- Nick217, on 10/30/2009, -4/+369only a few stories can be told in receipt form.
- WilD9, on 10/31/2009, -8/+290They also had the $50,000 that Allan won at Blackjack.
- BillC0sby, on 10/31/2009, -5/+211it was over 9000
- toxicshok, on 10/31/2009, -2/+195Don't mean to nitpick, but roofies aren't GHB. GHB is gammahydroxybutrate and roofies are flunitrazepam.
- internetisscary, on 10/30/2009, -4/+174The Mercedes is what really killed them.
- IShouldBeWorkin, on 10/31/2009, -3/+160I'll prob get dugg down for taking this too seriously, but as someone who spends entirely too much time in Vegas I can say from first hand knowledge these prices are wrong.
- apostledeets, on 10/31/2009, -0/+119I thought that was $80,000?
- NathanielJ, on 10/31/2009, -11/+116Why would you type this on a crinkled-looking receipt image if you have no idea how to make the text look crinkled as well? It just looks weird like this.
- PsychoGraphic, on 10/31/2009, -8/+113I disagree. I think it looks fine, and I take readability over realism any day. Personally, I think the author made the right choice:
A.) crinkled paper + plain text: start with a stock photo of a crinkled receipt, copy and paste a clean segment of the crinkled receipt until the desired length is achieved, type out the required text in a receipt-like font and overlay it on the receipt image.
Est. time: 2 hours
Resources: Photoshop
Result: Digg front page
B.) plain paper + plain text: same as Option A, but don't use any images of crinkled receipt...just type on a plain white background, crop it into a receipt-like width, and add a drop shadow so viewers can tell where the receipt image ends and the Web browser's default background begins.
Est. time: 4 minutes
Resources: Photoshop
Result: excellent readability, very boring, very small chance of Digg front page
C.) crinkled paper + crinkled text: same steps as Option A, but then use Photoshop to rasterize the text and warp it to look crinkled.
Est. time: 4 millennia
Resources: Photoshop, immortality
Result: decreased readability (vs. Option A), and therefore, decreased chance of Digg front page
D.) crinkled paper + crinkled text: obtain a commercial-grade receipt printer, program it to display the required text and formatting, print the receipt, crinkle it and take a photograph of it.
Est. time: 4 hours
Resources: commercial-grade receipt printer (including software)
Result: decreased readability (vs. Option A), and therefore decreased chance of Digg front page; car payment spent on receipt printer; repo man takes car - alex7575, on 10/31/2009, -1/+90The fact that all of yous know so much about ruffies kinda worries me...
WTF is this place? 4chan?!? - alkalineromance, on 10/31/2009, -1/+75So at the end of the day, they still had over twenty grand, not bad.
- kss42, on 10/31/2009, -2/+53There's no way that can be right
- dmanmax99, on 10/31/2009, -0/+45Worth it.
- daliminator, on 10/31/2009, -0/+41WHAT? 9000?!
- pr0lixity, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4021th?
- skittlebomb101, on 10/31/2009, -0/+37You are willing to bed most Americans? ;) Whatever that means...

- jh42, on 10/31/2009, -1/+36Good work, Detective.
- Mothh, on 10/31/2009, -5/+40What happens in Vegas: Priceless.
- gfail, on 10/31/2009, -1/+32Mike Tyson was fantastic in this movie.
- kinsider, on 10/31/2009, -0/+31I didn't notice it until you mentioned it actually
- coreyjro, on 10/31/2009, -0/+26The bride's father knew what was going to happen to the car when he lent it to them. I'd consider that a wedding gift.
- onefineline, on 10/31/2009, -1/+27uh yeah - DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T mix G with alcohol. VERY bad idea. Yeah, I guess it has a roofie-like effect if mixed with alcohol, as in you might ***** die.
- Ramenamen, on 10/31/2009, -3/+28Is it bad that this seems a bit conservative? I'd figure they spent a lot more.
