Surprise

[edited 01092006]

Maybe the brighter spot was before Christmas. Even though I wasn't there I won a prize pack at the Christmas party. (It was on a Saturday when yours truly was producing a newscast, thank you very much.)

It was billed as a Xxxxxxxx prize pack but included:
• a season six (?) Xxxxxxxx DVD set, with the packaging in the shape of Xxxxx's head. Xx xxxxxx xx "xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx" xxx xxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxxx xx xxx 6 XXXs
• a Xxxxxxxx tin toy, depicting Xxxxx and Xxx standing at Xxx's bar pool table. Wind it up, set the balls loose, and Xxxxx and Xxx play pool; whoever gets more points for balls in holes is the winner. Unfortunately, the mechanism tends to get stuck before Xxxxx and Xxx get very far
• a season one DVD set of Enterprise, which I am probably going to watch a few of before I send to my parents
• a Xxxxxx Xxx DVD set (oops, that disappeared between the party and the station somehow -- the theory is that someone else took it by mistake)
• two Xxxxxx Xxx visors
• a set of coasters with the xxxxxxx's station logos inlaid in pewter/stainless steel

Then there was also in the box presented to me a box of 12 golf balls. I figured, well, hey, that's totally something I could hawk on eBay.

Then I opened one of the boxes.

The golf balls have the xxxxxxx's station logos printed on them.

Ah, well. Maybe I could go buy a secondhand driver, drive up to the competion's front windows and start whacking. FORE! crashhhhh!

It would be fun but I'm not going to do it.

Instead, I'm probably going to find somebody in my family -- maybe one of my uncles -- who golfs and hand them off to him. Not that it's golf season right now, of course.
