I am unfamiliar with this euphemism. What, exactly, is "euchre?"

It's a 4 person card game played by midwesterners. Typically its an excuse to eat and drink more than anything. All things considered, a night of Euchre would probably be right on par with a night out in NYC.

c0r version: i think you'll be fine. i'm in the same boat...i'm supposed to land at EWR at 215pm tomorrow as well. Earl is a Category 2 hurricane right now. and yes, the eyewall won't make landfall, there could still be some heavy rains and strong winds in the outerbands of the storm. bottom line, carry a set of clothes with you in your carryon and be prepared for some delays. if nothing happens, then you'll be happy

btw, orbitz sent me an email saying i could change my flight if i wanted to because of the storm, and they would waive the fee. but i said fuck it i'm still going!

also, i'm planning on going to Pacha on saturday night.

let this thread continue as a roll call?

Why do I never get invited to play euchre, ahoel? Are you afraid of losing?
