"-- and when i win the lottery-- --i'm gonna buy all the girls on my block--"[More:]
sorry, i'm busy busy busy, but when i got to catch up on yesterday's posts, i scared the bejeezuss out of my neighbors Laughing Out Loud (damyouall) but that could be because sleep deprivation makes everything that much funnier.
it was a pretty damn good day for me really, until i was about to go to the bed and opened the mail--
three letters: I R S
ha. it's ok. but i may be free soon, to be more scrutible.
but it's my friend's birthday today (an NY posse person) and i didn't know how high the us lottery was when i had my lottery idea.
so as i try to make two deadlines tonight (one a mecha thing), make a bunch of calls, do a bumch of stuff, maybe not blow off people of in the meatworld, two things:
thank you for yesterday-- showing off some amazing comedy skills, the music, the cameraderie, the links, the rest
and GO PLAY THE FREAKIN' LOTTERY
but more so on my birthday
i hope when i get to do my catching up you are all a fraction as entertaining, and i may even toast you
with liquor, fire or both
Weird. I'm listening to Camper van Beethoven right now.

interro: not so weird

and i've only had a carrot so far and a bite of my amazing well held up oatmeatpeanutbutterchocolate thing (to be called cookie thing) which has held up every well (suck on that, newyorker cookie contest people, although i am still fond of you, mal)
posted by ethylene 19 October | 19:27
oatmeat is a joke for the vegans and bumch is not a typo either and i have to shut you guys off for awhile or i'm getting nothing done

don't look at the numbers in this powerball link yet
in the one ticket i found so far i picked all the numbers for one a week after they one, which is worth a dollar's amusement for me

go with your gut/god

i have, as you see, exceeded my personal consecutive rule for today as i am celebrating for my friend.
Please out out for "tobias" which is her pseudomyn and though i love her, i avoid letting my nonmetafriends from knowing my webhangouts
and maybe someone can put this or them in the shouting thread so i can copy them for her

that was "SHOUT OUT"

I wonder how much extra profit the Powerball and MegaMillions lotteries make off people playing Lost Hurley's numbers?

Alternately, I wonder how many ways the pot would be divided if those numbers ever came up in real life?
posted by wendell 19 October | 21:07
the numbers: 7 21 43 44 49 pb: 29

i haven't found my ticket or old tickets yet but i know i didn't win
i did find ten dollars i hid from myself tho (rock!)
i bet no one won!

*fake drumroll on someone's flabby tum tum*
(someone avail me please? as many people appreciate a comfy pudge)

and my numbers for tonight's powerball drawing are:
quick picked from the machine!

heh.

8 10 16 18 49 pb: 13 QP6(?)

i like the spread but they would never win
too even for me, i'm odd
i like that my powerball number is 13 and it starts with 8
(i 8, taz! but only a carrot and some cookie stuff and coffee with stuff and cheap "when in rome" beer. I'll get to it!)

so the machine got one number. woo.

here's the bananas part for the peal slippers--
i found one of the old fill out forms and the numbers are:
9 23 31 34 45
it gets a little weirder but i'm tired and don't know what dates to look up for old winners and am going to eat something

remember: PLAY SOME KIND OF LOTTERY ON THE 22ND FOR THE SAKE OF ETH!

gonna eat something now

Shit, I forgot to get a ticket - I will do so this morning.

my mods in the house!
you must do it when you feel it
wind your way around today and see what happens
it's about guts and glory of the greater good
bow before the randomizer!
or know what you mean when you mean it!
posted by ethylene 20 October | 05:03
or if you remember and have the chance of course
posted by ethylene 20 October | 05:03
OK, so I got a couple of lucky dips:
1 9 10 11 15 34
8 13 14 29 31 49

3 numbers or above gets a prize.

Kiss my ticket and wish me luck.

dirty!

so that's the british one?
do they have a website?
posted by ethylene 20 October | 07:27
Yep, it's here. It'll be up on Saturday

Mine is the Lotto - the others are too technical for me.

By the way, I rarely play the Lotto and when I have I've never won a damn thing.

I always win things, but never money.

i suppose that's the difference between faith and blinders of denial
hoping despite what may seem evidentiary to some
as opposed to blocking out or compartmentalizing everything you don't like or don't understand or just doing as you think you're suppose to because someone said so

but i think playing the lottery should be a very zen activity, absent minded
as said somewhere
the only thing you need to know about luck is not to rely on it

i didn't want you to want to win
so much as make an act of faith in the greater good (or just live entertainment)
as a gift for me or a reason to play the lottery or for one time to spend a buck with full conscious knowledge of why

whatever.

how did you pick your numbers?
posted by ethylene 20 October | 08:27
I went for a random selection
posted by dodgygeezer 21 October | 18:11
apparently i would have won all kinds of crap over there.
i wonder how you could resist something called Thunderball

but i'll note one comparison:
there you have a bonus ball
here we have a power ball
while balls and balling have all sorts of meanings on both sides of the pond
i like the idea of getting a bonus better than the thinking you must have the power.

as my powerball number was thirteen
it seems even more fitting with that link.
p.s. when i said i bet, i was not only minorly imboozed and did not actually bet anything

make good, person in oregon!
