Default Dime a Day

Who else thinks they went and ruined it this year?

They doubled the amount of entries each person could buy but, the prize money stayed the same.
This basically eliminates scooping the $1000 pool and will cause the pool to be split between more players.

I thought this was going to be a post about John D. Rockefeller.


Or maybe the next book written by DrugS on living within your means.

Or the autobiography of Todd Marinovich.

I once heard Eddie Vedder talk about being poor before Pearl Jam got noticed.
He said he would walk down to the street vendor and buy 3 corn dogs for a buck a piece and eat one for each meal of the day.
Well DrugS basically does the same thing with a $5 footlong from Subway.
Of course, he waits til almost midnight so he can get the cookies for free that didn't sell that day.
I would really hate to see how he ate before his mega Breeders Cup score this past fall.
I am positive I dropped more last night at Outback than DrugS has this month on food.

I thought the title was a story about Snoop Dogg.


In all seriousness... they don't want you to scoop. They want 100 people to win $10. That keeps them playing more.
