People,

So it's been almost a year now since I quit the glug-glug-happy-now-wait-getting- sad-punching-things-crying-throwing up world that is heavy drinking, and that's a good thing. A bad thing is that it seems that now is the time to part with a very dear friend of mine who has served me well but now really has no place in my life. That friend, folks, is my beautiful knit Budweiser sweater seen below:


Anyway, this is the best piece of clothing I've ever owned and I never cease to get compliments on it. However, the time has come to pass it along to another generation of people just starting to throw years of their lives away.

And what better way to unload this gem than with a contest? Here are the rules: If you want this sweater then please write me an essay (100 words of less) describing 1) why you deserve it and 2) how you will give it a good home. Send all entries to joe@fooledbyapril.com with "Budweiser" in the subject line. Foreign entries are encouraged as I will ship this baby to its new home regardless of location.

OK, get crackin people!
