My brother and I have been drinking Yoo-hoo. There’s a contest going on, the “pick your own stinkin’ prize” contest. A few months ago, we collected some “prize” caps. Yesterday I found a “winner” cap. We need both the “winner” and the “prize” caps to get a prize. Now, here’s the problem. Brother has the prize caps. I have the winner cap. We’ve decided to pool our resources, but what prize should we get? Brother wants a hacky-sack. I want a bandanna. Which should we get? At 6:30, we’ll tally up the responses. We’ll send off for whatever has the most votes. Bandanna or Hacky-sack. Your choice. ---

what the hell is a hacky-sack? Does it look as gay as a bandana? ---

Pictures of prizes: [http://www.drinkyoo-hoo.com/stinkin/utc/prizes.html](http://www.drinkyoo-hoo.com/stinkin/utc/prizes.html) A hacky-sack is a bead-filled ball. It is used to play the game “Hacky-sack.” The object of the game “Hacky-sack” is to keep the hacky-sack in the air using only your feet. ---

well the ‘Yoohoo’ bandana is so camp its not even funny. At least the bean ball is vaguely sporty and thus manly. Take the ball and leave the queer rag behind. ---

I say get the bandana and buy your own [footbag](http://www.footbag.org/) from someone who’s serious about the sport. ---

Okay, it’s the end of the hour and Brother and I are tied. I guess I’ll wait a another half-hour, and if we’re still tied after that, another. Surely someone else will have replied by then. Thanks, xcheopis and Y.T, for your votes. ---

I’d go for the Bandana. A Yoo-hoo Bandana is cool. A yoo-hoo hackysack is stupid. ---

Please go for the hacky-sack she is winning by a stupid bandana. ---

Thank-you everyone who participated in the poll. The voting booths are now closed. I’m getting a Yoo-Hoo bandana!
