Quit entering raffles where the grand prize is worth less than your handbag!

Yeah, my gym recently held a raffle (tickets were free, unlimited entries) where the grand prize was a nice outdoor gas grill. The winner? Some leathery old menopausal chick who probably leases a new Lexus SUV every 2 years, spends more money on a pair of shoes than I make in a week, and could buy 20 of those grills with her husband's platinum card. I wasn't dying to win it, but I was hoping someone who couldn't otherwise afford it would win it. Rich people need to stick to their little Junior League charity raffles.

Maybe the people that couldn't afford it otherwise didn't even enter.


Can't get mad at her for winning. Its the luck of the draw.

This reminds me of the dude that won the lottery twice

I mean really, once you win it once, why keep playing? I think he won like $100 Million the first time and $30 Million the second time.

5/27/2009 11:26:09 AM

a classic case of grill envy

5/27/2009 11:26:24 AM

people who cannot afford a grill, probably cannot afford a gym membership. come on!

5/27/2009 11:26:43 AM

Waffles are good but nothing beats pancakes.

You think gunzz will change the thread title to "Waffle appreciation thread" ?

5/27/2009 11:28:17 AM

how does unlimited entries work? Patiently fill out 200 of them and they'd all count?

how many times did you enter your name, raleighboy?

5/27/2009 11:30:19 AM

In all fairness I get the idea it's just there's no point in letting it get to you. Like the millionaire senator that won $850,000 a few years ago:

i won a bike from mcdonalds one time, i flooded the box with entry forms

the bike was later tragically mauled by a freight train, while me and my friends' young minds could not get back up the hill when we heard the train's horn, we were afraid the train was gonna de-rail into the creek below

the bike fell off the track after being mangled to hell, and it slowly floated by where we stood on the bank (imagine the erector set scene when the beast destroys it in the Sandlot)

at least you have a fun memory to reflect on and cherish.

There were several USS Enterprises before CV8. I got into San Diego last night and ended up looking up CV76 to figure out what ship is in port (its the Reagan) and ended up reading all about carriers on wikipedia.

The new Ford class is pretty baller.

Is a platinum card that big of a deal?

Yes; for with the platinum card one can afford a truck, a jet ski, and a grill. And I don't care who you are; errybody wants a truck, a jet ski, and a grill.
