or 4 times I watched that flick...

Some of us need motivation to reach the bottom j/k. Besides, "decent coffee" and "coffee machine" aren't terms that should be used in the same sentence, excepting the presence of the word "never".

Er...I don't think freight apes drink espresso. In fact, I'm pretty sure freight apes beat up guys who do drink espresso.
