Anyone ever go through a huge luck streak?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

At stores, restaurants, that is.

I was elated to find out, about two months ago, that an Aubree's Pizza place was opening just minutes from where I live. If you've had their pizza, you'd know how rackable this is. Anyhoo, I've been frequenting that place since its arrival to my neck of the woods. The pizza's great, but the calzones and wings are also very good. Every time, except maybe once or twice, I have gotten some kind of "unintentional" discount on my food. I usually order takeout, and when I go to pickup my order the cashier has literally no clue how to operate the damn thing, and I get my grub for about $1-$3 less than what it should be. ALWAYS. Every time I go in there, it reminds me of that Dmike/Subway thread. Anyway, aside from them being complete morons, they just don't give a shit, and that always works out to my benefit. Often I'll call and ask them "how much for a large one topping?" and the reply of late has been..."Uhhh, I can give it to you for like $5 bucks." Excellent, I think to myself. They're just tossing out random prices. Now, this may seem like no big deal for your typical Domino's, Little Caesar's, etc., but Aubree's is considered a "higher end" pizza joint, so a large one topping from them for a mere $5 is quite a steal. According to the menu it's supposed to be about $12.

Just yesterday after work, I ordered a calzone and a two liter of Coke, but for delivery this time. After about 20 minutes, the dude shows up with my calzone, my coke, and a LARGE THREE TOPPING PIZZA (with the same three toppings I ordered on my calzone) for no additional charge, of course. The dude just said, "Uhhh, yeah, they screwed up the order so you got this pizza too." I said, "Nice. That works."

Today I went to the local CVS, because I was running hideously low on deodorant, dishwasher detergent, and shaving cream. I rounded up those items, and then said "fuggit" as I picked up a 12 pack of Labatt Blue (which is about $3 more than the beer store I frequent, but I didn't feel like driving to that place today). So I get up to the counter and a semi-cute blonde greets me, and we proceed to exchange smiles as she's ringing up my shit. When she's done she goes, "that'll be $8.48" and I'm just thinking, "Niiiiice." I didn't say a word and kept smiling, wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible before she caught on to her absent-mindedness. There's always the possibility she was hooking me up considering she clearly wanted my cack, but it did not matter to me - I just wanted to get the fuck out of there with my free beer. Because that is indeed what happened. She rung me up for the other three items and not the beer. The beer alone should've been $11. The best part was she even carded me for the beer and still didn't ring it up.

This was especially clutch because I only had a twenty on me and some change, and was planning on rolling through Wendy's for some quick grub on my way back home, and would've been forced to pay with the debit card. This way I still had enough cash to score a Big Bacon Classic combo.

Damn. I'm on fire right now.

Excellent contribution, wolfman.

If you ever wonder why you’re regarded (minus a few exceptions from the other old guys who pity you) as the most uninteresting fuckwad on this board, you need not look further than this thread as proof.

Hey, maybe that's not such a good thing....

This thread is money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[giant, glopping runs of sarcasm]Don't "hate", dudes. I think this is a sign I need to start laying some SERIOUS money on some games. College football cannot come soon enough.[/giant, glopping runs of sarcasm]

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

at TT, that is.

This coming from a guy who's registered over there?

Wha?

[WolverineSteve]

Now you're talking my language. You use a bookie, or online site, or just play for shits and giggles?

Either way I'll be watching for your locks 'o the week.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Either way I'll be watching for your locks 'o the week.

Probably a smart move.

Wasn't denying it. Just thought the post was more their style. Fast food reference, drawn out rambling of personal transaction, just smelled like the other place..............not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ok, I'll play.

Not that it has anything to do with luck.

A few months back I discover that a Rays Crab Shack has moved into my neck of the woods. They've had a restaraunt on the south side of KC (Grandview, about 50 miles from my shack) for like 40 years now and decided to add one up north in Parkville.

Two pounds of the biggest, most succulent Alaskan Snow Crab Legs that you'll ever dip in melted butter, for the same frigging price that Red Lobster charges for one measly pound of skimpy ass crab legs no self-respecting casino would dish out on all you can eat nite. Fuck Red Lobster.

Not to mention, since it's fairly new to the area, not many know of it yet. There were like only 10 other tables with people sitting at them. No lines, no waiting.

