on a cup of coffee...
I don't even know where to begin this story because frankly, it fits the tale of an upcoming Lindsay Lohan film...but I shall continue it anyways.
So there I was standing in line awaiting my step up for java (or my java order rather) and my prof (who will remain nameless) came up behind me and started small talk. for this I thank her because we both 'know' eachother, but conversation could have been tremendously awkward. (ie...' so, it's ugh...sunny out' you know, that crap).
I digress through examples and brackets, but I will continue.
The topic of the 'roll up the rim to win' comes up and we began to discuss eachothers odds. They were as follows:
Rob 7 wins 7 losses (six coffees, one muffin)
Prof 0 wins 20attempts (her estimate)
I reluctantly gave her my tips of sticking to a standard size (usually extra large) as those cups sell the least (really, no increased odds, but this is how my non-mathematical mind works), and finally told her that it might just be me being lucky.
Needless to say, that day my coffee was a loser (and her's won)
And I have been losing ever since...
Might this be a lesson for me not to spread my competitive spirit by comparing odds? or really having the 'horseshoe-up-my-ass' finally pass?
I guess I will never know, but the story needed to be shared before it was known as Lindsay Lohan's new movie.

im a big fan of amanda bynes now...she's the man!
i hate roll of the rim this year. the odds are so against me and it ruins my life every time.
ps: where are you ?
Up until last week I don't think I'd paid for a coffee since roll up the rim started, I just kept winning one after another.
Of course I felt the need to brag about my luck, and strangely it didn't seem to jinx it . . . until recently.
I haven't won in over a week, and the excitement with rolling up my rim is slowly dying.
ps. I'd buy people coffees and they'd even win
i bet you end up getting a 92 in the course and that trumps any free coffee, all because you broke her bad luck run.
did you know theres a band called superchunk? who knew
and besides have you seen the bbq...its the uggliest grill on the market.
yeah i judge grills whats it to ya, wanna fight about it.
