Well poop

[Vehn]

I have a problem.

Going rubber band shopping tomorrow I guess.

[HDPM]

Ouch. I can grab a rubber band at the office and bring it to the seminar for you though. The rest is up to you. GL. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

We should all have such problems...

Your post should have been titled: "Well poop (another thin excuse thread)" /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

it's real easy Vehn, when you have $1000-such as in this case, you should just get it in all one hundred dollar bills, this way you can still use your paper clip. It doesn't make sense to use 10's and 5's and even 20's underneath the first couple of 100's.

Just my opinion.

LOL.

[Vehn]

Well that's just assumed /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

And yes I had by best session ever tonight thanks for asking!

LOL... sorry vehn, was just joking. /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif It's definitely a great feeling. Congrats!

Had my best ever Vegas trip last week, and made a proud cash deposit at the bank today. It was all I could do to refrain from explaining to the bank teller, in 2+2 detail, each and every street of each hand that resulted in my having so much cash. Luckily I have a hair appt later this week and Ms. Hair Lady has no choice but to listen to me /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Hi Vehn:

Your problem is that you are using standard size paper clips instead of the large ones which are much better than rubber bands.

Best wishes,
Mason

Very crafty putting the Benjamen on the TOP of the pile! /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

I'm meeting Bob tonight. Should be fun.

With a stack that big there's probably someone around who's not using their rubber band anymore. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you asked to borrow it.

that's funny, i have the opposite problem. i can't find a paperclip small enough to securly hold my bankroll.

[Phat Mack]

Go to the office supply store and ask for binder clips. They'll have three sizes to choose from. When you need the largest, you're a Grand Poohbah!

You have uncovered yet another of the downsides for those of us who play primarily online. Pictures of the cashier's window, and the occasional wire transfer are not nearly as sexy as cold hard cash!!!!!!

You're real problem is not separating your bankroll into more wieldly amounts, each of which can be tidily kept together with a paperclip (I like 2000 bundles). You need to put the money somewhere safe, so here are a few suggestions:

1. Inside a mattress. I don't like the one that I sleep on, because I'm sensitive to such things, much like the princess and the pea. Thus, I picked up an old one along side of my apartment complex. The urine stains don't bother me if I keep it outside.

2. Hollowed out floor in the guesthouse/shed. It works on the Sopranos. Alternative is in the birdseed trashcan.

3. Get some really tall platform shoes, and hollow out the soles. While you're at it, pick up some pimp schwag and roll with a feather boa and use a few bills to hire a harem of ho's. This way, you can enter the cardroom with Rodmonian (Dennis) style, along with a tidy bankroll that is safe from pickpocketing.

4. Get Gary Carson's book, and hollow it out - you can keep your money inside there. You don't have to worry about anyone actually looking inside it, 'cause who in the hell would ever WANT to read that piece of garbage unless put up to it on some sort of fraternity prank/suicide mission?!?

5. Go to the casino and ask them (nicely) if you can keep it there. Tell them that you can put it directly into the drop box.

6. Have somebody hold it in escrow. I'm thinking that the best person would be that sketchy dude on the rail who says that "you can trust him." He's giving you his word, after all.

7. Sew your money into a full-length $100 bill jacket. This would be tight! Also, compliments #3 very well.

These are just my opinions, but I'm Just Another Sucker. Be sure to include pics of whatever option(s) you choose.

Bob huh? I might know "bob".

[mike l.]

last year i ran so good early in the year i put down the $50 returnable deposit at commerce for a cash box. for awhile the box was literally brimming full of assorted large stacks of hundred dollar bills, $500 chips $1000 chips, even $5000 chips. over $30k at one point in that funny long metal box.

well, i spent most of it and lost a decent amount too and it was a strange, but not completely awful day when the box was completely empty and i turned in the key (but got to keep the gawdy gold "commerce" keychain!) and got my $50 bill back.

I think I told you that you could do well in that 15-30 game. Congrats.

[Vehn]

Yeah I think I had a good first month of the $15... /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Think I'll stick around.

OK enough pointless bragging. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[pudley4]

Nice start /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

So what time were you there tonight? I saw a Chris O on the list for 15-30 but never heard your name called. I wandered around the room for a bit when I got there at 7 pm, waiting to be called for my game, but I didn't see anyone with a broken paperclip in front of them /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[Vehn]

I was there 6:00-12:30, I got into the $15 at 6:30 so you probably saw the other Chris O. who plays in it on the board. I was in the 7 seat in the must move on 33 til about 8, then the 2 seat in the main game on 29. You can just ask the floor to point me out, they magically know who I am all of a sudden. /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

No Joke, I even got sent off the plane once because the customs thought I was a drug dealer. Luckily that happened in United Kingdom, if it happened in USA, it would be a bigger problem.
