This is feeling like Chuck Bass thread all over again

I've enjoyed the stories but just reminds me of a mini Tucker Max. If I were you I'd keep having fun on this thread and forget about the book. It will be a waste of time and money.

I haven't been up to Umass in a few years. But will keep you in mind if I do get out there.

I'm trying not to. I was so tilted last night. I usually type out a story on the notepad, then copy and paste it over to this thread. I just wrote it all out in the reply box last night. It was a short one about Poker Jay. When I was done and went to link in photos, I deleted it somehow. So frustrating

Tucker Max has been referenced multiple times ITT. I've read some of his stories and enjoy them. The difference in our stories is mine are all 100% authentic. My stories have more of a gambling/crime background as opposed to just drinking/girls. From what I understand it will cost me basically nothing to publish an e-book. It will cost me time. If you think I'm wasting that, then that would imply I'm doing the exact same thing ITT. Wasting time. If I can waste it here, I don't see why I shouldn't waste it trying to write good formal stories about actual events in MY life.

With 2 backers and $21 pledged I would scrap the book and just have fun.

Again, I like the stories and think you should continue here. You are getting great response when it's free. Add a couple bucks and it all changes. Very well known people fail at book attempts all the time. Do you really think an unknown talking about his crime wave will succeed? I hope it does but the odds are long. Obviously you aren't going to do it for the money so why add any more headache.

Keep up the good work.

That KS is a dead idea. Don't need that at all to write a book. Enough people have encouraged me to write a book. So I'm going to take a stab at it while I'm still interested in it.

Do I think it will succeed, that depends on how you would define success. If I complete it and give away 10 copies. Then get a good response, that qualifies for me. I'm happy with all the positive feedback I've gotten so far. But I want some order and stability in my story layout. It will just be nice to see all of them together in a nice timeline with no grammar errors. Not in a mess the way it pans out ITT. Any financial gain would just be a bonus.

I in no way think I am a good writer. I have been skeptical of people even claiming I write "well". This is all in good fun. I have been very lazy lately with writing, hope to get motivated soon. If I don't get motivated, it may just end up being a scrap like you recommend. Anyway, I hope to get up something quick today.

Ok I'm going to try to get a story up at some point this week. But until then I will leave you guys with a quick FUN FACT: Poker Jay is married and has never had sex with his wife.

Yes this is absolutely true. Some may be married and not sleep with their wife anymore, but it should be safe to say that you have at least done it once. Never has he penetrated his wife, this is a fact. Here's why. A few years back things got real hard trying to make a dollar around town for Jay. Luckily he met someone that was able to set him up with a job. Not many know that Poker Jay was once a traveling carny. He was back at it, traveling from carnival to carnival working a food station. He seemed to enjoy this lifestyle with his fellow carny's. He would party after hours with them. Many had missing teeth and were filthy like you would assume. He kind of felt at home. They would drink cheap beer, arm-wrestle each other, and smoke dirt weed.

Jay claims to have found a decent amount of female carny's that were willing to sleep with him. Nothing to brag about, but there was one exception he found. She was a Polish girl, or maybe Russian. Actually, I'm not sure. All I know is she was on a temporary visa. Jay would spend much of his down-time trying to score a date with her. She wasn't attracted to him in that way though. After many attempts of sparking up conversation with her, she realized Jay had something she wanted. Which was citizenship. On the other hand she had two things he wanted. Money & pussy. He was only getting one though.

After some extensive talks they became friendly and managed to work out a marriage. Story has it, her parents wired $10k over to the states to make this official. Jay was given maybe three installments over the course of getting the marriage finalized. Jay had never once even got onto 1st with her. When the ink dried, there was no honeymoon. They were right back to the next carnival. I'm not positive, but he managed to piss the $10k away on carny like activities. He would play the carnival games on his days off, trying to win prizes. He believed he had inside knowledge to beat the game. Didn't end up with much to show for that, except for a few stuffed animals he gave his wife. That still didn't get him laid. He spent much of it on beer and drugs to party once the gates closed. Booked many losses in short-handed poker games. After all was said and done he was left with a George Foreman grill to show for $10k and a marriage. It was kind of like a self purchased wedding gift. These two finally decided to part ways. Jay was getting fed up with the carny life and she had bigger plans for her U.S. citizenship. She did give him a quick peck on the lips for their final goodbye. He returned home married, heartbroken, broke, and miserable. He still cooks on the Foreman and stays into contact with his wife through Facebook.

