Default Help me rbr, you're my only hope.

1) I'm in the short-ish list for a contest to win a car. Basically, at
this point I have a 1:10 chance.

Background:

http://www.marketwire.com/press-rele...nc-962882.html

2) rbr is the smartest group of people I know. Yes, I'm that desperate.
Any creative suggestions as to how to embarrass myself in the most
creative fashion possible would be greatly appreciated. Since my current
Expected Value is about $1500, I have a modest budget for interesting
ideas.

BTW, this is unrelated, but did anyone notice that I set up a LIVEDRUNK
jersey order in another thread? If you want one, the design is ready,
you just have to order. Price will depend on the type of jersey you
select; the Hampsten-winning-Gavia pink jerseys are substantially
discounted.

Tell them something about crowdsourcing from dumbasses....er, I hoped
to finish with a funny joke.

Got nothing.

Sorry.

Will think a bit.

Why is LIVEDRUNK unrelated? It seems like the obvious answer.

LIVEDRUNK driving is PR-unfriendly.

How about the method those guys came up with to get free beer? Why
reinvent the wheel? Maybe you could test drive one of those cars and
tell them you found a mouse in it, eh?

BTW, I saw something amazing today- a mountain biker being towed up a
steep hill by a horse. He was holding onto a handful of the horse's
tail.

dumbass,

i was on a ride on sunday in a group of six when we came up to a horse
and rider on the grass on the side of the road. when we were about
200m behind the horse a driver coming the other way honked at us, for
whatever reason the horse was spooked and bolted diagonally across the
road and dumped the rider right on the pavement and ran down the road.
she was actually knocked out cold.

there happened to be an off duty cop who was passing by who
immediately called another officer. i stuck around a while, but i
don't know what the extent of the rider's injuries were.

I'll bet that the person in the car who started the whole thing either is unaware
that anything happened, or got a good laugh out of it.
