Laugh for peace, meep, not your dad's dreidel
A daily miscellany of information by Michael Kesterton

Meep
“A few weeks ago, Thomas Murray, the principal of Danvers High School [in Massachusetts], banned the word ‘meep' from his school,” Erin McKean reports for The Boston Globe. … Supposedly, students at Danvers were ‘meeping' in ‘disruptive' ways … ‘It has to do with the conduct of the students. … The reporter concludes that deliberately vague words such as Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, bippy or meep, “all reinforce a truth about language that we rarely stop to think about: All words mean only what we all collectively agree they should mean, no more and no less. In Danvers, ‘meep' came to mean: ‘We'll obey your rules when we feel like it.' And that, in the end, made it a dirty word.”


A banker? Hit him

“An arcade game that allows people to vent their anger at bankers has proved so popular the owner keeps having to replace worn-out mallets,” BBC News reports. “Inventor Tim Hunkin introduced ‘Whack a Banker,' which is based on the older ‘Whack a Mole' game, at his arcade on Southwold Pier in Suffolk [England]. Mr. Hunkin said … ‘The bankers are bald and all look the same because that's how I think people see bankers, as faceless.' Players, who are promised a ‘truly rewarding banking experience,' pay 40 pence to hit as many bankers as they can in 30 seconds. When a customer wins, a voice says: ‘You win. We retire. Thank you very much to the taxpayer for paying our pensions.'”

Not your dad's dreidel

“For centuries, the dreidel game has been a Hanukkah tradition,” Michael Milberger writes for ABC News. “The simple gambling game remains a fixture at Hanukkah parties, but today it's often more decoration than entertainment – a party favour and not a party favourite. Fed up with dreidel's dryness, some Jewish entrepreneurs are putting a new spin on the tradition for modern times.” For instance:

Industrial psychologist Jennie Rivlin Roberts of Atlanta has invented no-limit Texas Dreidel, which combines regular dreidel with no-limit Texas Hold 'Em poker.

Eric Pavony of Brooklyn, N.Y., has ditched the gambling aspect for a faceoff of pure spinning power. In his Major League Dreidel game, spinners compete one-on-one for the longest spin.

Things You Need for a Poker Party

The next time you throw a poker party, make it as authentic as possible. How do you do that? Simply get all the casino equipment you can and make the environment fit. Get a group together, put on your visors and glasses, smoke your cigars, and get ready to bet. Here is what you will need for the most authentic home poker party possible.

One: Get an Octagon poker table with the real green and red felt.

Two: Customized poker chips, name your casino and give all your chips a look that’s completely ownable. You should probably have about 1000 chips, just in case.

Three: More than three sets of playing cards. Don’t get plain ones either, get some high quality, rounded corners, casino like playing cards.

Four: An automatic, 6 deck card shuffler.

Five: The best poker books you can find, in case the rules get a little blurry throughout the night.

Six: Of course you need snacks, drinks, and smokes. It just wouldn’t be a party without finger food and it wouldn’t be a poker tournament without cigars and cigarillos.

When setting up a poker environment, make it in a basement or somewhere cooler in the house, with lots of room for breathing. Take into account how many people you’ll be having beforehand and plan accordingly. You can stretch your theme a little further and set up a mini bar or outside tiki bar. You may even think about setting up a hookah break. Just make sure the bar stools, the napkins, and décor all go with the poker, Texas Hold’Em theme.
