Breakfast or penguins — you choose

By Mir

Category Contests

It’s contest time, and today I am combining two things which have nothing to do with one another, because, um, well, because they’re both sitting here on my desk. Also because I never want it to be said that I didn’t provide something for everyone. Yes. That too.

First up we have two copies of 3-2-1 Penguins: Save the Planets! If you’re not familiar with 3-2-1 Penguins, they’re from Big Idea (the same folks who do Veggie Tales), so that should give you some sense of what they’re about. Good fun, great animation, etc. Do you want to win one of these DVDs?

But wait! Don’t answer yet, because the other thing I have here is a $10 gift card for Starbucks. Strictly speaking, you don’t have to use it for breakfast—I mean, it’s not like the Starbucks police will come after you if you use it for afternoon lattes, instead—but this came to me as part of a promotion for their new breakfast items, so you might want to check out their oatmeal, fruit stella, and muffins. Just sayin’.

I have one gift card and two movies. You need to tell me which one you’d like to get. For a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Sunday, September 28th, 2008, telling me which one you want. Valid email address required. One entry per person. Entries which do not pick one item to receive will be disqualified. Winners will be determined by random number generation and happy feet. Oh, wait—wrong penguin movie. Nevermind. I need more coffee.

Go!
