He lost 300 bucks at a carnival game, left to go home and came back with over 2K which he then lost. Not just the game was rigged, but life is rigged for gentleman of that low intelligence.
 
I dated a girl from Manchvegas for almost two years in college... this explains a lot...
 
My question was how he had his life savings available in cash on that second day? Did he have it buried in the backyard like a pirate?

For every Facebook 'Like' this post gets, we'll put 10 cents towards the cost of Henry's stuffed banana, and if we get to 26,000 Likes, we'll offer to buy Henry's banana for $2,600. If this post gets over 30,000 Likes, we'll offer to buy Henry's banana AND pay for the X-Box Kinect that he was originally trying to win.

He could have probably gotten a Kinect in the clearance bin by now...

Also, i have a much larger live savings than that guy and i'm in college with no job, wtf?

He has a family to support while you are supported by your family.

He had savings. More than tens of millions of families have. He took his kids to the carnival. So overall I think he's probably a very good provider for his family's needs and a good role model for his kids.

He just had a bad day, his pride was on the line with his kid watching, and he made a bad decision.

Great spin maris (really). Only that "bad decision" included going back home, finding his life savings, and going back to the carnival. Bad decision is an understatement. Maybe some kind of compulsive disorder came into play . . . but when you go home to get your family savings to try and win a prize at a carnival (time to reflect), that probably can be written off to stupidity and says a lot of about his parneting skills, IMO.

His only saving grace is he only had $2300 in savings. Had he had $10,000, he might have walked away from the carnival with a whole basket of stuffed fruit.
 
He said he wanted to "win his money back"? You don't win cash at carnival games. I'm calling bullshit on this guy and his sob story.

There is one on ebay for sale.

Q: Does it smell like cabbage? May-02-13
A: No, just failure and a self loathing.
Q: Is there a baby stroller, a wife beater t-shirt or a live human baby included in this auction? May-01-13
A: Only the item pictured... which is a tangible testament to my dignity.
Q: The dreadlocks look a bit singed. Has the banana been near any hot objects? May-01-13
A: The only thing hot that it has been near is my streak of good luck.
