Ford Edge Goes on Vacation, Gets Raffled Off, Funds Tom Joyner

“Gas prices are so high even cars are taking a vacation from driving these days,” said a pressie this morning, followed by the image at left and this Tom Joyner Cruisin’ shot with the Ford Edge.

This is for Tom Joyner’s Fantastic Voyage, with heavy sponsorship from Ford Edge. The self-titled “Ultimate Party with a Purpose” raised over $1 million to benefit the Tom Joyner Foundation on Royal Caribbean International’s Navigator of the Seas.

The Ford Edge on board was later adopted by Aubrey Wagner, who won the contest and got to speak on the Tom Joyner Morning Show today.

If somebody wants to shoot $1 million in our direction we’ll raffle off an honorary Adrants martini glass – real olive included – and bestow two-line ranting rights on some future edition, contingent on if we feel like it and if some martini company wants to sponsor our glass giveaway.

We’ll even throw in a cheesy line like, “Drink prices are so high, we’re giving away free martini glasses in hopes you’ll one day pay us back in alcohol content.”

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
