The Lodge New Year Resolution
Well 2006 is almost gone an so is the year of the "Lack of Follow Through".2007 will be the year of the Lodge Vegas Trip
2007 will be the Lodge Camping Trip
2007 will be the year that MCP has a date.
2007 will be the year that the Dude has at least two posts a month
My resolution and promise to the Lodge is to make Vegas happen. I begin with what I call. "The Big Idea".
The Big Idea consists of a Lodge Betting Pool.
There are 8 members of the Lodge. I propose a $25 Ante ($200) into
a) A sports gambling site or
b) An online poker site
c) A trip to an indian casino here in WA.
I say we begin a Lodge Vegas pool.
3 days two nights in Vegas according to Expedia in Mid June is about $400 per person. That is about $3200. Even if we could raise half is still makes the trip a reality. We could also find other ways to raise the cash. I've got two tickets that I am willing to donate to the cause.
- San Diego $5 ticket at 9-1 to win the AFC Championship
- Baltimore $10 ticket at 25-1 to win the Super Bowl
We can look into betting for NFL playoffs, NCAA Basketball, and yes even Soccer. Whatever gets us to Vegas.
Rules.
All bets must be a majority vote posted in the Lodge.
All Lodge members must be available to make the trip. No man gets left behind.
This year lets make the ultimate commitment. The Lodge on the road from Las Vegas.
Is everyone in? Im serious about making this happen guys. Its been a long time since we all made a road trip like this. And we did it when we were Earthlinkers at the drop of a hat. Lets ante up at the next Lodge meeting and make this a reality.

I'm in for 25 bones... gambling to get to Vegas? Brilliant! I still say we have Laslo make our bets for us to keep it legal.
Speaking of the next Lodge outing (which is required, more on this later when Jimbo decides to grace us with his presence off the IL)... here are the bowl schedules... poker was discussed, and I'm in. Since apperently January 8th is out (Championship Game, makes sense but Jimbo and The Dude are being asses about it), we could do the following bowls:
Monday, January 1
Time Matchup
2:00 PM #8 USC at #3 Michigan
5:00 PM #9 Boise State at #7 Oklahoma
Wednesday, January 3
Time - Matchup
5:00 PM #11 Notre Dame at #4 LSU
We could also play poker and watch a DVR'd Premier League match from earlier in the day... that would work any night next week. Here is the Soccer Channel Schedule.
I'm always up for a New Years day get together.
I dont think we are going to acomplish much on the blog until after the new year. Nobody is here
this sounds interesting, i will look into this further when my vacation is over. as always, you are commendable thinkers.
I actually have plans on the 1st. But the third works for me
