It's that time again, when we gather up our thoughts and reflect on what we managed to win through bets, contests, what have you, and to realize that HEY.... this prize fucking sucks for (x) reason. With that said...
--Pillow Plush?--
When I was young I was watching Nickelodeon and got a number to call to be the Xth caller to recieve a special prize. Called up the number and was informed that I was indeed the winner of a fabulous Scooby-Doo Pillow Plush! I was so happy I won a Pillow Plush even though I didn't know what a Pillow Plush was. I concluded that it must be something soft, shaped like Scooby-Doo that you could put a pillow inside and that you could sleep upon. Several weeks later I get a Nickelodeon box and I open it. I unpack my package and there it was... a fabulous Scooby-Doo Pool Float.

Apparently I misheard him. Seeing as how we did not have a pool in our concrete backyard (Most awesome backyard ever unless you fall
), and that my mom would kill me if I even though about using it at the Mississippi River, it became an impromptu punching/stick hitting bag. Until some dogs bit it and carried it off. Damn the dogs.
--The Amazing Wronglicolored Camel-Bak--
It was during something I forget, but a small celebration and there were raffles going on. I bought one ticket since it was 'strongly recommended' that we do so. The celebration went on, then the raffling started. A few prizes were handed out, some soap, a salami log, basket of fruit, STUFF. Time went on. Then for some reason out of the blue, as the next prize was being called out, I told some people around me that I was going to go ahead and win that prize. Amazingly enough, right after I had said that, the announcer said my numbers. Somebody goes FUCK YOU!, there is some laughter and I walk up to recieve my prize, a quite colorfully yellow Camel-Bak (a small backpack thingy to carry water on long walks/runs).
"You gonna use that?"
*No sir.*
"Good answer." and that was the end of that. Not wearing regulation colored PT gear was way too much of a hassle and got people in trouble before, so that rendered the prize useless. Eventually I gave it away to somebody in a less restricted command.
--Short and to the point--
I'm black and I won a coupon for a free tan.

So what did you "win"?
