Grateful for the kind words. Beats the other kind.
Now domino playing in Jamaica ain't like playing dominos in America.
In America you need a scoresheet and players score points in multiple of five.
Not in Jamaica. No, it's a simple a blocking game. First to go out (domino) wins a point; six points wins. Don't need no scoresheet. Plus it's a lot more demonstrative.
"Shuffle!" mi ja g/f would command after she domino. The sound of slamming bones (while drinking a Guinness and burning our own spliff) was heard practically every day. "Knock. Knock again," she taunt. But the foreigner held his own--even delivering the only 6-0 shellacking much to the Fire Girl's dismay. We had a private wager on that...I won. Whew! Good thing too as I am not very good at booty shaking. At least not to my knowledge.
Mi gal did pretty well though serenading me with Shaggy's Mr. Boombastic as she danced. "She call me Mr. Boombastic, say me fantastic, touch me in me back, she say I'm Mr. Roo Roo Roo-mantic" (with a deep gutteral Roo Roo Roo). She knew ALL the verses too. Five stars.
