"a stuffed banana with dreadlocks" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life!!

How does the saying go about a fool and his money...

 

[FLIPPY]

His life savings were $2,600.....? Sounds like a really short life... Besides, the dude doesn't look like the sharpest tool in the shed.... He should've just gone out and purchased an XBox....

I guess most of his earnings were spent on tats.....

Wait, a carnival game that's rigged... No Way!!!! I always thought those things were all ligit....


I p/o'd a carny guy at the Back to the Beach festival when I shot out the red star with the automatic bb gun... I won a big, made in china, Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal...I would've prefered a stuffed bannana with dreads though....

I'm just glad he had a good time

Frankly, I'm amazed it got that high.

“For once in my life I happened to become that sucker,” said Gribbohm. “It was foolish for putting up my life savings.”

Why in the world would you go public with a story like that??

Why not buy the Kinect or whatever?

Why not buy the Kinect or whatever?

Because the game only costs $5. Duh.

Is it worse that he was conned out of the money or that he has apparently procreated (as made evident by the video of him pushing a kid in stroller)?

He must've convinced some chick to let him hide the banana.
