wow, i am still just about speechless. (since someone made the last thread NSFW, I'll start a new one, it deserves one anyway)
I woke up about 2pm this afternoon, sleeping off my new part-time night shift gig at the hospital. Check the house phone, no messages, cell phone: one message. "Brian, this is Dave at TGR, I have a special offer for you, give me a call when you get this message" man I am still groggy, I'll call him in a bit. Go down, check emails, call the wife. Alright time for some coffee.....wait I'll call TGR first, its kinda wierd that someone would be calling my cell phone number from there, but who knows.
Ring, ring. "thank you for calling TGR" entered the appropriate extension, more rings (man its too early for this, i'm still not fully awake yet).
"This is Dave"
"This is Brian you called my phone earlier today"
"please hold on a second"
click, pause, click
"Brian where have you been skiing?"
uh, i have to think, wait, what is going on here "uh, Colorado mainly, its where I live"
"Well I got something for you. How would you like to go skiing in Alaska?"
"Uh, um, that's something that I can't really afford" now thinking that this is some kind of promo that TGR is running special deals for customers or something.
"No you just won the 5 day heli skiing at Alaska Rendezvous Heli-Guides" http://www.arlinc.com/
pause
"what, wait......HOLY SHIT, (who actually knows what the hell i said here, but there was a lot of cursing and yelling in a celebration.)"
the conversation contiues to where I realize that he didn't know that I was a poster. I somehow manage to spit that out that I post on the board. He was excited to hear that "one of our own won" He picked a number from the online entries.
This afternoon I call MD9 in order to make sure dinner plans with him and GT40 are still on and find out that he broke his collar bone this afternoon goofing off at Breck. Well what's the prognosis? "6-8 weeks" ok so that is mid march or so.
At dinner I lean over and tell MD,
"look I am going to give you a real good reason to heal up fast" A puzzled look follows as I tell him.
"you and me are going to get on a plane sometime in the next few months, fly to Valdez, Alaska, get on a whirlybird and go heli-skiing for 5 days."
Now he is really confused and I finally really spill it
"I won the grand prize from the TGR sweepstakes. 5 days heli-skiing at Rendezvous Heli-Guides"
Now he is speechless, turns out some weird coinsidence that I was sitting underneath a brick at Lodo's that someone had written VALDEZ on. Jibij took a pic.
So fricking stoked right now. Don't know what to do with myself. But since I am at work, I'll go do it and check back here later.
TGR, you guys rock!!!!
