Help me rbr, you're my only hope.
1) I'm in the short-ish list for a contest to win a car. Basically, at
this point I have a 1:10 chance. Background: http://www.marketwire.com/press-rele...nc-962882.html 2) rbr is the smartest group of people I know. Yes, I'm that desperate. Any creative suggestions as to how to embarrass myself in the most creative fashion possible would be greatly appreciated. Since my current Expected Value is about $1500, I have a modest budget for interesting ideas. BTW, this is unrelated, but did anyone notice that I set up a LIVEDRUNK jersey order in another thread? If you want one, the design is ready, you just have to order. Price will depend on the type of jersey you select; the Hampsten-winning-Gavia pink jerseys are substantially discounted. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."

Got nothing. Sorry. Will think a bit. |

Why is LIVEDRUNK unrelated? It seems like the obvious answer. - dave a |

Maybe you could test drive one of those cars and tell them you found a mouse in it, eh? -Paul BTW, I saw something amazing today- a mountain biker being towed up a steep hill by a horse. He was holding onto a handful of the horse's tail. |

He was holding onto a handful of the horse's tail. dumbass, i was on a ride on sunday in a group of six when we came up to a horse and rider on the grass on the side of the road. when we were about 200m behind the horse a driver coming the other way honked at us, for whatever reason the horse was spooked and bolted diagonally across the road and dumped the rider right on the pavement and ran down the road. she was actually knocked out cold. there happened to be an off duty cop who was passing by who immediately called another officer. i stuck around a while, but i don't know what the extent of the rider's injuries were. |

I'll bet that the person in the car who started the whole thing either is unaware that anything happened, or got a good laugh out of it. -- tanx, Howard Caught playing safe It's a bored game remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |
