MEATSQUATCH SIGHTED. MR. DECEMBER’S REIGN OF TERROR ENDS!!
Death,
Taxes, and Slick the December champion. These are the constants in life. Until
the Meat factory churned out a beast so horrific you can only look at it with
one eye…The Meatsquatch!!! 
The mere presence of this abomination caused one player to expel all his air
through the tiniest of holes, although we may need to reassess that opening in
the future. The Annual December coronation of Mr. December was a small event.
We had a lot at stake for year-end positioning, so a better turnout was hoped
for. The small group of players battled fiercely in the first hour, with stacks
changing by the hand it seemed. Cha-Cha couldn’t catch a break, but he did catch
the tour’s most expensive chip when Slick informed him he re-bought enough to
take that baby home!
The break brought
hot Papa Johns and other tasty sides, as the players digested the first hour’s
action. When we got back to business, El Guapo claimed the first kill squeezing
out the now airless Sponge for all his chips. That left him seated next to
Meatsquatch, and before long, they had their chips in the middle, and
Meatsquatch’s A-Q out kicked El G’s A-6 to end his hopes for a 3rd
place year end finish. Gamera was next to fall to Meatsquatch’s evil power,
setting the table for Mac tonight to overtake him for 3rd years end.
The Marshal was extinguished next, and Cha-Cha danced away soon after. Sandy’s
run was cut short with a 4th place finish, and then the unthinkable
happened. 
Mr.
December ran out of chips and cards with a normally acceptable 3rd
place finish, but his totalitarian reign of communist, sadistic rule was finally
put to rest by Mac Tonight. It took a former boss to finally do it, but Slicks
Christmas décor was missing one important ornament this year.
That left Mac
alone to face the mythical Meatsquatch; half-meatman, half-squatch. It only
took a few hands and a big shuffle to get these two tangled up all-in, and
Meatsquatch was not to be denied his place in history. He will forever, or at
least until next December, be the only name besides Slicks to grace the 12th
month champions slot. Congrats to Sandy for holding her own, finishing 4th
and fending off all the Swords.
Also congrats go
to Mac for coming back from 5th in rankings to take down the 3rd
place trophy. Marshal came tantalizingly close to his first tour championship,
but I’m sure he will gladly accept the well-earned 2nd place trophy
for this years efforts.
December may not have been Slicks month this time, but the Tour Championship remains at the Outskirts! Congrats on a strong finish and another year end title. Thanks to all that played this year, and hopefully we get stronger in the following year. Merry HannuQwanzMas to all!!!
