While we were at Disney, we found that the customer service was AWESOME, and all the Disney employees were all very helpful (oh, Svetlana).  During our first full day in Florida, I wanted to test just how professional the Disney staff was.

While we were walking around Magic Kingdom, every once in a while, we would see some little girl running around wearing a little princess dress.  The four of us thought it was kind of ridiculous, cuz there’s pretty much no other appropriate time when a kid could wear that dress (Halloween…The Prom…?) outside of Disney World.  We ended up finding the store in Disney where they sell the dresses, and that’s where I came up with this bet.  It can only be described as being absolutely MAGICAL.

After the weak bets from both of us, I wanted to think of something original for the next bet. A couple days after the cake bet, Samm, myself, and a couple of our friends, Joe and Joe, booked a trip to Disney World in sunny Orlando, Florida. We dubbed the name of the trip as “The Floridays” and over the next few weeks you’ll be seeing bets from the trip as we tried to do one each day.

Anyway, back to this bet. There wasn’t really a time and place over the next couple months where I felt a 10DB would be appropriate until the day we left for Florida. As we waited in the Winnipeg Airport to board our plane, a song popped into my head. “I’m leaving on a jet plane, I don’t know when I’ll be back again”. I told Samm that I’m going to bet him to sing the verse and chorus of that song in the middle of the hall filled with vacationers, business people, and probably International Businessmen! HOWEVER, he made a LAME excuse about not knowing the words to the song… c’mon… I think he was just a bit stage-fright. So whatever, I told him that I would get him back later. As we arrived in Florida, we settled into our hotel and decided to go get some food. We passed a TGIFriday’s on the way to the resort and decided that it would be a good place to eat. After giving the waitress our orders, we were just chatting then out of nowhere another song popped into my head and then the idea of the next bet was born!

Sorry for being tardy on the bet this week.  I was actually going to post these bets last week but I had to re-think it a bit.  Samm and I weren’t sure if we wanted to post these weak-sauce bets.  I’ll explain the reasoning behind it.  One of our 10DB rules states that we can’t make bets that may cause or potentally cause the betee to get arrested.  Now this may seem pretty extreme but you never know how people are going to react nowadays.  So after a couple of these types of bets we figured that it’s probably a good idea to not make bets involving touching people, especially strangers.  Besides, the bets usually don’t end up how we envision it anyway, just like these ones…

Alright, I know… I’ve been a slacker.  I’m taking a class on Monday nights and by the time I get home I’m pretty wiped.  I usually just veg and forget about putting up a retro 10DB.  I would update when I get home from work today but I’ll be going out to watch the Jabbawockeez live!  I’ll try to upload something afterwards.

later!
