We're going to start winning again. We're going to win and win and win, and you're going to say "Mr. Trump, we are tired of all of this winning!"
We're losing on trade, we're losing on borders, Iran deal. We're giving them 150 billion and we get NOTHING, NOTHING! If I was negotiating that deal I would have gotten these 4 people before even the negotiation begun. So we're going to start winning, we're going to Make America Great Again. We're going to chop the head off ISIS, build the wall and who's going to pay for it? MEXICO! Thank you, thank you. Go out and vote, or we all wasted our time. We're in this together, it's time to Make America Great Again.

Not in tech world, no.
I suck at math/programming.

But I did won several sport contests ;^)
>>
Was having fun with family at an amusement park and decided to draw a lottery ticket at a stand. Drew some tickets for a few bucks and won a couple grand on the spot. The park didn't have that much money since the lotto started recently, so I took what they did have, which was a few hundred short. It was then or never I figured. Still super glad.

Rolled up to a plush toy catch in front of some girls, threw away a Zip-loc bag full of quarters trying to impress them, and said as I tossed the empty bag, "You sluts will will be the death of me!"

Security then escorted me off the premises and I was told nicely by the old fart to try bringing a flower or starting a conversation first.

Who brings a fucking flower to the bowling alleys?

The next day I just bowl, but I won a life lesson:

Never try to impress wasting all your quarters for some stupid Pinocchio doll. No matter how long that nose is, that lie is beyond your reaching crane. A genuine man will reveal himself to a squad of gals, senpai.
>>
Some triathlons and all swimming carnivals throughout schooling, a few regional and state swimming carnivals for butterfly as well.

But in the last few years? I found 20 dollars someone forgot to take out of the ATM a few months ago, that was nice.

I won a ~2' ninja turtle figure from a video store colouring contest when I was like 7. Pretty sure it was Raphael.

The better lesson would be to try not to impress with something you're too unskilled to do.
>>
>>52996886
I've caught 5 bears, 2 octopi, and 1 dolphin. The dolphin was a cinch! I believe it may have been my turn to rummage up the mass of plush for the next game players since the stocker probably place all the stuffed characters in too unorthodoxly.
>>
>>52990928
two christmases and one easter in a row I have now won two huge trash bags full of trinkets women buy to make their houses look good, (ornaments figurines and candle holders), a lot of cheapish jewelry for women and a lot of free dinners and coffees and a cheese platter for four, two salted and dried lamb back legs (yeah it's food...) a lot of christmas marzipan and boxes of chocolates and some colorful boxer shorts. When I was little and CD players were a huge thing, I won a portable mini CD player in a magazine contest :^) and I used to win the huge exotic (back then) fruit basket at the school brass band raffles
>>

Borderlands 2 Poster
