One that I regret deeply. You see, my friends and I always have these little arguments about professional hockey. Normally I'm right. So I make a small wager to shut them the hell up. Here's how it works. If NJ wins, I get to film my hommie embarrasing himself. If Anaheim wins, he gets to film me.. while doing this: >The looser goes to the local convenience store (making a casual purchase) dressed as a monkey. Equiped with the essentials - tail, drawn on moustache and large monkey ears (attached to the star spangled utilitarian hat.) On film. Buying the nearest thing and getting the hell out will not suffice. The looser has to be outward and spoken and must purchase bananna related food items. And guess what? A few hours ago, Anaheim wins OT style. My friend calls me up. So I'm starting to have a bad feeling..The cops better not give me a criminal record for this Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
ooooookkkkkkk it is a very minor thing......you arent going to get in any trouble with the police. WEird bet though.....what were you on when you thought of that bet:m: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Unfortunately Unfortunately the lesson here is to never bet on hockey. Also unfortunate is that no advice is springing to mind, merely a largely-irrelevant Rheostatics lyric from "Uncle Henry": This is one of those occasions where I'm sure that would make sense to me if I was Canadian, but I'm not, so .... Don't bet on hockey, man. The only comfort I can offer is that you still won't look as stupid as the FOX network's "fiery puck" effect on the good one-timers. But if it lands you on Maury Povich, don't mention Sciforums. :m:, Tiassa Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Elbaz: It must be heaven to have a friend who will streak with you, plow through barrels set on fire, plunge in sewage and sludge through cowshit for the fun of it. I think its wonderful to have a friend who'd dress up as a monkey and spook a gas station simply because he lost a bet with me. It's a friend and that's what friends do. That's comfort. Give me that over pneumatic yes-men and the careless babble of acquaintance any day.
Just got home from a very refreshing jog..it seems funnier now, but I'm still clinging to hope No chemicals, my friend. Just pure hockey rivalry - the hardest drug of them all. Hard to understand for an American, I know. Originally we had planned far harsher bets. EG: -Committing lude acts at the park(basically canning ourselves circa star Jumping and landing on a duck, nuts first). Decided this was just stupid. -Cutting, and dying the other persons hair (this would have been a great alternativePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) -Other (better) things which I don't have the time to mention(Parents are calling me.) WIll get to those later/ Tiassa, Nice poem, hehe. I wasn't quite thinking of Bush, but looking back it's a fitting motif. This is different, though. I'm ALWAYS right when it comes to hockey (well..yeah, I predicted van. vs Ott. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) Hopefully Portland gets their team, soon so that you too can experience the craziness. No matter, not a single piece of advice could get me out of this predicament. Only that I follow through with my word and try to have a good a time. No problem. I don't have any webspace, but could probably use MSN to distribute to anybody interested Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! It will be funny, indeed. That is the bright side. I'm actually very glad to have lively friends like that. Most are too 'esteemed' to worry something as meaningless as the respect of strangers over that of true friends. Funny.. considering your point (which is accurate, IMO) this is more an act of friendship than one of rivalry.
Goddammint there better be pictures...seriously...there better bePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Elbaz, That's pretty funny--the monkey thing. Don't worry about it, I think it's a much better alternative to the hair cut. Maybe that's because I pretend to be obsessed with my hair. Oh well. Crazy stuff, like what you're talking about, I find has the best value in the memory of it. Do something crazy, remember it, laugh about it. That's what I think before doing something utterly insane--"well, this is going to be interesting. If I survive it should make a hellofa memory."
Well, as you all know, my friend will be doing it!!!!! New Jersey won(My friends and I watched it unfold together.) I already have portions of the 'documentary' - as I've began to call it, on film..with me taunting Bob*, my friend, with the liner- "who's your daddy?" When the buzzer finally rings. It's great. We'll be following up on the bet on Saturday. I can't tell you all how happy this makes me (even though my friends think that I would look like a better monkey.) There will be plenty of pictures, and video clips for you all -- especially the ones I will be distributing to his teachers and classmates Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (I haven't revealed that little detail yet, you see/) Anyways, you make a really good point, Pollux. The memories created are priceless. Even if I ended up having to do it, getting into a pile of legal shit would be worth it, bending out of character, if for nothing other than the experience. No sarcasm intended. Kinda like those kids in the crummy old movie where they walk on the train tracks..exept this one is actually gonna be cool! * -- Name changed for legal reasons.
There you go, exactly. And "that old movie"--are you talking about the one with Wesley Crusher (star trek nextgen), the one that's based on a steven king book? They go out on the train tracks, onto a bridge, and a train comes. They run away and barely make it, right?
Pic please. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Seriously, I love betting. And I've had a simliar situation to yours, except it was three people. The two losers (me and a friend) were to do something embarassing while getting their pictures taken. And guess how the picture had to look like? Yep. This style. Two pictures, one with me on my knees and one with my friend on his knees (he is quite straight). Facing the camera. Don't. Ask. For. A. Pic. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
