Shrek Skittles
I got some Skittles from the vending machine. There’s a contest. If all the Skittles have a picture of Shrek on them, you win $10,000. Unfortunately, the contest ended 12/31/04. I’d have been really pissed if I opened up the Skittles to find a bunch of Shrek [Read More]

5th place in the country…
In the midst of feeling like sh-t, I am 5th in CNNSI.com’s NCAA pool. ESPN has millions of entries. CNNSI has to have at least tens of thousands, although they don’t say anywhere. They only give prizes to the top three… My CNNSI bracket (8/8 in [Read More]
