I forgot to check the oil in the lawnmower. Replacement engine was about about a grand.

[JTrout]

"That's bullshit!"
-JTrout to a police officer.

[Cyrus]

That's as stupid as it gets.


(Stupid Loans To People - What Were We Thinking? would make for a great thread on its own...)

In the line of JTrout

"Hey, you aren't going to arrest ME are you?"
-cielo to running at me oncoming riot cop, who had full gasmask/helmet on and definetly didn't hear me. /images/graemlins/frown.gif That's by far the most I've ever paid in rent for one night's stay

[bugstud]

hmmm, many good ones for this thread. Vegas or gambling on video games, take your pick.

ON the bus from the airport to cabo, left my wallet on the seat on the way to my friends bachelor party. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

More than a grand though

Using ten hundred dollar bills to light ten cigars in the course of one evening at a Fat Cat socialite party in Manhattan. I only had $1500 to my name at the time. But I just so desperately wanted to fit in.

I backed my car into my dad's truck while it was parked in his driveway.

You should have bought a replacement mower for about 300-400.

The mower is an XMARK. It's not your average mower, 1/4" steel plating all around. I had a mowing business in highschool.

A druken craps game at the horse shoe. 1k 30 minutes.

Was laying the 4 and 10. The floater must have hit them both 6 times in a row. If you want the story I can type it out

I bought a Hugo Boss sportsjacket at Barney's for just under a grand.

To this day, I have no idea what I was thinking.

Damn right. No one can top that one. No poor person in the world has ever shown such a brazen disregard for money before. It was all worth it though when I managed to get the big New York players to laugh at my jokes and treat me like an equal.
