- myrdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1After an hour and a half of reading, I would like to say that this gets my approval! +DIGG
- ManiacFive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Never read this before, really awesome, Digg! Patrick Combs seems like a helluva guy.
Me personally, Living it up in the Med somewhere if it happened :-) Hey, morally, I'm a very grey shaded shallow guy - expensix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You should check out his book, Major in success. If you don't have a major yet, this book will help you out.. Well, it helped me out.
- Wiser87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Old, but a damn good story anyways. :-)
- Seaton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't remember the last time I read this, but it was just as enthralling the second time around.
You got my Digg. - tekknofieber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is so incredibly old, but so awesome, read it.
- Gepetto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'll digg, tho I read this sometime last year. It's still interesting
- Optimus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*****, that story RULES. ++++++++++DIGG
- TJMeier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ya, i just read for about an hour, crazy stuff..
- wreckless76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a fascinating story. Long read, but worth every minute.
- iamserious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a great story. Patrick and I met up in Montreal this past summer, just before he took his show and (very) true stroy to Broadway. He is an inspirational thinker, and one talented guy.
Here's the link.

My bank "Bank of the West" wont cash a check for $7000 dollers. They put a two week hold on any amount over $5000.00
No it does not matter what your bank balance it.
there just suck. - MikeEFresh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I searched my best and couldn't find it.
- uncle_dad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I read this about eight years ago, back in my drunken days.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AWESOME!
BEST READ EVER! - Dustin3737, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool story, I dont care how old it is, good read. Dugg. And that would kick so much ass btw...
- Leonaken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So, in the end, the get-rich-quick scheme worked out of the envelope. LOL
- M3ntok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think I remember reading this a long time ago, but I had totally forgotten. It's an interesting read.
- floppytaco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a great read. I know this because I read it 3 years ago. I'm not complaining and you can mod me down if you want but this is just more random crap for digg. I think I am going to start submitting everything I have ever read on the internet and hope it makes the front page because 10% of it probably will.
- Rich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I read this story earlier this year. It's a pretty interesting read.... but LONG! +digg
- smegball, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I saw this show at the Montreal Fringe Festival this summer. The show was great and Patrick's story was great. His story has been on the Net for quite a few years already.
- Koldark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting... most expensive mistake that company ever made.
- eschatonik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really cool story, but what's with the last page of the story (page 12, not the "asking for a tip addendum on page 12)?
The last paragraph ends with:
"he played a lost child in a staged event to see how many N"
???? - CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I read this YEARS ago, it's incredibly old.
That said, i stayed up late procrastinating one night reading it and the next day i was showing everyone. Very good read. - jarinudom, on 03/31/2008, -0/+0Wow this is old enough to make me a little nostalgic hehe
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"In May of 1995"
Anymore questions about date? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy crap that was long.
- JC4P, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i just spent 2 hours reading that you bastard. And that was one of the coolest things i've ever read.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@guyhersh:
I'm sorry that the definition of *news* includes being a recent happening. I'm sorry that Digg's about page says that Digg is a "technology news website". I didn't write either of those, but I do follow them since they are written.
Digg started getting on my nerves when people started digging stories just because they haven't read them... or just to piss off people who actually know what digg is for... - tynin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Um, Lionhart and pweintz, did you actually read the story? Because both of your posts make it pretty clear you didn't.
- pilotvaughn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Lionhart, you clearly are an idiot. He didn't keep the $95,000.
I also remember reading this like 5 years ago... - Spacemanspif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very old, but good story. I ended up missing 2-3 classes I could not pull myself away from reading it (that was like 4 years ago). A very good story worth reading. I'm sure it would not happen again, but nice to dream. A good article for those who missed it.
- tynin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0An oldie but a goodie. Dugg.
- ZombieLordzero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0old story, but good read
- Tonyisbad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats ***** awesome, i don't care if its old, its news to me, ***** i want to go cash one of those now as well
- newave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So even though he returned the money...i wonder how much hes made on the story....
- Carbito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't believe that I have never seen this before. Its a long story, but a good read.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This ain't news... UBER OLD!
- GuyHersh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another Digg for just spending the last 2 god damn hours reading that on a friday night..
... time just flew.
GREAT story, never heard of it, I was only in 3rd grade when it happened. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0BTW, no I wasn't offended by the TIPS. Because I know the price of hosting a website.
And I'm sure that this DIGG will not help. - LtData, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seen it before, but still like it.
- GuyHersh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WHY THE HELL was this taken off the front page?!
It was a good story, its not a dupe...
... digg is starting to get on my nerves with people reporting stories just cuz THEY read it before... apparently 600 people liked it! - catullus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0i am pretty sure this is a dupe, but i dont feel like searching to prove it, and it is a must-read anyway, so i guess i'll digg it instead
- jediboytj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1ah... i love modding down all the DUPE and OLD criers... go cry somewhere else.
very interesting read +digg - elev8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Is this from 1993 or 1995?
- Wolfman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0For the love of God this is an old story, but a pretty damn badass one, so I'll digg it anyway.
- pweintz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Was no one else offended by his shameless begging for money through out the story? Asking for tips? Come on!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Stop being whiny bitches, good and interesting read, dugg
- ThomasNewman1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I read this 3 years ago, found the link from www.bored.com
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0You can't even pretend that this one is technology or news, let alone both. Interesting, but doesn't belong on Digg.
