| My signing caused a slight commotion resulting in the current lead-off hitter's resignation. |

| McCappo's CT scan: all normal. |
 |
| Tim Hortons' "Donut League" runs from now until May 22, 2011. |
After the CT definitively showed I was all-clear, there was only one more thing I could do to silence the rumor-mill: make a spring-training start in the Donut League. What's the Donut League you may ask? Well, while the McDonaldopoly team is just that, a team built to win at McDonaldopoly, that doesn't mean all we do is play McDonaldopoly. In fact, our training involves many activities other than just eating at McDonald's. They range from from working out (our first intramural water polo game is tomorrow) to eating all sorts of foods, and, when deemed necessary by management, can even include other competitive games of "chance." In the off-season, other, less prestigious, games have to fill the broadcasting vacuum left vacant by McDonaldopoly. Currently, Tim Hortons is hosting "Roll Up the Rim to Win," more commonly known as "The Donut League."
So to cut to the chase, in my first start since October, I dismantled the rookie pitching in Ontario and showed why Canada is, and always will be, the minors (sorry to all our Northern followers, but there's a reason you're reading this blog, not a different one). Boasting that "1 in 6 wins," I hoped Tim would show me a challenge, but after slapping two solid singles in three plate appearances, I was pulled to make sure I didn't risk injury. (In all seriousness, I won a free coffee while driving through a snow storm slated for 12 to 23 cm, or 5 to 9 inches; even in spring training, this isn't a game for the faint of heart). So folks, let me restate: I, McCappo, am as healthy as ever and ready to prove myself next season in AAA.

Do you know who the two $1 million dollar winners were in 2010 for the mcdonald's monopoloy game?
ReplyDeleteHey McDaphne!
ReplyDeleteI think there was only one winner last year, Jonathon Kehoe.

He played the game it was a full-time job for him! (Note: The TV station does not recognize this as a legitimate job and thus refers to him as "unemployed." Disgraceful.)
I'm lovin' it,
McCappo
McCappo, do you know if there were 2 chances for 2 people to win $1 million dollars or was there only 1 chance to win $1 million dollars? Just curious because that means that there was another possible $1 million winner out there. I went to the following McDonalds Monopoly website: http://www.playatmcd.com/Official-Rules.aspx
ReplyDeleteAnd under C. In-Store -- Collect & Win Prizes:
it has Quantity: 2 for the Prize Description: One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Payable $50,000/yr for 20 years, no interest. Also, the $1 million winner said he had both Boardwalk and Park Place on his cup, which I didn't know could happen. I didn't know you could get back to back Boardwalk and Park Place.
There were two opportunities. The second winner was probably on a wrapper that was never used/sold or some uneducated heathen may have thrown the wrapper out without ever peeling the pieces. As for having two of the same monopoly on one piece, I don't think that happens normally, but probably for the million dollar winner, they put both pieces on one cup so that whoever gets it knows they won.

I’ve been surfing online more than 5 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours without a doubt. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Thanks... rehab chicago
