5) trip for 2 to Cayo Coco Cuba (7 days)

I won free pizza and soda for a year in college at a basketball game once for racing an RC car during halftime - oblique Oct 17, 08:59 1

People don't realize that free blank for a year isn't really what it says on the tin. I'd go with Calgary. But they wouldn't let me into the country. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 08:50 5
- I once won free bread for a year. They sent me 52 coupons of a loaf a piece. I'd never eat that much bread. - Meg Oct 17, 09:16 1
  - nice IM! -- nm - psilotum Oct 17, 09:47

  - I have a DUI from a decade ago. (I learned my lesson.) -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 09:50
- correct. unknown how much it is (my guess is around $4k as they had $4k spending sprees at a couple other places that got the boot earlier) -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:56
Gotta be the kitchen. -- nm - Meg Oct 17, 08:31 1
- of the 3 complete sets, it would be (we just got new furniture and dining room within the past 5 years) -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:33
trip for 2 to Cayo Coco Cuba (7 days) -- nm - Dano Oct 17, 08:28
cuba -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 17, 08:28 8
- this is likely what we do...I cannot convey how mad she was at Vegas getting the boot though - Beaker Oct 17, 08:30 7
  - who would rather go to vegas than get a new kitchen? -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 17, 08:54 1
    - we've never been :) (plus our kitchen stuff is in good shape) -- (edited) - Beaker Oct 17, 09:21
  - Why is it narrowing the prizes? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 08:32 4
    - the contest is called The Eliminator :) . caller 93 gets to eliminate 1 prize. they started with 36 - Beaker Oct 17, 08:34 3
      - I just realized that "free gas" meant "free gasoline", not natural gas. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 08:42 2
        
        it would be fine, but would drive me crazy. Might be free but I could still get it for 7 cents a litre cheaper at Costco than other stations -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 08:48 1
        
        It cost me $93 to fill up from a quarter tank on Saturday. -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 17, 08:50
1 or 3 -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 08:28
