SpiderMan: Back-Counting Question 2

[SpiderMan]

When I backcount afar I sometimes have a hard time identifying the 8's, 9's and 10's from each other. A friend of mine told me that having carrots for supper can do the trick, but I don't believe that. Any thoughts on this? Should I need more practice?

I think he meant that carrots can improve one's eyesights. He's oriental...

In Snyders book he talks about an older man who invented a count system that didnt count 10s just paint because he had a hard time telling tens from 9s and 8s you might want to pick up a copy. SM

I do have a copy of BJW, and Arnold says that the count system used by that older man was slightly inferior to Hi-Lo...maybe I'll play-all with Hi-Opt II...

In your post above you said "He's oriental..."

Grammatically speaking, human beings are Asian, while objects such as furniture are oriental. While I'm the last person to correct any one else's grammar or subscribe to political correctness, calling a person Oriental (in essence referring to them as an object) is considered offensive by many Asians, of which we have many loyal customers, visitors, and friends.

Example: "I made love to the hottie Asian blackjack dealer in my oriental bed."

We all need to keep up on the changing correctness of expression.

Once upon a time, the capital of China was Peking. Now, that's a duck, and the capital is Beijing.

Once upon a time, a sheik was a "sheek"; now he's a "shake."

Once upon a time, blacks were Negroes or, um, blacks. Now, they're African-Americans.

And, once upon a time, people who came from the Far East were Orientals. Now, they're Asians.

You can probably think of a million more examples.

... once upon a time the first people to inhabit our land were Indians. Now they're Native americans.

Once upon a time the people who lived in igloos were Eskimos. Now they're Inuits.

And on and on and on.

Once "Colored" was an acceptable term for an African American; consider the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Now "Colored" is unacceptable, but "person of Color" is used primarily, if not exclusively in left-wing circles.

A civilian is anyone in the casino who is not an advantage player or casino employee.

A ploppy is a particularily obnoxious and clueless type of civilian.

A civilian may play perfect basic strategy. Ploppies never play basic strategy because they have their own systems that are infinitely better (according to them) than basic strategy.
