Semi-Random Meta-DAD Giveaway!
Posted by Meta-Dad under alert! , cool schtuff , dad , family , games , list-o-mania , meta-dad giveaway , the good, the bad, and the otherwise
I’m rooting for you. I want you to win this thing, really. No one was able to get last month’s giveaway questions, so we will continue in the category of Children’s Literature — but I am upping the ante. Whoever answers these three questions correctly will win two video game titles.
The Rules: Unfortunately, this give-away only works if you are in the United States - sorry Canada, sorry Mexico, sorry 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 winner when the contest is over.
The Prize: The Game Titles include: Ultimate Spiderman, Tony Hawk Underground 2, Wolfenstein, Doom III, 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 hang onto to it and offer it to the next contest. Just to be clear, the Winner will get to choose two video games and it will be sent it via U.S.P.S.
Best of luck.
The Questions:
- What was the original name for Curious George?
- Where did author Ludwig Bemelmans write his first book and what was it?
- Where did A. A. Milne purchase the stuffed Edward Bear that would soon after become his famous muse?
