    Hot streaks.......

    Everyone has hot streaks in life, sometimes its at work, school or in sports. Right now I have a good friend that is on the hot streak of a lifetime. His current hot streak is winning things off the radio.

    Since July 17th he has now won 26 sets of concert tickets on various radio stations. Most stations only allow you to win once every 30 days so he has used various names as well, in fact I have won 4 sets thanks to him. .

    He won 3 sets of Pearl Jam tickets just last week. Today he won Creed/Staind tickets, he has won American Idol tour tix, Nickelback, Def Leppard, and various other artists. He has also played in the 1280 the zone poker tournament every week (which you have to call in to qualify for) and has won it once and finished top 3 each time. We just sat down and added up everything he has won recently.

    26 sets of concert tickets (he has sold them all for well over $1000)
    - American Idol made $150
    - Dave Matthws made $80
    - The Fray made $40
    - 3 separate sets of Nickelback tickets made $125 on each one
    - 3 separate sets of Def Leppard made $80 on each one
    - 4 separate sets of Deathlock made $80 on each set
    - 3 sets of Pearl Jam made $140 on each set
    - Set of Chevelle tickets still not sold
    - Creed/Staind tickets guy coming tomorrow $110 on those

    The rest are small bands I have never heard of.

    a pair of chuck taylor all-stars from Shoe carnival ($50 value)
    $50 to OUtback steakhouse
    $300 Best buy gift card
    5 free rounds of golf at Thanksgiving Pointe
    $25 to Cafe Rio
    Some sort of gift pack with an assortment of lotions and women crap in it

    Talk about a serious hot streak. I had 13 straight hits in little league one time I think that is my best streak at anything.

        I still can't believe how that troll comes back to haunt me. Last time I troll my own friends list.

          My brother-in-law knew the DJ at one of the local radio stations. The DJ would call him about 10 minutes before they would have a contest. Then the DJ would watch for his phone # to pop up the caller ID and announce him as the winning contestant. He did this multiple times until the manager started getting wise, so next time he had my wife call in. She had no idea what radio station she was calling into. When the DJ asked her for the phrase that pays, she just made something up. She got the tickets anyways and my brother-in-law went to another free concert.

            What was the phrase that paid that day? I like when the DJ has to spoon-feed it to the person.

              I can't remember. I just remember laughing so hard in the other room listening to her say, "Ummm, uh, ummm..." and then some inaudible radio station number. Then the DJ said it for her and dropped her off the air.

                I will need to do an Ipod inspection before I can be convinced it was just a lame troll.

                  My ipod is an open book. No Nickelback has or will ever corrupt my music. The entire post was based off of the fact that I heard a nickelback song on the radio and did not change the channel. I realize that this in and of itself is a sin, but hardly one that requires the withdrawal of fellowship.

                    If that is a sin, then I'm in big trouble. I don't change the channel for a lot of people you music snobs would cringe at, I'm sure. I hope that doesn't require some sort of shunning. And my Ipod is no open book. You wanna take a look, it will require a subpoena.

                      Tell your friend to hang in there. This horrible luck of his won't last forever.

                          If he goes to the Creed show, ask him to pick me up a copy of the Kid Rock tape......

                            On the flip side, I tricked SHW into liking Megadeth. This is a better coup than when I got her to admit that Metallica's black album kicks ass. Slowly but surely, I am bringing her over to the dark side!

                              So that's the real reason you started wearing that snorkeling mask around the house.
