Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

Alfa Romeo EtchingIn 1990, when I was a student and the proud 9ish) owner of an Alfasud (hand painted in Porsche guards Red, brush marks a go go, BOY did that piss off 911 owners), I entered a competition in Street machine for a glass etching kit; lay out the stencil, slap on the goo, give it a bit of time to etch, wash it off and bingo, frosted glass effect logo or whatever.
And I won. Fuck knows how, but a kit to let me put the Alfa Romeo logo on my car glass plopped through the door.
So i thought I'd put it on the screen, top centre. And it worked! But did I wash it off thoroughly enough? oh no.
And did i leave a fucking huge cloud effect down the whole cunting screen? Oh yes.
Prizes should be fucktard student proof, say I. For I WAS that fucktarded student.
Girth reference deemed unnecessary.
I know what the fuck I'm on about because I am.....
