Welcome to the Euchre Club of Chicago weekly newsletter
-- a collection of event informtion, club news, gossip,
advice, and things that amuse us from the Internets. And
there's no truth to the rumor that we lost our pants during
the ECCTOC2 After Party @ Charlie's!
If you have ideas, gossip to divulge, humorous thoughts,
abject praise, rampant criticism, ideas to improve the club,
or you're just kinda lonely and want to talk, send a note to
euchrechicago@yahoo.com.

after party, of course! This year's party, like
every other after party, was filled with debauchery
and karaoke. If you didn't join us, you have no idea
what you missed. The photo is only a start...

Things that Amuse us from the Internets - Part Two |
|
|
In honor of our upcoming Halloween Party, we
present to you a monthlong look at some of the
scariest films of all time . . . re-enacted by
animated bunnies. Yes, it's cooler than it sounds.
This week we look at that classic, The Rocky
Horror Picture Show. Dammit Janet -- let's do the
Time Warp again!

Overheard at Euchre |

"I'm now officially jealous of Paul Zehren."
-Kevin Jackson, observing a romantic encounter at
Big Chicks between Paul Zehren and, well, some
random guy. It should be noted Paul left the bar

Ask Hoyle |
|
|
Dear Hoyle,
On my computer keyboard I have a key that
reads "SYS RQ." What the heck does that key do?-
No Earthly Reason, duh!
Dear NERD:
On some computers it's labeled SYSrq, on some it's
listed as SYSREQ, and on mac's, it's not there at
all. It turns out the key has no use whatsoever.
Early PCs used it as a special key for accessing
your operating system without interrupting whatever
software you're currently using. Well, that was a
long time ago. Now, it's sort of like nipples on
men.
-Hoyle

Daylight Savings Time
|
|
|
|
Your countdown to Daylight Savings Time continues --
on Sunday, November 4, remember to set your clocks
back an hour for the end of Daylight Savings Time.
And you know what else? Start coming to Charlie's an
hour earlier at 5pm. Our winter hours take effect on
Sunday, November 4 and continue until the spring.
All other play nights stay the same. Go figure.
