There was a flyer in my local paper this past winter extolling the virtues of the Outaouis region of Quebec. Since I can be anal about reading flyers, I flipped through it and noticed there was an online contest. Hey I said to myself, this could be the one I finally win!
So I entered daily for next three months until the contest ended. Then last week I get this email which looked like porn spam (Don’t ask how I know, I just do.) saying Stevo, you’ve won.
No joke! Turns out I won $2000 worth of gift certificates for restaurants, ski resorts, golf resorts and cultural activities in the Outaouis region.
In total they had 2300 entries and I probably had close to 100 of them alone.
As if that wasn’t good enough, I came home that night and noticed there was some mail in my box from the acounting firm KPMG which manages the Ottawa Civic Hospital Lottery, one of those $100 ticket draws, for which Kim and I had split a ticket. Turns out we won a birding telescope.
As if I can’t spot a turkey already.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
