Time for your Pacman Jones update ... and it's a fun one. Everybody's favorite bouncer biter is in even more trouble today, as the search warrant for him has been made public. All kinds of doozies in here:
Las Vegas police recovered more than $81,000 in cash from Mitchell's room that investigators believe belonged to Jones. The search warrant also shed light on some missing details about what happened inside the strip club before the 5 a.m. shooting occurred. Cornelius Haynes Jr., better known as the rapper Nelly, and rapper Jermaine Dupri, were also at the club and sitting with Jones's entourage in the VIP section, the warrant stated.
Haynes had tossed hundreds of $1 bills on the stripper stage, an action known in street slang as "making it rain," and Jones joined in. An announcer told all the dancers to go to the center stage, and about 40 strippers soon were on the stage. Mitchell told the strippers from his Houston club to pick up the money, which apparently was only supposed to be used for visual effect, the warrant stated. One of the dancers than took the trash bag filled with Jones' money and a "melee broke out. Jones became irate about the loss of his money, and the fact that girls were in a frenzy, picking up the money at their feet," the warrant stated.
Oh, so this was all about a trash bag with $81,000 in it. THAT should clear everything up.

I finally figured out what Chicken Noodle Soup is about!
I missed the level in Ms. Pac Man where she wields a champaigne bottle.
This is meant for the previous thread but Nibbles won't allow me to post it there. It's like Dany Heatley celebrating a goal by crashing into the endboards.
was Nelly's bandaid involved in this fracas?
i always figured it was common knowledge that you only walk into a strip club with exactly the ammount of money you plan to spend and not a penny (or $81K) more. i guess they don't teach that lesson at WVU.
Is it just my computer or did anyone else have trouble looking at the video posted yesterday of the "melee." Man, Pac-Man is in some deep shit!
I think "Pac Man Fever" may become on of the most prolific, and enjoyable, tags ever!!! Let's make this happen, Will.
Still thankful that it wasnt Tom EMANSKI that was involved in the scuffle. He's got AAU titles to defend.
No one has seen $81K at WVU. But perhaps he took a class in "stripper economics" which taught what it would take to make it rain.
I know this has been mentioned before, but where I'm from, when you toss money on the stripper stage, you usually allow the stripper to keep it.
I ALWAYS carry my thousands in a trash bag.
And Cornelius? Seriously?
We are just making Vegas more and more famous.

Not to be confused with the R Kelly version of "making it rain"
Fat Joe is disappointed by this turn of events.
I'm sorry, but anyone who "makes it rain" simply for visual effect is about as much of a poser as humanly possible. I hope Pac Man dies. There, I said it.
The Leader is the only person I know of that travels around with a huge bag of cash.
The "visual effect" PacMan was attempting to pull off...class
Man, Pac-Man is in some deep shit!
And he's a short little fucker, so that could be a big problem for him.
The title of this post is misleading. Pacman DOES like to make it rain - he just wants all of his rain to stay with him, as opposed to those crazy strippers.
"Make it Rain" has been added at #1 on my "Things to Do Before I Die" List.
When contacted for comment, Milli or Vanilli, whichever one didn't off himself, said that we should, quote, "Blame it on the rain".
So THAT'S what "make it rain" means. Well I guess I owe a few girls at Big Earl's Goldmine an apology now.
Well I'll be...
You can't throw hundreds of dollars at crack-addicted strippers and not expect them to go insane. That's just common sense.
R. Kelly takes issue with your definition of "making it rain"
Tim Hardaway thought it was cool at first, since it was at a strip club, but he hates anyone who does things "for visual effect."
Does the sky ask for the water back when it makes it rain? No. So don't ask for your money back, Pacman.
Anyone laying odd on how long until we see PacMan's car back on the Ebays?
by the way, of anyone cares, there is not word one about this over on the four-letter-word website.
To be fair, Pacman asked Vince Young to put $81 of ones in a bag. And we all know about Young's mathematic skills.

