She started wimpering after I took it to her, so Bozo, out of compassion I guess, gave her a prize pack as well. Big a$$ crayola set.

HOw ironic that we both participated...

That is wild bro. We are part of the Bozo Hall of Fame, only fitting.

I just pulled out the tape, It was Nov 25th 1986. Were you on it in Boston or Chicago?

thought i'd try, had a number one song about the same time as Smoky came out. Convoy.
back then we had classic lyrics like this in our number one songs,

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
In a kenworth pullin logs
Cab-over pete with a reefer on
And a jimmy haulin hogs
We is headin for bear on i-one-oh
bout a mile outta shaky town
I says, pig pen, this heres the rubber duck.
And Im about to put the hammer down.

Neither. It came to Philly. I was accompanied by my mom, my best friend, two of my brothers, and one of my brothers' friends.
I never thought in a million years I'd bump into someone that went through that same experience as I did. That is some wild $hit.
I thought it would be cute to show my girlfriend last year...ummmm. no, wrong idea. She played it in front of her family and I was soon after the laughing stock of the month. I wore the bright orange jersey, blue sweatpants WTF? (not to mention they were floodies, didnt even reach my socks). My enormous lips, that didnt fit my thin face back then, were flapping wildly. My voice was screechy and I actually pulled out the Arcenio Hall fist pump. Soooo embarrassing. Best part about it, was when the whole crowd danced at the conclusion of the show. I can't even explain the moves I was doing. Hysterical would be an understatement.
BTWay, when they did the bucket ball toss, the little kids helper couldnt even get it past the 2nd bucket. Some tall lanky guy too.
I'll never forget it as long as I live.

Yeah, I got to bucket 4, the prizes I got was a bozo cake, a wagon, some lincoln logs, and some gi-joe things. Pretty wild. I was messing with Wizzo the whole time. DUTTY-DUTTY DO

Lol. Is there somewhere I could go with my cassette tape and transfer it to a disk so that I could post it on the net? I dont know if you could do that, and wouldnt know where to begin if it is even possible.

no idea, I am afraid to play it because VCR's just eat tape now, and I don't think you can buy a VCR anymore at the store

My VCR plays it perfectly, without a hitch. Im about to bring it to Eckerd or Rite Aid tomorrow on my lunch break. See what they can do for me, or at least point me in the right direction.

Although this thread has disintegrated into nebulous prattle I thought I would respond once more. It seems we measure success differently. I am quite aware that if I adjust my ticket(s) and increase the spread (bet more) I would "hit" more often. But that would change my agenda, and I am not about to do that.

I did look at the pick six thread and congratulate the poster that found all six, even if monopoly money was the currency of choice. Calling the handicapping brilliant would seem a stretch. To wit: 8-5 favorite in a kill, 9-5 favorite in a kill, 7-5 free square, even money walkover and an outcross favorite were five of the legs. The other leg was a razor sharp filly in good hands that has moved way up since going green, figured a perfect trip and was dropping substantially in class. BBB

Your agenda? That has to beg the question " What is your agenda? " as there is no other agenda for a horseplayer other than to win. Thus, since you seem to not want to do that then it can only be discerned that you aren't a horseplayer. No problem. It's good to clear that up.

You do seem to be constantly auditioning for a public handicapping job. That makes sense. All too many public handicappers also don't bet, or understand how to, which is why they continually lead the public astray ( as you attempt to do ).

As for the Pick-6, once again you completely miss the point, and in the usual way. My point was he didn't handicap brilliantly....but he won. Why did he win? Because he played brilliantly. The proof is in the pudding.

As for condescendingly referring to his winning " monopoly money ", the man who spends hours handicapping cards and then only respects his opinion enough to wager $14 should be careful about throwing stones.

Do you fashion yourself as the phuckin Shakespeare of handicapping? Your overuse of the English language is rather disturbing. Kind of reminds me of the Harvard guy in Good Will Hunting. "HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!"

What exactly is your agenda if it isn't making money?

Actually Mr. Dirt already proclaimed himself the " Shakespeare of handicapping " quite a few years ago. And, let me tell you, BBB couldn't shine his shoes.....not that anyone would want to.

lol... it was a dark and stormy night as the gloaming set forth upon our interpid single in the contentious nightcap...

"To single or not to single, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in a $14 play,
or take arms against the blasphemous favorite
And by opposing possibly end my pick 4 play? To die, to sleep"

[blackthroatedwind]

Alas poor BBB....he was a man of infinite jest.

By the way, your post race redboarding needs work. Forgetting about how little you obviously looked at the pps to come up with this gobbledygook involving the favorites that won, suggesting that Love Code was " dropping substantially in class " shows a complete and total lack of handicapping comprehension. She was coming out of restricted NY Bred races.

No wonder you never came close to handicapping the Saratoga races successfully.
