    wow, awesome prise potential there! I just wish it had started a couple months ago so the first two ideas I came up with woulda been possible.

    1. wipe smuggy into the vernix on my son's back or chest. For a chance at that vacation, I'm pretty sure my wife woulda been game for it. mwink.gif

    2. "mow" smuggy into the stalks of corn before they were harvested, crop circle style. I even know a farmer that might have let me try it on his field, but most of them around here have already brought their crops in.


    headscratch.gif hmm... on second thought... maybe I shouldn't share these ideas....... ne_nau.gif not like I'm gunna be able to do 'em. Anyone shoot them and wins should share, m'kay? deal.gif

    How about adding
    You gotta be a U.S. resident and 18 years old to enter

    more prominently so other non-US residents don't get all excited like me :D

    I even sent my email for the stickers before I realised :cry

    Since I did a little research...I believe it is ONE ENTRY per person...

    The entertaining but unofficial version:
    1. You gotta be a U.S. resident and 18 years old to enter (or age of majority in your state). NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY to enter or win; void where prohibited.
    2. Contest starts 12:01 a.m. (PST) on October 5, 2007 and ends 11:59 p.m. (PST) on December 5, 2007.
    3. No take backs or do overs, so hit us with your best shot. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received.
    I believe that rule number 3 indicates 1 shot per person i.e. "HIT US WITH YOUR BEST SHOT" it is not plural "Shots" but singular.

    Hey but I could be misinterpreting them....Perhaps we need an "official" to decipher it??

    Devbobo didn't seem official enough as The Thing?

    You may indeed submit more than one entry.

    Hmm that wording IS unclear. I think that's because when we originally wrote that rule, we intended to limit entries. But, when we started to see the fabulous photos people were coming up with, we changed our minds. :D

    We'll fix the wording, no worries. Thanks for pointing that out!

    I got my envelope of stickers the other day.

    1 each of 3 different sizes.

    How many times can I submit for free stickers?
    Can we purchase some if we want a small stack?

    Tonight was a bit troublesome - my youngest ended up in ER. 3 hours of fun. It all ended up well, but I also get a chance to cheer her up by using the smuggy sticker I had from the shootout. It put a smile on her - still pale - face, and I used my RAZR to grab a snapshot... She is a real trooper! clap.gif
