Default I actually won

My kid and her friend were playing the games at the radio station booth at the county fair on Sunday. I was watching them, and the guy in the booth asked if I wanted to fill out a free entry form for their drawing. I figured, what the heck. I got a message last night that I won and that I should come down to the station and claim my prize. I never win anything.
It turned out to be a Christian radio station and the prize was two goody bags filled up with Christian rock CDs, Veggie Tales DVDs, Christian literature and some Radio station T-shirts.

BTW, I actually wrote the software that ran the Veggie Tale Kiosks in the malls where a parent could purchase a custom made CD with all of the songs singing directly to that child's name. CD's were burned on demand. Zero Inventory Model.

Was pretty cool for it's time. In fact, I think Blockbuster stole my idea with their DVD Kiosks.

Thats pretty cool.
My kid really likes Veggie Tales. There were also some Narnia DVDs in there, so she's actually the winner.

Is Larry the Cucumber out of the joint yet?






I don't know what he was in for, but I heard he can't come within a 100 yards of schools or playgrounds!
