This sounds like a great idea but it just seems too easy bull**** & lie over a computer screen especially when money is involved. Very interested to see how it turns out...
then the person that lies has to live with there own sorry *** for the rest of theyre life no sweat off our backs. its like giving a hobo a quarter, you did your good deed but the hobo will remain a hobo. when is the quit date again?

ill give up drinking with yall and throw in $5 but win or lose i dont want any of it back, my will be more like a donation and a little reminder when i pick up that bottle. Just something to hang out in the back of my mind to help me out and then some money in the pocket of the winner. hows that sound?

Helping the needy is different then winning a contest. Its not my money so I don't care. it just sounds like a surefire way of losing your $20

As I said, very interested on the outcome.

Quit date of November 1st, so that gives us 2 weeks to prepare.....

ebinz, think what you want...I obviously considered that possibility, and am even considering making it $10 for just that reason...at a very minimum, I need to cap the total amount to be one, as the more money there is the less likely this will work at all. As of right now, I would like to leave it at $20 and only take the first 10 people.....we'll figure it out.

I know myself, and I know I am not a cheater nor am I a thief. If I break, I WILL not bull**** for a hundred bucks or so. It's simply not worth it. Unfortunately, I don't know how much integrity everybody else who might want to participate has. If you wanna join this and then cheat, I can't stop you...I can only hope that you are all better men than that...

I think you're right. A lower ante should increase the number of players and reduce the chances of fakery toward the end (less $ to lose).

Hmm...IDK, if I quit, what the hell am I going to do with my other hand when I drink coffee?!

You should make it November 2, my birthday bitches, or November 4, election day.

I want in, I'm just scared of what might happen...[]

Great idea, and the goal is worth what ever it takes to get there.

Indeed he does...which is also when I would be most likely to light up.

For real though, I have ONE person officially in. If you want in, PM me, and once I get a head count, I will PM everybody who's in to arrange the fine details of the competition.
