I haven\u2019t had so much fun since two weeks ago.  Honestly, people wonder why I do this stuff.  I can\u2019t say it enough.  It\u2019s a real pleasure getting to meet so many new people each class and seeing former students come back.  I just love it!  It\u2019s almost like Thanksgiving without worrying what you have to buy for Christmas (except Pitboss made us have ribs every night). <\/p>\n<p>\tSeeing Tommy C again and his entire family, Tom\/Claudia \u2013 former Team BoneCrushers, all of the new Team BoneCrushers, meeting all of the other students, it\u2019s just unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>\tHotel $150<br \/>\n\tAirfare $300<br \/>\n\tBuy-in at the table $1,000<br \/>\n\tWatching Dom at the table say, \u201cGet that fu*king field bet out of my way as he rolls 39 number\u201d PRICELESS!!!!<\/p>\n<p>\tI was laughing so hard on Saturday that I had to pee but Midnight wouldn\u2019t let me go because I would have lost my share of the slot winning if we hit the jackpot (we were due to win, I just know it and I wanted to SPIN the WHEEL).<\/p>\n<p>\tIt was even funnier when Midnight asked for a bagel at Sonic, yes, in Tunica.  Although, it was sad when he ran over that turtle.<\/p>\n<p>\tI\u2019ll remember\u2026<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tGetting lost all three days when driving from Tunica to Memphis saying that Dom was going to yell at us if we didn\u2019t get there on time.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tGetting lost THREE DIFFERENT WAYS in three days going from Tunica to Memphis (how is that possible?)<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tListening to Midnight tell Pitboss, after he got lost on the first day, I\u2019ll drive tomorrow and show you how to go.  He got lost too, twice.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tHaving the entire table cash out when the boxman told us we couldn\u2019t cross the C&amp;E line when throwing the dice (which is about 3 inches from where we were standing).<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tRooming with Goldfinger (I won\u2019t go there now).<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tWondering how much weight I could put on after eating ribs for dinner 4 consecutive nights.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tYelling \u2018Pull the Shaft\u2019 when playing slots.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tYelling when we won 4 coins (it cost us 5).<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tWatching Rock, Paper, Scissor with Nick, Dom, Pit and Midnight as to who will bet our slot winnings.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tCheering like a lunatic when Nick hit two hardways and tripled our slot winnings.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tWatching Pitboss twerking and having the floor supervisor saying \u2018Yeah Baby, come on over\u2019<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tGetting dinner comped the next night after the floor supervisor recognized Pitboss.<br \/>\n\t&#8211;\tCracking up laughing with tears during the class when Dom wanted us to find something that makes us happy<br \/>\n\t&#8211;       Hearing the classic line if you locked your wife and your dog in the trunk of the car for an hour, who would be happy to see you?  (I&#8217;m getting a dog)<\/p>\n<p>\tBest of all, being with friends and students that loves this as much as I do.<\/p>\n<p>\tI WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU!!!!!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> TommyC on May 1, 2014, 12:44 pm<\/p>\n<div>Laughing from the time you get up until the time you lay down is very tiresome.

I was a passenger in a car with the West Coast driver (Pit Boss), and an East Coast driver (midnight). They don&#8217;t drive like we do here in Colorado. We made U-turns on one-way streets.<br \/>\n\tWe exited to the right from the third lane left. We made a U-turn in the median for a damn turtle.<br \/>\n\tWe honked the horn for a solid block at a poor driver. We turned on the GPS but started driving before it gave us directions. We found the storage yard right name wrong address. We finally found the hotel but then we went looking for a Starbucks and then had to find the hotel again.<\/p>\n<p>\tAll in all it was a great week.
