August Contest!!!
 

It's that time again!

Answer all the questions right and you will be in the running for 3 different prizes. If ya don't answer the questions will enough and I run out of people that answered correctly, you'll be in a drawing for the remaining prizes.

As usual, I pick some really random prizes BUT the 1st prize at least is GI Joe-based!

This contest will end Wednesday, August 8th.

No purchase necessary. Shipping is free. This is NOT a popularity contest. Past winners can, uh, win again if they can are chosen. All entries will receive consolation prizes. Top 3 winners can expect other funky items in their package. (c'mon, anyone who knows me knows that ya end up with OTHER stuff!)

ANYBODY can enter. I hold no grudges against people who may have been banned in the past or whatever.

Start watching those movies or find OTHER ways to figure out the answers. Trust me, this will be a hard one!

1st Prize. 3x 25A CG Fred & Scarface comic packs.

2nd Prize. Commemorative Series IV Red Alert. (Classic re-issue from back in 2002) MIB

3rd Prize. Random weird stuff. (don't worry, new comers, I don't hand out Supertramp and Spice Girl cds. not yet, at least.)

I've only got 2 submissions since posting but man, these questions aren't that hard especially if you know where to LOOK for some of the answers!

Word to the wise.

You can always revise your answers.

You can always ask for help from other members or friends and family.

I need people's real names and shipping addresses when you PM so I know where to send the goodies out to.

There are 3 movies that have questions.



As it stands, I've had 4 entries. Only 1 person has gotten them all correct.

And somebody let me know, did I get Full Metal Jacket and Platoon mixed up with the door gunner thang?

Yeah, but it's a famous war movie scene, people will be able to figure it out. The helicopter was a Seahorse.

Well nutz. That 1 question is a freebie now. But people are still getting answers wrong! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, there'll be a late September contest in which, the 1st Prize will be a signed toy by an old uncle of mine. *think Randy Bowen* In fact, if I have the other piece he gave me, that'll be the 2nd Prize too!

Trust me, you guys will WANT to enter this bad boy when it comes up.

Thanks G!
 

So, I was sitting sweating my ass off for the 3rd day in a row. We have had a hurricane sitting on top up us and have been with out of power. The wind has died down but it is still raining (we have gotten over 25 inches in the last 3 days!). There is a knock at the door and it is DHL with a package for me. Inside was the booty from the contest. Thanks Graham, you made my day, Red Alert in the box absolutely rocks. The cool part is as I was opening this package the lights came back on!! Now if this storm will just get the hell out of here, it will be a great day. Thanks again, Dave

You didn't think he'd be so minty fresh, huh??? lol
