First off, pronunciation of "euchre" for the non-midwesterners (i.e. Californians) out there: yoo-kur. Rhymes with nuker and puker. It's not ooo-kree, ee-yoo-chree, or ee-yook. (\'yü-kər\) if you want to be all techniboring.
Second off, PDC will be hosting it's second Euchre Tournament tomorrow, March 23rd, with all proceeds going towards Relay For Life. We have pretty sexy prizes for the winners and runner-ups: trophies, gift cards, travel mugs, coozies, and window clings. See the flyer and sign up your team NOW!

Third off, here are the Ten Commandments of Euchre by noted euchre master Harvey Lapp
- Thou shalt not pass a biddable hand.
- Thou shalt counteth upon thy partner for one trick.
- Thou shalt not trumpeth thy partner's ace.
- Thou shalt trumpeth thy partner's king.
- Thou shalt leadeth trump to thy partner's order.
- Thou shalt not leadeth trump to thine opponent's order.
- When thou hath ordered trump, leadeth thy right bower to smite thy foes.
- Ordereth not the right bower unto thy partner's hand unless thou canst go alone.
- Goeth alone whenever thou canst, unless thy team hath eight or nine points.
- Thou shalt not complaineth about the cards the Lord thy Euchre God hath bestowed upon you.
