Of the more than 350 entries in the $100 Amazon.com gift card giveaway, only one could be a winner.
Gina was chosen and she’s very excited. Five weeks ago she had a baby — funny how expenses go up at such a time.
Congratulations to Gina, and thanks to everyone else who entered. It’s a tough act to follow, but at least this week’s giveaway is both cute and attitudinal.
The deadline to enter the “minor celebrity” contest is 9 p.m. PDT Saturday, June 12. As in, “tomorrow.” Even if you don’t feel your life is quite minor enough, go read the comments that have been posted. They’re hilarious. A few excerpts:
- “I had a brief but intense online fling with a guy who’s a part-time actor and precision driver who’s been a Bajoran on ‘Star Trek’ (hot), bodyguard to the President’s wife on ‘Prison Break,’ served crabcakes to Fran Drescher on ‘The Nanny,’ and played a guard in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith,’ the film that started it all for Brangelina.”
- “My dad once was at a party that John Denver was at, and he danced with John Denver’s date.”
- “I am Jimmy Swaggart’s third cousin. Mickey Gilley’s fourth & Jerry Lee Lewis’s third as well. Also, I swear I stood behind Axl Rose in line at the Garden Island Deli & Mini-Mart in Fairbanks!”
- “My former hairdresser’s ex-husband was an extra in ‘Catwoman’ with Halle Berry (I believe her character kicked his character’s @$$…).”
Remember: The winner gets a copy of “Elvis Presley’s Pharmacist Was My Sunday-School Teacher.” How could you turn down an opportunity like that?
