STOCKTOBER2! A month of prizes and sweeties from VeryPC


Recommended Posts

Posted
So I told my wife about the joke compo and she came out with the best joke I have heard in a long time:

 

Why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?

 

To get to the same side.

 

Class.

 

“Wives, better than you at everything, since the dawn of time."

 

I first heard this joke in an episode of The Big Bang Theory.

A samurai sword IS a katana. [i think...]

 

That other weapon is a sai.

Oh yeah - a sai (which I actually thought was spelled "psi" as in the Greek letter, which makes extremely little sense for an ancient Japanese weapon) - remember that now (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

 

I think I sort of knew the katana thing, but my brain was obviously not on full power yesterday.

Are you on full power today? Are you turned up to 11?

 

Up to 12?!

 

 

Random thought: With all these upgrades to the prototype "pen"... soon it'll look like a laptop/tablet.

The last day should be Al...dressed as Miley Cyrus in the video of wrecking ball....taking a hammer to the wall of boxes whilst tweaking against Colin who is doubled up as Robin Thicke.....

Oh god no.

Oh god no.

 

Alternatively... Yes.

 

[Note: I in no way endorse this statement and/or any actions taken as a result.]

 

Side note: THIS BOX IS STILL HERE! I told Tom , he needs to get Al "Shoutypants" Robinson to tell the delivery guys to "BRING ME THE BOX!"

 

Le EDIT: Aww yeah, smooth jazz "please hold" music.

And yes, 24 has gone ;)

Available are: 1, 4, 9, 11, 15, 19, 20, 25, 26, 29 and all together in shouty voice "You can't choose the Playstation, that's the star prize" *wavy hands*

 

Thanks Sparkeh.

 

Well as I can't have the PS4 or 24, I suppose I will try 29, and failing that 11.

^^ Al, are you monitoring this thread at 10.45pm - that's dedication right there :)

I'd like to say that I'm permanently plugged into the Stocktobertron like some sort of Borg/Dalek/O'Neill(with 2 "l"s!)when-he-gets-that-computery-spike-through-his-shoulder-in-the-SGC-and-sends-his-little-electronic-tendrils-all-over-the-base/cyberjellyfish but the truth is I heard the alert ping (via the app on mobile) while I was at home and when I had a quick look I gratefully noticed @sparkeh had kindly done my job for me and filled @MrLudwig in on the box numbers available, which I appreciated with a quick "thanks" before putting my head down again. So VeryPC owe me about 4.3 seconds overtime for the hard work I put in last night with that.

 

Thanks Sparkeh.

Thanks,

I may also order pizza or something....perhaps via Just-Eat

 

I've decided that today is chip shop Tuesday which in many ways is similar to chip shop Friday.

 

Except it's on a Tuesday.

Sounds similar to my "Burger day-that-ends-with-y"

Posted

I will just be having my packed lunch.

 

But it is half term, so I shall be having it in the gym, with curtains drawn, speakers loud and projector on, watching BluRay rips of Star Trek: TNG :D

It's NOT Chip-shop Tuesday, it's not Burgerday, Pizzaday or Anyotherday... it's One-winner-draw-and-another-winner-who-previously-won-get's their-prize-revealed-day!

 

So here is today's winner draw and also belated prize reveal for @MrLudwig

 

http://youtu.be/ch01bfjxrsE

 

Remember entries are still open, so if you get in now you'll be in the draw from tomorrow onwards until your name is drawn (but will be put back before the star prize PS4 draw). To enter just PM me your professional contact details if you are a UK based IT manager/tech type, OR if you've entered a VeryPC competition on EduGeek before, you can just speak up in the thread that you want back in and we'll add you.

 

Gooooood luck!

ALIEN POWER!!!! I was going to ask for one for Xmas but NOW I DON'T NEED TO!!!!! OMG ROFLCOPTER!!! The T-shirts not bad either. Ta muchly for the box pulling request fulfilment!!

That's a great response to your prize. Always good to see the booby prizes received in such good spirit.

 

It's gonna be a Winter 2013 to remember when you go out on adventures with your new best buddy, Alien Power.

 

Al

 

Alien Power. Just Alien Power. That's it. Alien Power. They made a little ninja-like superhero looking dude, packaged him up, and wrote "Alien power" on the box. Genius really.

OI!!! He had my box. It clearly said 6 on that there real box, not changed and totally the same box!!

Nope. That was an upside down 9 and as everybody knows the 2 in 29 is silent.
