I’ve mostly been using my Google mail account for quick-and-dirty file transfers, but I’ve apparently used it enough to earn five invitations for others. I wanted to have a trivia contest, but had difficulty thinking of a question whose answer couldn’t be found on the Internet (aside from the obvious “Is there a God?”, but there are plenty of answers to that on the Web).
Here’s a personal question, the answer to which I mentioned a while back on this weblog:
When I was about eight, what childhood toy did I bury in the swamp behind my house and lose forever?
The first five people to correctly answer in the comments get Gmail invitations. If nobody answers, or everybody’s got a frickin’ Gmail account already, I’ll try a simpler question.
UPDATE: This was one of my stupider ideas. Once somebody puts the correct answer in the comments, everybody else can see it. Well done, Sue, and extra points for specifically indicating that it was Arctic Han Solo. Ah, heck, just email me (my first name at this domain dot com) if you want an invite.
UPDATE to the UPDATE: All the Gmail accounts are gone. I’ll announce should I get more.
Your She-Ra action figure.
I don’t want a Gmail invite, I just like to win contests. The answer would be your Arctic Han Solo doll.
Same thing I buried in mine. The GI Joe Space Capsule.
Is that your one big piece of trivia? That’s hardly impressive. Give us something *hard*.
/due to a weird Gmail glitch I still have 5 invites, and I won’t be holding a contest, unlike some people.
dammit! I missed DB’s last Gmail invite by 2 minutes…anyone else have one they could spare on me? I wanna be in the club too!
thx – A
I woulda guessed your Jem doll — she is truly outrageous, after all. And I know how much you love her so.
