Mario and Luigi...Reunited

I think I spent a small fortune trying to win a damn Mario doll out of one of those crane machines at Gameworks. Over the course of two days, I would say I spent around thirty bucks. The thing is you don't really know how much each try is unless you take a minute to do the math. And god knows I'm not going to do that. I stopped doing math after college. Anyway, each try is around 50 credits or something like that. But who cares? I've got a million credits, right? That's where they get you. Turns out, it's like three bucks a try. Well the last time we went, I asked the girl at the card counter if I could give her twenty bucks and she gives me a Mario because I know I'm going to end up spending it trying to win him. She told me it didn't work like that. I tried several times before giving up and heading to the bar. I'm sitting there by myself, drinking a pitcher of beer right out of the pitcher drowning my sorrows when I see Chambers coming my way with a shit eating grin on his face. He's got a friggin Mario in his hand. Apparently, he won the thing on the first try. Chambers won me both Mario and Luigi. I brought them into work and set them on my desk. Now I need to get Donkey Kong and Wario. "I'm a Wario. I'm a gonna win." Just not at the crane game.

Nice.....atleast you didn't throw the Mario doll back at me and say "I don't even like Mario.....I wanted Wario!"

I actually played the fishing game and didn't last put two throws until my hand started hurting. That games tough.
