I think it's time for a movie marathon

I try to keep my unwatched DVDs down to a fairly low percentage, but I have over 100.  Another hobby of mine is going to car cruises and car shows. For the first time, the two hobbies merged. Today at a car show, I bought $10 worth of 50/50 raffle tickets. The winner of the raffle took home $670 bucks. The winner of the consolation drawing, pulled from the 50/50 tickets was me. This is what I won:








So I need to watch all of my movies, both watched and unwatched, back to back and I still probably won't be able to eat the whole 40 pounds of kettle corn. 

Actually, I left it at the shop, and we'll work on it at break time next week.

Darn funny anecdote and the picture is indeed worth a thousand words!

You might need to watch most of those 100 movies to get through that monstrous bag!

Actually, the kettle corn is quite good, but daaaaaaamn, that's a lot of popcorn! I'm not sure how long it will keep before getting stale, so it will feed everyone at the shop during breaks for several days if it stays fresh. I think the vendor selling it at the car show just decided to bag up the unsold popcorn as the time for awards was approaching, and rather than throw it away, decided to throw it to the raffle. They actually called 2 other "winners" befor drawing my ticket, but nobody else claimed the "prize." I got a laugh out of it, and at least I didn't go home empty handed.

Unfortunately there won't be a marathon. I'm lucky to watch a couple of movies a week with my schedule.

We put the monster bag on the scale this morning at work and it weighed in at 31 pounds! I decided to bag it into smaller 1-1/2 pound bags and will be sending it out to our car wash locations with soap deliveries this week. Still have about 5 pounds to munch on at the shop. That way, none of it will go to waste.
