Brandon “Grand Master Melimel” Wins First MNPL® Tournament as New Doritos Sponsorship Deal Imminent
With the Poker season winding down for the summer and as golf clubs get dusted off, newbie Brandon “Grand Master Melimel” won a nice $70,000 pot that will pay for a few sushi dinners with his fiancĂ© Pokohontes! “I beat the Juice like a rented mule and folded him up like a lawn chair. I slapped the freckles off his face.” I’m not sure that he has any freckles Brandon? “Whatever, it’s just a saying. I’ve caused my first ever dreaded Smith Collapse and I’m very happy with my play as of late. I’ve been able to bring my game to the next level. A shame all these veterans can’t keep up with a young upstart online player like myself. The $50 dollar satellite tournaments are the bane of their existence.” The tournament was held at Edinburgh castle looking over Princess street in Scotland. In attendance were many Scottish entertainment elites like Sean Connery, Annie Lennox and Billy Connolly.
League Commissioner Joseph “The Calculator” Kline was up $10,000 at the end of the tournament, however he was clearly disappointed with the violation of the poker rules near the end of the tournament and threatened to revoke people's cards and poker licenses. Now Kline and his colleagues will report the case to the disciplinary committee, which will have to decide whether the athletes can be sanctioned because they refused to follow the rules. When contacted, a judge at the MNPL® Poker federation refused to discuss the facts and could not explain why the athletes had suddenly decided to play by their own rules. “It’s unsound and they should be hung and quartered.”
Kline had this to say. “I’m sorry but I’ve been a bit distracted as of late and haven’t received a final ruling on the fines for random punching. I’ve been focusing my efforts on the Vancouver Olympics. I’ve been voted in as the commissioner of the Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society. Vancouver sex-trade workers need to know their rights when dealing with cameras and reporters and will be offered media training ahead of the 2010 Olympic Games. They are located in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside and we will be holding the training sessions in November. We just want our members to feel safe. Media attention to the area can be a little less than compassionate and we don't want them to feel like animals in a zoo. We just want (the sex-trade workers) to be aware of what their rights are around media, including the fact that it is legal for the media to take pictures of them on a public street," Kline also noted he has purchased a brand new camera with military grade night vision lenses.
The Doritos Hand of the Night: Stewie “The Gimp” MacDoogan beat the Calculator for the hand of the night... Joseph has AH and 10C. Stewie has 7H and something else.... Flop is. 9H 10H and JH. The Calculator checks down...stewart says come on 8H is normal bullsh*& style and sure enough 8H comes. Joseph with the nut flush – hearts suited and Stew with a straight flush. Last card is a QC. Stewart goes for $50,000 more and Joseph calls and goes down with the nut flush. Overall Stew loses $20,000.
Interviews With the Stars
Clint “I Saved My Balls” Oris was a basket case this week after his girlfriend actually tried to remove his testicles which has been a running joke. Clint woke up and noticed his girlfriend with a pair of hedge cutters leaning over his naked frame and has filed a class action law suit against her even though he is an individual. She said she was going to cut his engorged toenails which have been shredding their sheets for years. Clint was so upset he got hammered to the point where he was in a show down with The Juice and as The Juice was contemplating the all in, Clint graciously showed him his cards. Ouch...not so much fun when you show and tell before the other players call. Clint was up $10,000 despite his best efforts to drown himself in Crown Royal. In an effort to support his gambling habit, Clint was washing cars before the game and in order to get a bigger turn out he stripped down to his wife beater (even though he is the one in the relationship who gets beaten/whipped). “It clearly didn’t work. I washed three cars and made fifteen bucks. The soap and bucket cost more than that. What a waste of time. FACK!”
Stewie “The Gimp” MacDoogan says he loves cottage creamers. “That’s when a girls discharge is clumpy.” According to Urban Dictionary. We are not sure how this is relative but we do believe in free speech. Next Monday on May 25th will more than likely be the last stop on the 2008-2009 MNPL® tour. Stewie had this to say since he will be hosting once again. “Please note that Mr. MacDoogan will be on a rampage trying to avenge his dirty river beats over the past year.........so be worried!!! Joseph don't worry I'll let you sit to the left of me this week.”
Steep “Weekend At Bernies” Kline was a last minute fill in and quickly discovered that Clint was driving without insurance. That said, since Steep is a part time bouncer and mall cop and behind in his imaginary quota, Steep took a TV time out to issue Clint a $5,000 ticket that in no way would ever be considered a real ticket but no one wants to piss off a mall cop bouncer do they? Steep ended up losing $40,000 in total losses which included being on the losing end of a Kline vs Kline battle. Doesn’t anyone know Joseph Kline never bluffs! After losing this amount of money, many MNPL® players are concerned that Steep, who actually has a gun license, could return to seek vengeance. Having a blood relation to the commissioner is a moot point. Stayed tuned to find out which of the players might be gunned down next week.
