Straight from the family archives: Young Dr. Mike, following a few hits of the substance emanating from the tube in his clutches, 1. decides on dentistry as a career path and 2. spontaneously invents Moosecock, one of the more fakakta of our fakakta games. You'll note that his specs are still clear; they never were again (see below).

If you come early to Dr. Mike's clinic over the hump and down the dale at 323 Mt. Hope this Wednesday (i.e., before the first hand is dealt at 8:29), he will regale you with the tale of what happened next. It involves the genesis of The New Mnemonics -- you know, Sexy Sixes, Rogers, Micks, Danny Caters (that's actually a trivia question and NO GOOGLING, Wolf the Trivial). 

Geoff Shlaes reportedly already has used his connections to snag a front row center seat at the regalement.
