[x] The group sitting near the window. Naomi and Angelina are hanging on Lenny's every word as the older man tells some kind of elaborate story that involves a lot of gestures with his hands.
Hey, Networking. And Lenny seems like a cool guy.
Off on a slight tangent here but... About Kevin...
Now, I'd never actually do this (if I expected to go back to the place/without a friend nearby) but there's a great... not quite a scam you can do with a dart board, a twenty dollar bill, and a jar. The Play is this, you tape the twenty to the dartboard, and you set out the Jar. Pay a dollar, you get to throw a dart from the line. If you hit the bill, you take a step forward and throw again. If you Hit, you step back to the line, take one more step back, and throw a final time. If you hit, you get the bill(and half the pot). If you miss at any point, that's it, game over. Of course, after you've got some someone who's trying at it a lot, you can start accepting payment for the throws in advance. After all, they're going to get their money back, right?
The thing is, even if you're really good at darts, you're going to screw up the first several times because the going back and forth is not only strange, but something that would hit the first time might go too high the second, and way too low the third. The whole game is designed to screw up your aim.
I'm not saying thatAllenTommy would do this. But Kevin? Well, that's another story. That said, most of the guys I know who used to pull this would then use their half of the pot to buy a round for everyone. Not only did this keep people playing(and some guys would do this two, three times in a night), but it kept the owner happy, because he got a cut too. Naturally, they always waitd to see if the Winner would buy a round first. No sense spending their money if someone else would, after all.
