    I believe almost all married men would understand what I'm going through, the toughest question that reporter asked me was: " choice of a Jets win sat. or winning trip to Hawaii"
    answer: Jets Win of course....wife didn't like that!!

    ..should be hitting 4000 soon...thx guys/girls....

    I am going to vote to get someone else to Hawaii because they beg on the internet?

    Fuck that, I am going to send 50 cents to unicef so a starving kid can get a PBJ.

    Is there some way to game that? Not that I think we should, just wondering if she did.
    Rick was up by 100 last night and is down by 13 now.

    If everyone in her friends list just votes once per day she's golden.

    I didn't check but I'm assuming she has at least a hundred friends.


    Matt Higgins Jets VP tweeted on his behalf. I think most Jet fans are jealous assholes and would rather not help him. lol

    I don't want to rain on your parade, but are you sure you want to win this? Trips are terrible prizes to win. They list the ARV at 10K! That means you could have to pay over 4K in taxes.

    For 4K you could easily plan you own trip to the PB:
    Flights from EWR are ~600
    rooms at a 3 star (the rules don't even say where they are putting you up, could be a shithole). about ~90 a night per room
    Tix to the PB are ~120
    Total = 600x4 + 90x2x5 + 120x4 + 750(cash they are giving you) = $4500

    You could save some money by not getting 2 hotel rooms. It sounds like your wife really wants Hawaii, do you really want to schlep along 2 other people? Save money by only you and her going and stay for a whole week and get a really nice hotel with an ocean view. Still come in under your tax burden. Plus you wouldn't have to do their community activities and media interviews.

    Voting for you every day rickjet.
    Don't want to violate forum rules by revealing any personal info, so I'll have to let you guess who I am with this: you loved the speech my mother gave at graduation.

    Not yet; I'm flying back tomorrow. If (fingers crossed) there are no significant delays I'll be able to watch the game from the comfort of my own dorm.
