Congrats. You can never have too many bentleys, imo.

My cousin that lives in Madison is always talking about euchre too. Odd.

Not surprised to hear its not a St Louis thing.Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Minnesota its just about a religion.Indiana & Illinois, not so much.All other states who weren't in the old Northwest Territory are usually

 

[bentley]

This just came across the teletype from a buddy.

Wife and son are leaving town Wed. evening and I am in possession of a liter of Maker's Mark straight bourbon whiskey. Need help making it empty.

I'd expect my next suspension-worthy post to come some time late in the evening on Wednesday.

 

[Early_10]

Congrats Bentley.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Hi guys, it has been awhile. Congrats to my GB Bentley.

Way to light the lamp, B.

Congrats, Bentley.

So is angrywife still angry?

Thanks. Yup (nice memory). Also led to an interesting phone call from Angrywife last week when little bentley #1 fired up the video player in front of her and the MIL.

 

[El Floppo]

Nice work with the sperm and stuff, Bentley

 

[Tiger Fan]

Went from drinking Dewers>Makers>Knob Creek>White Wine>Beer on Saturday at an xmas party (moved on to the next after the first was no longer available). Had one hell of a headache Sunday.

IIRC, Bentley made the deposit that led to his firstborn with the help of a film starring "Carmen Luvana", who you probably should not Google at work. Being somewhat superstitious, Bentley didn't change his routine this time around.Which leads to the question everyone's wondering...what would BentRley have done?

 

[shuke]

It looks like they tried to recreate the success of "I'm on a Boat," without the same, profound message.

All these Sandberg songs are starting to sound the same.

 

[shuke]

3 inches may not sound like much but we're just not prepared for that much rain (storm drains, infrastracture etc).

It's pretty damn crazy.

ETA: this is about a mile from my house

Wow. You can barely even see the bottom three inches of those things.

LMAO

Pretty big around my part of Indiana (Northeast, so MI/OH proximity).Straight or bid (4-, 5-, 6-, or 8-handed)?

Carmen Luvana....baby making machine

Thought DIAB was pretty hilarious first time I heard it....now I'm pretty bored by the whole thing.I gave SNL 3 minutes on Saturday. When I realized Jeff Bridges was hosting, I switched to a documentary on Charles Manson. Good freaking god...

Gotcha but I would like to know what AW said to him on the phone. I Googled her and would love to know what 1 image was removed and why.

This morning I text my bookie, who I don't know that well but we have a close mutual friend. Our exact conversation goes like this:

Me: What is moneyline for Vikes tonight?

Guy: Find it on the internet. ( )

Me: Sportsbook says +280.

Me: If that's OK, can I get $30 on the Vikes ML? I'll be in SF on Wed. and can drop off $ if need be.

**no response. Hours elapse, and the news that Favre has been upgraded breaks, which I obviously had no idea about. Line is now +240.**

Me (several hours later): Just want to confirm that this is locked in? Thanks xxxxx. -Rover

Guy: No. I will pass.

WTF is this? It's just $30!

"Find it on the internet"? Not responding when I say I want to make a bet? Just reeks of unprofessionalism IMO.

 

[jplvr]

I am in the finals of a league I've been in for 12 years, where I'm nearly always 1 and done. I've never won or even reached the finals before.Unfortunately, it's a traveshamockery that I'm there. I have the 8th highest-scoring team out of 12 teams, and I backed into the playoffs riding a 5 game losing streak after getting lucky with matchups over the first 9 weeks. Every other team in the league except the one I faced in the semifinals would have beaten me this week.I think if I win next week everyone will quit.

I thought this might work out for me as I've grown angry at this happening in other leagues previously. Sadly, GM did just enough to collect his 2nd place trophy next week because it appears we were the weakest side of the bracket.

Besides demonstrating that this bookie sucks ### because he was slow to respond with the information requested, was your goal also to show what a d-bag he is because you really did?

take your business elsewhere.his business is pretty foolproof, but blowing off customers and treating them poorly is one sure way to fail.

Your bookie takes text bets normally?... and asks you to look up the line? This is just one of your friends who randomly takes bets, right?Way to go, sperm of Bentley.

No. I just wanted to get a couple of bucks down on the Vikes.

You know I’ve always wondered why it’s so hard for a good amount of gamblers to have money management, treat gambling as some kind of business. You know too many people, the money we’re talking about here, more than anyone can ever think of. Why do you think a majority of gamblers just end up going broke? Is it a void? Is it filling a void or is it just something else?

-fish-? Rover? Anyone?

He does everything by text, and usually texts me the lines. I don't text him often, only when I see something online that looks good (which isn't that often.)

The most degenerate among them think they have it all figured out and end up throwing good money after bad. Most people gamble recreationally however. I have experience in this line of work.

You know what would hit the spot? Some home made chocolate chip cookies. Hhm, hhm, that sounds delicious.

what he does to the English language is criminal.

Today might be another Sourdough Jack day. No lunch today....ate holiday popcorn and a Fiber 1 bar.

It's 3 pm and my hangover is actually getting worse. How is this possible?

The first I went to his site, I read a transcript and thought "Oh, OK, I get it, not the same without the voice intonation, the emphasis, the pitch and the pause, etc". So I listened. And its way, way, WAY worse live.

If I was trapped in a elevator with him I would literally climb the walls to get through the hatch in the ceiling.

Did everyone know that women's basketball was played with a smaller ball? I feel pretty stupid just learning this.

the circumference of the women’s basketball is 1in. smaller than the circumference of the size of the men’s basketball

I'm sitting here trying to think under what circumstance I would watch women play basketball. Nothing.Still, can't believe I never heard this either.

A Sourdough Jack. He might eat one.

I'm always amazed when people ask this, especially people like yourself. Do you ever go to Jack In The Box? I know they have them in more places than Oregon...I've seen 'em. All over. Their commercials run non-stop. Right?Anyhow...there's one on my way home from work, right before I get on the highway. I like to stop and get a Sourdough Jack from time to time. They aren't good for me, but I rationalize it away like I do everything else in life. I also avoid the fries and the soda.

If I ever find myself on death row, I'll probably just order a few of these.

I bet I could finish one in under a minute.
