Declaring Victory
Winner.
No, not in the donkament. Didn't play. Tired.
No, not in Saturdays with Dr. Pauly. Didn't play. Birthday party.
No, not in any of the Sunday tournaments. Didn't play. Busy.
I'm declaring victory over the evil light fixtures. After years of head scratching, I finally figured out how to change the bulbs. The key?
This guy.
The humble suction cup.
After one long-ass visit to Home Depot, where I investigated every kind of light bulb and light fixture they had, I was able to determine - no thanks to HD - that the bulbs were GU-10 bases, of which there are only two important varieties. After perusing the internet, I had some ideas of what to try. Option one - attach suction cup and yank.
I didn't expect it to work, but it did.
Praise whatever deity you happen to believe in.
Anyway, I'm only declaring victory. I have the bulbs changed, but the replacements bulbs I selected - primarily because they were the only option available at the Home Depot - are a hair smaller and don't quite stay all the way up in the fixture. No worries, though - now that I know that these are Ikea fixtures, I can go hunt for the proper replacements bulbs at my leisure - all while enjoying copious quantities of bright halogen light.

There you have it folks, the worst poker blog post ever.
What can I say - the only thing all weekend that was even tangentially related to the game was ... I received what I think was my first ever international text-a-shot.
I'll do better. I promise.*
Anyway...
Coming up, don't forget any of the many weekly opportunities to call someone a donkey --
Monday: MATH.
Tuesday: Super duper Bodonkey. Skill Series.
Wednesday: Moooooookie and Dookie.
Thursday: Riverchasers.
Friday: Dollah Dollah Donkament Yawl.
Saturday: Saturdays w/ Dr. Pauly.
As usual, I will most likely be found playing like a 'tard in the Bodonkey and trying to overcome the superior poker skillz of the Rooster in Saturdays with Dr. Pauly. Other events are possible but not likely.
See you there.

I don't think I would be among the living if bars in the US had the same drink prices as Mexico.
