Competition Winners & new Tips policy

A quick catch up on a couple of competitions:

As voted by the community, Don't Swayze Bro won the Caption Competition with his masterful "That's nothing! Once I caught a trout and it was this big!". A Neatorama T shirt will be on it's way to you soon.

And congratulations to Jess & Mark who were randomly picked out to each receive two tickets to NAMU. I'll send those out in the next few weeks.

Plus all those who won The Onion DVDs should have received them by now.

To any other PR companies that want us to feature stories and products, there's a new policy in place, so please follow one of these two paths.

1) Send us free shit to give away and we'll plug anything

2) Send us a picture of your hot girlfriend, sister or Mom in a wet t shirt and we'll plug your blog, video clip, band. But make sure yopu convince us it's not just something you found on the internet.

how about going thru all the old 'caption competitions' and picking the best captions and reposting them with the winner. Doesn't have to be a prize, but I think I may have won a couple of those, and it keeps me up at night.

What if we send you a picture of your girlfriend, sister or mom in a wet t-shirt.
Will you still plug our blog, band or company?
I don't think it would be hard convincing you that we didn't just find it on the net??????

Hat's off to Swayze. That's living the dream bro.

zenpunk: choosing winners from all those entries would be a nightmare. I'm afraid I'll have to go with the British theory on this - it's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part. (A phrase that explains both soccer and cricket, I feel)

Dave: where do you think I got the photo I use to advertise our T Shirts on the right?

I thought that was Johnny before the haircut?

Regarding path #2: you are assuming that the PR person would be male, which is often not the case. If you're going to solicit pictures of women in wet t-shirts, don't be sexist about it.

Miss Cellania: Perhaps you are assuming that female PR people can't have hot girlfriends?

Adolescent male fantasy, for the win!

No doubt we could use another lady contributor to help Miss C put us boys back in line.

Sexy? What's wrong with being sexy?

Oh - ...ist.

Actually Baierman's right, if you read #2 and thought it only applied to men, well - maybe you ought to examine your own psyche, not mine :) All I was doing was expressing a preference for the female form :)

I'd like to thank...hey where's the microphone going? Why's the band playing?

Nuts. Oh well. Yay me!
