You can’t begin to imagine my excitement when I received an email stating that I had one a prize in the Marlboro sweepstakes. Happyhappyjoyjoy! I had been entering every day (actually, just because I kept getting it in my email). But, they were giving away some FANTASTIC prizes such as…..
$250.00 gift card to….?????? It really didn’t state where you could use the gift card. But, I would get $250 worth of something from somewhere.
Cuisinart Coffe Maker….I need this. My coffee maker is dump-worthy.
2010 GMC Sierra Hybrid Truck…visions of mud-bogging (good mileage mud bogging at that!) ran thru my head.
Gourmet Jumbo Burgers….from ??????. Again, it didn’t state where the GJB would come from so I wasn’t too keen about that prize. They could turn out to be made from roadkill or something even more distasteful. Although, I can’t think of anything more unappetizing unless it would be the remains of laid-off workers.
Presidential Edition Horseshoe Set….Bound to get a ringer every time with a O-He-Performs-Miracles-for-The-Masses-Bama horseshoe. RINGER EVERYTIME!!!! Take that, Joe Schmo, trailerpark horseshoe champion thrower 5 years in a row.
$40,000 in gold bars…..WOWEE! My head was about to explode thinking of all the compulsive shopping and hoarding that could be done with that kind of moolah.
3 In 1 Poker Table….Yippee! I have a po-po-po-poker face. (Credit goes to Lady Gaa Gaa).
and so much MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!
I hurriedly read thru the formalities of congratulating me on my win and speed read down to the last part.
I had won a……
FRIGGIN’ ASHTRAY…….
How had that happened? I hadn’t even entered the sweepstakes on the “ashtray day”. Although, I’m fairly sure that it will look like the one in the above picture, I have my fingers crossed that it will look like this…..
At least, THAT would be kinda cool!
Oh well, I can use it as my Secret Santa gift at the annual TrailerPark HolidayParty!

Precious and beloved Stan, who is my only and funnest ever FWOADB,
You sure are a windy little plucker! But, do I love you less for it…..me thinks NOT! You’re time invested in your wordy McWord replies only fuels the thoughts that you are behind most of the ridiculous emails and spam I received by the shit-load on a daily basis. To quote that stout lil’ piano man, Billy Joel (who is being dumped or maybe dumping his latest wife who happens to be a West by golly stand up and holler Virginian):
“Don’t go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are.”
As to whereforth and hereas thus, you need not pretend to be a “journalist” from Somewhere Out There in order to leave a reply.
As to the ashtray, you’ll have to have your scalliwag carpetbagger of an attorney pry it from my cold dead fingers since it is the first thing that I have won since third grade(when I was awarded a silver dollar and some homemade fudge for writing the most book reports for the year).
Hope this find you in hearty health,
YBETAOFWOBE

One of my first ideas I had was making the “Marlboro Mile” the new American currency. 1,000,000 Marlboro Miles would get you an iron lung.

Aha…I’ve had similar thoughts about the Miles being used for an iron lung.
Ya know…I think you’d make a damn fine president. Ya got my vote already!!!
I think that closer to the election, I’ll push your agenda and put your name out there for all the trailerpark people to know.
