The Drought
With the holidays about here, I feel in a giving mood. Well, I did until I read the Random Game entries this week. I could be wrong but it's my estimation that of the countless posts made, there were about twenty "entry" type posts. Most of them came from Miss Aimee, who, surprisingly or not, wins the big 30 tokens again this week.

Holiday shopping tip #2:
Sometimes those holiday lines can get a little long. Be sure to complain loudly and frequently; listening to your whining is great entertainment for your fellow shoppers.

Holiday shopping tip #5:
Malls can be very scenic places during the holiday season. Be sure to walk as slow as possible so you don't miss the scenery. Believe me, the other shoppers will appreciate you for not making them feel rushed.

The old format never existed. There was NEVER an "old format." The old format is just a story made up by those "titans" to get more tokens. And all of you bleeding heart liberals fell for it!!!! I feel sorry all of you are so gullible. Everybody knows that there was NO old format.

Today I realized that I wrote the wrong date on ALL of my final exams. Oh well, At least I'm not taking current events.
Oh she did have a Holiday Tip #1, 3, 4, and 6, too. . .so maybe not exactly as random as it first appears. Speaking of what's random and what's not -- I'm going to award two people whose posts won't be singled out. First, CowKosmo--he made a couple posts about how we should forget "titles" and just concentrate on being random and/or funny. So, he failed to be random and/or funny in those posts, so what? 20 tokens.
The second person who gets tokens without a "winning" post is Elmo417729. Most of you may not think he's been funny, but I did. So there. Actually, it wasn't him that was funny, so much as everyone's outraged reactions to him. I don't care if he's someone's alias or not, he's getting 20 tokens. Now he just has to work on branching out to other topics.
On to the 15-token winners...who actually do have winning posts.

I just found out that I'm stuck here in the hell Berkeley calls the dorms for another semester... It seems that there was only one room avialable in the house I wanted to move into, and that room went to another girl who otherwise would have nowhere to live next semsester... I really think she could've learned a lot from living on the street, but oh well.

25 tokens to Goo, because I haven't given him enough tokens this year. And 25 tokens to Astronia, who I've probably given too many.

I brought my stuffed cat ta school one day. People kept hugging it. Then when I got home I found human head hair on it. I then thought "People are shedding on my cat." I then realized something else. "That's something ya don't hear everyday."
No winners file would be complete without someone for ragging on TRG. This week? There's two! Here's the 10-token winners.

The Random Game is like a high speed computer which was kicked down the stairs several times, painted black, and then sold as a toaster.