Tal “The Juice” Mastrovich performed his first ever Smith Collapse losing $20,000. Tal and his anonymous business partner however made $20,000 from playing on Clint Oris’s addiction and inability to make decent, profitable bets. “There are two kinds of gamblers, fools and thieves. I know which kind I am and I know the kind of better that Clint is” Said the Juice after pocketing the extra cash. “I’m glad my other endeavours are earning some bucks. I have to pay for the patio, someone to put together my crib and for a whole bunch of crap that babies need. My wife keeps bugging...touch my belly...touch my belly. There’s an alien inside there! I’m not touching that! He’s probably smoking cigars and counting cash already, I’ve been playing those subliminal tapes by strapping a ghetto blaster to her belly at night. I usually sedate my wife so she doesn’t know. It’s amazing. All these people get all excited about a baby. He just better not disappoint me. The worst thing I can imagine is him going bankrupt. Marrying a black girl, being gay or not attending university. Who cares! Just don’t ever go BANKRUPT. Little Igor, oh do I have plans for you!”
Boris “Forest Gump” Gaudio was upbeat about losing only $30,000 this week. Why he is still trying to make it on the poker scene is anyone’s guess. Boris did have a winning night by dominating the half time show (played after the game because of TV scheduling issues) of his famous Forest Gump ping pong styling’s. “He’s like playing a backboard, he never misses.” Said the Juice after being manhandled by Boris. Gaudio is also looking ahead to the Vancouver Olympics where he will compete against Rong Guotuan who won the men's singles gold at the 25th table tennis worlds in 1959 - the first world championship event won by someone in China – he is revered as a national hero. Unsurprisingly, the Chinese team scooped almost all the medals at the recent 49th World Table Tennis Championships in Yokohama, Japan this year. However, rather than cheering the victory, China's sports officials, media and public now see the country's dominance in table tennis as a bad thing. A senior Chinese sports official called the dominance in the sport "a failure" - because it has become a one-country show. Kind of like Canada and hockey. Boris says he is going to turn all that around. “I will be ready for the next poker-pong tournament. However, I would like the ping pong tournament to be better organized. Playing a wasted Stew and Clint at ping pong was about as much fun as having John Smith sit on my face (nice image, isn't it). With their wasted eyes, they actually looked like Chinese ping pong players but without any of the skill.”
Ronny “The Wonder Kid” Gold who is still looking for a big win this season has fallen behind on the hosting end. He was in Brussels this week at the Belgian bodybuilding championships. They were cancelled after all competitors fled when they thought doping officials showed up. Ronny Gold likes to bring an entourage and they may have been mistaken for Doping officials. When Gold arrived at the event 20 bodybuilders were weighing in and preparing themselves. Gold and his entourage got the surprise of their lives. The competitors all just got up and left, preferring to quit the event rather than submit to what they thought would be doping tests, some grabbing their gear and heading straight out the door. "They must have been flabbergasted. Bodybuilders usually take months to prepare for such championships, yet the sight of Gold and his party was evidently too much for them.” said a bystander who was on the scene. "I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," Gold said. He says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good." Minutes before the start, it left organizers with no option but to tell a few hundred fans that had come to the Arsenal theatre that there was no point in staying, having not seen a single gleaming pose. Damn...what a shame.
Eon “The G-Master” Bookseller was up North this weekend on a much needed vacation. The fourth in three months. He was looking for a bike to continue his unprecedented weight loss. “Running can be hard on the knees for those overweight. That said, there are bikes designed for heavier people. Kona designs bikes for "Athenas" – the female term for Clydesdales so I am starting there. I am curious to see if they have a man bike for heavier men called the “The Husky – for big boned men who can’t fit their asses on a normal bike.” I have also read that it's probably worthwhile to get hand-built wheels with a higher spoke count to be stronger. A decent slick will run around 1000 psi and should be fine to hold my girth.”
