Tell 'em what they've won, Don Pardo!Our Chicken Fees went through the roof this year. Tons and tons of loot, mostly in fives, with a few ones mixed in for variety. The grand total? $300.
Whoa.
As Andrew "Stonewall" Jackson once said, "To the victor go the spoils." That statement rings true for Presidential elections and Mantastic 2008 contest winners.
Here's how it's going to work out:
1. Voters will be voting in for a winner in each category. Once those winners are determined, an overall winner will be elected from a pool consisting of the winners of each category.
2. Woo hoo!
3. The category winners will each win a cash prize totaling $30. Not bad for a month of doing not much.
4. The overall winner, the Grand Champion, will win $120 in addition to the $30 he won for his category.
5. Whoa. Even better for not doing much.
It's an embarrassment of riches, but it's really not embarrassing enough. Last time we ran this thing, we had prizes flowing in from all over the globe. King Tut tissue boxes, salami, Man O War CDs, squeeze mayonnaise, Mantastic mirrors, Fusion razors, etc. It was a prize avalanche. So far, we've had one prize donation, and while that's very nice, wouldn't it be cooler if the prize packages swelled to ridiculous proportions? I think so.
Adam Gerardin is out at lunch today canvassing for prizes. I'm hitting my neighborhood, knocking on doors. Do you know a generous soul who loves facial hair?