Our other friends always wondered what Jay did with the $10k. Considering this was a monster score for him. I decided to spread the rumor that he invested it in a miniature Ferris wheel. That he was looking to make money on the side. It was a starter wheel that needed much rehab. Kind of like flipping houses, but in the amusement park ride form. He intended on servicing and doing all the maintenance himself. Once he was into it for $10k, he got shot down on the state safety inspection. He even tried in states with weaker guidelines and still no dice. Once he realized he couldn't get certified, he ended having to scrap it at a junk yard. He wagered the $400 he got from the scrap yard on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2011 Superbowl. He thought it was an omen with all the steel he just scrapped. They lost of course. This isn't what happened, but I prefer my version over him dwindling it away on carny fun.

Spoiler:

God damn fantastic thread, OP.

Thanks for sharing.

I was gonna just hang out at home today, but now I think I have to drop into the casino like a boss and show these bitches how it's done.

This is an excellent thread.. I've done a little degening in my time but not like this man, great read.

This make me spit Coke Zero on my monitor.

This is my favorite story in the thread. The magnificent thing about WarmDeck's stories is that (with pics and video proof attached) any single post would be worthy of a standalone thread. And we have two damn baker's dozen worth ITT. Best thing going on in 2+2 this year outside of Oscillator's WSOP player of the year run.

LMFAO
THIS THREAD
SO GOOD
07-04-2014 , 12:10 PM
keep going with your idea about the book. its much more tangible of a goal and much more impressive than having the best BBV thread. something you can look back on and be proud of. don't let the thread die and toss in a story or two (maybe ones that won't make the cut) here. stay in touch etc and use this as an avenue to promote. I for one will snap up a book or three and prolly toss them to some friends i know would enjoy it.

don't listen to the haters. you've given this place enough and use it for the what it is.
07-04-2014 , 12:50 PM
I feel like I'll get a wave of negative feedback, then a run of positive. I love the current winning streak.

I ripped a pretty lame quick clip that I thought may be appropriate for today. Wins was always good for being talked into doing something stupid. He obviously agreed to the sparkler, but the jumping jacks was a surprise which was funny. Also notice improper flag being used.

<broken link removed on request of OP>

Another thing. I'm getting close to having a confirmed group of degens for Vegas. So getting ready to book hotels & flights. Most likely looking for 3 hotel rooms and actually thinking of booking them at different hotels and trying to spread them out a bit for a variety over the week. My question is, which hotels are better for "volunteer" girl travelers? Also any other recommendations and why would help. Maybe I should ask this in another thread

nobody gives you negative feedback at all (i literally can't remember seeing one disparaging poast in here), we're all very grateful for your decision to share your exploits with us. some of us are just realists and understand that, for several glaringly obvious reasons, writing a book is the single dumbest idea anybody brought up itt

You're 100% wrong imo. The book is a great idea. I don't think Warmdeck would be writing it for a profit or a spot in the NY Times best seller list, but for a nice memento or something that's way more realistic. In that regard, it's a great idea. Who are we to say what's not worth it or disparage him for not posting 100+ stories in this thread? He could end this thread right now and it would still be an all time great thread. I would 100% make the book, sick accomplishment and its something you have forever. My 2 cents
07-04-2014 , 01:34 PM
lol yea, when he's 70 years old he's gonna look back at all this with the same kind of exuberance and pride about it that he has now. because that's how life and maturity works. right.

while you actively encourage him to spend the time and money compiling and publishing everything into a book, you are even forced to acknowledge that it's highly unlikely that it will ever reach any significant level of popularity with the general public. why is this thread and all the praise in it not enough of a memento? you make no sense.

OP created this thread to be the center of attention, and he is now. writing a book will only detract from that.

Ehhhhhhh we can certainly agree to disagree with the book idea. I think it's a cool thing to do/have and a nice life talking point. Wether book or thread form, I support and eagerly await the next post or chapter
