You know the McDonald’s Monopoly game? Back in 1986 or so, we won the $1000 prize…..and yes, it made our Disney World vacation that we were already going on just a TAD better! The funny thing was when the McDonald’s rep called she was busting out all over, full of CHEER and EXCITEMENT. She was sadly disappointed when I wasn’t falling all over myself with joy. Hell, I already knew I won, just give us the $ !!

And that’s the only thing we’ve ever won from any of those kinds of contests. And, I don’t know anyone else that ever has won anything, either. My husband always enters those “Win a truck” things, but then he plays the lottery too, which is a big fat waste of money, dontcha think?

As the guy who hugged Al, I should point out that, at 3 years old, I did in fact win the Crown Point Little League raffle. $300. I’m told it paid for my college education (the first one), but the federal government and its insistence on payment each month would leave me to believe that the proceeds didn’t cover the entire tab.

I once won an oven mitt and matching potholder from Hungry Jack pancake mix.

I like coffee…clearly not as much as you, but man alive that was a good read.

Oh and I do not know anyone that has won a cash prize like that, if I did I sure would ask to borrow a few buck

“Listen, I can’t claim to have an alarmingly huge roster of friends or anything”

Touche, sir.

Jeff,

Did you ever think about pouring boiling water over the coffee in the filter basket and letting it drain into a container? Dude, you seriously need to learn some survival skills. You can also just boil and strain the coffee like your ancestors did before fancy coffee pots were invented to make people think they can’t have coffee without them. Will it be as good a cup? Compared to no coffee, you betcha! Now, go get the Little House on the Prairie books to read to your children so you’ll know how to survive and live off the land in the event of some terrible disaster.
