Thrillest Bar Maddness

This was sent to me from my good friend Caitlin it's called Thrillist Bar Madness. Loosely based on March Madness, this contest asks you to vote for the "Thrillist" sports bars in America. Once you do so you're submitted for a prize sweepstakes. If you're successful in choosing the bars with highest number of votes in each given bracket you move on. Prizes begin at $100 and scale up to the Grand Prize which = $1,500. Very similar to your office basketball pool except you don't have to hound down the sweaty tech guy to collect his bracket.

The Michael Strahan Baseball bat Giveaway

Today as I was browsing through some news websites I came across this little gem of a contest. Those that enter will receive a $25 dollar voucher on purchases more than $100, and one lucky winner will win a baseball bat signed by Michael Strahan. Why all of a sudden does Michael Strahan interested in baseball bats? Who knows, may be he uses them to fend off creditors who are attempting to collect alimony payments for his crazy ex-wife.

Tough Mudder

For several weeks now a friend of mine has had a link http://toughmudder.com/events/bear-creek/ posted on his gmail status. I never bothered to check the link out fearing it may be inappropriate site that I should not access from my work computer. But after being challenged by a mutual friend I decided to register for it. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but now it's looking a bit more daunting. For those of you that have never heard of Tough Mudder it is a race designed by the British Special Air Service (SAS) meant to challenge one's "toughness, fitness, strength, stamina and mental grit all in one place and all in one day." The seven mile course includes such fan favorites as, barbed wire, mud pits, really big flames, a high ropes course, under water tunnels, and freezing cold water. Sounds like a day grandma's house. The race itself is partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project. A non-for-profit foundation that aims to provide support for wounded American Soldiers and conquering heroes. Donations can be made to foundation at http://www.active.com/donate/toughmuddernypawwp. Please feel free to donate on my behalf. The race takes place at Bear Mountain, PA on May 2, 2010. Alright t-minus 2 months, let's do this.

Keep the recommendations coming,

Mully

With some new found free time and a freshly discovered desire for new experiences, I have decided to reinstate the Year of Contests. So if any of you out there come across a drawing for clock radio, sweepstakes for palate of army surplus boots, or other games of chance of that nature, please let me know.

HGTV Dreamhome 2010

The Year of Contests has offically begun!!!! Actually it really began two days ago but a vicious hangover prevented me from documenting my first entry. I entered the drawing at the request of my mother and sister who most likely saw the advertisement for HGTV Dreamhome while watching a Lifetime full length feature motion picture, that presumably dealt with a rape or a murder.

Luckily for me, my mother and sister we able to pull themselves away from the gripping tale long enough to inform me of the HGTV Dreamhome 2010 Giveaway. Wow, my first Giveaway. Located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, the 2010 HGTV Dreamhome sports "360 degree views from the gorgeous hilltop lot, an open kitchen with an entire wall made from mosaic tile, a cozy home theater, adorable child's room, plenty of space for guests, and high ceilings throughout the home."

In addition to a "Dreamhome", the winner of the Giveaway will also receive $500,000 in cold hard Washingtons. Enough to fully appoint your new home, or buy off the local Mexican drug cartel that will be cooking meth and growing pot within miles of your residence.
