What are the aims of playing Mahjong?

1. To win

Granted someone as poor as me would be quite inclined to play mahjong in a mad bid to enjoy and to earn some pocket change as well. And of course I love the thrill of winning other people’s money. Hey, I even consider making it my part time job. Inspired by some of my friends who win shit loads of money on a regular basis, I would most certainly like to do that. Pat claims that he didn’t had to draw money for one year from an ATM, because he wins so enough to cover his daily expenses. Some where like 1k per weekend. Pocket change my ass.

2. Socialize

It’s a 4 player game, and of course you will have to talk to people. Aside from the occasional “pong” and “hu”, most likely you will end up about talking about a lot of other things, like soccer, girls and stuff. You know, just talking and laughing with your friends.

Yup, basically it’s those 2 main things people like about mahjong.

Not me. I just have to be different. In fact, I had no idea that I had picked secret option number 3.

3. Lose shit load of money consistently

Been down on my luck recently and I think I would be able to afford a down payment for a car if I hadn’t lost that much. Granted, it’s would only be a Cherry QQ, but heck, it’s still a car. (You know what they say about QQs, If you take a stone to throw at the QQ, your loss is much greater than the car owner. Your loss being the stone. Seriously, try to file a police report that your QQ was stolen. I give you 20 bucks if the policeman doesn’t burst out laughing)

I always took any mj losses as recreational money. Most of the time, it’s cheaper than a meal outside or a movie for 2. But holy shit, this time it is becoming more and more disgusting. Now I know how Kee felt the other time, when Neo with his red underwear wiped him clean. Sounds damn wrong, but heck, I can’t be bothered to press backspace to change it. Now that I got the image of Kee being wiped by Neo’s red underwear burned into my head, I guess I will never look at him the same way again. Brrrr….

But hey, don’t get me wrong. I love the game and I love the company. All my buds that I played with recently, all of them are awfully nice. And I guess I must say that I adore the Fa Cai and the mj cake that that I got. I would post pictures, but seem to be possessed by sloth of the sins. Sucks to be you then.

Just wait, I will be back.
