Good Riddance to 'Clave Raffles

Having been accused in another thread of bringing a
$5 item to a $20 raffle I must protest. In the first
place it was a $10 raffle and this is what I brought:

I carry one in my vest and I thought it was a practical,
useful raffle gift.

At any rate, I think raffles are a bad idea, someone is
always gonna feel like they got screwed, so why bother ?

If you think a first aid kit is a cheap, cheesy raffle
gift how about golf balls ? No, not a box of 12 new Nikes,
not even a sleeve of 3 new Titleists, two cut-up, beat-up,
muddy, unmatched range balls found in somebody's backyard
on a North Cackalacky golf course. Now *that's* cheap.

Anyway, like the Subject says, good riddance to raffles.

I think your gift was a great one, Ken. It wasn't ME that was
complaining about it. I was more than willing to get your gift
instead of the one I got. But it *was* me who took the heat because
of your gift. I tried to trade with him, but he said no.

Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

Ouch, that really hurts coming from a non-millionaire
by 65 slacker who blew off his "opportunities". ;-)

I could say "Another cheap shot from a cheap bastid", but I won't.

Good thing you won't, because it wasn't a cheap shot it
was an accurate depiction of the way you dismissed many
of us here for not marrying as well as yourself. Although,
as for myself, I did damn near as well as you did on that
score.

Now, is my stay at Lakewood Camps on you or was that just
another April Fool's joke ?

What the hell does my "marrying well" have to do with it. After my
divorce I moved into a furnished room w/bath rented out by a kind old
lady. I went from Chief's Quarters in Westminster to Seaman's
Quarters in one big afternoon. When Joanne and I finally started to
live together it was in a 3 room apartment in Acton. Again, not
exactly Chief's Quarters. When we finally moved to our own home and
married, we both brought equal wealth to the deal. My intentions in
marrying her had nothing to do with her earning power, which, in those
days, wasn't much more than mine. If you met her, you'd know within
five minutes of meeting her why I fell in love with her and married
her.

You got three days on me, picked your time, and bring Kipper. I'll
bring Henry. But, I don't want any **** from you about nymphing!

Your "marrying well" has given you more income than you
could have ever realized on your own and an exaggerated
sense of how easy it is for all the rest of us to be as
wealthy as yourself. And you lord it over us in a fashion
that has been described as unseemly.

That's very generous of you, thanks. By my calculation me
and Kipper at Lakewood would cost $175/day. I just may
take you up on that one of these years.

If I were you I'd take the cash.
