The fine people at Threadless.com have been running a contest over the last few months; dangling a giant carrot in front of the noses is more like it. The Threadless 365 contest gives anybody who signs up a shot to win over 550 shirts (each shirt being $15= $8250.00) plus all longsleeve and sweatshirts which bumps the winnings to more than $10,000. Yea, not too shabby.
I wake this morning to a beautiful email that capped off finals week perfectly. I had been randomly selescted from thousands of people to be one of the top 10 finalists for the contest. If you are actually going to the links, I am the second name from the top, "packoutsandwich". That's right Jeff, Threadless got a big pack out sandwich. "Pack out sandwich" has been an inside joke between Jeff and I for going on 6 years now and this breathed new life into our sad expression.
The winners were chosen tonight through a video in which Santa unwrapped our names in presents and the last gift to be opened was the winner. Sadly, I did not win, but its hard to be upset over something you put absolutely no effort into. Ooh, I do get parting gifts though. I'm not sure what I will get but the 9 who were not picked were promised "great consolation prizes". I'm thinking we will probably get a free subscription to the 12 Club, which is a program where you get a special shirt each month and costs $200.
My interterm is starting off on the right foot! Now if you will excuse me, my Wii won't play itself.
