This Nighthawk is semi-sober and just got back from watching boxing ...

[Wetzelbill]

Oh man, I got so lucky today. My Uncle and I went out to Desert Diamond Casino for lunch, and I was screwing around and tossed a dollar into a machine. I'm not much of a gambler, I rarely do it, but I ended up winning 80 bucks off of that one dollar. It just so happened that the casino was having a live boxing card on tonight, so I used my winnings to buy a few tickets for my Uncle and I. It was a lot of fun. I had a few uh, cocktails. I'm only slightly murky right now. Mainly tired, since I woke up at 6 AM today.

So how is everybody?

1. Hey bro!

We're doing ok; Mrs E has a birthday tomorrow so we're talking about what she wants to do..

[Wetzelbill]

4. yeah I saw that other thread......

Hell, I'd give you some advice but it might result in you getting a divorce.

[enigmatic]

7. hahahaha

I'm gonna get you for that:)

[Wetzelbill]

8. no need to do that...

the alcohol and greasy food just had me calling my friend Ralph. Ugh....

I feel ill. Fucking whiskey sours.

You didn't use bad karma on me or anything right? Do you have certain powers that I don't know about? :)

14. now what would the Dynamite Kid say about that?

I don't know why I said that or what it means. Just my obligatory pro wrestling reference.

[enigmatic]

15. I know what he would say

What the hell was I thinking hooking up w/ Chyna????;)

2. Hi!

I am pretty sad and overwhelmed...I know I should unplug the TV and stay away from GD, but so far that has not been a choice I have made.

:cry:

[Wetzelbill]

5. oh I know

it's heartbreaking. I try not to watch much news anyway, but I avoid it when something sad like this has happened. It makes me feel overwhelmed as well.

3. Hi, 'bill! This can be tonight's Nighthawks thread, OK?

Congrats on your win. Not a bad way to start the semester, is it?

:pals:

[Wetzelbill]

6. yeah not too bad...

I can handle a little extra cash and some fun, too. Never hurts. :)

9. Dollar slots are fun

I've never had an $80 kinda fun. Woo hoo. Good goin'.

[Wetzelbill]

10. pure dumb luck too

I didn't even really know how to play the game. I once won 20 dollars like 8 or 9 years ago. That was about it. I rarely gamble either. Forrest Gump would've been proud.

11. Hi ~ Bill!

13. Hey Joani!

yeah, I'll take an extra 80 bucks anytime I can get it. For sure. :)

[In_The_Wind]

17. Hey everyone

Living out my last few days of fun before classes start on Tuesday. Just got back from poker: lost $7. Also lost at the department golf outing earlier. Had one meeting, chaired another. Hope all is well with y'all.
