- I planned on purchasing tickets to the Wolves-Bulls game that takes place in March.
- We needed--yes, needed--frozen pizzas.
- The market had coupons glued to one of its freezer doors, stating that the purchase of two Green Mill pizzas would yield two tickets to any Timberwolves home game.
- Green Mill pizzas are not very good, and they're definitely not worth $7 a pop.
- But two tickets and two pizzas for $14? I figured, why not.
- Here's what the T-Wolves front office needed in exchange for the tickets: the coupon from the market, a copy of my receipt, proofs of purchase from each pizza box, a form stating to which game I'd like tickets.
- I was surprised they didn't ask for video of me eating the pizza to ensure that I didn't just throw it away.
- I almost took care of sending in all the necessary documentation right away, but to do so I would have had to scan said documentation (for my own records).
- Because I didn't feel like plugging my computer into the printer, the papers didn't get scanned and the request for tickets was not mailed.
- Kate and I made and ate the pizzas over the next few days, and we confirmed that Green Mill pizzas are not very good.
- But, hey. Even when pizza's not very good, it's still pizza.
- At least, that's what I tell myself after eating mediocre pizza.
- Today I realized that I forgot to remove the proofs of purchase from both of the Green Mill boxes.
- The trashman picked up recycling on Thursday, so those boxes are long gone.
- I'm debating whether or not it's worth buying two more pizzas (which would bring my total up to $28) for tickets that probably go for $10 a piece at face value.
You tell anybody anything and I will carve my initials in your brain dish. I'll bash your skull into a vegematic like a bad cabbage, and I'll have a party on your head. - Angela to Jerry in "The Good Samaritan"
