Exaggeration and overkill

I love it how some simple things can evolve quite far when you have some creative and borderline silly guys around...

So this all started when some friends of mine got into poker (Texas Holdem of course).
At first, we only played occasionally. Then we decided (being german) that we have to have a club, no , a league, and play every other week. So the league of the extraordinarily ordinary gentlemen was founded.

Another few months later, we decided that it was absolutely necessary to have an own poker room. Fortunately the father-in-law of one of us owns a farm with some unused old buildings we could renovate. Some workdays later, after groundworks (quite some cubic metres of sand and concrete, a new floor, some paint etc. the room was ready.
Piece by piece the furnishing came in as well. A poker table, chairs, cupboards, lamps, an old couch, a radio, a computer, a TV-Set, a game console, some electric heaters etc.

All the stuff you can´t do without when you play poker every other week, right?

The funniest thing was when lately somebody brought along an old oven to heat frozen pizzas. This was the time the fuse blew. We are now considering upgrading the wires...
