: All weekend long, I kept calling K-ROCK to win Radiohead tickets, and I didn't win a damn thing. But I did just win a copy of "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" on ebay. So here's my poll.
: 1. Ever try to win anything on the radio before? What was it, and did you win?
-Yep. Off this local radio station when I was little. They had these Cheerwine contests where they gave drinks, shirts, hats, stickers, coolers, coozies, etc, and a big one that you would win a volkswagon dune buggy all decked out in Cheerwine colors and logos. Me and my mom won about 3 or 4 of the smaller ones, but not that damn dune buggy. Man, did I want that when I was in elementary school. I probably had delusions about driving it to school. I also won some ghostbuster iron-on patches from that same radio station.
: 2. What's the most amount of $$ you've ever won in lottery or by gambling?
-Not sure. I registered to win a car at a minor league baseball game and won it. It was a 1976 oldsmobile cutlass supreme. Only problem, it had a bad starter, so they had to jump it off, then they cut it off after they drove it into the stadium, so when they had to jump it off again, they reversed the charges and messed some other stuff up. Then my friends got it to run. It had been sitting in the parking lot at the stadium for about a month. Then, I got in and drove it around, and when I almost got back to my parking space, the transmission completely gave out. So, I took the title back to them since I hadn't registered it yet and gave it back.
: 3. What's the first thing you've ever won on ebay or a similar online auction (I asked this once a while back and got some great answers)?
-Never bought anything online like that.
: 4. Ever have a sports-related moment of glory? Describe (i.e. winning touch down, home run, etc)
-Hell yes. My pinnacle was pitching a no hitter. Runner up would be when I got to face the russian national team of my age. I was as pumped as I could have been and struck out 5 batters in the first two innings. Of note is that they had 8 left handed batters in the starting lineup. But, then I pulled the fuck out of my hip flexor warming up for the 3rd and had to leave the game. There were a lot of one on one match ups with dickhead batters that I won too.
: 5. Name a good movie in which you rooted for the bad guy.
-Every Friday the 13th. He just wants people to stay the fuck out of his camp. Every one of them open up with something about how "nobody has been up to that lake since them kids were killed", and nothing ever happens in between, which proves that if folks stayed away, all would be well.
: 6. If you could chose a game show to go on as a contestant, which show would you chose?
-I'd really like to make an ass of my self on wheel of fortune. I would yell BIG MONEY! BIG MONEY! BIG MONEY! every time I spun, and I would call pat a different name each time, pat, bob, alex, etc.
