Sun, Apr 1 2007 - Win A Date With El Rey (View Original Event Details)
|  |
The silence is deafening - no really, it's just really quiet - as the TOC member body waits with bated breath to find out the winner of The Date with El Rey....But first an update, since I actually got to spend yesterday with the eligible desperate man himself, I can assure you that he's 100% committed to this event. Unfortunately inanimate objects were not eligible since those of us "in the know" (anyone who's been on an camping trip with El Rey) will know that he loves his AXE.
It was a tough decision...there were so many great candidates.
Special mention goes to Matt, who was really just looking to use El Rey for his truck...can we call Matt a "truck slut" now?
A second special mention goes to Kim, who had the best "Notes" response:
Notes: That he is Easy
How did she KNOW? It must have been the fact that he ISN'T WEARING PANTS.
We had two winners, but we want you to know that you are all winners for actually considering going on a date with El Rey and some of you even KNOW him and still agreed to go on a date. Since the dates went national (well, it got leaked to the Calgary Outdoor Club) we had to set him up with a special date to be held when he's out west this summer...the winner of the Calgary contingent is......
Marty entered a completely inside joke between me and him that had to do with hunting bears and using the bear fat to make lovely soap, but really Marty and El Rey are a match made in heaven. I hope Rhonda doesn't mind and I'm sure she can tag along for their date...
However the moment you've all been waiting for: The Toronto Winner is:
Hey, she coordinated the event, so she got to pick the winner...and really, was that a sigh of relief I heard from the rest of you? Actually, she also wins for going on a limb and changing her medical concerns to "Syphillis" not realizing that changing it on one event will change your medical status throughout the whole website, giving Julian quite the shocking insight when he pulled up her medical record for Saturday's hike.
Thanks everyone for playing and El Rey will be sure to give you a special thank you when you attend his next event - or when he gets out to Calgary this weekend...
Just when we thought we had a clear winner and happy contestants, the TOC exec has received the following missive!
Dear Coordinators of the "Win A Date With El Rey" event:
Please be advised that I will be launching a civil suit against the TOC
due to the obviously rigged outcome of this contest.
In good faith I entered your contest, and I do believe that I was the best
candidate to win your contest, being not only female (which, under certain
laws of certain gods is the only legal union when the partner is a male)
but also 1/8 sasquatch. You made a very forward thinking move in inviting
sasquatches to participate in your contest, but I believe that was just a
ruse designed to make you LOOK inclusive when in fact, there was no
contest at all, and no opportunity for someone of the sasquatch race to
win. This was a blatant grab at a date with El Rey for one of the actual
event coordinators herself!
Expect to hear from my lawyer, and if I don't get satisfaction through
legal means, I know where you live and will come to Toronto personally to
take my own justice in the ancient Sasquatch way (ie. I will poo on your
front step).
Sincerely,
Rhonda from Calgary