John “Sober” Smith was off this week and no one has seen him since he fell into the Polar Bear exhibit at the Toronto Zoo. Instead of being made into a throw toy for the bears, one of the females seemed to have adopted him and carried him by his neck-skin into her lair where she attempted to feed him using her giant furry white pancake nipples. When that didn’t work she tried to feed him scraps of raw fish. Onlookers said Smith began to vomit after she pawed a Salmon head into his gaping maw. The female became agitated and finally decided to regurgitate her food as a means of providing for her new cub. Smith immediately fainted and the mother bear sat licking his body which in turn tore off the shorts and t-shirt he was wearing. Small children and females began screaming and immediately fled the scene. His naked morbidly obese body hasn’t been recovered from the lair yet as several female polar bears have become very aggressive in protecting the Smith cub. We are not sure how this will affect him mentally but some fear he may become accustomed to the lavish lifestyle a male polar bear is accustomed to as the females do all the hunting, cub rearing and are the sole providers. What the public doesn’t know is that he married Italian so the Polar Bear will have a fight on her hands!

Hi Sheri,
As the commissioner of the league and I quite honestly overjoyed and kicking my heels this morning. Remember Mary Poppins when Dick Van Dyke was singing and jumping around with his chimney sweep? Maybe, maybe not but that's me today. I'm just waiting for the Kool Aid man to blast through my wall and say "Oh, Yeah!"
On behalf of the entire MNPL (Monday Night Poker League) I would like to say thank you for at least considering this email and understanding our desperate need to be heard across cyberspace and to be appreciated by our beloved brands.
We have been turned down by Crown Royal so far and have sent them emails stating that we are no longer sponsored by them even though we secretly still sneak in a bottle on Monday night!
We are dorito-holics and can't just have one chip. We feel that this doesn't impede our ability to function in our daily lives except for Smith...he's on weight watchers and has to somehow manage to work in some carrots during the game to fill him up. Smith has a weight issue and if you send shirts...he's almost a triple X...the rest of us are large. If you send pens...send seven...if you send a letter, here are the names of the players:
Tal "The Juice" Mastrovich - known for high interest rates when lending money
John "Dumb Drunk" Smith who just got out of rehab and is trying to pull himself together. He was born in Jamaica on a Doobie farm and has been in trouble ever since. He has been the most consistent winner this season but it has to be attributed to his inability to distinguish between good and bad beats. He just bets randomly so no one can figure him out. A mixture of Crown Royal and Dorritos has to be the cause.
Stewie "King BullSh*t" MacDoogan who is difficult to read as he is constantly bluffing. He won the caber toss in Edinburgh in 2004.
Ronny "The Wonder Kid" Gold who is as useless as teets on a bull in poker but we let him play to finance the pot - even though he's not Scottish he quite freely gives up his money to us.
Boris "The Pervert" Gaudio - the Italian stalion who loves adult movies and speaks freely of how he is given birth to fourteen beautiful children...he is catholic Italian.
Clint “I Survived Terrorists” Oris - who owed money to the Juice was pulled into a van recently by men with balliclavas...he thinks it was terrorists but it was Juice's men threatening him to pay his debts.
Eon “The G-Master” Bookseller is an artist in bed. Master of the G we call him. He owns a black belt in the art of making love. A class act and a friend you would bring home to mom - as long as she is happily married and in a trusting love filled relationship.
Bruce “Grey Goose” Heimenschlotterer is a newbie and has of yet not won a tournament.
Here is my mailing address - we look forward to updating the blog with the "DORITOS HAND OF THE NIGHT" for our first (hopefully) official sponsor!
My mailing address is,

Hi Joseph,
Can you please send me your address? I have a note from the Doritos brand team and a token of our appreciation, however you didn't include a mailing address in your original message.
Thanks!

To Whom it May Concern,
I think you should consider sponsoring or providing some promotional items for our Monday Night Poker League - MNPL. Even if this done tongue in cheek. We consume on average at least 180 Bags Doritos a year and on a good Monday we can destroy four bags. In this tumultuous time it would serve your best interest to be kind to your consumers and at the very least come up with some way to reward such devoted consumers such as our MNPL team. Even a gesture of good will I think would at least help us remain close friends and allies and would be an amazing thing to do. I have contacted the Toronto Sales Office but was only able to leave a voice message.
It is with great regret that we may have to pull out from consuming your products if you don't at least respond but we do not want to go down that dark and lonely road without you. In order to continue with your brand I would think your company would at least consider and move this letter up the chain to someone of decision making capacity that isn't just a filter for emails.
I would sincerely hope you will reconsider and make some form of goodwill gesture in the form of a baseball hat, a pen or at least a letter from someone with some letters behind their name in the PR
group that can provide a mock letter that says you fully endorse our MNPL game and make us happy little chip consumers!
Our blog is http://mnpl-allin.blogspot.com/ and so far is read weekly by approximately 12 people. We feel we have to start somewhere!
