Split the pot

So last night me and the crew... Tofe, Jeffery,Sammy and myself went to the Cole er rain game to watch them pummel yet another GMC opponent high on the notion that they could actually beat 'Dem Cards this year. Anyhoo, the place was packed seeing as it was Elementary school night and it was a pretty big league game. The "Split the pot" parents were out in full force, tickets in hand soliciting you for your hard earned cash for a chance to win the pot.

Now for the uninitiated, there are rules to live by when playing the "Pot". The first rule is to never play it when you are on the road. Home fans always win... Always. Go figure. The second and most important rule is to wait until the game has actually started and buy your tickets then and only then. Why? Well, I'll tell you why. When the ticket numbers are called, it's always a high number on the ticket, meaning that it was a ticket sold later on in the process. So halftime rolls around and Jeffery and Chris and Sammy have all ventured into the crowd to use the bathroom and purchase that wickedly addictive popcorn whose scent had been tickling my fancy since we arrived. The man comes on the intercom and begins to read the numbers for the winning ticket... 5 1 8 7 6 1 ...........3. To make the matter all that more intense, I had the tickets folded over in my wallet. 5187612 was face up. I had purchased two. One for me and the other for Jeff. So as the goosebumps consumed my body, I calmly reached in to flip my ticket over and view the second number. Did I have 1, or did I have 3? ... As you can probably guess, I had 1. FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

GOD DAMN YOUR EYES !!!!! I was, hell, still am sick about it. Missed out on $735.00 dollars because I only bought two tickets. Fucking luck!!

Oh, on the bright side... Colerain won 34-0. Same as it ever was.