How do you withdraw $81k from the ATM? You stick dollar bills on it and let strippers knock it over
ood=odds
Work you stupid fucking coffee, work.
I actually heard a report last night that Pacman smashed a stripper's head on the stage after she tried to take money, which was mighty nice of him.
So how exactly does "hundreds of $1 bills" turn into $81,000?
If I were a stripper, I think it would be reasonable to assume they were giving you the money.
George Jones is taking away Pacman's ATV riding privileges for three weeks.
What a profoundly offensive lifestyle these assholes live. *We're millionaire athletes/entertainers. Lets go to the strip joint, literally throw a pile of money at women (who make maybe 1/100th of what we do) but only for visual effect in order to satisfy our little need to live in rap video fantasy world*
Do these dickheads expect the women to spit the Cristal back into the bottle too? "No, you cant swallow it, it's just for visual effect that I'm going to go home and masturbate to."
I love learning about street slang. I hope the R-J covers "space docking" next.

That's Kobe's thing, not Pac Man's thing.
If Pac Man/Cornell were in Canada, that might be a funny make it rain/kill strippers with loonies scenario

You throw a handful of nickels at her.
Then you bite her.
No one can make it rain like the sex cannon.
@scumdog0331: They made a quick note of Pac-Man and even mentioned Whitlock's article on PTI yesterday...
Something tells me that's as far as their coverage on this will go unless Pac Man gets convicted (finally) of something.
I'm still in shock that the strippers couldn't take Pac-Man or Dupri in the brawl. Aren't they both about 5'6"???
Next job for Pac-Man come June 1st is to make Whoppers in the Burger King commercial with the other midgets.
I did this once with a bag full of pennies, a.k.a. "making it sleet". It didnt go over well either...
So, he tosses a bunch of money on stage to look cool, then makes the strippers come pick it up and they are supposed to hand it back to him? What a douchefucker. I hope he gets hit by a bus.
***unless, like on Lost, he does actually get hit by a bus. Then I will feel bad.

paging michael irvin....
mr. irvin, please pick up the courtesy phone located in the champagne room
Man, Pacman must have the smallest penis ever, because that is a shitty dick tease.
(Sorry, this is the worst type of mysgony in my book and that makes me cranky. Stippers? I love them. God bless them. Guys that go to strippers, hey... good for you. Guys that go to strippers and tease them with money. Fuck you.)
Man... Didn't realize I was pissy this AM.
@44 in a Row: But strictly for visual effect; they don't get to actually keep the nickels.
Rex Grossman has an alternate definition of 'making it rain'
@44 in a Row: I think that's "make it bleed", but I admit I'm not up on all the current jargon.
Andie - no need to feel bad. Juliet's husband was a tool, Pacman is a tool. Buses are God's way of thinning the herd sometimes.
Damn, Chief beat me too it.

reminds me of that scene in The Departed when Jack Nicholson has a giant bowl of coke next to his bed, takes a handful and throws it on the 2 women laying half naked.
why do i have a feeling scorese didn't even tell Jack what to do during that scene, he just said "It's Friday night, Jack"
Real Pac Men only take quarters
The only way 81K in a trash bag is cool is if it has this printed in the side of it: $$
"Um, thank you Fat Tony, er, but next time I'd prefer a suitcase rather than the sackful of money with the dollar sign on it."
@BigTenObsession: "Buses are God's way of thinning the herd." should be a bumper sticker.
At the club, Pacman addressed the dancers and said "I'm giving away free money, and where is the Batman??? Home- washing his tights!"
Wosrt strip club I ever been to: @ Pen State, not far from the campus if I remember correctly.. Went to an indoor soccer tourny held by the school team when I was 18. Couldn't drink and watch the girls strip at the same time, which was shit.
If you scoop up your $81k before the strippers get it, is it called "making it evaporate"?
@Lady Andrea:
You sound like Daria, which for the most part is a good thing.
I've never understood guys wanting to take their girlfriends to a strip club much less the girlfirends who actually go (and even less girlfriends who go and then wield champagne bottles at bouncers' heads).
@Lady Andrea:
I love that you referenced Lost...that bit was hilarious.
