Revive!
At a ninigret park race (real one, not a training one), there was a "so-and-so had to clear his closet out" prime. A stack of 1983 Playboys (or something like that), two other things (beer? chocolate?).

A year or two ago around here someone won a ping pong table. He had no way to get it home, nowhere to put it at home, and whoever had donated it had left long before. I think he ended up just leaving it at the side of the road or something... There wasn't even a church hall or anything around to donate it to.
And then he posted a really angry (and unintentionally hilarious) letter on the regional Google group to complain about it. Good stuff. (but kind of sad too; I imagine someone could've really enjoyed that ping pong table)
I've won a lot of car wash tokens... But my car is so crap that I can't be bothered to take the time to go wash it. Also won some 'apple pie' flavored Clif shots... Obviously they weren't selling in the sponsoring shop. A curious taste, but I didn't mind too much. I've kept the box as a divider in one of my cycling stuff odds n' ends drawers in my basement - as a souvenir.

Guiltless Gourmet bag of chips and salsa (they used to sponsor a pro cycling team)
The BIO crit always had odd preme's. Usually food/alcohol related.
I want to know if Racer Ex used his preme.

This thread needs more pix.
July 18, 1982, Winnsboro TX. They called a prime at 2 laps to go (I thought) so I went for the win... but the lap card still said 2 to go when I got the prime. So, yeah, I didn't win the race. But I won this watermelon.
July 2011. Rockwall TX. I was chatting during the start line briefing. During the race, the man rang the bell and all I could understand was "garble garble SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS garble garble" so I ripped my legs off to get the prime.
I am no smarter than I used to be, but my sense of humor is better.

How about "haircut" prime's from the local beauty salon. Or local bike shop certificates. Usually give stuff like that to one of the local's.
Split a $500 carpet shop prime, with a break partner. We sold it for $100.

Creak, you look younger in the irrigation shot than the watermelon one. I dunno how you do that.

Well, if I were to guess, he looks 40 in the first picture, but about 30 in the second.
No offense to the 1982 Creak.
btw I thought of something. You should get another watermelon and replicate that shot on that spot next July 18th. 30th anniversary of that shot.

Don't project. It would be Sophie's Choice if I needed them though. One is a sport that costs a lot of money for the amount of time you actually spend doing it, most wives barely tolerate, and mostly ends in disappointment. The other tests for Viagra.

So if I have an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours I'm supposed to see my doctor...I mean I like my doctor and everything, but not in that way

If you get an erection lasting more than 4 hours, does the hooker give you a refund?

Won a Ronald Reagan T-shirt. Even had to pull over and dry retch for a while afterwards. My least favorite president.
Just wanted to come home to Mrs F and say " I won this for you"!. She hates him even more.
