Default How many chairs is too many?

What a zoo. How many chairs can one person need. I had to use my phone account to make my bets. Those chairs are a piece of crap too.

You got to be shitting me with that chair, people are trying to sell them for $10 plus $15 for shipping and they don't even have armrests on them or a beer holder. You can go to any local sporting good or Wal-Mart/Target and get one for $20 with arms and a beer holder, and sometimes a foot holder too. Absolutely hilarious

Giveaway days are a pain in the ass.

I don't get why they have them on a Sunday (at least this one) when you are already guaranteed a good crowd? I'm no marketing genius, but why not have them on the day of the week where your attendance is the lightest to try to get a boost?

It is actually a good idea to have it on a Sunday after a big day. Reason I say this is that you should have seen Arlington on Sunday, 5 old people and 10 regulars, that is about it.

If you had them on a Wed/Thurs/Fri people would bitch up a storm that they couldn't get free ****.

I got a bomb fleece from Arlington on Saturday, has the Arlington logo on the left boob and BC logo with Challenge on the left bicep area and it is green, and they even had big boy sizes and not the standard LARGE/XL, huge fan.
