So You Think You Have Bad Luck?

You should have mine. A few years ago I was at a local bar in Dallas. I still go there and they have Inernet trivia and Miller Lite.

Well on this occasion I had a couple times two of those Miller Lites in me and was playing trivia..I started talking to this guy at the bar. He was playing trivia and I suggested we put a wager of a cold one on the next game.

He promptly trounced my ass and I ordered a round. I got to talking to the guy and found out two things interesting. His name was Chris Nash and he was on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' and he won two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Of all the guys to challenge, I chose this guy..Good Grief..

Chris is still my friend and is the smartest guy I have ever met. Need proof..Check out his screen shot from Millionaire..

Good story. What is equally as crazy for me was when I was at UT and got home from class one day and turned Jeopardy on. What did I see? My professor, Jim Hankinson, on Jeopardy!!!!! He told nobody he was going to be on it. He missed the Final Jeopardy question and barely lost. Smart guy.

Not the same thing but I had a buddy of mine go missing a few years back. Didn't hear from him but about a year or two later he shows up at one of the watering holes I support. Turns out he had won two million dollars in the lottery. No one ever knew and he wanted it that way. I did owe him $20 bucks on a bet and he forgave that. BFD..

Oh, and Chris just got a job teaching tech classes in Austin. Road trip!
