Odd title I know but fitting for the moment. All day I've been badgered to add $5 to a payday pool. Kept putting it off, so finally at the closing bell I threw in my bit. I won!! No much, but enough to give me a smile - $125 CDN.
I never win anything, so this is a big surprise.
How is it for other's and luck? Any big windfalls out there?
Found $1100 when I was 15.
Closest I've ever come to winning any money.
I did however win a company raffle 2 years ago. Bought 2 raffle tickets and won twice.
A Winchester .243 and a Remington 12 gauge.
Nope. Unlucky as two fucks, me.
Was out for a drink with workmates one Friday last year. Got off the train. My house is like 3 minutes away from the station. Got about 50 yards up the road, turned the corner and got beat over the head with a bottle. Two fucking chavs beat the fuck out of me for no reason whatsoever.
I was bleeding profusely from a head wound, broken collar bone, fractured wrist and 4 broken ribs.
Left it until Monday to tell the cops. I was 12 hours outside the deadline for a criminal injuries claim. So I didn't get a bean.
Cunts.
and with those you "won" all the other prizes too? :shifty:Quote:

I don't think it is about luck, its just timing and settings.
There are moments where everything just cruises perfectly.
project proposals, money, love, life etc.
I have had my fair share.
Didn't win any ammo. :dry:Quote:

Well Skizo, I for one think that was one nifty gift. I guess it takes a goofy northerner to appreciate texas-style gifts!;)

I think I'm pretty lucky.
I don't have any particular examples, it's just a general feeling I have :smilie4:
It's a great deer rifle for short to moderate ranges.Quote:

I'll be taking that as well as a .306 on a four day hunt from the 26th - 30th.
Can't wait. :)
Squirrel hunting are you? ;)
:lol:
where do you go hunt Skizo? You should come up to Canada for a big buck. I can hit them off my deck with my 7mm.
I found a quarter in the vending machine. I'm rich.. :D
From chatting to kallie, you have the same whitetail that we have down here. :unsure:Quote:

Put this in Google Earth and that will take you right to the cabin.
29°43'10.79"N 99°26'21.91"W
It's a large, mountainous region lease. A couple of the stands require ATVs to access.
£3.68? Not bad :smilie4:Quote:

Quite right, the cunts shouldn't be on your deck in the first place.Quote:

I've generally always been lucky with stuff. I win things, land ok when I fall....escape serious injury when I shouldn't, Avoid capture when I've been bad. I'm just a lucky bastard. :cheers: luck. :smilie4:
I guess I'm lucky, I always seem to find money on the ground when I go places. That and I haven't gotten shot, maimed, or beaten in my life.
The deer here eat out of my bird feeder.Quote:

How does one "...seem to find money...". Shirley one either finds it, or doesn't.Quote:

As for your location, it looks lush and flat. (Or is it really open?)
Must be super cold up there this time of year. :ermm:

your eye is sharp. yeah its pretty flat but it's the fact that its on a national park line that makes this special. my friend is a guide who caters to Americans for bear, deer, elk, moose, ducks etc. so there's no shortage of game.
And cold is an understatement my friend, it's fucking frigid.
I can't even imagine.
The coldest temperature I've experienced was here in Texas about 4 years ago when it got down to 19. It was miserable. :ermm:
That's like July temps in Canadia.Quote:

lol that's about what it is here right now.....and its actually pretty nice. it can dip to temps -31 to -40 F throughout the winter but average around -4 F
68 to 95 in the summer
You'd have yourself a Texcicle.Quote:

rofl that's a good idea. hey skizo would you like to come on a hunting trip
Apparently, at least judging by the results of the latest IQ test, I'm very lucky.
If true, this says many things about the value of intelligence AND luck.
