Did they not offer the cash value? Did you keep the truck or sell it?


No cash offer. The organization was locked into the purchase. Worked out well though. My recent HS grad son drives it. It was tough to handle that tax year. It was like buying a truck at 70% off.

I scored four tickets to a WWF live event in Baton Rouge and a Demolition t-shirt in Summer 1990 by calling into WGGZ 98.1 FM.

Ironically, I would see Tito Santana and Mr. Perfect, arch rivals fighting in the night’s main event, arrive in the same car before the show, thus exposing the wrestling business to my young eyes.

A cruise. Halloween contest at a strip club. My S/O and I went as Xena and Ares. She looked a lot like Lucy Lawless.

Anybody ever win anything cool?


Other stuff I’ve won:

National Wild Turkey Federation tractor seat stools at a banquet. You ever want female attention? Walk through a bunch of semi-drunk redneck women carrying a pair of these.

Ruger American 7mm-08

Frozen turkey in the 3rd grade. I was so mad when I found out the turkey was not alive.

In 2006 I won an electric cooler/warmer shaped like a basketball for correctly guessing a question about Shaq on 98.1

It might have been able to hold 6 beer cans. Never used it.

I’ve won lots on radio call ins. Trip to beech mtn for 4 days was probably the coolest. George strait tickets, Kenny Chesney tickets, Eric church, hawks and Braves tickets probably 8-10 times, $100 gift card, nascar tickets in Atlanta three years in a row, Pink Floyd cover band, and a couple more.

it was a short par 3, so I pulled out the 3 wood and came about 10 feet short from hitting the ball into the hole.

Must still be working your way into it if you think 10 feet is close to being a hole in one.

Sounds like a great shot though.

I used to win stuff all the time.

I had my phone set up with the radio station numbers showing up first if I went in the reverse direction.

Food, concert tickets, gift cards.

Dick-measuring contest

You were a better measurer than the other measurers? You must have really enjoyed it?
