I remember those commercials! Doubt they still do ‘em, but giant checks for contests still exist, because my kids got to pose with one this weekend when their STEM teacher won a local grant contest. So we can add “giant checks” to the list of random and unexpected stuff my kids have experienced. P.S. You are indeed hilarious. Verified.
Oh, yeah, they DO do giant checks for things– in roller derby we had a charity we’d donate to for each bout we skated, and at the end of the season I think we did a big thing where we gave each charity their final tally and it was with giant checks, at least once, and I was like IS THIS REAL and CAN I POSE WITH THE GIANT FAKE MONEY and they were not amused. (I mean. I was like. Thirty-two. I really should have been a bit more mature about it. But it was so funny, and I couldn’t help it.)
I screenshotted the convo and sent it to Middle-Little and she was like OH MY GOD I WISH they’d come to my office like the Prize Patrol! as it was she just gave awkward in-person notice to the dean, who loves her but can’t afford her, and emailed everyone else, and is like now i have to pretend to be nice to everyone ugh.
I’m glad someone on the Internet thinks I’m funny. I should make myself a little certificate. Semi-relatedly I was cleaning and found this package of inkjet-printable certificates and gold sticker seals that say OFFICIAL on them and now I’m plotting what the hell I can make certificates out of. (I have a vague memory that I stole them from work when they were being thrown out. Nobody remembers why they were there.) Maybe I can make a “Someone On The Internet Thinks You’re Funny” certificate for myself, lol.
