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.

dildoI once entered the Rude Reading held by my university's poetry reading group. I had the DJ put on some Curtis Mayfield, and "stripped" down to my heinous granny-style flabgrabber, to the howling approval of the apparently overweight women in the crowd (to be fair, it could have been men who feel their desire for the larger lady is insufficiently met by FHM and Maxim, but I doubt it). Then I read some fucking shit story which no one listened to. I won a purple vibrator and a Candida Royalle video. Still, at least I learned that you shouldn't pay money for Candida Royalle videos *shudder*.
