I'M A WINNER!

Yeah, I know. I was surprised too.

I was driving home from my case today and the local alternative station, The Point, is running a best pick up line contest. Similar to Junegirl's, only I won concert tickets(NIN and Queens of the Stone Age) and a shot at a trip to Vegas to compete in the Duece Bigalow: Male Gigolo obstacle course and the GOLDEN BONER award that goes to the winner. Being only slightly interested in NIN and Queens of the Stoneage, I just hope I get really lucky and bag the trip to Vegas. If I win, I will be accepting bribes to see who goes with me and holds the videocamera while I thoroughly embarass myself.

The Golden Boner? You're already the winner in my mind.

I used to love NIN but I have not been turned on by the new single and Queens of the Stoneage has been hit or miss with their singles although my sister loves Queens so I may just give her the tickets.

i'm disappointed .. you missed the whole "talking" thing ...

i don't like the new single either .... i like back in the day songs like "Closer" and "Hurt" and some others. i don't even know who Queens of the Stoneage is.

Yeah, I am a bit slow today. The last 3 days have been a bit on the long side.

Good luck on the Vegas thing. I hope you win, just so I can tell all my friends that I guy I know has the Golden Boner Award...and no, he's not in porn.

Tickets to NIN! I am SO jealous right now. They are coming here in November but I don't think I can afford to go.

Ohhh I've always wanted to go to vegas. ;)

Larry, I can't believe you posted and didn't tell the line you used! Where's the fun in that?? What the hell?

Oh, wait. You said you might give me those tickets?? Uh, nevermind! You post what you want! Don't pay any attention to me, Best Brother Ever. Have a lovely day!

(Excuse me, I've gotta go throw up now...)

Larry, I can't even begin to explain how much I miss The Point!

Hands down, the best alternative station I've ever tuned in to.

It was always hit or miss out at Fort Leonard Wood.. sometimes I'd take a drive to Rolla just so I could listen to it.

I know Trent.

Joe, is that a hint?

P-Shag, I don't know how big of a pool they are drawing from so I have no idea what my odds are. But, hey if I win I promise a pic of me trying to win the Golden Boner on the blog.

Jazz, nice legs, what time do they open? (please don't slap me, that was the line I used)

Dani, if you were to come to St Louis, I definitely would not be giving the tickets to the Steph. Oh yeah, the trip to Vegas is a trip for two. ;)

Are you happy now, Steph?

Mark, I agree with you. Out of all the traveling I have done it is the best alt rock station I have found also.

Erika, you should hook him up with Raven. She would love to "talk" to him. How do you know the man?

I worked with his girlfriend, he lives like an average guy, hangs out at the coner bar/laundry mat. I'm not kidding about that, it's a bar, serves beer and snacks and a laundry mat, complete with coin operterated washing machines and dryers, it's off St. Charles street in New Orleans. He is really weird, but nice enough I guess.

Blogger Larry said...

A bar/laundrymat. Only in the south.

Blogger Erika said...

I haven't talk to him since just after grad school, 2000 or 2001, I didn't mean to make it sound like we were close or anything. As for the bar/laundymat - only in New Orleans, it's another country I swear, but don't get me wrong I love it.

I wanna go, I wanna go!!!!!!

what? you're giving the tickets away? i totally would have gone with you to see NIN.

dammit. i mean, uh, congratulations.

Blogger Larry said...

Erika, at least you got to know him for a bit. I always wonder about famous people. Most of them dont seem to have a clue about real life.

ltlme, welcome back. So what you are saying is that I should auction off the tickets? or are you going to take another vacation.

Duff, I may keep those tickets yet. I still have to go pick them up on monday. I wonder what row they are in.

You mean you didn't use my "nice legs, but they could look better... on my shoulders" pick up line? Bastard.
When do we, uhm, leave for Vegas? You know, being Mexican and all, I can attract a whole section of the female populace you wouldn't be able to do alone... hint, hint, and what not.

Blogger Larry said...

I gotta win it first.

It's what we call a long shot.

8:05 PM  
Blogger Larry said...

I concur.

Blogger Ren said...

You know what? That whole "loose baby" connotation takes on a whole different meaning when you spell lose with two O's. Maybe your mom was talking about your jeans?

Blogger Jess said...

Just so you know, I've got a mad lucky streak when it comes to gambling, so if you're in Vegas to rake in some monies, I could be of service.

I'm also really good at attracting hookers, so....No, I'm not really. But, dammit, I want to go to Vegas.

Blogger jazz said...

i laughed. you're okay. no slapping you at this point...

Blogger Larry said...

Marriedman, I know you meant to do it, but, loose?

LOL, LB.

I don't know if R would approve, Jess.

Lost, winning is winning. I just hope I get the big prize.

Jazz, I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed. ;)

Here's the deal... IF you win the tickets to Vegas, you hold some sort of contest for us blog-types, and the winner pays his/her way to come along with you... How about it?

Blogger Dirty Gypsy said...

Oooh - the plot thickens...

This could turn out to be the funniest thing ever.

9:14 AM  
Blogger Larry said...

Hmmm. I will have to think about that and converse with those around me to figure out exactly what the best way to do this would be.

Everyone, your input would be helpful.

I am never lucky at winning stuff!! But to win i guess you would have to call in, or buy that lotto ticket first.. Good luck with all that!!!
