Threadless

rholliday
rholliday aka Richard Holliday is a 31.1 year old boy, has been a member since November 20, 2005, has scored 8,159 submissions, giving an average score of 2.28, helping 109 designs get printed.

Contest decided, see below.
Contest finished, see below below.
So BP finally got printed (by Threadless), and we're all excited. Some of us genuinely, some of us because it's now en vogue to like him instead of hate him, but all excited nonetheless. ;)

I acquired a gift certificate coupon from Mr. Phone awhile ago for services rendered over my great protests, as I am nowhere near broke at the moment. So the compromise was that I would give it to someone to buy this shirt when it was released. Ordinarily I guess there'd be a contest of sorts to determine the recipient, but 1. I suck at that sort of thing, and 2. there are already a few contests going on for Bananaphone stuff. So I'm open to suggestions for how to handle this (beyond "just give it to me lol romg!")

I've also yet to buy it myself, so I suppose STPs are floating about, as well.




Okay, so the contest has been decided … sort of. We will accept either photographic scavenger hunt results or fantastically carved pumpkins. I realize not everyone loves pumpkins as much as some people:

Oh OH OH,

PUMPKIN CARVING!!!


(yes.)

chelly on Oct 14 '06 at 2:54pm
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

chelly on Oct 14 '06 at 6:46pm
carved pumpkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins!

Hitchhiker on Oct 14 '06 at 7:04pm
I like chelly's idea of the pumpkin carving. How about the best bananaphone-esque pumpkin carving?

chelly on Oct 15 '06 at 5:08am
yes!


Which is why we're taking canstillremember and ladykat's idea, as well:
ladykat on Oct 14 '06 at 10:16am
you could have a photographic scavenger hunt in which each picture needs one item from the tee...

and also someone (human or animal) must be in the shot either wearing a real threadless tee or a fake threadless tee (like they draw on a tshirt something to represent a threadless tee) - just so people are forced to take their own pictures!


STPs for the meta-contest will be going (eventually) to canstillremember, ladykat, chelly, and Hitchhiker. My associate loserbeech may be contributing to this.

So in summation: a collection of photos with you and items related to the shirt, or a pumpkin carved in a manner befitting the shirt. Deadline is Sunday, October 22, at 11:30PM Threadless time (CST). The winner will be expected to purchase this shirt with their winnings and prove it, lest I be very sad. :'(
Please post your pictures in this manner:

That way this blog doesn't get too ridiculously huge. :)



Our illustrious winner is chelly. May she enjoy her prize (currently valued at 2.5 shirts!) well. :)


(Don't forget about bananaphone's contest, as we definitely don't need to escalate to fist-shaking.)



Oh btw, this is me:

and this is staffell:

Any questions?

you could get someone else to run the competition, or you could give it to someone who genuinly is dying for this shirt but has no money and is infact into his credit card overdraft due to this website, hint hint

rholliday on Oct 14 '06 at 7:55am
That's a good idea, actually. The STPs can be for the contest idea, maybe. :)

And argue about who looks the t shirt better using their cams and/or mics.



Thatd be crazy.

Rich, nothing to do with your contest... I just wanted to say I love the new profile pic.

rholliday on Oct 15 '06 at 8:05pm
Thanks Rod. My friend Robert drew it. It's the me from his comic. He did the bunny in my corner pic, too.



And yes Nicola, you of the "what if they just get it and spend it on something else tee hee" theory.

Richard said that I have to reply because he wants his stupid topic bumping, but wants to look like he's too cool to do it himself.
