It was one of the Happiest days of my Life......
Yes and Thank God Rob was there at my first knife show lottery win...... I remember it like it was only several years ago.
I'm there. It's Friday and the Lottery is getting ready to commence. I'm Cool No Way, I never win anything so, I'll just hang w a y back and let everybody who stands a chance wiggle up front where the action is. Time to check for belly button lint.
Rick gives his speech (Now I know what it was like to hear MLK in person except, I still had no dream of winning)
They start pulling names, "Ima Plummer" , " Oooda Gooda", Kermit D. Frogg....... and "BAMM!!" WHAT???? WHO
Did He Just Say......... That was it.... Knees went weak. I'm asking to borrow an Adult Diaper and a Napkin
How the Hell do you get up there? and is there enough time before Rick says, " Oh Well, Next" I elbowed a couple People (little kids and an old woman) they didn't hit back so I was making progress.
I tried to remember my name just in csae I had to vouch for who I was, Where did I put that Damn Stub !
Wasn't in the diaper.
Only 40 feet to go......
OMG! I Won! Was I going to have to make an acceptance speech? Would the press or the IRS be there?
39 feet to go.....
I get there and time slowed down to a crawl (4 seconds had elapsed since my name was called, longest Hour of my life) and Now here I was..... at the Table! Life was about to be all worth it.
I handed Pete a couple thousand dollars and said, "Take what you want".
Rick is smiling.
Rob was growling.
Mike was singing gospel Hymns and telling Rob to be nice.
Pete was ordering jewelry on his smart phone with his new found booty.
I looked at the table and ......... Nothin.
My brain had completely vapor locked. I saw nothing, I mumbled and gurggled ( I didn't even understand me)
Rick said, " Hi Scott"
I farted.
I started pointing at a 3" production spanto flipper (it was pretty, Orange and shiney) I started to mumble a barely coherant , " Daaaaaa Ahhhhhhh Ummmmmm ......shiney......"
Rob pointed to the Right (His Left) and said, " I think you might like that one".
It was my Beautiful XM 24 DLC in FDE !!! I agreed with Rob, I did like it.
Pete gave me $450.00 in change and I started the long walk back wondering when my breathing would start again and whether anyone wanted that diaper back.
It was very exciting, Great experience - I Highly recommend it!!
Rob's still right - I love that knife. So, IF you Win (and I hope you do) just look at Rob and grunt - Pete will give you back change.
