Harry Bounce

A cosmic stroke of outrageous good luck, named after the guy who somehow turns every disaster into a win. A Harry Bounce happens when someone screws up, hits it sideways, or makes a terrible decision — yet the universe immediately fixes it for them and hands them a perfect outcome anyway.

Originates from golf: when Harry blasts a ball deep into the trees and, instead of dying there like a normal shot, it ricochets back out and rolls to the middle of the fairway. Happens in every part of his life: traffic, work, relationships, food orders, you name it — if it should’ve gone wrong, a Harry Bounce magically saves it.
Ben: “Dude, Harry just snap-hooked his drive into the woods.”
Ryan: “Nah, watch this… Harry Bounce.”
(Ball rockets off a branch and rolls to 110 yards, dead center.)
Ben: “Unreal. If I hit that shot, I’m re-teeing.”
Nik: “Guy lives in a force field. Bad things literally can’t stick.”

Harry Bounce

A physics-defying miracle reserved for that one guy who is so stupidly lucky it makes everyone around him question their own life choices. A Harry Bounce is when someone hits an atrocious shot, makes a terrible decision, or screws up royally — and the universe immediately rewards him instead of punishing him, like it’s his personal assistant.

Named after Harry, a man who can nuke a golf ball into a zip code marked “Lost Forever,” only for it to trampoline off three trees, clip a squirrel, and roll out to the center of the fairway with perfect yardage.

Happens in every part of his life:
blows off responsibilities → gets praised
shows up late → gets the best spot
orders wrong item → gets upgraded for free

He is, without explanation, the human embodiment of a glitch in the simulation.
Ben: “Bro, Harry just hit a driver so far left it needed a passport.”
Ryan: “Relax… watch the Harry Bounce.”
(Ball pinballs through the forest like it owes him money, rolls to 95 yards out.)
Ben: “I swear this dude is cheating at life.”
Nik: “He could fall down a flight of stairs and land with a free drink in his hand.”

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

SkyPesos 

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
