Take a trip in the Way-Back Machine

May 19, 2008 | Contests

Oh, hello. Was I supposed to be posting here, or something? Today sort of got away from me. Whoops.

Anyway! Hey, I have another fabulous prize sitting here. No, really. There is no end to the fabulosity of the random things which I decide to give away. Mostly because people send me things and then I give them to you, because of the love in my heart. And the small size of my office.

Today’s offering—think Father’s Day!—is Hiya, Kids! A 50s Saturday Morning Boxed DVD Set. That’s right, four entire DVDs filled with the ubiquitous shows of the era, including a whole bunch I never heard of. There’s Lassie and Roy Rogers and Howdy Doody and Flash Gordon and, hey, just a whole buncha stuff, okay?

And it can all be yours, Pretty. For a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008. One comment per person, valid email address, and all that jazz. Winner to be determined by random drawing and who fell down the well.

Don’t delay, order today!

    It is absolutely impossible to ask my mom what time it is. She always responds with a (too) gleeful rendition of “It’sssss Howdy Doody time! It’s Howdy Doody time…” I have to resist the urge to pull the same stunt on my kids - mostly because they’re 4 and 2 and would have no idea what I was doing, even if I tried to explain.
