I won a prize from a radio show!!
I listen to Ron & Fez just about every evening on my way home from work, and the format of their show is that they’ll bring up a topic, and then callers will bring up ideas that support or refute the topic, or are just funny.
Well, tonight, they were talking about how it’s been proposed in Brazil that pets can no longer have people’s names. I just called in to say that I have a pet named “Buddy”, and that is a valid pet name, but could also be a human name (a la Buddy Ebsen). Well, Ron said to ring the cow bell (that’s the prize bell), because I had named a pet a good name (silly logic, I’ll admit, but hey, it’s a free prize). They told me to hang on, and I could pick something out of the “Big Ass Prize Closet.”
Well, they took down my information (phone number, address, whole name), and told me that someone from the promotions department would be calling, and that they weren’t sure what the prize was yet.
Cool! I expect that it’ll be something like a CD or a station T-Shirt, but who knows?!?
The thing is… I wasn’t even expecting to get on the air, much less to get a prize… I wasn’t even trying for a prize!!
Again, Cool!
In case you’re wondering, that still-looming “big thing” is still in the wings. I know… it’s been nearly 2 months now, but it looks as if we’re within a week or so more… and then things will be all new, and all better!!!
BTW, I was pretty close to having no hints in this post! But as usual, there’s STILL a hint!
