Does anybody know anyone who's won something in the McDonald's Monopoly game? Ever?
Seriously. They've been doing that game for wha, 15? 20 years? During that time, I've lived in Phoenix, Chicago, Las Vegas, and now San Diego, and I've still never encountered anyone (or anyone who knows someone) who's won something (besides a small drink or fries). They always have a lot of mid-level prizes (e.g. an X-Box), so you figure somebody's got to have won, right? Do you know anyone?
And, totally unrelated...
How do you flip people off? Are you a grabber (left) or are you freestyle (right)?
Me? I've always been a freestyler. It seems weird to pull my fingers back with my thumb. I dunno; I guess that's just how I learned it, and haven't changed. What about you?

Statia calls the two: "Third-gradin'" for the grab, and "Business Finga" for the freestyle.
I'm so a Biznazz Finga gal.

Evidently, I'm a grabber. I so rarely flip people off, but when I try to go for it, it seems like that's the position my hand falls into!

Freestyler all the way. Usually with the right hand.

Totally a free-styler-though I only do this in the car to other drivers and due to the munchkin-REALLY trying to stop.
And no-never known anyone who's won a real prize int he McD game.

I'm a grabber.
My Mom won a Starter jacket in the McDonald's Monopoly game. This was when Starter jackets were super popular, so I'd guess it was worth $150 to $200 at the time. But yeah, you never hear about people winning money or anything really big.

I'm a "tight" freestyler. Finger flying high and no gaps between the neighbors.
