My cat often sits on me and trumps.

i'd vote for Bizzaro Trump. (Reverse Trump)
Trump is his own inverse.
Did someone merge the Trump thread into this one?
The Post Race is getting so massive it's starting to absorb surrounding threads.
Trumps ego is soooo big it has its own event horizon.
One thread to rue them all.
(yeah, that's not a typo).
With all the Powerball hype out there I should be astonished at the number of people who consider the purchase of lottery tickets to be a sound financial investment.
I should be, but I'm not. :rolleyes:
Tonight is Vigil night out at Boy Scout camp!
For $2 I think that I'll probably be buying a lottery ticket for the chance to win. That's my "problem" though with lottery. I only play when it gets this ridiculously high and the odds are really against you and I only ever buy 1 ticket. So I should not be surprised that I've never won the millions.Quote:

Pretty much!
That would be more true if the cost was significant. As it is, some people are buying a dream for half the price of a coffee. I won't buy a ticket, though, because I'm pretty darn certain I'd forget to check the outcome.
I bought a ticket today. The guy behind me asked "Just 1?" When I was walking out I overheard him ask for 50 with power play!
I hope that he was joking.
Not likely. However, he might not have been one person, in effect. There are lots of offices where people pool their money and buy a bunch of tickets. I think that if my office did that I'd probably join up. Not that I have any real interest in it, but it's worth an occasional couple of bucks to avoid being the one guy who gets squat if they actually won. Fortunately, my office does NOT do some office pool thing.
Buying a few tickets or chipping in on the office pool is one thing. Spending $50-100 or more is another. I'm seeing folks on facebook actually bragging about how much they've spent.Quote:
