Now that I live among people who have to have explained to them what stollen is as we approach Christmas, I have heard Five Hundred, if recognised, called "a poor man's Pinochle".<br><br>So, is there a tradition of Five Hundred playing in LCMS?Past Elderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867177699028333340.post-36421852858401504412007-11-18T12:20:00.000-06:002007-11-18T12:20:00.000-06:00Boy, I for one do not know the card game Five Hund...Boy, I for one do not know the card game Five Hundred, nor have a I heard of it being a widespread LCMS tradition! Perhaps in certain regions of the country? But then again, I'd better not speculate. Sorry I can't help you more!Randy Asburryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01545983197990430420noreply@blogger.com
