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.

The Geography ChampionIn elementary school, every year we had a geography bee, which was basically a test of who knew the most random facts about locations of countries and seas.
But anyways, after three rounds of competition, I was in the finals, which I quickly won. I was on top of the world (ha...) and I greatly anticipated being showered with confetti, photographs, and lucrative prizes. Sadly, the first two did not happen, but I was presented a prize... which happened to be a world atlas.
Has there ever been a more redundant prize? It was like winning a hot dog eating contest, only to be presented with more hot dogs. Pitiful.
My balls are huge.
