I got the mega ball number right (14)

[phattymatty]

one ticket in Illinois won it all.

I usually get 3 or 4 tickets for mega millions when it gets big - there was a stretch last month were I hit 1-3 balls plus the megaball for 5 straight lotteries which is pretty crazy odds.  still never won more than $10.

got 5 tix last night and didn't hit one single number on any of them.

I bought a Choco Taco a few days ago for the first time in years.  Today I see they're being discontinued. 

RIP.  Definitely the best mass produced ice cream thingy.  Like who buys a normal Klondike over. Choco Taco?  Weird choice on their part.

I haven't had one for years but yeah they're legit. Wonder why they're axing them?

I don't ever win on the lotto numbers but have hit some nice licks on scratch offs

Thought about getting a ticket for the big lotto just as a lark... then ended up forgetting about it.

I figure I ended up $5 ahead of 99.99% of the population!

I never buy lottery tickets.

Correction: somehow it became tradition to put a scratch off in stockings at Christmas.  Once s year i buy four scratch offs.

I think I've bought one once... the first time it was $1B?

Didn't get a single number on that one.

Took my kids to Hershey Park this weekend

Rainy-ish day = more rides per hour, fewer people

America is farging grotesquely fat, holy shtein

Not used to seeing so much Eagles gear, it's great

[Diomedes]

woke up this morning thinking I was gonna go do some work

rain upended that...welp, I guess I'll run errands and fill out my workman's compensation insurance audit

then I read my email and now I"m going to a funeral for a friendly acquaintance who died suddenly last week

wonder what tomorrow has in store for me...death maybe?

i'mma get a bottle on the way home

[General_Failure]

Sorry to hear that, Dio. I hope you get to run those errands tomorrow.


No, but seriously, sorry man. Don't crawl too far into that bottle.

At 62, one can say he died young...but he died bicyling.  A lifelong passion.  He didn't have to suffer the indignity of dying old in the modern world. 

Strangest thing...the opening music, performed by a solo guitar/vocal, was Cohen's "Hallelujah." 

Including the line "the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot someone who outdrew ya"


I'm like, damn...what kinda funeral this?

Not sure if anyone watches Hot ones on YouTube but they interview celebrities while eating 10 wings ranging from mild to holy shtein hot. Here's the one with Embiid

Daughter expressed interest in doing the challenge, so I bought the season 18 box of 10 hot sauces. We did the challenge Sunday during football. She was out at #6 (Collard N Ghost 70,000 scoville heat units). I crushed all 10 then did it again yesterday because we had left over wings. The sauces all taste decent to very good and the heat is gradual until you get to #8 da bomb...scoville heat unit is only 135,000 but the way it's made makes it burn as hot as the final sauce The Apollo (2,000,000 + scoville heat units).

For comparison Franks hot sauce has about 450 SHUs...Cholula around 1000.

Anyway fun Sunday if you want to torture your kids
