A fun game - NOW with prizes

[Vegan Ray]

My boy Ben searches like a hungry squirrel to find paper currency with his PDGA number (or those of friends or famous players) contained in the serial number. I extend the invitation to DGCR readers. The challenge is to post a pic of a US Federal Reserve Note (any denonination; I guess I would accept a United States Note or a silver or gold certificate, as well) in frame with your PDGA card, both of which must display the same number. Your PDGA number must be perfectly duplicated somewhere within the serial number of the bill (not in a different order or with intervening digits). If you whine enough (zenbot), I might even accept other extremely convincing proof of your PDGA #.If I accept your evidence as valid, I will send you a delicious prize. Y'all have at it, and happy hunting!

Sorry, Canadian & other foreign currency need not apply.

[OJnBasquits]

convincing proof of prize...please!

[Vegan Ray]

I make the rules here, bub. You come up with the goods or, if you don't trust my sincerity, then bugger off.

[OJnBasquits]

^weaksauce.

5 digit pdga...not gonna happen. 2-3 ok. 4 maybe

DEAD THREAD. GRATS!

[XCyclone]

This sounds like a really fun game. I like the part where you don't know what you would win after bothering to do something this boring.

Joke's on you. I'm not PDGA, suckafool!

[JSurmann]

Who carries cash anymore? I haven't touched any in at least 2 weeks.

[solomon.trenton]

what if i find my sons. do i still win?

[Vegan Ray]

what if i find my sons. do i still win?

Yes.

And like I said before, if you trust my sincerity, you will be rewarded handsomely. If not, feel free to call me almost-funny names & not play.

[gottafixit]

What if one could find it in a credit card so the cash less man can play?

[Vegan Ray]

^weaksauce.

DEAD THREAD. GRATS!

You're an idiot. I have two ones and a twenty with my 5-digit number on 'em. A lot of bills pass through folks' hands on a daily basis.

[Vegan Ray]

What if one could fine it in a credit card so the cash less man can play?

Nevah.

[Pink Elephant]

Sorry, Canadian & other foreign currency need not apply.

You're a jerk.

[OJnBasquits]

I have two ones and a twenty with my 5-digit number on 'em.

...says the forum spammer.
picture of the frame?

[AdamH]

I love the idea, but I'm gonna go crazy until I find one with my number :eek:

[sidewinding]

The first dollar I pulled out of my wallet hit the first three numbers of my PDGA number. I can't wait to get home and raid the kid's piggy banks so I can win a tasty prize from a disc golf legend.

[jkdisc]

can i use a pdga # from the fffishy pond?

[solomon.trenton]

what if i find my DGCR number?

[gcr_russell]

I manage a restaurant and Immediately searched through all our registers and cash not currently on the floor. I got within two numbers once. I'm not going to be able to rest now until I have it, great.

[solomon.trenton]

what if i find my DGCR number?

[mobster]

my wife: "honey, why did you take out $100 in ones from the bank?"
me: "....disc golf?"

[humchris85]

Who carries cash anymore? I haven't touched any in at least 2 weeks.

I carry nothing but cash. Why do you alow yourself to be part of the system like that man?:p

But being serious now this sounds like fun. I'm going to serch through all the cash in my house. It's going to be hard though. Would you except my Par Infinity #?

[bcr123psu]

I carry nothing but cash.

^^ this = bad idea

[humchris85]

^^ this = bad idea

Only for city folk.:p

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

what if i find my DGCR number?

I second this idea

[zud00]

Wish I would have know about this before I deposited the big wad of cash I got from selling my truck, lol.

[gcr_russell]

I will be sorely disappointed if someone beats me to this. I looked through probably 500 bills this afternoon, and will continue to look everyday at work until it finally happens.

[craftsman]

No cash? I hate these golfers.
/group decides to play skins, one dude;"can you spot me, I can stop at the ATM"
later at the ATM- " oh man, I swear I had twenty bucks in there"

/group member hits ace; five dollars buster! " sweet shot- I owe you one"

[atl scott]

I looked through almost 200 bills today and the closest I got was my first 3 numbers. How long did it take you to find your first VR?

[tstack10]

Imma look for dgcr number if I ever get cash again.

[atl scott]

I'm dgcr #217. That should make things much easier...

[KMaC]

I'm dgcr #217. That should make things much easier...

Too bad we're dealing with PDGA numbers here...

[TalbotTrojan]

Some of the old guys I play with on occasion that have PDGA numbers in the hundreds have a way unfair advantage on this one.

[Vegan Ray]

No DGCR #, no ZIP code, no IQ, PDGA # only. Old timers with low #s do, indeed, play at an advantage (a deserved one). The exercise would be trivial for my friend Cap'n Snap (PDGA #60).

Ben found my first one (the 20) after about 3 years of looking & I found the two singles within a couple of weeks of each other after poker games about 18 months ago.

