Meta-DAD Giveaway!
Yep, that’s right. Here’s the deal. Answer three questions correctly first, win a prize – it’s that easy. In true game show style, I have randomly chosen from the Parent Theme – the category of Childrens Stories. So all the questions fit in the said category.
The Rules: I have a bunch of unopened, never been played before video games that I could sell on Ebay or Craigslist but I am going to try a give-away. Unfortunately, this give-away only works if you are in the continental United States – sorry Alaska, Hawaii and the rest of the planet, nothing personal, I’m just not interested in paying too much for the postal.
Let’s see how it goes. I am going to ask three questions and the first one to get them right wins the prize. I will post the top three winners (correct answers + quickest time) after the contest is over — assuming there are three.
The Prize: The Game Titles include: Ultimate Spiderman, Tony Hawk Underground 2, Wolfenstein, Doom III and Call of Duty. This is a friendly give-away and I will not field any questions about the prizes beyond this information. If you win but do not find a game that you like or can play, I will move down the list to the next person who got the questions correct. Just to be clear, the Winner will get to choose one video game and it will be sent it via U.S.P.S.
Best of luck.
The Questions:
- What is Tom Thumbs wife’s name?
- What did Theodore Geisel feel his greatest work was?
- What Childrens book inspired a video, a ballet and an opera?
You may want to add me to you RSS feed, because if this giveaway is successful (I imagine it will be), I will be doing random giveaways in the coming months.
Good Luck.

Okay, could be a sneaky little sneaker and steal the answers, but I’ll take the hit:
1: Will Brad Pitt fit into any of these questions?
2: Brad Pitt??
3: Brad Pitt for certain!
Naw, I’m kidding, I can see by the answers above I am at a terrible deficit in the culture department! But fun giveaway it is anyway.
