Once again, as a special thank you to all of the wonderful, amazing, and dare I say beautiful people who voted for my shirt, I will once again be giving away a free shirt to FIVE of the people who commented on the original design.

EDIT:
I'm finally starting to win the battle against this unholy monster of a flu, and am really excited to be able to move about the house without feeling every single molecule of air colliding with my body. Thanks very much everyone for your patience, and also for the great suggestions for how to determine the prize winners.

Bortwein's idea of basing the prize drawing on a card deck inspired my eventual method, and for this, he will be receiving a free shirt! (In addition to the five other winners). Thanks for the idea, Brandon - just email me for your prize!

====

SO NOW, the saga begins:

First off, Uno cards are supposed to look like this:



This is how they looked when Moses brought them down from Mt. Sinai, and is the way they should still look today.

But for some reason, they redesigned them a few years back, and the last pack that I purchased did NOT remind me of my childhood, OR the smell of my grandparents' house, and was all-around just weird. To whit:



SO, I decided to improve the cards by writing alllllll of your names on them, like so:















NEXT, I will play FIVE hands of Uno with a couple of friends. Whoever's name is on the last card played of each hand will be a winner!

I'll be posting the results one at a time, so be sure to watch this blog!


Oh, and while you're here, why not take a second to vote and comment on my current design too:

I was planning to do another video, since everyone really seemed to like the first one, but I woke up today with a nasty cold. My brains are all squelchy, and my voice sounds like Leonard Cohen after gargling a pint of bourbon, so I think I'll save you all from THAT experience, and do something else for the prize drawing.

The old pull-names-out-of-the-hat bit seems a little boring, so tell me your idea of how to hold a prize drawing that's 1) free and 2) possible to do while stupidly sick.
bortwein
   bortwein on Feb 26 '09 at 9:14am
your "voice sounds like Leonard Cohen". Cool. I have 2 of his albums.
ivejustquitsmoking
   ivejustquitsmoking on Feb 26 '09 at 9:15am
aww get well soon. why not pick a number, and that person that corresponds to that number's win..

but ithink that's a bit tiresome for you
bortwein
   bortwein on Feb 26 '09 at 9:16am
Give every name a number over 25 and then role a set of dice 10 times to get your winner's number.
bortwein
   bortwein on Feb 26 '09 at 9:18am
Assign a playing card number and suit to everyone, then shuffle the cards a few times, pick the top card to get your winner. Reshuffle without that winner's card and pick again for 2nd place and so on.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love me some Leonard Cohen, it's just a bit disconcerting when you go to bed sounding like yourself, and wake up sounding like you've spent 40 straight years on an exclusive diet of scotch and cigars.

Take the names, scribble em on scraps, throw em in the air and which ever piece of paper you catch, wins!

train a bear to ride a unicycle. then, while the bear is riding, open a box of Alphabits and arrange the letters to form the names of the winners as chosen by the bear.
bortwein
   bortwein on Feb 26 '09 at 10:48am
Oh great spirits Who is the winner?
chelly
chelly on Feb 26 '09 at 9:15pm
list everyone w/ a consecutive number next to their names (or random, just no doubles). then, whatever day you feel healthy again, take that date and pick your winner.

get well soon!
krokun
krokun on Feb 26 '09 at 9:20pm
hmmmn, Assign every name a type of food and then ask the next person you talk to what they had for dinner last night, what they are planning on having for lunch the next day and their most hate food. That or everyone picks their own food.

I see my name... too bad its a blue return, those are rarely the final card.
Ian Leino
   Ian Leino on Mar 02 '09 at 5:26pm
OK, so I was going to have 3 players, but Norman proved to be unable to hold his cards:



(and to be honest, he's also a terrible cheat), so my wife Tammy and I faced off for the Ultimate Uno Prize Drawing!

Round 1:



Draw 4'd!


Draw 4'd again!


And Tammy wins with a Wild Card


Which Norman promptly steals


Winner #1: NYMPHADORA!


Congratulations!

And for everyone else, I'll be continuing to upload the rest of the winners, so don't go anywhere!

Uno with Fantastic Adam - could he be the winner?


NO! Tammy wins again, this time with v1ctorya


And Norman adds another card to his collection
