Gracias to the many people who submitted entries to our "Win Gustavo's Anaheim Ducks Season Tickets" contest. All of them were great 25-words-or-less arguments on why a hockey team should be named after ducks; some examples included bawdy limericks, testaments to a duck's loyalty, even a case where a duck was apparently kept in a refrigerator for two days and lived.
The winner, however, didn't even talk about Ducks at all. Thomas Dickan's response is beautiful in its simplicity and...eh, read it for yourself below! And if you don't agree, vent your anger in the comments section!
THE WINNER
Canucks,
Canadiens,
Predators,
Devils,
Rangers,
Flyers,
Islanders,
Kings,
Lightning,
Hurricanes,
Flames,
Capitals,
Senators,
Coyotes,
Blackhawks,
Sharks,
Bruins,
Thrashers,
Panthers,
Penguins,
Ducks, why the hell not?

Thomas, congrats....take me to a game?

Clever.
Looks like I'll now have to resort to my old tricks and obtain tickets the old-fashioned way - by selling my body.

Hey, Gustavo, can't we get a peek at some of the runners up?
March 15, 2007 09:03
gustavo- he is probably not even a fan and will end up selling your tickets. boo! they should have gone to a true fan!

Hmm, I still think mine was better. I really just wanted to see the Blue Jackets, though. And I liked the story about the duck who survived being shot and kept in a refrigerator for two days and lived.
