I've got some cups and beads that I caught at Mardi Gras in New Orleans :-))

Okay, I have to change my contribution to the winner. Since I did not lose any money on Thursday and Friday, I decide to take my old lady out to celebrate, so I am going to take the Heineken to the Sizzler across the street ... The new prize for the winner is (Bald Man's contribution) Since I work in the postal office, and you guys have been using E-mail so much that nobody is going to send regular mails any more, my boss agrees to let me buy some of the stamps at a discount ... So, my personal contribution will be 5 books of 32 cents stamps (20 stamps in one book), so the total value is 5 * 20 * 0.32 = $32 ... Plus, I am not going to pay $100 to ship that case of Heineken. So, Tastes Like Chicken, Can you send me your address in a private message, so that you can safekeep my contribution ... This is serious, no joking ...

Can you add a free Bucket from KFC to the prize pool?

Isn't it obvious what the grand prize should be? The winner should get a spam-free, bash-free, flame-free and hype-free thread all his own where he can set the subject matter to anything he wishes for as long as he is on SI. The losers would be responsible for policing and enforcement. Now THAT would be a prize.

I think SI should kick in a free membership for the top trial member. That way all could benefit by being able to see my picks in the future, as I expect to win :-)
