Toy Blimp GIVEAWAY!!!!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
You read that correctly, folks. To commemorate the beginning of what I'm absolutely positive will be the very long life of this forum, I'm giving away a toy blimp. This is one and only chance to get a small window of insight of what it is to be Mike_v_s!!!!

The rules:

This is an essay contest. To qualify, I'll need you to submit at least 250 words (via PM) on why you think you deserve a toy blimp. The more words, the more serious I know you are. The essay that strikes me correctly will be the winner. Only 2 entries per contestant and they must be submitted by midnight on Thursday, April 8, 2010. I'll announce the winner whenever I get around to it.

Mike

Before I begin working on my submission I'm going to need to know where this toy blimp has been kept in relationship to your pants.

You gotta check the carfax before taking ownership of a slightly used toy blimp you know.

I had beers with you in person, and also helped dock the real blimp for you. Not to mention underground work with the covert ops. You'll also recall I actually took the day off for big font day.

I want a damn blimp.

Gentlemen. The blimp will be new when it gets to my house. After that I'll need to make an adjustment or two before forwarding it on to the winner. It will not have touched my pants (unless the winner specifies this request). I'll need your pleading in the form of AT LEAST a 250 word essay to consider your entry. Thank you.

Mike

I'm also pleased to announce the addition of a second place prize!!!! The essay I deem "A Bit Worse Than First Place" will earn the writer an autographed picture of my middle finger. I am not kidding.

It's not fully necessary, but this whole thing will be style points. Being a man of varied tastes, that doesn't mean I'm looking for one in particular, just the one that sticks.
