For those not familiar with the terms, "tadpole" refers to a trike with 2 front and 1 rear wheel (layout like a kid's trike is called a "delta").

"Tadpole" can also refer to the (sometimes much) younger husband/boyfriend of a "cougar".

At least that's what I've heard.

There's a reason I don't gamble. I liked playing video games a little too much as a child. A slot machine is a video game you pay to play every time. Like an arcade game that costs $20 a pop.

Well, the time I went to Reno (part of a larger trip), I sank 25-30 bucks into the quarter slots on that basis. And another 10 or so into shrimp cocktails. ;-)

About the lottery: One way to look at the lottery is "a tax on people who are bad at math". The other is "the triumph of hope over realism"... remembering that Hope was the last demon out of Pandora's Box.
