My SureFire L4 story won!

[Ginseng]

Oh my gosh, I just got an email from Surefire...my story about my L4 being sucked up in a snowblower and surviving got selected as a "True Life" story! The story is titled "Surefire flashlights must not be tasty" and is on their website in the "True Stories" section under Extreme Stress Testing here.

Here's the original CPF posting.

PS. Ol' Trusty still hangs with me every waking hour of the day as my ever-dependable EDC.

Sweet! But I don't want to find out how tough my Surefires are like that!

[cognitivefun]

We want to know if you won anything or if Surefire just posts the story as the "prize"?

It would be really hard to beat your story... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] congratulations and glad that one of "ours" is on the SF site!!

Congratulations, Wilkey. It couldn't have happened to a better or more deserving CPFer.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the nice comments. Well, it seems like they accept good stories as they come in but they choose whoppers for a monthly prize. The prize is a $100 credit for their online store so I feel doubly lucky!

Now what to do with that credit...

Hello Wilkey,

I enjoyed reading about it again. Your story has some good company as well.

yeh, me too.

Playboy used to pay $50 if someone sent in a joke which they then printed.
SF should be as cl...assy as PB!

vhyper007's dry wit has shined once again.
