Kicking It with Our Latest Giveaway

Happy Friday--here's a prize. It's the weekend! Just kidding we have a prize for you, too--besides the weekend...

It's week three of Savings.com's 2010 weekly giveaway extravaganza. Thanks to our sneaky Pavlovian conditioning, soon you'll associate Fridays with free stuff from Savings.com like I associate Sundays with free food at Costco.

Last week we announced a giveaway for a three-month supply of Ocean Activate, an all natural weight loss and energy supplement. Today, it's time to announce our winner...

Ironically the winner of this generous prize is Savings.com member "TinyWino1."

TinyWino1, who I imagine as an Alcoholic Smurf, is no doubt both tiny and a wino. He/she is also apparently part of an elite team of "tinywinos." Is there a tinywino2, 3 and 4? Either that or TinyWino1 is also schizophrenic.

Either way I have a sneaky suspicion there will be a re-gifting from "TinyWino1" to his/her friend "LargeRecoveringWino1toomany." Carrying along my images of late 80s cartoon characters as our blog readers, I envision "LargeRecoveringWino1toomany" as Monterey Jack from Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. Monterey Jack--or Monty as his friends called him--was a jovial adventure loving Australian Mouse who was always looking to get fit and overcome his addiction to cheese.

Congratulations "tinywino1" and I hope you or your fictional friend "LargeRecoveringWino1toomany" enjoy the Ocean Activate and use it well.

Right now I'm drenched to the bone due to the Typhoon outside, but it doesn't really bother me except for one thing. Wet feet! My shoes are wet, my socks are wet and that's never fun. I'm sure you all feel the same. If you're thinking "Man, Chris I know you have the hookup with Shoes.com – give me a free gift card!," well you're in luck.

This week's contest is for a $50 gift card for the always awesome Shoes.com. Use that to pick up some running shoes, sandals, boots or bright red galoshes that I wish I was rocking right now. All you have to do is comment on this blog post to be entered.

That's it. Really simple. If you want some sample comments, I recommend the following:

"Shoes.com is sooo cool. Like super duper cool--I hope I win!"

"Red Galoshes are AWESOME. Savings.com should totally customize a pair to include their cool line art."

"Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers changed my life! That and Tale Spin…and of course Ducktales. I miss the late 80s."

"Dude that Arreguin guy is awesome and witty--I wish he was my friend."

Well, you get the idea.  Just post your comment before next Friday--'cuz that's when we'll be selecting and announcing the winner.