- BillC0sby, on 10/31/2009, -3/+26either way, it was over 9000
- maliciousmo, on 10/31/2009, -2/+23yes
- case116, on 10/31/2009, -1/+22Getting face-straddled by a naked Asain man: Priceless.
- harsesus, on 10/31/2009, -2/+23GHB can be considered *a* 'roofie' of sorts, but its a liquid party drug, usually shortened simply to 'G'. The solid pill rohypnal (flunitrazepam) is (more?) commonly refered to as a 'roofie'. GHB is more of a liquid extacy-like drug popular among party kids. When mixed with alcohol it has a roofie-like effect and can be used as a substitute.
- alex7575, on 10/31/2009, -1/+22$1 Bob, I mean Drew...
- feignNU, on 10/31/2009, -0/+20GHB and flunitrazipam (roofies) are *completely different* drugs. Flunitrazipam is a benzodiazepine, like Valium or Xanax or Clonazepam or any number of others. It has an extremely long half-life, and it has extreme memory impairment effects. GHB is, as toxicshok said, gammahydroxybutyrate (or gamma hydroxy butyric acid, both are valid names). It has a very short half-life, and lasts only about 3 or 4 hours. Both drugs are GABA agonists, just like alcohol, and have broadly similar effects (sedation, impairment of coordination, euphoria, memory impairment, etc). GHB has been branded as a date rape drug, but has more of a history of use amongst body builders and party kids than anything else. Flunitrazepam is probably not used recreationally as much as it is used for sexual assaults, but honestly I would say plain ol' alcohol is a more effective date rape drug than either. Oh and ps, mixing alcohol with any other GABA agonist is probably a Bad Idea(tm).
- deathguppie, on 10/31/2009, -11/+30This is a total fake. You can see the overlapping edges of several different pieces of paper and the print that falls across them as if they were a single receipt.
- Combat, on 10/31/2009, -0/+14are you ***** retarded? I'm drunk as ***** and that still doesn't make sense.
- TylerLavite, on 10/31/2009, -3/+16It was 80 thousand he says "when I woke up on the roof, I happen to find 80 thousand dollars worth of bellagio chips in my pocket". I Just looked ay my video in iTunes.
- Ruiner, on 10/31/2009, -1/+14It was a movie not a documentary. Of course its a fake receipt.
- Lunchbox37, on 10/31/2009, -0/+13Can we watch?
- sublimefool311, on 10/31/2009, -0/+12No, no, no... There's an apostrophe in there as well... It just looks silly otherwise.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/31/2009, -1/+13It's not 4chan until someone pulls up in the party van.
- toucha, on 10/31/2009, -5/+16But who was phone?
- reccaoconnor, on 10/31/2009, -1/+12Is your humor dryer than your mum's bush troll or are you just a total douche? Neither dugg nor buried till I can make sense of this digg androgyny.
- premiumballin, on 10/31/2009, -2/+13He forgot the fines Alan had to pay for being within 50 feet of a school.
- Jaizu, on 10/31/2009, -0/+11Thanks. I didn't know people took GHB for "fun". I thought its only purpose was rape...
onefineline : I'm kinda afraid to try anything beside alcohol and weed, as in : I don't want to ***** die. - perre, on 10/31/2009, -8/+18This is awesome and well done, but how about we give props to the guy who did this and link to the source? This is Jack Satin's blog:

- rampage88, on 10/31/2009, -0/+8what about the tux delivery on the freeway?
- pauzer, on 10/31/2009, -0/+8And the Carrot Top show was the cheapest thing of the night. How fitting.
- smashblu, on 10/31/2009, -0/+7Super cool story bro!
- bossm4n, on 10/31/2009, -1/+8Dugg for Negro Modelo!
- TriplePlay2425, on 10/31/2009, -0/+7Wow, you are the world's ***** drug dealer!
- MOJIRA, on 10/31/2009, -5/+11This would have been more relevant when the movie was about to come out...
Clever, I suppose, but not really that funny. -