[atl scott]

No winners yet but I did find my 5 numbers consecutively and out of order on 3 dollars as well as 1 serial number that contained only numbers from my PDGA#!

http://h.imagehost.org/t/0943/dollars2.jpg (http://h.imagehost.org/view/0943/dollars2)

[gottafixit]

^^ found basically the same thing just on a $20

[TrippinBill]

I going to do this. I have somewhat of an advantage. :D

[Vegan Ray]

I hope you find one, TrippinBill. What's your #?

OJnBasquits or XCyclone will be very sad if you choose to reveal your prize & they realize that they have been disqualified for being whiny, entitled adolescents.

[billnchristy]

43222 is what his DGCR profile says.

[Vegan Ray]

Sounds not like an advantage to me. More power to him, though.

[billnchristy]

nevermind, read it.

[discgolfne1]

How's this. The first 4 numbers... and only 34 numbers off... from repeating twice in a row!

[Vegan Ray]

Winner! And I save shipping on the prize delivery. ;)

[discgolfne1]

Woo Hoo for both of us.

[Dfwdscglfr]

lucky

[billnchristy]

Tell em what he won Bob...

[John Rock]

Tell em what he won Bob...

"Table Candles".

[Vegan Ray]

I'll leave that up to Bryan, if he chooses. The air of mystery makes the game more fun, and helps to identify douchey jerkstores who require immediate disqualification.

You gonna be at glow tonight??

[discgolfne1]

I plan on it. Should be a cool evening for a change.

Oh no, now everyone will think it was fixed... like the $64,000 question.

[Vegan Ray]

Nah, there are prizes available for more winners. (And if so, f 'em.) I believe you will like yours, I just selected a beauty out of my ancient-skool stash…

[OJnBasquits]

Fixed...Veggies gonna blow u a kiss! wow, what an air of mystery surprise.

glad i passed...

[Vegan Ray]

glad i passed that condom that was left inside me last night...

FIXED

**Please tune in to The Landfill to continue this game. Mods, please do the courtesy of leaving a "MOVED" link.**

[XCyclone]

OJnBasquits or XCyclone will be very sad if you choose to reveal your prize & they realize that they have been disqualified for being whiny, entitled adolescents.

I'll take a pass on your glideless Vibram rubber junk.

[OJnBasquits]

Veggie u can save the condom jokes for wine night with your "pals".

[Vegan Ray]

"Vibram rubber junk" in my "ancient-skool stash". That would be quite a trick.

I wish I had more tolerance for stupid people; its absolute absence is quite a character flaw for me.

[podunk pete]

Veegs....thanks for posting up the game, and it is really cool of you to offer prizes out of your own pocket......to bad a couple Dbags have to ruin it....looking forward to seeing you tear them up in the landfill......Thuderstor and Breakfast food...I hope you have your big boy underoos on, because you may not know what you are getting into...just sayin

[Vegan Ray]

I'm gonna attempt to keep it on the DL to keep this thread above ground. If I fail, though…

[OJnBasquits]

If I fail, though more words will be typed…
:popcorn:

ty VEGGIE!

GL all...right?:confused:

[XCyclone]

That's "glideless Vibram rubber junk". And I doubt any disc from your "ancient-school (oops, that's skool) stash" is worth the effort. Your tolerance for stupid people seems to be quite great if you like to reward them for doing pointless tasks.

[Pink Elephant]

If the prize was the last shirt he ate meat in, I'd prob look through some bills. (If I was American)

[billnchristy]

Wow, I don't even like Ray that much but you two make me want to buy him lunch and sing campfire songs with him.

(Not the Canuckistani)

[Vegan Ray]

Wow, I don't even like Ray that much

:(:(

[XCyclone]

LOL.

CALLING FRANK D...CALLING FRANK D.......

[StevenDodge]

I'll take a pass on your glideless Vibram rubber junk.

I've got no problem with you taking a pass, really. I just wanted to go ahead and address the three adjectives you chose to use.

Glideless - I'd have to say I more or less agree with you on this one. The three discs Vibram has on the market so far are driving putters. IMO, I would rather have a disc slow down fast and give me a consistent distance rather than a glidey mid-range that doesn't know when to stop - especially if there is wind which makes the glidey discs even less predictable.

Vibram - Assuming you are talking about the V.P., the Ridge and the Summit, you nailed it on this adjective. Well done.

Rubber - Again assuming you are talking about Vibram, then yes, you again nailed it on the head. Vibram is the only disc manufacturer using the rubber based X-Link compound. Just like shoe soles and tires, rubber offers a superior combination of grip and durability (imagine trying to climb a mountain with shoe soles made of plastic, yikes!)

Regarding the use of the word junk, one man's junk is another man's treasure. I'd suggest at least giving them a try.

Folks are probably going to wonder if we planned this and you are playing the role of foil. Let me assure everyone, this was not a setup, unlike these durability tests. They were definitely setup. Enjoy.

[Vegan Ray]

Good call, pp. Some of his DGR dag munching tween-crabs are crawling off & ever-so-slightly annoying the salt-of-the-earth villagers of DGCR. Some kerosene is the only useful remedy.

[Vegan Ray]

I like guerilla marketing…

If he doesn't want the Vibram stuff I will gladly take it. Steve I enjoyed your demo at Phenix. It shed some light on what you are doing up there with the "rubber junk."

