    Okay, so I start refreshing at 4pm, and I continue refreshing until Prop Day, right?

    Huh. Guess I was wrong. Lol. I could have sworn I read that the 9th there would be a run, then the 11th there would be a run, then the 13th or something like that all winners would be confirmed. My bad.

    "Though your story about the good friends you have made while drinking Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout was very compelling, this year's entries were highly competitive, and our selection committee has decided not to offer you admission to our festival at this time. We encourage you to re-apply again next year."

    See, now this is the kind of cross-thread synergy that keeps me coming back to the Great Lakes forum.

    I didn't even enter and I've already gotten 4 emails begging me to attend. For the last time Goose Island, no means NO! Congrats to everyone who lost for not having to put up with these huge hassle emails!

    Mine commented that they’d have accepted the entry, but realized the iambic pentameter structure wasn’t followed correctly. Shocked they are reading each one.

    I can see it now, hoarders and flippers hiring hundreds of mules to work in soup kitchens.

    Mine reads as follows:

    Dear beloved friend,

    I know this message will come to you as a surprise, but permit me of my desire to go into a business relationship with you...

    Then something about this Goose's late father dying in an African civil war, but having a large inheritance. He just needs my account and routing number, so that he can get the money to America, and I can 20% of the $5m as a thank you fee...

    Seems legit

    I only remembered to enter twice. Not expecting a win over here.

    Inbev sirens are going off "This guy only submitted twice, we haven't hooked him on BCBS yet? Get his ass into Prop Day and make sure we get him addicted!"

    They've already given me 5 of the 8 of this year's variants so hopefully the alarm is that they need to get me the other 3 especially since Prop wasn't one of the ones I've had.

    Okay that is IT!


    You've made some incendiary comments on this board before, but humblebragging about free variants is beyond the pale, sir!