Not fast-food nor store-stealing related (bbq made me Bwaaha), but ....

On the way back from a ski trip to Winter Park several years ago, some friends and I were driving back to Denver to catch a train to Omaha. We stopped in Central City to do a little gambling and I just fucking knew I had to stay in a casino that day. My friends were like, "c'mon, let's get out of here and see the historic buildings" or some shit and I thought "Fuck that," I'm going to win today.

Sure enough, lest than 15 minutes later, I won about $200 after playing about $20 in quarter machines.

So I left that casino (after winning an additional several $5 hands at Blackjack), caught up with my friends, and we went to another place where they had prime rib with the works for $4.99 or something ridiculous (it must have been about '92 or '93). Anyhoo, while we're waiting for a table, I head over to the nickle slot machines and start playing ... sure enough within about 10 spins or so, another triple 7 or whatever it was, worth about $50, which paid for our prime rib meal with the works for six. That lunch kicked major ass, btw.

So we load up in the Suburban we've rented and start heading back to Denver, and the freezing rain starts. We make it out of Central City and finally back onto I-70. About the time we hit I-70, the freezing rain has turned to snow. Wonderful.

As we're crawling along I-70 with the rest of the traffic, we finally start getting close to Denver. Meanwhile, amid the ever increasing amount of snowfall, we start noticing an increasing number of jackknifed semi-rigs along the shoulders and in the median of I-70 -- not a good sign.

For whatever reason, my friend who organized this trip thought it would be cool to drive from Kansas to Omaha, and catch Amtrack to Denver. It was inexpensive, I will say that. Divided six ways, the train fare, Suburban rental and cabin rental came to about $200 apiece. Ski lift tickets at Winter Park notwithstanding, my first triple 7s in Central City paid for my entire trip. But I digress ...

By the time we finally reach Union Station in downtown Denver, the snow is about 4 inches high in the streets. We unload all of our bags and shit, along with 4 of our companions to watch it, and to hold the damn train if necessary, as me and my friend Marcia still have to drive the rented SUV back to the airport, then make it back by cab in time to get on the damn train. I think we had about an hour an a half.

Somehow, I managed to get the vehicle back to the airport (the old Stapleton, not the new airport in Denver, thank God), and managed to catch a taxi or a car service or something back to Union Station, by which time, there was at least six inches of snow on the ground.

At any rate, we caught the train, and had an entire cooler full of beer for the 10-hour train trip back to Omaha.

A lucky day, indeed.

A regular High Roller, I see. Did you put it in your Piggy Bank?

For whatever reason, my friend who organized this trip thought it would be cool to drive from Kansas to Omaha, and catch Amtrack to Denver.

Simple reason. Your hick friends and yourself are complete frigging morons. You drove to Omaha from Kansas so that you could take a train to Denver? And you're in here bragging about this?

In the immortal words of a certain poster...Tears, Jerry, tears.

At any rate, we caught the train, and had an entire cooler full of beer for the 10-hour train trip back to Omaha.

Woah...an "entire" cooler full of beer...divided by 6 "friends", on a 10 hour train ride.

You party animals, you.

RadioFan are you trying to do the funny? hahahaha

I quickly glanced at your av, and thinking it was Vanspam, I didn't really read it. Then something caught my eye, but I wasn't really sure what it was. Was it that You/It needed to post more posts?

Stop it.

So you're excited about a large 3 topping pizza and cash to buy Wendy's?
Fat fuck says what?

Did I ever go through a huge luck streak?

Baby, hell yeah I did. See, I was born under a bad sign. In fact, if wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all...

Sincerely,

Last week I did four walking tours at four Ivy League schools in four days, mostly in 100 degree weather.

I figure I'm lucky to have made it home alive to balmy LoCal.
WAR low clouds in the morning, clearing by noon, highs in the mid 70s to low 80s.

Let me clear this up.

Shaz was the Ofiicial Pick'em Winner.

MGO was not int he Official Finals, but he had the highest number of picks in the "everybody plays" catagory.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Yeah, yeah. Don't ruin my glory.

Let's not forget I have paraphanalia in the trophy case.

Of course...that probably has more to do with the fact 88's a standup dude.
