Remembering Christmas :)

(TD) 24 Dec 2008 7:05pm
As Joker sits all alone at the tree,
all the presents and toys a wonder he sees.
They left me to finish the mess,
Finish putting together and all of the rest.
He remembers the Christmases of long past,
I take a moment , a little repast.
I remember the gun, I got when I was seven,
As a child, I went straight to heaven.
I remember the bike that I got when I was ten,
Rode all over town, Mom said "where have you been."
When over seas, I carried a gun,
That Christmas really was no fun.
First child born, shortly before Christmas Day,
Was a very proud daddy, What can I say,
A few years went past, the tree got bigger,
I don't know what happened, how can you figure.
But sitting here now, way late by myself,
I can count all the blessings, I have a full shelf.
In the quiet, I can hear the sound of 8 tiny reindeer,
And know that the hooves of the grandchildren,
is now what I fear.
To all the Players, Staff, TDs, Administration, and Web,
I wish you the very Merriest of Christmases and a bright full New Year.
JOKER o(^*^)o

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
