ok so, ive won a bunch of psych contests this summer. and when i won the pineapple decorating one, i gave the prize to the boys i was watching cuz i had most of the stuff already!
but so one of the boys texted me today and said that they didnt want the magic 8 ball. so what im gonna do is figure out a way to give it to one of you guys.
technically, i'll be giving you the one i already have but ive only used it once. and then come christmas time, i'll pick up the other one from NJ and keep it.

RULES:
1. Must not have one already
2. Must be willing to pay shipping.
3. Must have a way to pay me shipping. (figuring out if i can use paypal or how im gonna do it)
4. Must be ok with the fact that i want the money before i send the 8-ball out. I have no interest in stealing your money, i will actually send it. I just dont want to send it and never get reimbursed.
5. Must be willing to give me your real first and last name as well as an address. (of course)

So im gonna think of like, maybe 5 trivia questions. and on FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, at 7pm EST, i will post the questions. the first person to either PM me on the boards or DM me on twitter (@jvento) the correct answers, will win.

*note* if for some reason i can't figure stuff out by friday, the date will be moved back.

also, there's a chance i will be getting a 2nd one. a person said i won a contest a while ago but i havent heard from them recently so idk if i'll actually get it ()
and if i do get the second one, the 2nd person to PM or DM me the correct answers will get the second one when i get it.

Sound good? any questions?

Who's in?

Dude..I'm so in

Ooh, I'm in! Will a personal check be okay? Also, if you don't mind me asking, what state do you live in? I'm in Illinois. That will just give me an idea as to what shipping may be.

personal check is ok but i'll have to make sure it doesnt bounce before i send it. so it may delay u getting it.

and i will be shipping from Georgia

I can guarantee you it won't bounce, but I completely understand where you're coming from.

aww man im busy on friday...sad :'(

"So im gonna think of like, maybe 5 trivia questions. and on FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11, at 7pm EST, i will post the questions. the first person to either PM me on the boards or DM me on twitter (@jvento) the correct answers, will win."

I'd love to participate as I REALLY want one, but I'm going to be working my usual night shift from 5:00pm - 3:00 am. Sorry, guess that kills my chances.

By the way, for all participants, I suggest money order instead of a personal check. There is no "bouncing" a money order, it's paid for up front in cash. You're also not sending someone your checking account & routing numbers that way.



Texasartchick

ur the 2nd person who said they cant do it then so im gonna change the date.

when is best for everyone?

Sunday afternoon,
Sunday night,
Monday night,
Tuesday night ?

"when is best for everyone?

I'm good for any of them, but I'll guess Sunday night might have best chance of most folks being free. So that's my vote.



Texasartchick

I already won one so I can't play. But good luck to everyone else!!

Just a reminder that I will be posting 5 questions today(Sunday) at 7pm EST.
the first person to PM me on the boards or DM me on twitter all 5 correct answers will win.

fyi, not every question will be about psych.

*bump* reminder!!



yes, im being annoying.

alright everyone ready? gonna post it in 2 minutes!

Ok, so the first person to PM or DM me the correct answers to all 5 questions will get the magic 8 ball!
if you post a public reply, you automatically are disqualified.
you can use the internet
if noone gets all 5 right on the 1st try, i'll tell each person which ones they got wrong (on here, not idividually) and u can try again.
as soon as i figure out who won, i'll announce the winner and the answer to all of the questions.

Good luck!(this was fun to do!)


1. In what episode was "Stacy's Mom" playing on the radio?
2. What day did James Roday and Dulé Hill do their most recent Today Show interview?
3. What state is the Statue of Liberty in?
4. Which 4 states make up "The Four Corners"? (state abbreviations are ok)
5. Which 2 substances are needed to make a science-fair volcano bubble and erupt?

Dude, I know #1 SO well, because I love that song, and I was psyched when it played. It also played in Burn Notice recently.

alright. i got my winner!

@agarderik from twitter was the first one to give me all of the correct answers.

BourneAgain, you got #2 wrong and were 2nd
Angela, you were third and got #3 wrong (tsk tsk. most important answer)

i wont give the answers right away in case any of u wanna guess for fun.

Snap. Oh, well. Thanks for the awesome game, though!

DANG IT!

btw, the answers were:

1. Stacy's Mom played in episode 1.04: Woman Seeking Dead Husband
2. The Today Show interview aired on July 27, 2009
3. The Statue of Liberty is located in New Jersey. i can't stress that enough!! the only reason why people think its NYC is because long ago during the NY/NJ battle about state boundaries, they made a compromise: both Ellis Island and Liberty Island will belong to NJ but NY will get all tourism rights for it.
Which i think is ridiculous but oh well.
4. The Four Corners Monument is at the point where Colorado (CO), New Mexico (NM), Arizona (AZ) and Utah(UT) meet.
5. Mixing Baking Soda and Vinegar will cause a chemical reaction for your "volcano" to "erupt"



and if i get another magic 8 ball, i'll resurrect this board!
