Crappy PrizesCompetitions, raffles, give-aways... sure the prizes look great, but don't they always turn out a bit crap should you happen to win them?
The last raffle I bought tickets for, they'd just given away the all-expenses paid weekend in New York when my number came up. Rushing up to find out what I'd won, I was a little disappointed to be handed a box of "Biscuits for Cheese". Especially as they were busy serving the cheese course (complete with biscuits) as they drew the raffle.

oh, here's oneI have a long tradition of thinking of QOTW answers a couple of days after the relevant QOTW closes. Which is why I don't have more posts. The crappy prize part of this one is at the bottom.
My friends have a tradition. If someone is holding a drink, you suddenly say, "Hey [insert name], are you a buffalo?" They have to immediately say, "You bet your sweet ass I am!" Failure to answer in this way means they have to finish the drink.
In addition, when this question is asked everyone mentally adds the date number to the month number (ie, March 4 = 7). If the resulting number is odd you have to drink if your drink is in your right hand, and vice versa for even/left.
Why a buffalo? What does it all mean? I have no idea.
Okay, I had to get that out. Now a crappy prize: at a holiday white elephant gift exchange for a company I worked at, I ended up with a crocheted potholder featuring the San Francisco 49ers logo.
