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.

rednecksYears ago, my parents were helping to coordinate some sort of raffle at my school, and were really proud in particular of a beautiful, new, handmade quilt that they had managed to get donated as a prize.
Nobody else was very impressed, though. They were all crossing their fingers for the cord of firewood. OOooooooohhhh, someone's going to get lucky....
