How I got my iPod...

- The night before it started, I found out about the Newest Round of Monopoly at McDonalds.

- I decided then and there that I was gonna collect these. See how many I could get.

- - Then I realized I could... dig in the trash... and find some.

- I did so for the extent of the promotion, ending up stopping @ 3 or 4 Mcdonalds Mon-Thurs, and the one in my town Fri-Sun.

- I collected 297 of them, each valued @ one buck.

- I realised I also had quite a bit of change, about 98 bucks. I also had a Rebate check from Staples, and a bunch of cans to take for recycleing, and for 26 or so dollars from that.

- It took a LONG time to type in all those codes.
I now have a 20 GB iPod, real sweet.
