I used to do this. But on game nights I don't think they have free parking anymore and it fills up early. And good luck getting back on the Mugger Mover after the game.

Still, I used to love playing Poker at G'town on Tigers/Wings Game Days because of guys like this.

Have you ever been mugged? And was it by a masher?

I have a nice Vegas story that I'd like to post someday when I'm not extremely lazy.
Cliffs
- prepaid 5 days for a hotel that I did not check in to in time and they wouldn't give me a refund.
- lost 5k at BJ while blacked out.
- missed 2 flights, puked at the airport and janitor made me clean it up.
- went to dinner at airport with 2 middle aged black woman after we all missed the first flight.
- woke up after dinner without my laptop and the woman I had dinner with we're gone.
- roommates who met me out there thought I was dead when I didn't show up for the flight.

It could've turned out a bit worse but came home down less than a grand after a 7 day trip somehow after repaying for rooms on 2 occasions and new flight. Also, when I finally was on the flight home a guy traded his 1st class seat with me to sit with his wife in coach

Also, miraculously recovered my laptop.

They won't let you park there if your card hasn't been used in 90 days. I learned that the hard way.

What?

I've always just kind of held the card up and kinda waved it at the attendant and they've let me through.

The last time I went there during a Lions game they swiped my card and said there was no activity on it for the past 90 days and I had to pay if I wanted to park there.

Maybe it's different for Tigers/Wings games. Never tried during a Lions game.

Yeah sometimes the parking attendants are HATERS!

One time they wouldn't let me in because I had a baby in the car. Fascists.

Sounds like an overall win to me, considering the black jack binge. You must have ran well in poker.

Up a little (2k or so) in poker but up 4k+ at roulette immediately after my BJ binge.

Still doesn't beat my first trip with a buddy who got his first hooker. She shows up pretty chubby with a glass eye, really? And he spent $400

whenever somebody's hollywooding me, i get angry that they're wasting my time. and they're only doing it so they don't seem weak and dumb for picking the wrong battles but i'm like **** you dude you're weak you're SO WEAK and DUMB. and i think these things really loudly in my head right AT them to spite them and their futile efforts. YOU'RE DUMB, BRO. and then i just keep repeating "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE" until they finally act.