[Vegan Ray]

OK cg, I'll bite. You win "the game" & a piece of glideless rubber one-man's-junk will be coming your way. I see a very purty candidate on my wall right above my monitors…

[XCyclone]

Lets see a pic of this awsome collector's bounty from your "old-skool" stash that you're sending.

You gotta be crazy if you think I'll click on that link. I'm happy to be virus-free, thanks. But it's flattering that you've thought about me at length.

[Vegan Ray]

I am, indeed, crazy, and if you think you're virus-free, you're gonna be unpleasantly surprised when that Haitian boy finally tracks you down to break the news.

[Midnightbiker]

Who carries cash anymore? I haven't touched any in at least 2 weeks.

I only use cash. I don't even use an ATM card anymore. I had some bank problems, and that is all I can say, so I use cash 98% of them time.

[Vegan Ray]

My preferred pimp/meth dealer only takes ca$h & Diners Club, so ca$h it is.

[Midnightbiker]

Once you have had your bank account wiped out by an outside sourse, you will only carry cash.

[Vegan Ray]

ouch

[humchris85]

Once you have had your bank account wiped out by an outside sourse, you will only carry cash.

I'm with you midnight, I've had some problems with the banks so I only use them when I need to make payments for rent, bills, etc... Banks suck!

[humchris85]

P.S. VeganRay the contest is cool, I've been serching bills, haven't found one yet, but the serch goes on.

[Vegan Ray]

Our first winner, discgolfne1, was thrilled with his prize, but has apparently exercised his right not to post a pic of it. Evidence of a nefarious plot to waste DGR morons' time sifting through note after note, or a shrewd decision to increase the allure of the game?

Many more 'prizes' are just waiting to be awarded; the game goes on…

Steve, thanks for the glideless Vibram rubber junk I was given as a CTP at worlds last week. :thmbup::hfive:

Oh, and can ne1 lone me a doller?

[shinypickle]

This stinks, I don't even have a PDGA #.:thmbdown:

[discgolfne1]

I got my prize from Vegan Ray. :clap: For those that were wondering, it was an Apple in very nice condition. Ray knows that I like to challenge myself on the golf course by playing with a single lid from time to time. It was a carefully thought out prize...Thank you Ray. :thmbup:

[atl scott]

awesome prize!

[billnchristy]

Heeeeelll yeah nice prize.

[discgolfne1]

Yeah, but is going on the wall. I have other lids for golf.

[ERicJ]

And here I thought this was all just a scam for Ray to get people's PDGA passwords (listed on their membership cards). ;)

[atl scott]

My password has changed long ago...

[NothinButChing]

I get tons of credit card numbers a day not gonna share any but def look for a pdga no when they come thru haha

i kinda hope noone else wins just so we (you guys) can keep the banter going!

:clap::clap:

[ArcheType]

is it bad when I'm seriously considering joining the pdga just so i can play this game?

[birdman101]

kinda wish i had a number :mad:

[TrippinBill]

I found 3 with all 5 digits in the wrong order. I have 222 in mine so that makes it easy to hunt I guess.

[solomon.trenton]

I found one to match my stepson's number (dodo-head lost his card).

[gcr_russell]

I still look at a hundred bills at work each day (at a minimum) andhave found several close, with last week having one that was only one digit away. I'm getting antsy.

[Vegan Ray]

I found one to match my stepson's number (dodo-head lost his card).

WIN! Send me his address.

[bcr123psu]

Ooh...s.t, post what your super-special prize is. Unless it's a poop.

[solomon.trenton]

WIN! Send me his address.

its the same as mine

[solomon.trenton]

I still look at a hundred bills at work each day (at a minimum) andhave found several close, with last week having one that was only one digit away. I'm getting antsy.

the closest i have gotten is 41071 and my number is 41078

[chrishysell]

I missed this thread. So do I go play in a tournament tonight or open my safe and go through the
+$2000 that I have collected? Will Ray give me a ghost pepper?

[ArcheType]

I'm counting the days til october 1st so i can join and get in on this game,

hopefully the money i use to sign up with doesn't have the numbers i need on it!

also: is it bad that i had to ask myself this,

"i wonder if that disc in solomon.trenton's pic is a real disc or a mini?"

[Vegan Ray]

Will Ray give me a ghost pepper?

Yes!

[chrishysell]

I went home and went through 66 $20's, 58 - $10's, 42 - $5's & 218 - $1's. I didn't even come close to 7382 but I saw 7323 3 times. None of the money in my pocket or the other bills I have in a collection came close. It's not as easy as I thought.

I went to the tournament and someone lost a disc. He said if I found it he would give me a reward. I found the disc and he gave me a fresh ghost pepper from his garden. Who carries those things in their bags? Wo does.

since ray is evicted from dgcr you can reach him at veganray at verizon dot net (his email changed recently)

those 3 digit pdga numbers sure do make the game easier... our friend (who ray got the idea from) has a $100 bill with his 5 digit number on it.
