Scrub Donkey Giveaway (1 Viewer)

I'm in.
I wanted to make a sincere post but couldn't find the words to say. So heres my try, I'm grateful that @Ben8257 and I have been included in 1 meet up already, and were looking forward to making it to a few others in the near future. Feel like I've made some friends here, which makes me a happier person. Never thought I'd end up on a forum like this lol but it was meant to be and Ive had quite a few good laughs from yall. Clearly I fell off the deep end when I found the PCA chips and its been a sick endeavor ever since. I literally cannot control it Haha, paying 30+ plus dollars per chip for the most expensive ones, just to see them sit in fear of flea bites or being dropped. However I've recently decided that I want to take my primary PCA cash set and turn it into a tourney set....lol I'm super excited about this!
Seems crazy to me, over $4000 in my sets in these short months (Ben says its ridiculous that I'm a flush and I haven't even been on here 6 months, I feel like its fine) but those things aside, the fact that we literally pull things from here like s***et b**ch and scrub donkey as literal life terms when we talk to people and they look at us like were mental, and we realize we aren't actually talking to fellow chippers, it gets awkward but realize you've made a total life change aka broke AF and chip happy. Soon we plan to start hosting regular games, Ben has very big dreams. I've often thought to myself how many chips I could own if I stopped eating, because PCAs take priority over food.....FML Also not even sure how I ended up collecting singles, and fracs and hotstamps and oh fuck it's like pokemon cards all over, gotta catch em all....
I think the guy had no idea of the sincerity we all would carry for our new term, or maybe he did and we all don't know it yet but hes actually head of the nonexistent secret group buy lol (sorry had to) either way I honestly can't thank him enough for being one of the most hilarious things I've ever experienced in my life, and happily shared it with fellow members here. I truly never thought I would be so happy to have poker chips lol like they're clay circles, but they're so much more to so many of us. I have bad days, we all do, but I look at the chips and where we started and what has now filled our home and our lives and I go....wow we've really lost our damn minds...but then I pick up a barrel of minty chips and breathe in their crisp clay smell and I remember that in all actuality the rest of the world just doesnt know what theyre missing. It's a really sick habit, but I'm so damn proud of those chips, and the friends I have here, and the fact that I'm a fucking scrub donkey.
You guys are the shit :tup: please never let this forum reach a demise like chiptalk did, I'd be so lost in life lol
Carry on fellow scrub donks, carry on.

I got out of breath reading that silently. You need to lay off that nose candy Brie. :p

Seriously though, it's been a pleasure having you on the Island of Misfit Toys.

I’m in!

I’m leading a group buy for fake casino chips from Canada even though the majority of the GB members are from the US and I’m going to cross the border just to ship them via FRB and FRPE.

I also opened a US PP account so the GB members could avoid the stupid transfer fees.

Scrub away!
 
Entering on behalf of my daughter b/c she is truly the scrub donkey of our house.

She is 10 and just traded some of her toys to @sheikh617 for a sample set of his custom CPCs. :eek: She hasn’t even played poker other than 5-card draw, she just loves chips.

If she wins the print I’m pretty confident it will go up in her room. I’m less confident that my wife will find that as amusing as I will...

Can someone with any photo shop skill put this as an inlay on my profile pic?

I need people to stop confusing me with @ovo and thinking what I’m saying is insightful. Much thanks :tup:
I only went with insightful because it felt the best way to increase the burn :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I’m perhaps the prototype scrub donkey.

The cliffs...
  1. Joined site in dec. 2014, paid for ordered 3000 chip CPC set a week later
  2. Built the largest Terribles set known and then sold almost the whole thing unplayed
  3. Rolled out a new custom set each day of the 2017 Great Divide and will do so again next year
  4. Tried to finance the development of new chip colors with a current custom chip vendor...no progress yet.
  5. Trying to develop XXX XXXX XXXXXXXX with a custom chip vendor...lots of progress :wow:
  6. $2 to $5 a chip? :ROFL: :ROFLMAO::ROFL: :ROFLMAO::ROFL: :ROFLMAO::ROFL: :ROFLMAO: ...I mean really. The chips I chase now are 800 a rack usually
  7. Latest custom chip project could cost 50 bucks per....
  8. Have used other chip donkeys as chip mules to receive and transport hundreds of pounds on chips.
  9. Probably 20+ CPC invoices to date
  10. I’ve traded more than 40,000 chips that I never played
  11. Man if I ever really had the chance at GPI design...always the bridesmaid.
  12. The Scrub Donkey print would make a great kiddie busto table for those stuck players next summer. :D
Did a Dhahran to Detroit flight to catch Billy’s game then flew to AZ the next day for a wedding only to wake up the next day for a morning flight to the Hitching Post went straight to breakfast then back to airport with Forrest and back to Saudi. 4 days, around the world travel, just to play the Bourbons and Paymasters

My name is Johnblue and I am a Donkaholic.

