Perhaps you were making a lighthearted joke, but did you (or someone you know) actually catch that "Grouper"? If not, there is a good chance you were eating something else.



Same goes for Groupies too :)

ONM, I recently had a schedule change where I was leaving work later so I really didn't have time to play in Casino anymore.

Nathan,

Mega millions is at a half billon or something like that. Do you have a tactic for taking that one down or is that a ploppie game? I noticed you're into pick 3/4. Are those what the pros play?

Is this Nathan's corner, or Comedy Club? Pro lottery players. LOL.
I rather hope that Nathan's extra wages this month were completely blown on stupid lottery tickets that do't win. Any glimmer off success would only feed what is a dreadful addiction.
And yes. I have my own addictions, so this is not judgemental. It's just that I'd have been grateful and a whole lot healthier if my own addictions had all started out badly. 1st cigarette made me ill, so that probably saved my lungs from a lifetime of abuse. Sadly, for my liver, I enjoyed my first Alcohol.

Nathan, have you heard of a fellow-Floriidian and lottery player, Richard Lustig?

He won the Florida lottery SEVEN TIMES and wrote a book about it.

link: wiki article .

How he does it:

"In an interview with ABC News, Lustig explained that his method is to re-invest all of his winnings back into the lottery. He also recommends using hand-picked sequential numbers and using the same numbers repeatedly."

You'd do well to buy his book.

You can thank me later.

The obvious solution would be to get a job at a place that sells the lottery numbers. This would also allow you to track the buyers.
You can learn which people have " the gift" and what numbers they pick.
Perhaps it will be like working in a sausage factory.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

You give $5. You get back $3. Rinse and repeat.

Where I live, I think it might be closer to put $ 5 in, and get closer to $ 2.50 back. But I'm not sure, I have no idea how this lottery crap works. But I did think it was cool that KENNY LOGGINS was going to headline the Powerball Loser's cruise.

Well, 140 showed up today. I predicted on Thursday that it would come up soon. I played 3 days advance, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It came up today on Sunday! Crap! Should have just played 4 days instead of three. :/

This was a big paycheck, my bills are paid, so I decided to go splurge on the Lottery with this paycheck. :P Thank you for the warm advice, however. :)

What makes you believe any of it is true?

If Nathan falls on hard times, she can always begin rummaging thru the many hobo bags in the bushes outside of that one casino she frequents. She is obviously in it to win it. How much does it cost to buy all the pick 3 numbers? I have a spidey sense feeling that one of them is going to hit in the next drawing.

IF Nathan is buying any of these tickets, and IF Nathan is not just posting random cr4p that she never bought, then for what it's worth, I urge her to stop.

The attention that her lottery pick posts manage to draw is no substitute for a wealthy future.

To regret NOT buying some ticket is the height of stupid addiction. It's been said often enough.

NATHAN. Are you listening.

However, If Nathan is Kentry, or one of Andrew's fictional characters, created to make us laugh, then nice one Andrew. Carry on.

La La La La. I'm not listening.

I'm blocking this thread to take one more set of eyes away from the rather silly posts. Pity. Nathan's random thoughts seemed to have some value.

Someone just PM me if anything shows up in this thread in need of moderation. Cya Nathan.

Yeah Karen. I know you are sick of being associated with Kentry. But I got your attention. Now go read the words.

I kind of wish I could start over on something that happened recently.... I was on a train recently that at first was fun but it ended up quickly speed derailing off the tracks at 100 speeds and then crashed into a cement wall! Yep, I was involved in a train wreck.

I wish I would get a train ticket for a better train and a better trained Conductor as this Conductor started off as great and wonderful, I was having fun, other train passengers were having fun, but than the little "Clicks," and the uncertain bumps started happening. Then the train began doing major turbulence. People were beginning to scream they wanted to get off and some even managed to throw themselves off the train that was going dangerously too fast in the wrong way.

I and some other passengers stayed on the train anyways and it ended up crashing hard into the cement wall. Ouch. I don't want a refund however, I want a train ticket to a better train and better trained Conductor.

Trains I've never really been on besides old timey replicas or whatnot at amusement parks. Thought about it once thinking it might be cool, but they're stupid expensive and not fast or convenient. As a passenger, when a car crashes into one, not good. Example of the inconvenience, have only a few places to get on a day, in other towns, they take longer than driving, the times are very early(6am,8am), wastes hotel days in the casino.

