Wow. I'm shocked.
I got one of those ads, the ones that say "If Flashing you have been selected! You won a free thing!" (plus spam for life). It wasn't flashing.
How 'bout that? My luck finally ran out. After more than a thousand wins, my streak is over. I've been the 1000th, 50000th, and 1000000th visitor to more sites than I care to count. I've won fabulous vacations, DVD players and deals too wonderful to mention in the ad copy itself. I've had the offer of cameras, free pornographic subscriptions and free email for life.
I'm sad now, as I never claimed any of these things. I had fabulous opportunities, but it looks like my salad days are over. If only I hadn't been so cocky! I could live in a world of free electronics, porn and vacations to exotic cancun or Disney. But no, I never believed the hype, and now I never will have a chance for those wonders.
It's time to hang up my mouse. My stuff-winnin' days are over.
