The luckiest day in the world.

I went to Target for some tomato juice and decided to snag a pack of Bowman just to check it out.

Oh yes, I am awesome.

In all seriousness, glad to snag the Thomas.

In the parking lot I found a quarter on the asphault.

Finally, the most lucky thing...

While playing Yahtzee with my girlfriend...

My very first 1 roll Yahtzee. That's like 1:46656 rolls. Much tougher odds than my 1:26 Tillman auto.

I know.

    Oh, this isn't the quarter I found, but it's very similar...if you're interested.

    Biorhythms are triple critical no doubt!

    On an unrelated note - the Big Hurt has the longest HR in the history of the HR Derby. Who knew?

    Who knew you could turn the cat's litter box into a giant yahtzee tub?

    In a related story, 2 1/2 rear view mirrors in your neighborhood are naked right now.

    I used to get involved in fairly high stakes triple yahtzee games when I was in Denver (we scored it kind of like Hollywood gin, with double and triple blitzes), and in one of these games a guy named Kahn hit two natural Yahtzees, quad sixes, and a natural long straight on four consecutive rolls. Never seen anything like it. My God, did that get expensive.

    No Target Cafe.

    I had some turkey Italian sausage thawd out and I wanted to do sausage, peppers, and onions over rice for dinner. I boil them in tomato juice, chicken broth, a little bit of Worchestershire (sp?) sauce, and some other spices. Great food.

    That's amazing. I just play with my girlfriend, and even when I win, the stakes aren't as good as I'd like them to be.

    How come I always feel sad for people I see eating there?? C'mon honey. Let's go to Target and have dinner.

    The odds for any natural Yahtzee are actually 7776 to 1, but technically you are correct in the odds that a natural Yahtzee of "2" is 46556 to 1

    I bought a pack a few weeks back at the local Srawl Mart and pulled out a Greg Smith autograph card just like this one, though it does not appear to really be worth much, it is always neat pulling an auto from a pack.

    Roger that...I did 6^6 on my Blackberry rather than 6^5...yesterday keeps getting unluckier and unluckier...I try to throw that extra dice in there all the time. My favorite is to score 36 on five 6's, don't know why I do it.

    Lol

    I know what you mean. It's usually an older guy or two, sitting there falling asleep while he waits for his wife to finish shopping.

    turkey Italian sausage



    No Italian makes sausage with turkey.

    At least I hope anyway.


    Steve
    Good for you.
  • I have never pulled an auto from a pack. What present-day packs have autos that you can find at Wal Mart or Target because I always see a boatload of unopened packs there
  • BunchOBullBunchOBull Posts: 6,188 ✭✭✭
    Aragorn, '08 Bowman has one auto per retail box. They're not going to make you rich, but they're still fun to pull.

    As for turkey Italian sausage...it's most certainly not home ground. However, it has less cals than the typical pre-packaged stuff and tastes just as good as the sweet Italian Johnsonville offers. It will never beat the old Italian lady in a New York basement though.

    I get to eat more that way. Plus my dietitian girlfriend approves.