Were you injured on the train at all? How fast did it crash?

Is this a metaphorical train wreck? The conductor should be metaphorically shot.

Metaphorically shot? No, too harsh. The Conductor didn't mean for the train to speed derail off the tracks. The Conductor seemed genuinely remorseful and regretful.

The train crashed into the cement wall at 100 speed! Miraculously, me, the other passengers, and the Conductor all are fine physically but a bit disoriented.

Serious question. What is the possibility that the Train Company will give me a new ticket to a better train that won't speed derail off the tracks? It seems the Conductor learned from mistakes of the train speed derailing and crashing into the cement wall. So definitely need a new and better train, not a new Conductor.

Serious question. What is the possibility that the Train Company will give me a new ticket to a better train that won't speed derail off the tracks? It seems the Conductor learned from mistakes of the train speed derailing and crashing into the cement wall. So definitely need a new and better train, not a new Conductor.

Nathan, that is horrible!

Here is a link to all reported recent train wrecks compiled by the National Transportation Safety Board:

NTSB listing of recent train wrecks

Please scroll through it and identify which particular train wreck befell you that fateful day.

And if for some inexplicable reason your train wreck is not mentioned, please post details as to the date and location of its occurrence.

Are you sure you weren't hurt?

You could buy a helluva lot of lotto tickets with a hefty settlement check.

Just sayin'.

I dont think she said she was in the train. I think she is saying don't fire people, just give them better equipment. In that case, they might as well make a robot.

damn you onm for linking to this thread and make me come back in.

Well, talked to the Train Company. The Train Company won't allow a brand new train, but told the Conductor to fix the damaged train so that it doesn't speed derail and crash into a cement wall anymore. ;)

I kind of wish I could start over on something that happened recently.... I was on a train recently that at first was fun but it ended up quickly speed derailing off the tracks at 100 speeds and then crashed into a cement wall! Yep, I was involved in a train wreck.



She says she rode a train speeding at 100 mph into a cement wall and sustained no injury.

Uhhhhh ... really?!

Well, I couldn't stay out of this train wreck of a thread.

Let's try another parable...

Once upon a time, an innocent child, we'll call him Andrew, found a box of crayons. He would scribble and draw willies on every wall in the house. Mummy and Daddy got cross. But Mummy and Daddy were kind. They treated young Andrew to a white board and some easy-wipe pens. They took away his crayons. There was to be no crayoning on the walls ever again.

All was good for a while.

But young Andrew found a nail. He found that scratching numbers on the white-board made a nice screechy sound. All the other kids got irritated by the screechy sound and, one by one, they went outside to play ball. Andrew was left with a useless white-board, No crayons, and all his friends were off playing together.

So Andrew asked daddy for a new whiteboard and for a launch party with invites to go out to all his friends.
Daddy said no.

Andrew looked out of the window at all his happy friends and tapped on the window and waved. Nobody waved back.

Don't use a nail on your shiny new whiteboard. You only get one.

do what? :o) Did it have to be a blackboard with chalks? That's so 19th century? Or is it because Andrew is a Scottish name and he has ginger hair? Or is it maybe not lgbt friendly enough. Should there have been two mommies? Did I need to mention Rover, the cat?

Don't be throwing stuff like that into the mix.

It was not racist.

It was not funny.

Now you are the arbiter of what is funny or not? Should I send you a list of jokes to get pre-approved? Trolling and thread crapping is cool but heaven forbid a moderator doesn't like a particular joke. Ridiculous.

I'm still trying to figure which bit was supposed to be funny... Your post or mine. I saw a glimmer of humor in both. Just a glimmer, mind you.
Andrew didn't really have a ginger hair.
Bill surely was having a laugh with the racist comment. I can't take that as serious.

Within the context of this VERY THREAD, JUST LAST WEEK, WASTING 5 PAGES DEFENDING OURSELVES AGAINST GORDON'S PROTRACTED ACCUSATIONS WE WERE BEING RACISTS....it was not funny.

Good grief. I'm so tired of the knives around here. How is it possible I have to ask you to chillax with the racist crap?

Maybe next week it will be funny.

Probably not.
