Dave Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 "For once in my life, I happen to become that sucker". Who here believes this?
Blue Heaven Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 IDIOT!!!!! Could have bought like 7 XBoxes with the $$$ he lost.
Dunny Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I just pumped $100 in the arcade at Great Wolf Lodge trying to do the same thing lol
Mike Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Fuckin idiot. Outside of the Verizon Center, Manchester is a dump packed with white trash. They saw him coming.
rvbcaboose Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 :palm: This is what is holding us back as a species.
Dunny Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^ Well yer Canadian, goes without saying :) Whatever man, you wouldn't say shit if you saw the size of the Angry Bird I scored!

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 And has the nerve to file a complaint. The operator gave him $600 back for no reason. Cut your losses and learn something you would've learned had you gotten past 9th grade
Chris Drewry Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 My theater tech teacher told me about his time working at a carnival once. Said that when the person running it gives a demonstration, they leave the ball that they use to demonstrate inside the bucket/bin so that any other ball that goes in will bounce off of that ball and out.

There's no way even that idiot didn't realize another ball was in there.
Pete Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The guy running the game uses his own ball, its older and deader with less "life". The balls he gives out are new.

Tonybologna Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 These are definitely rigged, there's no way you can be amazing at it for "practice" and then fuck up every time when you're playing for the prize.
Patrick Bateman Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 He'll make it all back on his next unemployment check
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 What a tragedy. Now he won't be able to afford more tribal tattoos.
Keirik Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Whatever man, you wouldn't say shit if you saw the size of the Angry Bird I scored! lol
