You might be a geek if. . .

By Mir

June 2, 2008

… you get excited about this contest.*

I have here the complete boxed series of Stargate Infinity on DVD. I’m told this is pretty exciting if you’re a die-hard Stargate fan, which I don’t happen to be. (Dude, I draw the line at Star Trek: The Next Generation, and only because Captain Picard was hot.)

One lucky, deeply geeky Want Not reader is going to win this set, and you can either indulge your inner geek, or give it to your favorite geeky dad for Father’s Day, or let your kids watch it (it’s animated, though I’m thinking it’s not for little kids), or use it as a door stop if you want. It doesn’t matter to me! Once you win it, that’s between you and your DVDs!

To be entered for a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, June 4th, 2008. One comment per person, with a valid email address, please. Winner to be determined by random number generation and The Force. (I know, I know; wrong franchise.)

Ready? Go!

*With my apologies to Jeff Foxworthy for ~~stealing~~ modifying his line.

My brother loves Stargate! And he’s getting married. Wedding gift? Check.
jean on June 2, 2008 at 1:30 pm

My son would love me even more if I won this. I might even get a hug and a kiss. (from a 12 yo this would be huge).
divrchk on June 2, 2008 at 1:31 pm

We love Stargate. My hubs is moving in 2 weeks and I’m stuck here until we can sell this house. This would make the best Father’s Day present possible for him to enjoy in his tiny, horrific room that he will be living in.
Tina on June 2, 2008 at 1:34 pm

My Mother-in-Law LOVES Sci-Fi and is living in Scotland to go to school/get her PhD, and has no TV, just DVDs that we give her to watch (which help distract her from her homesickness). So if I won this, it’d be a wonderful Birthday/Christmas gift–and I could become the favorite daughter-in-law! (I’m in competition with 3 other wonderful girls here, I need all the help I can get!!!) Ok, I know you didn’t really want to read all that, but, well, it seemed nice to share.
Anna on June 2, 2008 at 1:34 pm

I’ve only seen a couple of these episodes. Pretty please, Mir?
Angela on June 2, 2008 at 1:40 pm

Jenni on June 2, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Yes! We’ve never watched the animated one. But my husband is a huge Stargate fan and got me hooked on it – partially because it was the only way to get him to sit on the couch and watch tv with me.
Jim on June 2, 2008 at 2:27 pm

For my Son, an Iraq wounded vet & my favorite Geek!!! Thanks Mir!!

I hope I win this for my husband, who is a geek down at his molecular level!

Just a note to other commenters: This is an animated series that only ran for one season, and not the long-running live action “Stargate: SG-1” series with Richard Dean Anderson.

So, um, you guys all wanna take back your comments and let me have it, then? …

Didn’t think so… 🙂
