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.

a "swan"made of an old truck tire specially sawn then somehow turned inside out. The rubber rings where the rim goes on each side became the "wings", the underbelly became the body and a bit from the top was bent over and shaped into the head. The whole thing was then painted white and used to prop the door open. At the end of the night, somebody (me) was unlucky enough to win it. I never took it home - I wonder who has it now?
