Won a hockey pool but haven't been paid yet... - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

CP, help me get...revenge?

I need some good ideas to get at the guy who has my money, or the guy who collected it and spent it and now doesn't have it to give to me, whichever you prefer.

I was so far ahead in the pool he could have given me the money with two months left in the season. Yet here we are almost in the finals and I still don't have the money. Now, it's no huge amount of money, I could care less. But I'd really like to start giving it to him. I can't let his wife know though, he'll be on the s*** list fast and I'd have the money the next day and I'd like to stretch it out for as long as I can.

I'm not much of a practical prankster so I'm looking for some good ideas.

What else do you need to know to help me?

Kill his cat.

He doesn't have any pets.

Welching on a hockey pool is an indictable offense in Canada. Phone the police.

Well that's not really true. Welching is bad, but collecting the money and then spending it is pretty much like stealing from everyone in the pool. Make sure all the pool losers know this has happened and get them to pester him for their money back and have them give it to you in a lavish ceremony that he is not invited to.

Ha!

I was thinking more along the lines of wrapping up a dead fish and putting it on his front step or toilet papering his company truck. Stuff like that.

1. Buy some of those rainbow stickers
2. get him really drunk and keep him up late on a work night (cue joke by fotze)
3. put stickers (tidily) on his truck. One on each window, two on each bumper

He'll have no time to peel them off before work the next day and be forced to show up at work like that.

How much are we talking about? $200 ain't the end of the world. $3000 requires you to send out Vinny to break some knee caps.

Eddie Bronze · 05-14-2007, 10:10 PM

I agree but this falls into the "ain't the end of the world" category.

Which is why I'm looking for something more harmless.

Rainbow stickers, that's a good one but not quite gay enough.

i didnt know there was anything gayer than a truck covered in rainbow stickers

The only problem with that is he could just blame it on "the kids", he's an uncle of many! Although the more I think of it, the more likely I am to end up trying it.

Incinerator · 05-14-2007, 10:28 PM

Get him drunk to the point he passes out for the night.

PM troutman and have him draft up, and mail a serious sounding legal mumble-jumble letter that basically says he is being sued by (insert someone unknown to him) for something very serious that happened on said night.

Sit back & watch him freak out.

4X4 · 05-14-2007, 10:32 PM

I've been meaning to look for some magnetic rainbow stickers so that I can freak out some of my friends (and family) by putting them on painted areas.

Oh man... I've been plotting this for years. One buddy of mine would just lose it. And the best part is that he's pretty unobservant and it'd likely be there for at least a few days before he'd notice.

TheyCallMeBruce · 05-14-2007, 10:33 PM

Drug him so he passes out. Give him a tattoo that says "I'm horny for men"

Sylvanfan · 05-14-2007, 10:35 PM

Put posters of him up all over his neighbourhood singling him out as a welcher. Make a big sign at your next break that looks like a realtors sign and paint his name and phone number on it, and put that he's a Welcher and encourage strangers to phone his house and call him a welcher. Than plant it on his front lawn on a Saturday morning. Oh, and spend $6 on a bag of concrete and dig a hole and plant the sign in the concrete like 12 hours before so it won't be easy to move for him.

Post some ads on Craigslist in the M4M section? Put his house up for sale on Craigslist for a ridiculously low price?

Paint "I Love Man Sex" on his truck.

SoulOfTheFlame · 05-15-2007, 05:05 AM

I also never got paid... In future i'll be using a website which holds the money in escrow from pool's beginning to end.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have something to do with the fact I'm running away with the playoff pool as well. I heard I wouldn't be invited back next year!

I had something similar happen to me in 2004. I recall after game 6 that for me to lose; Iginla would have to get 13 points without Gelinas or Conroy getting any. I sent out the obligitory "I hope I lose" email. The series ended 3 days before payday, and when I went to collect from our pool admin, he told me I would have to wait until payday. Jerk.

My suggestion; the fake bullet holes stickers on his vehicle.
