a contest for my readers

Mr. Machine from Ideal (1960) | Toy Tales

How many of us had this toy–Mr. Machine?

Okay, our first Memory Lane contest is under way; and first I’m going to do something that should make it easier to follow.

Each day, I’ll post a brief remindet about the contest: and to that post, readers can attach as many comments and replies as they please.

Anyone can enter. You can enter as often as you like.

Somewhere along the way, someone’s going to come up with a memory that knocks me for a loop–and that’ll be the winner of the contest. The prize is an autographed book, your choice.

We’ve already got some entries from yesterday, and I’m looking forward to seeing more–lots more.

Because memories are a good thing to share.

Recently I announced a fun contest for readers. Cast the Bell Mountain movie, using actors living or dead to play at least six characters, and whoever comes up with the coolest cast wins a copy of The Silver Trumpet.

A lot of people have read that announcement, but so far only three have entered. What kind of contest has only three people in it? Are many of you just waiting around to see what others say? Crikey, I could get three entries into “Name That Tent Caterpillar”contest.

C,mon now, folks–spread your wings and let your imaginations take flight. You can cast anyone you want for any part. If you want to cast Yul Brynner as Ellayne, fine–you won’t win, but you could do that.

This game will only work if a lot of readers play. ‘Nuff said?
