The Things We Do For TON
The poker site I use, Ultimate Poker (benefactors of my $1000 score), is owned by the same company as UFC, as the name would indicate.
Because the site is newly opened to NJ players, and UFC 169 is in New Jersey it only makes that it would give away some tickets to the event to online players.
UFC and Ultimate Poker went big, putting 1,000 pairs of tickets on the line. There are quite a lot of ways to win including winning pretty much any tournament on the site in January, or some random draws on their Facebook page and lots of other ways. Each of the Ultimate Pros had 3 pairs to give away to twitter followers who do certain things like make a video, or do something for charity, or say what you would do with a million dollars.
None of those was up my alley, so I went after Brent Hanks.
He was awarding tickets for the best joke tweeted with the hashtag "makeBrentlaugh."
But here's the problem: UFC 169 is February 1st. The same day as Duke's first trip to the Carrier Dome to play Syracuse. So I can't go. So I will give the tickets* to my only other friend who follows UFC.
You're welcome big TON.
*-assuming there is no fine print about the tickets being non-transferrable.
*-assuming if anything cool happens he takes pictures and does a guest post about it.

WHAT?!?! Ha ha, awesome dude, much appreciated. I didn't think your plan to win the tickets would actually have anything to show, but damn that was quick. Nicely done. I owe you big time.
Wow - that corny joke finally put to good use. See what I did there?
I am a great friend, a nice guy and now I can say I'm a prize-winning humorist.
