Mase - Feel So Good
Notorious BIG - Mo Money Mo Problems

Was going to say Puff Daddy, but it was probably Mase I was thinking of

Reminded me of Feels So Good.

Recorded by one of my favourite artists from yesteryear, Chuck Mangione. Actually, Children of Sanchez and Belllavia were better. Come to think of it, he recorded a lot of albums.......... anyway, carry on.........

Does anyone know if the Kevin Smith movie 'Tusk' is going to be showing at any theatres in Vancouver? I really want to see it but I can't find anything.

Be safe out there, fellow RS members. Roads are pretty slick this morning.

Wow, what a tormenting way to lose out on a $100,000 payout, and I thought it sucked losing out on a $1,000 payout on a NCAA/NFL parlay only missing the Saints -6 vs Browns.

Delaware bettor loses $100K payday

A $5 bet was poised to turn into a $100,000 payday before the Indianapolis Colts melted down Monday night.

A bettor in the Delaware Sports Lottery picked 14 consecutive NFL winners against the spread over the weekend. His 15th pick would have turned the $5, 15-team parlay card into a $100,000 winner. Unfortunately, they took the Colts to beat the Philadelphia Eagles by more than a field goal.

A bettor's $5 wager would have reaped a $100,000 payday if the Colts had hung on to beat the Eagles on MNF. But Indy lost to Philly in the final seconds, rendering his 15-team parlay card worthless.
The Colts led 17-6 at halftime, but couldn't salt away the game and ended up losing, 30-27, on a last-second field goal.

"Honestly, we were rooting for the guy, starting with Sunday night's game," Delaware Lottery director Vernon Kirk said. "Our risk manager told us Sunday night that only one person had hit 14 games and needed the Bears and Colts.

"It definitely looked like Delaware had a winner when the Colts were up 14 midway through the third quarter," Kirk added. "Then to have the Eagles rally like that -- and to win in the last three seconds of the game -- it was agonizing to watch when you knew one player was so close to such a big payout."

No one has hit one of the 15-team, $5 parlays since 2011. The odds of picking all 15 games correctly are roughly 32,000-to-1, according to the lottery. More than 4,500 $5, 15-team parlays were placed for Week 2 of the NFL.

The Delaware Sports Lottery, outside of Nevada, is the largest legal sports betting operation in the U.S. It only accepts wagers on the NFL and requires bettors to pick a minimum of three selections per wager. Single-game wagers are not allowed; nevertheless, the lottery is growing substantially.

More than $32.5 million was wagered in the Delaware Sports Lottery during the 2013-14 season, a 28 percent increase from the previous year. Only $10.72 million was wagered on the lottery in 2009-10, the lottery's first year.

Wagers are accepted at the state's three racetracks -- Delaware Park, Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway -- in addition to more than 60 retailers.

Rob Ford is the butt of all jokes, butt this time, he got something in his butt. Cancer.

No matter what he was or is, cancer is a bitch. Hope he gets better so we can make fun of him again.

Only the good die young. He's not going away.

Scotland might leave the UK. If they do, the Union Jack will forever change.

The Union Jack, the flag of Great Britain, is made up of the flags of the four kingdoms all superimposed into one.

Our province's flag has the union jack in it. Will it have to be changed? I hope not. I like it the way it is.

Top Gear in Vancouver in November!?

:lawl:

most likely already answered in here somewhere, but if not, id like some insight.

apparently teambuy went bankrupt, so their site has no deals and their app is blank.

it says they went bankrupt on august 29th, but i had bought a deal on sept. 12th while everything was still up.

shows the charge on my credit card, and i can still log on to their website, but nowhere does it show my recent purchases etc.

was wondering if the product would actually come, or if i'd have to end up calling visa and doing a charge back.

any suggestions?
