I need to get you guys in the mood for love, and what better way than to give away some stuff that will keep you awake! I am getting some stuff from SOMEWHERE that YOU can win and the way you win is EEEEASY! All you need to do is write a pickup line in the comments. One per person. No copying anyone else. The person who gets the most Plus 1′s on her or his comment wins. Here’s EXPLANATION.
The advertiser pulled it so I need to find a new prize
See? Free something! And all you have to do is be funny or have a bunch of friends willing to upvote you. Contest ends at 10pm EST on Feb 13th!
Name the city, win the tickets. Two tickets to Final Destination 5 good for any theater chain except AMC. And go! Update! Someone won these.
And when Podcaturday is up, there is a way for you to win the last pair, so check back! WIN WIN WIN! Update – the show is up and nobody won yet!

Congrats to JD for correctly guessing last game’s Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac. Now we have another song AND an prize. That’s right. Whoever guesses the song and artist first will win a couple of FREE tickets to see Final Destination 5. That’s right. FREE! And they are good nationwide through Sept. 12th for any theater chain except AMC. And who wants to go to AMC? That’s the place where the murder was (I heard).
First one to get it right wins the tickets. Everyone else wins points!
Yeah so today I got into a big debate about love and sexy scientists (I guess). And in the middle of the debate one of the guys says: “Oh, you reminded me of the thing I was TRYING TO GRAPH!”
- I need you all to go in there and help me. I think I might be losing.
- Final Destination 5 – so someone had to review that movie. Why not this guy?
- Bachmann-eyezed! – Damn that’s creepy. Creepier than Steve Buscemi, maybe.
- Liquid Lapdance — Liquid Lapdance – 1 Pair – I don’t know if I want this or not. I didn’t dare to read too far in case someone was looking at me.
- Give and get free stuff in your local community – Sure, take someone else’s crap in exchange for your crap. Crap!
- After the jump you can see a kid do a Rubik’s cube in like, 7 seconds. Too bad that they don’t make bombs that can only be defused by doing a Rubik’s cube really fast. If they did that kid would be set.
- Soothing Music – Yeah, I like this kind of thing. And yeah, I’m manly. VERY manly.

Acadia has been a huge help (weird, I know,) in pushing promotion for my brand new dark fantasy eBook, The Goblin Market, which became available for purchase last week on Amazon and Smashwords for just $2.99.
We were butting heads like a couple of crazy rams in the middle of a field yesterday, when Acadia said, “Beans, you should do one of your giveaways on The Gallery this week.”
Clever, Acadia. Because we share completely different reader-bases, and when you put a novel out you want to reach as large an audience as possible. A lot of my readers over at The Inner Bean already know I’m writing and putting out novels, but maybe the faithful and dedicated readers here at The Gallery didn’t know that.
I’m giving away 5 eBook copies of The Goblin Market every day this week, as you may have guessed from the title of this post. Even if you didn’t guess, now you know. Winning one is relatively easy. On Monday I gave copies away to the first five people to comment on my site about their favorite fairy tales. Tuesday I gave away five more to commenters sharing their thoughts on what makes a good villain. Today, winning one is going to be a tad bit harder…
Every Saturday, Acadia, Melz and I hook up for Podcaturday. You know, the weekly round table discussion with three people who know everything about nothing… We have a hot line you can call into, and we play your voice mails on the show each week. If you want to win one of today’s 5 eBook copies, all you have to do is call the Podcaturday hot line at 206-888-1710 and leave message tell us what your favorite fantasy movie is. That’s it! Easy peasy, right? We will announce the winners on Saturday’s episode of Podcaturday and play your voice mails live on the show as we lead into talking about our own favorite fantasy movies.
So say you don’t want to wait until Saturday morning to find out if you won a copy of The Goblin Market? You can pick one up on Amazon or Smashwords for $2.99… less than a Tall Caramel Machiatto at Starbucks and you’re helping an indy author grow her fanbase and readership.

The year is almost over and, before 2009 starts, I want to make sure that when you look down at the bottom of your monitor you know what the date is. See, long ago I worked for a place that gave out calendars to customers. They stuck on the bottom of the monitor and they were really handy.
But I don’t work there anymore, so I had to make my own. It’s not the same and you need to cut it out yourself and, since it doesn’t stick by itself, you need to tape it. But other than that, it is exactly the same. Oh, except that it is taller. I wanted it to only be two rows across but I am not a fucking wizard. Screw you.
