I’m not going to officially tag anyone, but whomever reads and is interested, please go right ahead and tag yourownself. This one’s actually kind of fun.
And now, to matters of a more controversial nature . . .
WHAT WOULD YOU DO . . .
If you entered a contest that required you to think carefully, to write something, to use wit and skill and intuition . . . and if you WON that contest, fair and square . . . and if the advertised major awards for winning that contest included a photograph of a certain famous blogger, in certain signature attire pertaining to said blogger AND a certain simple carb concoction known as “the San Francisco treat” . . . and if once it had been publicly announced that you were the winner of that contest, said famous blogger who originated, promoted, and judged said contest emailed your winning ass and said, “the Rice-a-Roni offer was a total scam . . . I must confess to complete fibbery regarding the San Francisco Treat.”
This, dear readers, is the unfortunate situation in which I find myself today. I planned my menu, as well as my grocery budget, around the fact that I would be receiving somewhere between one box and a year’s supply (a girl can dream!) of the SFT. But no. I was scammed. Now I ask you,
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
UPDATE: Sunday morning. The scammer in question has cried “uncle.” She has been given a suggestion of a way to atone for her offenses. We shall await her response as to whether she is willing to take her punishment like a LADY.
