So what happens at a meat raffle other than buying a ticket for $1 for a chance to win some meat?

Need details here.

http://www.startribu...g/16341541.html

Hmm the ones I'm used to are a little different. Usually for charity so we're talking a half ton of meat, hundreds of people, tons of beer, shot specials, jello shots, booze, guns, drugs and firetrucks. No wheel, they just pick out of a bucket and you match your numbers. 6 or 7 different drawings for 100-200# of meat and you pick what you want from that round.

Sounds like a MEGA MEAT RAFFLE FUND RAISER.

Ihave two water bottles full of Skyy, 4 bottles of water and a cooler full of ice. Mrs. SLB is driving. I'm on vacation.

You do have the Skyy ones marked, right?

Of course. One is marked Cal the other Dyl.

Well played, master.

Frosty, how is Operation Tuna Helper going?

Well

Huh.I had a mid-morning funtime with Knuckles, who just texted me that she bought a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires and is leaving at 8 pm tonight.

I thought you have to agree for her to move your unborn child out of the state.

I did not know about meat raffles until just right now.

What rock have I been living under?

Well, you're at a bar, so the usual bar stuff. Only with meat. And pull tabs.

I guess that makes sense. I could get into that. What's a pull tab?

What happens at your BBQ fests other than standing around eating meat?

Well, we drink, have live DJ's, LIve bands, Play cornhole, Play Ladder Golf, etc.... I was unaware this was in a bar. Still seems kinda odd.

I wanna come and get my meat! Marge does sound like she likes her sauce...

Pull tabs are like paper slots for the mathematically challenged

I have thought about starting from the beginning, like a novel. But to be honest, I'm too lazy to catch up on being gone one or two days. Do I really think I'm going to read it all?Is there an audio version of GMTAN out there somewhere?

Huh.I had a mid-morning funtime with Knuckles, who just texted me that she bought a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires and is leaving at 8 pm tonight.

weird--apparently this is for real. I'm getting texts from some of her friends and her roommate that she told them the same thing. moving to Argentina on 9 hours notice.

If you own a gun, I'd keep it on your person for the next 5.5 hours

 

[Mr.Pack]

You guys from Minnesota and Wisconsin know that the rest of us think meat raffles are just weird, right?

X

He can think they're weirdSounds like they're hosted a lot more frequently by Tre and Frosty but I've always had a great time.

I've never heard of them until this thread.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Knuckles may be hoping you run to stop her at the airport?

Well don't cry for her

 

[Frostillicus]

They're more Minnesota than Wisconsin, and what Sammy L is describing is different than what TRE and I are always talking about. It's basically just another way to gamble at a bar. Add in the pull tabs and it makes for a pretty awesome couple of hours, especially when you come home with an extra 50 bucks, a rack of ribs, and a couple steaks.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Yeah, SLB's thing almost sounds like a beer bust type of event.

 

[-fish-]

Knuckles may be hoping you run to stop her at the airport?

at first I thought she was just bluffing to see if I'd stop her, but then she told other people...

 

[EYLive]

I feel like I live in a different country that some of you guys. Do they ever hav vegetable raffles?

"Honey, look! I won kale, parsnips and a mood ring!"

 

[Guster]

I'm out at an Indian restaurant and had recos on two different dishes and couldn't decide, so I ordered both

 

[Guster]

I looked into tickets to the Heat-Celtics for tonight, but even nosebleeds were $100+. Pass. I think I'll just hit a bar and drink and watch the game instead

Time for a high end Bikini wax?

 

[krista4]

Last night was the district retirement dinner. I never go to these things, they are terrible, but I was just sent the following email:

Subject - Thank you Teri, congratualtions [sic] retirees and Linda XXXX's mom passed away

Is it just me, or should this guy have sent the latter portion in another email?

Oof.

Knuckles doing something odd, unexpected, crazy, and possibly dangerous. Hmmm, this is hard to believe.

Any chance Buenos Aires has world class Couples Therapy classes?? Maybe she is just looking into them before kidnapping asking you if you would like to join her.

don't know her motivations at this point. she texted two people suicide threats and took a handful of narcotics (not enough to OD and she knows it). she should be getting held for observation right now, but since her job is to evaluate mental health in the ER, she knows what to say to avoid getting detained. best her friends can do is not leave her alone right now.

yep. sad, because things are actually going well...she seemed to have settled down and was actually really fun to be around without any real drama for the last two months right up until the pregnancy scare. but eventually, a real relationship would lead to spending time with my daughter, and I can't allow this chaos and instability into her life. I think she really wanted to have a kid. she got unequivocal proof that she wasn't pregnant yesterday. I think it pushed her over the edge.

I overdosed on Words with Friends last weekend. I have always loved Scrabble, but never could get anyone to play. I played about 10 games all weekend, including two against Pickles and when I closed my eyes to try and sleep, all I saw were Is and Us and a V, shuffling around in vain attempts to make words. I'm better now, but it took a few days to recover.
