It pays to drink


Jacob M.

Recommended Posts

A couple months ago I bought a 6 pack of Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat. I noticed they were running a sweepstakes. Without much thought I entered the codes. It's not like I ever win anyway. Nothing happened so I eventually forgot about it. Over a month later I received a strange e-mail from UPS. I thought it was fake, but decided to open it anyway. It was sent at the request of Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. It appeared they were sending me a package. I couldn't figure out why. I thought I hadn't won the contest and that was it. Guess I was wrong. I became one of 40 winners in their first drawing of the summer.

 

On July 7th my package arrived. Inside was a backpack, shirt, hat w/ bottle opener, bottle opener, bottle holder, and glass.

Sometimes it does pay to drink.

Nice score, mate. Via drinking Hahn Super Dry I recently won an Australian World Cup soccer scarf, beanie... and yeah, you know it - cape. My bro kept the beanie and cape and I got the scarf. :)

 

In related news, a few years ago when I was jobless I penned a few awkward novels, and enjoyed it. Since I met my wife I haven't really had time or opportunity to pen anything more, but recently I got some moments to pen a short story, which came out quite poorly, and even more recently (since the weekend) I started a new "novel." The catch, I wrote the entire short story, and everything of my new work, while I was under the influence. I just sit there drinking beers and writing stuff. At the time it seems pretty cool and I seem to pen some decent stuff that might not otherwise come to me. I haven't read back over a lot of it, but what I have doesn't seem too dampened by the juice...

  • 2024 HH Donation Drive

    Please support Heavy Harmonies! The donations goal is the out-of-pocket expenses to run the main site and this board for calendar year 2024.

    • Well... I mean... it's true.   Time once again to nag/beg/plead/insult (wait, what?) to help out covering Heavy Harmonies' expenses. Costs for the site run roughly US$195 a month, roughly the same as last several years.  So when I say "costs", what do I mean? It's the out-of-pocket expenses to keep Heavy Harmonies running: server lease, bandwidth, hosting support, and the subscription for this forum software, domain registration. The 2023 drive did pretty well, reaching 83% of goal of covering the annual costs. Let's see if we can meet, or better yet, beat that goal! The donation drive will run through Halloween, October 31.   Anyone who makes a single donation of $20 or more and has a board username will be added to the group "2024 Donors". This gets you the following benefits: A nice shiny icon in your profile showing that you are an HH Donor for 2024:  An increase in the size of your PM storage from 200 to 500 messages An increase in image attachment/upload storage from 20MB to 50MB Exempt from the search flood control (normally if you try and do a search more than every 10 seconds, you get an annoying little "please wait" message) No time limit on editing your own posts! This will especially be useful for those with trade/sale lists as you'll be able to edit them rather than posting revised versions. A warm fuzzy feeling inside that you are helping support Heavy Harmonies! If you donate $50 during the drive, either as a single donation or across multiple donations, you will be added to the group "2024 Gold Donors". This gets you the following in addition to the above: A bigger, shiny badge:  All your posts will be highlighted, because if you show this much dedication to HH, what you have to say is obviously more more important! (just kidding, but your posts will be accentuated). The ability to create a forum "signature" that will be added to all of your posts. If you donate using buttons on the main site, please put your board username in the notes section, and if you donate from here on the forum, please PM me the email address that you sent the donation from! Otherwise I have no way to tie your donation to your membership here on the board. If you are currently in the 2023 donor groups but don't wish to donate this year (or can't), at the beginning of the donation drive, your group membership features will revert to the regular non-donator membership group. Membership in the 2024 Donors group will last until the beginning of next year's donation drive, at which point you can donate again to remain in the Donors group with the same benefits, or revert back to your current member group. PayPal donation buttons are found at the top of all the pages on the main site and here on the forum on the right side at the top, or if you'd prefer to send a money order, check, or cash (not recommended, but I know some people prefer to do so), you can make payable to Dan Harding and send to: Heavy Harmonies P.O. Box 17021 Urbana, IL 61803 USA If you can't give $20, give $10... if you can't give $10, give $5... it's just once a year. (And if you happen to be fortunate enough to be earning gobs of money, please feel free to give bunches! I'm not opposed to having a sugar daddy... or seven.) As always, your support is greatly appreciated! -Dan
