Oh, what the heck, why not. You can vote once a day coinciding with the voting deadline for the original dpc Stupid Christmas Gift challenge!

To address a couple of comments and questions received today I'm posting a few clarifications.

1. You may vote once per day.

2. Voting concludes January 2, 2008, 2400 hours.

3. Each person may win only once during the contest.

4. There can be a maximum of seven winners.

5. There are seven contest entrants eligible to win:
(1. BAMartin. 2. trevytrev. 3. yospiff, 4. thegrandwazoo, 6. timfythtoo, 7. biteme. 8. Judi)

6. When a person submits a winning entry that person may no longer vote.

7. Each winner will be notified immediately by email or private message but the winners name will not be made public until January 3, 2008.

8. Entrants may not publicly disclose that they have won before January 3. 2008.

9. The January 3, 2008 consolidation drawing will occur only in the event no one makes a correct guess during the daily entries. The consolidation winner will be selected by lots. There will be seven numbers (1,2,3,4,6,7,8) will be written on slips of paper and placed in a container. One number will be drawn from that container. The winner will be notified that same day by email or private message.

10. The prize has no monetary value. No substitutions for the prize are allowed.

11. I had no idea a simple little contest would require so much detail.......but I'm happy to do it.........my wife just called me a geek.........if the shoe fits..............it must be me!

Since we have proven ourselves totally inept at identifying someone's entry from over 100 others, what do we win if you draw our lucky number? (I'm so humiliated by this, you know...)

12/30/2007 10:48:20 PM · #20

Wanna try to guess which one is mine before voting ends?

I'm sorry, I mistakenly stated the side challenge was done when in fact it goes through Jan 2, 2008. Keep guessing.

Ok, I'm a pushover. Due to popular demand here are a few clues.

1. A relative is involved.
2. The item is worn.
3. The technology was the subject of a lawsuit.

But I never said the clues would be easy.............happy guessing!
