If you receive a bundled prize package from a radio station, you probably won't get equal use out of each item. You might drink many beverages from a radio station coffee mug, wear a station t-shirt, or enjoy listening to a CD you've won. When one of the prizes is something you didn't expect, however...
...In the early '90s, I won a bundle of prizes from a soft rock station. Although I used most of them, there was one prize I could never bring myself to use. It was a comedy improvisation board game. Members of my family and I have enjoyed the talented improvisers' wit on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" for years. Still, I couldn't imagine asking them, "Say, how about playing a game in which we cackle like witches, quack like ducks, and pretend we're celebrities selling concessions at a baseball stadium?"
That just isn't us--and that's OK. I think we'd all agree that dignity is a virtue.
Incidentally, this is my 1,000th post in as many days on musicandradiomusings.blogspot.com. Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed anywhere from one to 1,000 of the posts I've written so far.
