Bringing new meaning to "throwing your life savings away"



This must be a continuation from an older story. There was a UK fellow who wanted to dig up a landfill a while back for his hard drive. This must be the same person. The government refused because apparently doing significant digging in a landfill has some pretty serious environmental risks.

I read an article the other day that found that around 100 billion dollars of bitcoin are locked away by forgotten passwords and lost hard drives.

I would say the 10th hole is the start of your demise. Throttle back on about hole 8, and you should have a much better round. Yer welcome.

P.S. Your golf round nirvana would appear to occur right around the midway point, which is very similar to mine.:D

When your doing a beer a hole it’s damn tough to focus on the back 9 nevermind finish.

I should mention that I took TV Crafts 12/22/32 at Victoria Composite back in the late 70s. Even then, in front of no audience, just classmates and the teacher, people had problems reading a long standing pre-prepared news script looking only at a camera.

“Thanks for that look into sports Brian”

The ending was priceless!

Brian Collins actually overcame that event and went on to make a good life, even doing some on screen reporting on a Waco, Texas TV station. He did an interview on Tosh.0 but Comedy Central has a geoblock on its video content.

There's this video which explains what went on with that newscast. Lots of unnecessary content, though.