I was clean and chip-purchase free for over 5 years, but I’ve relapsed. For the past 4 months I’ve been Scrubbing again. I thought I could handle it, I thought I was different now. I knew I had problems before, but I forgot true repercussions of being Scrub Donkey. I am powerless over chipping, clay is my master.

It started 10 years ago, all I wanted was a set of china clays for my home game, I was searching for the best deals on the interwebs and I found The Blue Wall. What I didn’t know was that this was the beginning of the end. The obsession had started, at that time, i was careful, People were trading huge sets, I missed a couple huge sales PCA and Empress sets were being built with impunity and my envy, coupled with the cheap feeling of shuffling my dice chips still... threw me over the edge.

Grand Victoria! This was my first scrub, I remember it like it was yesterday, the adrenaline of a chiproom sale, the knowledge that I was soon to be one of the elite, one of the few, Scrub Donkeys that owned real, Casino issued Paulson Clay Poker chips was becoming a reality. I had crossed the line. The effect of the addiction was immediate. I scored enough Grand Vic roulettes in my first purchase to house any game I could reasonable foresee. But I couldn’t help myself, in a manner of two days I went back to Jims watering hole and purchased 3 more times, completely useless, extra more, colors, racks. What I needed was a useful cash set, what I ended up with was cash set and a tourney set both big enough for multiple tables.

I laid low, and I was broke, The Blue Wall fell and I thought it was my ticket out. I developed a life. I stayed away from you degenerate Scrub Donkeys. I knew where you were, even though I pretended I didn’t. Every once in a while I would drive by the PCF and stalk, remembering the old life, but knowing I was free.

The Chiproom is my Scrub of choice, and The Roadhouse Value Sale was the straw that broke the camels back. Again, I couldn’t afford it, but again, how could any self respecting degenerate Scrub Donkey Refuse $0.50 spotted Paulsons? I was hooked. I was back, Clay was again my master.

Since I saw the first hint of Roadhouse coming, I became a member, and within a few weeks I started buying up all the Grand Vic roulettes I could find, I was reaching out like a fiend, searching the forums years past for anyone who ever had any in their possession, blindly requesting they sell me their roulette molds.

Have you ever seen the Dave Chappell skit about Crackheads? That’s me.

I now have close to 3000 roulette mold chips, thousands more random clays I’ve purchased from eBay, I am off to the races.

I just started buying up THC solids, I think I have about 800 now, and I am going to buy a drill press so I can scrape away the surface and tweak out “dream set”

My name is Johnblue and I am a Donkaholic.

I have a fever, and the only prescription is MOAR CHIPPIES.

in.

I own mixed sets of WTHC, BTP, SB, ES and AS. full scrub donkey prices and I use abbreviations for them. Final answer: my kids think I sell poker chips and cigars for a living.

[Edit: I own 2000+ jack chips that have not seen the light of day.]
Hi, it's me, your kid. Can I play with some of the minty Jacks?
 
I 'm a scrub donkey
-because, in one year's time I 've spent more on chips than on my supercar's insurance, service, road tax and high-end tyres. The car is going for sale soon (OK, I turned 50 anyway); not the chips
-because most of my chips cost more (or much more) than what they represent at the table
-because I buy-in for the maximum even against clearly superior players, in order to admire more beauty (chips) on the felt
-because I tend to spread an inefficient (chip-wise) 2/5 dime game (instead of a .25/.50, at this level at least) in order to have in play both 1-dime and 5-dime chips instead of horribly boring quarters
-because I get emotional about chip set projects
-because I keep emailing links to friends from the Classifieds here, honestly knowing that they still won't give a shit (or any amount of $) for a nice entry-level bargain set
:)

So, ummm….I'll just take second place.

Also, I'm both embarrassed and proud to say (embarrassed that it's just one) that my only Paulson set are your LCOs. One day, I'll even have some 2s.
 
Tell me more about Inga.
Bulgarian National Champion of HoldEm, attended the Iceland meet-up. It was very fun to play with her! Elmar the Icelandic mafia don is on her left, and Hank the Main Event winner is on Poker Zombie's right.

In. Can’t compete with most of you “master” scrub donkeys but I did win an auction for a SB sample set the other day. Shortly after I received the chips I ran across the SB Pr0n thread and the first thing that popped into my mind is “I wander if I can get the wife to help me display these chips like in the Jungleman Cates video.” I then acted upon that thought by having her watch the video and then asking her if she would be willing to help me display the chips. She wasn’t amused. In hindsight not one of my brighter ideas but could help me qualify for scrub donkey status.
