Little m Long a

Many of you may have read about this contest over at Whit’s place.  What?  Who’s Whit?  I’m not quite sure that question deserves an answer, rather a swift slap across the face and quite possibly some spittle in the eye!  Whit’s the man–he says so himself.  Anyway, seems Whit has offered a little contest to all five of his readers that offers not one, not two, not three—it goes on–but eleven books.  Real books with pages that are made of real paper (I can only assume paper as I have not actually seen these books myself, nor do I have actual proof that the books are real–but why would Whit lie?).

All you have to do is answer a few simple multiple choice questions, compose a short essay and in no fewer than ten words (no more either) describe why Whit is the man.  I’m about to give you the opportunity of a lifetime.  Why?  Because I care.  It’s what I do.  I’m a carer..er type of caring person that cares about things and people.  Really, I do.  I’m not only going to give you the answers to Whit’s little questionnaire but, by commenting here, I’m going to make you eligible to win Whit’s contest.  That’s right–Whit shall choose 5 winners (yes FIVE) and I shall see to it that FIVE (5) additional lucky duckies have the opportunity to receive all eleven books.  It’s win win here people!

And now, let’s get to those answers.

Question #1:  the answer is TRUE

Question #2:  he’s playing guitar with Band of Gypsys in Paducah, KY every Tuesday night at Earl’s

Question #3:  trick question–again the answer is TRUE

You’re on your own for the essay, however, hint for the bonus–say something about his big feet–he likes that.

Just remember, I’ll pick five winners in addition to the winners chosen by Whit.  Just leave a comment and let me know you want in.  I gotta tell you–with my readership in the low single digits–you’ve got some really good odds here.

Contest closes sometime soon–maybe later but it definitely won’t last forever.  Maybe on Wednesday.  Or Tuesday.

*Oh, I just re-read some rules.  OK the rule.  It’s only good for residents in the US and Canada (I know, a little exclusionary).  Sorry, Brits.  We’ll think of something.

Edit note Wed. June 11–the contest has now been closed and winners have been selected–congrats to Pam, James and Cindi (the only eligible participants.  Well, Whit did comment making him an eligible participant but because he was also running the contest I figured he probably had access to the prizes as well).  Enjoy your books.
