Stroker--How the Legend was made

Well, here we are again with the creative juices flowing. I guess I am so pumped for SAMpson that I just cannot keep my mind from working. This post goes out to my jolly friend Super Mundus, who thought it necessary to shower the internet with an image of me singing some Gospel music. A picture that was provided to him in good faith, but he obviously felt it necessary to take advantage of the situation. And, let me tell ya, this is what I love about a mis-step like that--sweet sweet revenge. Not that I get any real joy from what I am about to share (yeah right) but I must defend myself in a way that keeps my internet cred intact. Could you imagine the onslaught I would face if I were not to stand up for myself in a way befitting a true competitor. And just a word of caution to any who may feel it necessary to retaliate--I didn't take the first shot, but I have plenty of ammo!!!!

Now, since we have the pleasantries out of the way, we can get to the substance of this post. Circa 1997 in a sleepy little town in Southern Indiana, the flowers were in bloom and a hint of youthful adventure was noticeable as Mundus embarked on his journey. While Mundus was no stranger to carefree leanings of life he was rather calm and thoughtful in his interactions, and could be described as the epitome of correctness. While that could be overstating it a bit, Mundus was not one to act outside socially accepted limits--but as we would all come to understand and alter ego would emerge.

Records are not clear on the predicating events, but it appeared Mundus attended a pre-graduation celebratory function which is not uncommon for a chap in his position. Armed no doubt with some frosty cold libation and a hankering to embrace the buzz that permeated the beings of our youth as they knock on the door of adulthood, SuperMundus has arrived. Not just in the physical sense, but this night would be different and provide the onlookers with a rare glimpse of what may take place in the black box. Of course you are thinking, well, this guy is out to have some fun, no harm no foul, but.......a foul was called indeed. Now before I reveal the trophy of this story, I think we need to put back in perspective the general nature, character and outstanding citizenship that is displayed by Super Mundus, and I think we would all agree that this guy just never gets out of or crosses the line from a norms perspective. OK, here we go. And, I must at this point admit, not being present does impede my ability to accurately relay the specific events, but corroborating with enough sources has left me firmly supplanted with the journalistic feeling of invincibility.

Apparently Super Mundus gets drunked up and decides he is gonna take a little liberty in checking out the "goods" of one Stephanie Abshagen--German Exchange Student. After being dismissed the night proceeds on and the morning brings to life the legend of "STROKER". I believe this moniker was hung by a parent of one of the party goers, and he is still referred to as STROKER to this day by that individual. I have to say, I think that is just about the best nickname I have ever heard of, and I can't believe it has not stuck. I am so pumped about it, I decided to write a song. Yep, that's right, me and Billy Squire have worked on creating a lyrical coup. Please read the lyrics below, I have not yet had to time to record this, but that is in the works. Enjoy!!!!

A tribute To Mundo—AKA Stroker, and a visit from Stephanie Abshagen; your memory never fades…..

“The Stroker” - Frodaddy
Now everybody, have you heard
The courage of, a drunken urge
Stroker takes no caution, he didn’t hesitate
To grab a piece, of some German cake
He put his right hand out, and gave a firm shake
He took a shot at, his one big break
Mundo asks no questions, didn’t wait
gave no time for, Aubshoggin to deliberate

Stroke me, stroke me
I grab my wiener, it moves quite well
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You got her number down
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

She wouldn’t put out, but it didn’t hold you back
Work your way right into her place
First you try to bed her, before saying Hi
But when you made your move, she slid on by

Stroke me, stroke me
Give me the business all night long...
Stroke me, stroke me
Stroke me, stroke me
You're so together boy...
Say you're a winner but man you're just a sinner now

Better listen now, Mundus is on the prowl
If she is an exchange student, just do the stroke (Woooh)
Don't ya take no chances, keep your eye on top
Do your finger dances, Mundo just can't stop just
Stroke me, stroke me...

  1. Talk about an eye opener! The breach of poker etiquette on our last trip makes so much more sense now. I wont put anything past "Stroker" on our next trip. Thanks Frodaddy for the info, I will let that little episode go now and just be thankful I am not from Germany.

  3. Tough Man, don't flatter yourself. Sorry, you're not going to be on the receiving end of "The Stroke" unless it's coming from Cheryl. Or maybe Frodaddy.

    In closing, I stand by my conduct on that evening - it was worth a shot.

  4. Mundo,
    Do you mean your conduct with German Exchange student or Semi-bluffing a guy with a made hand?

  5. And Mundo, couldn't Sugar Pops qualify as a potential "Stroke" candidate for the Tough Man?

  6. Good question, Eric. The statement "it was worth a shot" is definitely applicable to both situations.

    Maybe next time tgtt will realize that I only play draws anyway, and I never have the best hand. That's what the Stroker episode was all about - I was on a gutshot draw to the nuts.
