It's my dad's 80th birthday party today.

80. Ugh. He used to be young and now he is 80.

I guess I'll be 80 someday. If I am lucky. Would that be lucky? I don't feel like that would be so lucky. At least not if things keep going the way they are going. I need to make something happen.

I think I would start smoking cigarettes if it wasn't so ridiculously expensive.
 
What is it with people?

Facebook trivia games are supposed to be fun. Have a game or 2 per day and a little friendly competition.

Why are there always people who devote chunks of their lives to these obscure games, playing for hours on end every day, spending money getting extra episodes, until they have all the questions memorized and can win every game (except, I guess, when they encounter another tool like themselves and it becomes a competition of who is the fastest clicker)?


IMO, people need to stop being such wanksticks.
 
There is someone at the one game - QwizShow - who has clearly created a ghost. They have memorized all the questions using a previous name - and then started a new name so it won't show all the errors that even the smartest player is bound to end up with as they go through the memorization process - because there are so many random guess questions - so now they have played like 450 games this week getting only 3 questions wrong the whole time (or whatever).

What does that do for you? Do you sit at home and mentally set aside your actual overall record and say to yourself, "Fuck yeah! I am the champion of Facebook QwizShow! I am King of the World!"

I guess so.




On a positive note, I have won free Tim Hortons coffees each of the last two days "Rolling up the Rim to Win!"

I actually am King of the World!

Perhaps the people you are referring to are sad/depressed and/or have other problems they are trying to escape from and these games fill a void in their lives.

Muddy, we all die alone, pal.

Sure, but how are you doing in Roll Up The Rim to Win?




MrMonkey
Muddy, what's the % of winning from your experience?

I believe they have come right out and said that 1 in 6 is a winner.

I have been doing a little better than that this time around but nothing spectacular.

I don't have difficulty keeping track of my "wins". I have won exactly two free coffees after buying at least 150 cups of coffee since the promotion/contest began.

1 of 6? (16.66%)

Plommers purchases show a different result. (0.013%)

common.

PS: Plommer can tell you that every fucking Tim Hortons he has visited from Montreal to Vancouver is usually very busy most of the time, plommer has had the pleasure of waiting in line for up to 15 minutes in the Tim Hortons drive thru in many Canadian cities/towns/villages.

PPS: Ok, 15 minutes may be an exaggeration but it feels like 15 minutes when waiting.

Muddy, I like the idea! The anticipation of seeing if your a winner! A few local pizza joints give you a card and after punching out say 10 pizza purchases from it, you get a free pizza! Sometimes you end up losing the card and never get one!

What drives me nuts is how poorly they are often laid out on the inside for waiting in line. There are no roped off queues or whatever. Everyone just kind of stands around wherever they choose to stand around. So you often end up with everyone just kind squished back against the doors while other people are trying to get in and out, and you have to hope people are honest about what order they are supposed to be served in.

Fortunately most Canadians do not try any monkey business when it comes to the Tim Hortons line-up.

dumbericans!

Most Tim Hortons stores have an exclusive cashier for the rich so that they never have to wait in a queue like regular working stiffs. (Just like at the bank where they have a "business" teller that regular fukks are not allowed to use.)

common.
