I’ll take. I can’t buy you a beer, though, unless it’s either in Canada or in three years…
That’s OK, Racinchikki. You’ve been entered in the drawing.
The drawing will be held at 9:00pm, CDT. (Unfortunately, the Ryskid is a little sick and in bed, so I’ll have to do the drawing myself. I again swear by the Holy Name of Cecil to be fair and impartial.)
Bzzzzzzzt! Time’s up! The drawing is now underway.
And the winner is…
racinchikki!
I’ll email you and ask for your address. Upon receipt of your address, the Lucky Mountain Dew Bottle Cap, along with the instructions on how to claim your prize, will be mailed to you post haste.
The game was RIGGED, I tells ya!
I even offered peanuts 
Oh, spiffy!
So rigged. I demand a recount!
low angry voice, trembling slightly
I’ll remember this rysdad… i’ll remember this!
points as he backs out of the room
Don’t you think I won’t!
This goes for ALL of you CHEATERS!!
Shucks, now I feel bad. It was an honest drawing, I promise.
Let’s see…I must have something else around here I can raffle off to make everyone feel better…
Let’s see…I’ve got a drawer full of old TV remotes that I don’t use. I’ve got 5 AC --> DC converters that I don’t even remember came with which devices. How about an aquarium that hasn’t held fish in 10 years?
Hell, I won’t even raffle those. You want em, come get 'em.
Hmmmm…
Those remotes - they wouldn’t happen to have batteries still in them, would they? Cos I keep forgetting to pick some up …
we Minnesota Dopers get together again. Any takers? chique can pay back that beer, and everyone else can harass Rysdad for being such a nice guy and raffling off his stuff.
imthjckaz and I would be willing to hold it here. Any takers, or other suggestions?

Congrats racinchikki, may your prize bring you many minutes of joy and happiness.
You won fair and square, no threats, no bribery, no recounts, no investigations, no hanging chads.
No, just pure damn luck.
Rysdad, you got any good stuff you don’t want. Other than the endless supply of batteries that chique seems to need for her…uh… enjoyment.
I’m game. Maybe we could hold a garage sale or something to collect money for chique’s energy needs.
I know…a battery lottery! Proceeds to be split evenly between the winner and a Everyready gift certificate for the D-cell deprived.
Har de har har. Har 
D-cells won’t fit in my remote, ya smartasses 
And I was in the grocery store tonight and I STILL forgot to pick some up. sigh
Another Dopefest would be great - but not til June for me; just too busy with stuff around here right now. I have to move and I have a garage sale to prepare for Want to plan this go-round, Spider?
would be willing to plan another mini-Dope Fest and have it here at our house, but we will probably do a polling first to see when is good for most people and how much interest there is.
