Make Wrage Pay Me

Brad Wrage just lost a bet to me, James Edmondson. It was concerning who he thought was Mark Wahlberg in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was like, "Dude, no way was that Mark Wahlberg." Wrage insisted it was and we made the bet. 5 bucks. We shook.

After he made me check IMDB, we searched high and low for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on the Mark Wahlberg page, and what do you know, I was right (of course). So, naturally I asked Wrage kindly for my 5 bucks. He shakes his head and says, "One thing you'll learn about me is, I don't take bets." What a little wuss! Oh he takes bets, he takes em like a bookie, but he NEVER PAYS. I want to see him take some real bets, and see him get his fingers smashed with a hammer.

Anyways, if enough people comment on this hub, he says he'll pay, but he was probably crossing his fingers.

UPDATE

Thanks to all these hubbers, I'm five dollars richer! Thanks guys!!!

Hey Paul, your business DOES make me money! ;)

This is merely a lie. James is pulling these scams just to make a quick buck.

Brad is lying, this is the second bet he's lost in a week, and I'm no richer.

James, never bet more than a quarter. Yes, that is right, a quarter. Here is why. If you win, there won't be any hard feelings about collecting what is due to you, and if you lose, you won't have any ill feelings about paying up. Obviously, this has upset you, and I am guessing that it has amused Mr. Wrage. I am also supposing that you are not amused.

This not betting more than a quarter is rule I follow -- and then mostly only in the family. Yes, some people are insulted by the small amount. These usually turn out to be people I don't like anyway, and the older I get, the less I care to do anything with someone I don't care for. So, as my father would say, "Rain on 'em." But, don't "rain on" Brad. Let it go, and next time you want to bet, bet a quarter. It is probably more the thrill of being right than it is the money that you are after. You just needed the money to justify your searching for the proof that you were right. And, son, you know that proving you are right is not a particularly stellar quality.

I think Brad should pay a quarter a comment. I think the max comments I ever saw on a hub was a little over 20.

James, tell Gary Odbert about it and he'll take a hammer to Wrage's hand for sure. He's done it before. If not, I bet Georgie would.

PStonie, what are you talking about?

Papa, save the real advice for my advice hub.

Paul, good call. But how bout fidy cent? (Chris Rock "how much fo a rib?" voice).

George, that would be even more dishonest than not coming through on a bet. And I'll be damned if I stoop below him. You know, I'd love to lend you the money, but I spent all of mine on taking out Julie LAST weekend. We had a great little weekend in Healdsburg, the white people capital of the world.

Cam, Maybe I can just take disfigure his face to ruin his chance of ever being a model. Eh that's a little harsh. How bout I tell him I'm interested in accepting Jesus Christ as my lord savior, and saying, "PSYCH!"

Any more suggestions????

Ok, everyone can all calm down. I payed my roomate and best friend the five bucks. Little did he know this was a test of our friendship. I was going to pay him all along. To everyone's interest he didn't get to upset, except the fact he now states he will never make a bet with me again....Ok! I can no longer lie...To tell you the truth I cracked under all the flack I've been getting for this "mishap". I just want my old life back!

Ralph, there are millions. Among them are Paul Edmondson, my brother, Robin, his wife, George R., my father, Cameron, my brother, Mark, my brother, and Glenna, my mom.

Those are the ones on hubpages, aka the important ones. I have five brothers, two sisters-in-law, two nieces, and one nephew.

Now guess my favorite! (Hint, he's a nephew).
