« on: Tue, 01 May 2012, 08:31:57 »
Let's have some fun here.  Here is how this will work.  I am giving away 2 Awesome Face keys.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 49615[/ATTACH]

[strike]1 key will go the first PM I get with the correct answer to this trivia question:
What is the name of the nihilists' techno-band in The Big Lebowski"[/strike] Winner: hamza_tm

[strike]1 key will go to the person that orders the Billiard's set (1-9 or 1-15) that gives us the next price break (75).
See http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?30735-Orders-Open-Billiards-Double-Shot-Keycap-Group-Buy[/strike] Winner: harrison

Fine Print
This is just for fun.  Please do not make this not fun.  Keys will be sent out today and no money will be charged for key or shipping.  Limit 1 per customer.  All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.  May cause dizziness.  Updates to billiard key sales will be postponed until after a winner is selected.  This offer has no cash value.  This offer has no sentimental value.  Do not taunt happy fun ball.  Contest may but will not be discontinued at any time.  Hulk Smash.

Meh, I preferred to take some time to double check my answer, so you probably have beaten me.

\o/

I'm kinda disappointed, was just glancing over the spy, saw the thread pop up (free and giveaway in the title caught my attention fast), moved to fast too grab the mouse, and don't ask me how, but I hit the F5 button, and had to wait until all the useless JS from the spy loads the full page again. That probably cost myself my victory ! And the fact that I took some extra time to proof check.

Either way, was only doing this contest for the fun, as I just bought two such keys two days ago. gratz hanza.

Ahh sorry about that mate.

I was just getting up from Uni, and thought before I go I'd check my PMs on Geekhack.

And lo and behold, I find a freebie thread! First thought was "no chance I'm gonna be in time" then I checked the thread posted time and it was one minute ago...

Uncanny timing :D

And what's this spy people talk about?

What is "a hoe"?*

Excellent little fun thread idea there, Boilermaker. I might just have to do something like this in the future too.
What do you think? And do you think the giveaway should be a question that needs to be answered or a keyboard on head sort of task?

*this is a reference to a quite well known answer on Jeopardy.

So far at Geekhack I've given away Click Clack keys, novelty keys, IBM Paul Rand mousemats, keyboards, and pics of myself nude with a keyboard on my head (but only in trade to verified females in PMs).
