:smt102   Note to the big JohnnyZ... that's what I thought too!  I checked the email twice... and when I talked to the head dude on the phone I asked him if a mistake might have been made and if it should've been addressed to the big "Z".   He said, "Nope, the big Z is outta luck this week!  This baby's all yours, unless he wants to make a deal on that fancy new truck!"

Bummer eh?

But in all seriousness: contacted them, got it confirmed!  Guess I didn't just dream it!  (but a dream like that would still be worth it's weight in gold!) :smt015  :smt103

Did a little rough calculation.... total value of the whole shindig, at current retail values, is just under $10,000 US!  Enough to make your bladder weak!  Golly!!!

Still pinching myself!  And the best part???? They only had 4,000 entries for the whole thing!  Better odds than the State Lottery!

Johnny: I'll bring ya back a stuffed Koala!  (for real.)
