beans-n-icewater 18 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 ...And now I'm not sleeping for days.I had two ponies on that race.... SuperBrad to win and Call Rick For Help to placeI think SuperBrad is still trying to cross the line as we speak, but we all had CRFH to placeWe all had a big discussion about Rick always being second so that how we bet it Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Bear 3 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well, Beans, that's pretty much the worst thing ever. I am pretty sure the Silver Lining -- Call Rick for Help cashing your tickets in the 12th race -- just about makes it a wash, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Voldemort 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Im still worried about that rebate he was expecting....In other news, its time for a Beans Twilight Zone taleGather round the campfire, and pay no attention to the howling sounds. Damn plastic chairsSo last Saturday a small group of our friends went to Okieville to the horse track. Will Rogers Downs for those that want good marks on the quiz to follow. Anyway, the six of us (Rick, Pat, me, and the wives) were almost to the state line when Pat received a call from a kid that works for us once in a while doing odd jobs. The kid asked if we had anything to do that morning and was told we wouldnt be home until late and that it was too cold to work anyway.Late that evening after driving on solid ice back home, we found out the kid committed suicide. Rick had left his phone at the house, and found out by listening to voice mails left by the kid and his brother during the dayI just listened to them and still have cold chills....The first few were from the kids brother, asking Rick to please go by his house and check on him because he sounded suicidal. They sounded more and more serious until the last, which said "Rick, my brother is dead"Remember how I reported that we were betting on the horses names instead of previous results?The last message was date stamped six oclock, which was exactly the time that we won several dollars on the last race of the dayThe name of the horse was "Call Rick For Help" scroll down to the twelfth raceJust WOW.

I am pretty sure the Silver Lining -- Call Rick for Help cashing your tickets in the 12th race -- just about makes it a wash, though.not bad. I would have gone with the "so this means you have a job opening huh?" line, but yours was good too.(yeah, crappy story though beans. gonna probably end up being pretty tough on that rick guy too even though it's nowhere near his fault. stuff like that just sucks.)

loogie 115 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The crazy thing is that Call Rick For Help broke a leg a few weeks later and put himself down.OK. That was just awful. Awful. Anybody have any work for me? Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Bear 3 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 not bad. I would have gone with the "so this means you have a job opening huh?" line, but yours was good too.(yeah, crappy story though beans. gonna probably end up being pretty tough on that rick guy too even though it's nowhere near his fault. stuff like that just sucks.)I considered briefly and rejected quickly the following line:"That's pretty shitty; probably should've bet on Wampas Cat. Nobody would've shed a tear if your neighbor's outdoor cat ran into traffic 9 times." That isn't really funny (not that the first line was), and just seems more needlessly callous. In other news, according to an Excel spreadsheet, one of the following things is true:1) I am reasonably good looking2) I date women with bad visionMy "Physical Attractiveness" scores were actually kinda funny.College Girlfriend: "When we were dating? Or when we started dating? Or now? Because there were some swings in there, but you've aged well." Jess: "I didn't know how to answer this because you randomly started dressing well a few weeks after we started dating."Random Girl I Didn't Date That Long: "With a beard: 40 Clean-shaven: 80" (When I met her I had a beard.)Highschool Girlfriend: "I am a lesbian."

loogie 115 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 the "there's nothing funny about rape. well there is, but you had to be there."' joke? that was navybuttonses's'.I had one, too. It wasn't as funny nor memorable (obviously), but it was topical for its time. That's the trick to good comedy. Write jokes that become instantly dated and forgettable.
