Winner! Winner!! The Underground Gives Stuff Away
By Tom Chandler on Mar 30, 2008 in Contest
If it’s one thing the Underground’s all about, it’s our committment to delivering better than you puffs deserve lots of free stuff.
After I put an extremely valuable well, free copy of Patrick McManus’ Kerplunk! on the line, we spared no expense in our search for a cheap and easy unimpeachably fair method of determining a winner.
Once again, I ended up at Random.org — the free online random number generator which costs nothing uses atmospheric noise to generate truly random integers (a rarity in the computer world).
I carefully removed the duplicate posts, fired up Random.org, and picked the comment posted by Alert Underground Freeloader Reader Mad Dog.
[sfx: crowd going wild, confetti being thrown, Hooters Girls running on stage, ballons popping, yadda yadda…]
And that’s not all:
Final “Has the Recession/Gas Prices Affected Your Fishing Plans” Poll Numbers:
Yes - 77
No - 111
There you are. Free literature and quality public polling data. Clearly, it’s Pulitzer Year at the Underground, baby. A Pulitzer.

Hooray for TC,
The Mad Dog says thanks…
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.

At least nobody’s screaming “fix” this time. That’s an improvement.
