About That Comment Contest…

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

shirt

Only 527 comments to go before hitting that magic 100,000 mark! And if you’re the one who posts No. Hundred K–well, boy, howdy, you can win a cool T-shirt just like the one pictured above. If the picture weren’t so blurry, you could read it: “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost –Lee Duigon.”

I do hope we can wrap this up before Thanksgiving, when our annual Christmas Carol Contest kicks in.

I gave one of these shirts to someone I know and he is now running a health food store.

Any and all comments are eligible, with the following exceptions: cuss words, abuse of anyone else on this site, thinly-disguised commercials, or stuff that’s just so far out there on the Left, it would be a shame to acknowledge its existence.

Can we do it? Another 500 comments in the next two weeks?

(If you ask me what I mean, that counts as a comment!)

Don’t get so carried away with eating tasty leaves that you forget to enter the comment contest.

G’day! Byron the Quokka here, with exciting news about our next comment contest. So first examine this picture.

Egypt: Hidden corridor in Great Pyramid of Giza seen for ...

That’s the Great Pyramid, of course–one of the Seven Wonders of the World. See that white stuff on the tip? Yes, we’re working on making that the prize for the next comment contest, for reasons which will soon become obvious. If we play our cards right, the contest winner will be awarded with a luxury apartment way up there!

Currently we’re just short of 99,000 comments; and when we finally hit 100,000, well, that’s a big deal! And whoever posts No. 100,000 deserves a fabulous prize. A luxury apartment atop the Great Pyramid! Your friends will go absolutely mad with envy.

So far today we have no comments, so the field is wide open. You may be the lucky winner!

Let’s see if we can wrap this up by Thanksgiving, when our annual Christmas Carol Contest kicks in.

Win Your Own Sea Serpent!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m trying to breathe a little life into this blog. It isn’t easy. But we’re only 3,000 comments away from 100,000, and something ought to mark the occasion.

How’s about we make the prize your very own oarfish? These enormous fish are frequently mistaken for sea serpents; but you can get a little one that’s only twelve feet long or so. They can grow up to 30 feet, so be prepared to enlarge your aquarium.

Shipping costs, don’t ask–like, do you want an oarfish or don’t you? This is for 100,000 comments. Do you think this happens every day?

Any better ideas out there? I’m listening.

Comment Contest: Win a Genuine Viking Ship!

Gokstad Ship: The Story of Norway's Most Famous Viking Ship

Comments on this blog have sort of slowed down, and with the comment contest goal at 96,000 (another thousand to go!), it just seems like it’s taking forever to get there.

Guess I ought to bump up the prize. Like for instance–

Win a Genuine Viking Ship! The lucky reader who posts Comment 96,000 wins a genuine Viking ship, currently on display at some big-time museum in Norway. Vikings come extra, you’ll have to hire them yourself–but the ship itself is free, free, free (plus $85,999,99 for shipping and handling)!

Now you can terrorize the coastline and fill your ship’s hold with plunder!

What’s that you say? A ship of this kind doesn’t have a hold? Hey, go harass a grizzly bear or something–we’re busy here!

Of course, you can still win a cool T-shirt or an autographed book if that’s what you want; but this is probably the only way you can get your hands on a genuine Viking longship.

Win a Ph. D. in Nothing Studies!

Propeller Beanies With Optional Motors And Neck Clamps (Hella Chic)

Believe it or not, we have only 20 comments to go to Comment No. 91,000 and a winner in our comment contest!

To sweeten the pot, I have asked Fimbo University to provide a free doctoral degree in Nothing Studies. Be the envy of every single person you have ever known! And, unlike Joe Collidge himself, you won’t have to spend a minute in a classroom. All you have to do is be the lucky reader who posts Comment No. 91,000!

And if the deal falls through, there are still nifty prizes available–1) an autographed copy of one of my books, or 2) a cool T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost,” or 3) a little bag of plastic army men. But you’ve gotta be in it to win it!

We were also looking at a deed to the Taj Mahal, but someone in the Indian government has let us down. Fap!

2024 Cadillac Celestiq: What We Know So Far

(The nice scenery’s another $100,000.)

Pssst! Byron the Quokka here, with THE sure-fire way to get this blog going again. But keep it quiet, ’cause Lee doesn’t know about it yet.

You’ve heard of the 2024 Cadillac “Celestiq”–how’s that for a really cool name?–that’s gonna go on sale for $300,000… and up! And it’ll be totally electric! All you need to run it is some batteries. Just like a flashlight!

(I love that name, “Celestiq”! I love watching a platypus trying to pronounce it! Ha-ha!)

So, how’s about we give away a 2024 Celestiq to whoever posts Comment No. 91,000 on this blog? I mean, we’re almost there–how much longer can it take?

I hear there’s another all-electric car coming from Ginsu Motors, this one to cost $500,000–a cool half-million. And there are rumors that the WEF Doozy will run you $750,000. John Kerry’s getting one!

Meanwhile, you can join the In Crowd just by winning our current comment contest.

We have reached our milestone of 85,000 comments! And the winner is… let’s have a big hand for our friend Ina, in Scotland.  This isn’t the first comment contest she’s won, but we allow multiple wins around here.

We have expanded the choice of prizes to include 1) an autographed copy of any published book of mine (except for Bell Mountain–I’ve run out of those), 2) a copy of the next book to be published, Behold! (whenever that happens), 3) an autographed cover on my 1990 horror novel, Mind Stealer (no one else on your block will have one), 4) this cool T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost,” 5) a bag of nice green plastic army men (not kidding).

Ina, let us know which prize you want to claim.

And Byron, old Quokka, start laying the groundwork for the next contest!

Waiting for a comment contest winner! Aunt Feezy, Uncle Dib, and Cousin Klim

Today is Good Friday, and I feel a little icky about posting any nooze. Oh, if something good were to happen, certainly I’d mention it. But most of what’s going on out there is not good.

I don’t think I’m called to be a disc jockey and just post nothing but hymns all day–although I am committed to starting every blogging day with a hymn, and I’ll post more than one if they’re requested.

What to do, what to do?

Oh! Almost forgot! We have a comment contest running, with a goal of 85,000 comments, and we’re almost there! Don’t be shy–let’s hear what you think.

Don’t Forget the Comment Contest

shirt

This blurry picture doesn’t begin to do justice to this glamorous T-shirt you can claim as a prize if you win our current comment contest. We’re shooting for 85,000, with less than 500 comments to go.

Oh, the prizes!  You can win the shirt. Or an autographed copy of one of my books. Or an autographed cover of my 1990 horror novel, Mind Stealer. Or even, if none of the foregoing appeal to you, a little bag of plastic army men.

The legend on the shirt says, “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.” Hey, the guy who owns our neighborhood health food store, he wears one!

All comments are eligible except for nasty or inane ones.

(Hardly anybody here this morning; so let’s get chattering!)

Comment Contest Prize (Maybe?)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Mind Stealer by Lee Duigon | Goodreads

We do have a comment contest going, with just a little more than 500 comments to go to reach 85,000.

How do you like this as a comment contest prize? A mint-condition cover (front and back) of my ancient horror novel, Mind Stealer–autographed, of course. It features back cover copy written by someone who obviously never read the book and whose description of it bears but little resemblance to the contents. That’s big-time New York publishing for you.

Anyway, if you win, you can request it as a prize.

Byron the Quokka wants to give away a bicycle, but I’m not listening.
