IDBillzFan Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Screw that, it's an awesome social experiment. Nelly should take it on tour. Football stadiums, political rallies, everything. Who causes the most violence for a dollar? Men or women? Democrats or Republicans? Cityfolk or rurals? Then film it, send it to Fox, and let America fall apart a little more. Or just watch "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Even in 1963, there was more truth than fiction. We're a nation of idiots that has no problem digging deep into the depths of our idiocy for the sake of a single dollar bill.

apuszczalowski Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I would have to think his waitress or waiter was thrilled with a thousand dollar tip and considers it the best night she or he has ever worked. Depends onhow much of an @sshole he was as a customer. Someone who is willing to leave $1,000 in $1 as a tip seems to me to be the kind of cocky a-hole who would make you do everything they could think of to earn any kind of tip. Plus if this is a bar/restaurant/club where they are used to celebrities frequenting, having a $1,000 tip is probably not that uncommon. Also, thats only 20% if they spent $5,000 which seems kind of small for a gather of celebrities.
IDBillzFan Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Also, thats only 20% if they spent $5,000 which seems kind of small for a gather of celebrities. Plus, they probably lowered the tip by adjusting the total pre-tax and only accounting for what the actual price for a a bottle of wine is versus how much the restaurant marks it up, so their tip was probably more like 10%, which is just a bitchslap to any food service employee.

If you have ever spent any time around celebrities, you would know, without question, that 99% of the time the general public and average joe (collectively) is acting 10x more stupid, embarrassing, immature and obnoxious than that celebrity.

Really? Or is it more likely that around a celebrity, your willing to put up with more crap because they are a celebrity and you know they have money which they might give some to you. How many times do you here about celebrities trashing a hotel room, and then just throwing the hotel a wad of cash to cover it. The average person does that and they are being arrested or banned from the hotel. Celebrities get away with it because they are famous and have money. You put up with alot less when you know that person is not going to leave a huge tip

You put up with alot less when you know that person is not going to leave a huge tip If you're an "average joe" and you're standing around waiting for a celebrity to throw a bunch of singles around, or even if you happen to just be there by chance and see it, and you dive in for the chance with 100 other idiots to scrap up a couple free singles into your greedy little mitts, you're a bigger idjit and embarrassment to the race than the idjit that threw it. I have heard about celebrities trashing hotel rooms and throwing money at it, oh, maybe 35 times in my life. Between sports stars, actors, musicians, politicians, and other celebrities every single year that comes out to about, oh, a 1-100,000 chance he or she will do that. And far, far, far less than an average drunk joe will do it and not throw money at it.
theNose76 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Interesting article from the local press here. I have not been watching the news because frankly I don't care, but the article was quite intriguing: http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/200...s/12722196.html
DPR4444 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Interesting article from the local press here. I have not been watching the news because frankly I don't care, but the article was quite intriguing: http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/200...s/12722196.html "Jones had tossed hundreds of $1 bills on the stripper stage, an action known in street slang as "making it rain." When one of the strippers started grabbing the money without Jones' permission, he got angry, grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the stage, Susnar said. That's when security guard Aaron Cudworth, a mixed-martial artist with professional fighting experience, intervened and stopped the assault, he said. "At that point, Pacman said, 'I'm going to kill you,'" Susnar said. A melee ensued as Cudworth scuffled with Jones and members of his entourage, Susnar said. Order was eventually restored, and everyone was moved outside. That's when the gunman opened fire toward the front door of the club, hitting Cudworth, security guard Tom Urbanski and a female customer. "He goes out, retrieves a gun, then shoots two security guards, pretty much making good on the threat made by Pacman Jones," Susnar said. Cudworth, who was shot in the chest and arm, was released from University Medical Center on Tuesday. Urbanski remained at UMC in critical condition. He was expected to live, but a bullet severed his spine and paralyzed him below the waist, his father said." unbelievable.
inkman Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Doesn't sound like Jeff Fisher will have to make any desicions concerning Pacman's future. A judge will do that for him. Then again, he'll probably be acquitted like every other NFL thug.

It's almost like the old saying: "You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl." See Britney Spears for the female version of this syndrome.
millbank Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 More Pacman, $81000 topless dancer promoter took a trash bag full of NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones' cash and fled the Minxx strip club early Monday, leading to a brawl and shooting that injured three people, one critically, according to a search warrant obtained Wednesday by the Review-Journal. The search warrant, issued Monday in District Court, was for Chris Mitchell's room at the Silverton casino and hotel. Mitchell, who has been interviewed by police, had promoted a four-day event at Minxx for the NBA All-Star weekend. He had brought in dancers from his Houston-based strip club, Harlem Knights, to perform at the 4636 Wynn Road venue, near Tropicana Avenue and Valley View Boulevard. Las Vegas police recovered more than $81,000 in cash from Mitchell's room that investigators believe belonged to Jones, a 23-year-old cornerback for the Tennessee Titans. They also recovered a brown cloth bag and two Breitling watches, but it was not clear who owned those items.
Phlegm Alley Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 When you think of the biggest "thugs" in the NFL, who do you think of? I think of "Pacman" Jones and Chris Henry. It is amazing that they both went to the same college and were able to influence each other.

It is amazing that they both went to the same college and were able to influence each other. Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains growin' like a breeze. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads. All my mem'ries gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the mornin' hours, she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Take me home (down) country roads Take me home (down) country roads. I completely forgot about that. And on a way lesser scale, Randy Moss, Jason Williams, Jerry West, and that kid from deliverance. Something is wrong in the water down there.
cantankerous Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 If the Titans had any class at all, they'd cut Jones and send him packing. A piece of sh-t like him doesn't deserve another chance.
Wacka Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Or the final scene of "The Magic Christian".... "...If you want it, here it is, come and get it...."
